As promptly noted by both Mencius and Han Fei in their respective writings, the Mohists 墨家 were an important school of philosophy during the Warring States period in ancient China. Most scholars who work on Mohism focus on its notions of jian’ai 兼愛 (universal love), feigong 非攻 (condemnation of offensive war), feiming 非命 (anti-fatalism), and jiezang 節葬 (moderation in funerals). It should be noted, however, that Mohists were also adept at the art of defence in war. While there have been occasional discussions of and anecdotal references to military issues in Mohism, very little attention has been devoted to its war philosophy and strategies. This paper argues that the chapters after ＂Bei chengmen＂ 備城門 in the Mozi 墨子 are replete with military materials, betraying an umambivalent tendency towards violence and brutality. Upon close examination, however, such qualities can be construed as derived from the Mohist thoughts on jian’ai and feigong.
