The study of Mozi's AntiMusicthought requires firstly to define the scope of Mozi's Antimusic.According to the view in criticism of Confucianism and Moismby Moruo Guo,Mozi's AntiMusicis used in a broad sense,and not confined simply to the musicitself,so it con be concluded that Mozi's Antimusicis opposite to Hedonism.As a thinker representing the common people of the time,Mozi's theory of Antihedonismis positive,and if this theory is understood from the perspective of modern behavior science,his thought is certainly based on a scientific ground.Therefore,there can be little mistake for Mozi to oppose a luxurious life of both material and culture on behalf of the people's interests,and his thought is no doubt of great importance to the society of today.
