This article is trying to clarify the academic origins and history of the idea of “Universal Love”, as well as analyze the concept in the context of Mozi. Chapter three is the hard core. The first step is to interpret the root of value of Universal Love, i.e. the “Will of Heaven”; then this article tries to connect this interpretation with the related theses to reconstruct the Theory of “Universal Love”. This chapter concludes with some objections to the theory mentioned in Mozi and the ways how Mozi can reply to these objections. The chapter four describes: “Exaltation of the Virtuous”; “Identification with the Superior”; “Condemnation of Offensive War”; “On Ghosts”;“Economy of Expenditures”; “Simplicity in Funerals”; “Condemnation of Music” and “Antifatalism. Seeing these ideas as the application of Universal Love, these ideas help this article to conclude this chapter with an attempt of stating the value of Universal Love to Pre-Qin Dynasty and contemporary society.
