墨子生活在春秋战国之交,出生于一个手工业劳动者家庭。他经常参加生产劳动,懂得手工艺。他一生没做过大官,吃的是粗茶淡饭,穿的是短褐麻履,对财富也看得极淡泊。楚王、越王虽都曾以五百里的封地为条件,让墨子为他们效力,但终因不能用其主张而被他婉言谢绝。史籍中对他的生卒年月都没有准确的记录,甚至对他一生是否结婚,是否有子嗣,都无 Mozi lived at the turn of the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States Period and was born into a family of handicraft laborers. He often participates in production labor and understands handicrafts. He had never been a big official in his life. He ate thick and light tea, wore short brown shoes, and looked very dilute in wealth. Although the kings of Chu and Vietnam had used the five-hundred-year seal as a condition to allow Mozi to work for them, he could not be used to refute him because of his claims. His historical records do not have an accurate record of his birth and death. Even if he has married for the rest of his life, he has no children.
