    Reflection on "Three Standards" of Mozi Studying the “three standards” proposed by Mozi through this Chinese - English text, I’ve gained profound insights and reflections. First, in terms of content comprehension, the English explanation helps me accurately grasp the connotations of the “three standards”. Translating concepts like “表 (biao)” as “standard or norm” and detailing how Mozi used sage - kings’ governance, people’s experience, and national - people’s interests to judge right and wrong, it makes this ancient philosophical thought more accessible. However, I realize that translation can only convey literal meanings to some extent; the deep - rooted cultural context and philosophical wisdom behind Mohism still require in - depth exploration in Chinese classical texts.
