The study on the natural science features of Mohist Canon (Chinese classic) is hard, heated and trendy in contemporary Chinese and international academic communities on traditional culture. This classic, appearing in the 3 rd century BC, is a rare mini-encyclopedia, covering many aspects of science. It is argued that we should study it according to knowledge classification and scientific analysis methods. Previous experiences by famous scholars like Joseph Needham and Qian Linzhao could serve as basis of reference for the study of natural science features in Mohist Canon, for example, mechanics, optics, math and physics.
