The Mo Zi. Easily the most impressive philosophical text in world history prior to the Enlightenment. It's baffling how Confucianism caught on afterwards, though I suppose it helps that apparently most of Mencius was just damage control from the massive amount of butthurt that they received from the Mohists. Shame most of it is incapable of being understood well because it's both fragmentary and in really, really old Chinese.
