Wang Yangming's Theory of Mind: the Wisdom of Unifying Knowledge and Action

Who doesn't live by their heart? Regardless of whether the perception is wrong or right, everyone lives in their own perception. A sentence in the textbook about idealism and feudal remnants has a great impact on traditional Chinese culture. Obviously only a layman would say such a thing! On the one hand, it wants us to liberate our minds, but on the other hand, it restricts and guides our thoughts! Culture should be open and inclusive. Aren't the things left over from feudal society suitable for modern society? Modern society is becoming more and more impetuous and nihilistic, and more and more people are pursuing external pursuits. One day, traditional culture will disappear, and China will cease to exist.

At the beginning, I was influenced by modern society, which caused my thinking and opinions to confuse my heart. I have been chasing material needs and doing whatever it takes to achieve my goals. Reading this book gave me a different experience, and I was obsessed with it. This book is my "teacher"

"The absence of good and evil is the essence of the heart. The existence of good and evil is the movement of the will. Knowing good and evil is conscience. Doing good and eliminating evil is the investigation of things." Wonderful!

There are countless philosophers in ancient China, but there are relatively few who have truly entered the hall and are respected and admired by future generations. But Wang Yangming is definitely one of those few. The psychology and many ideas he mentioned can make many people amazed and enlightened after understanding and studying them, even in the 21st century. This is the embodiment of philosophy and Wang Yangming's ultimate charm and his super talent. This book introduces the most important ideas put forward by Wang Yangming to everyone. If you are interested in ancient Chinese philosophy, such a book will definitely satisfy the appetite of many gourmets.

Confucius said to Zigong: "What you did is wrong. From now on, the people of Lu will no longer redeem their compatriots who have become slaves. If you receive compensation from the state, it will not damage the value of your actions. But if you refuse to receive the money you advanced, you have violated the rules established by the state. I am afraid that others will no longer be willing to redeem people in the future." Good people who do good deeds and receive praise and rewards will not damage the value of their good deeds. On the contrary, more people will be willing to do good deeds. Leading to conscience → unity of knowledge and action → grinding things into practice.

The highlights have been screenshotted, and I'm going to buy a paper book. What a great book, I feel like I've seen it so late. If only I were 10 years younger... But it's not too late now, 30 is just the right time to start my life again.

It is worthy of being a sage's study. It is very exciting and more useful than reading some cool articles about cultivating immortals in the city!

I think I will do it again a few times or more. I don't feel that I understand it very well, but I also feel that I have gained a lot. I feel that knowledge and action are one, lead to conscience, and knowledge is the beginning of action... I seem to understand these, but I feel that I have no way to start. After thinking about it for a long time, I thought it would teach me to find my true self and achieve the state of innocence I had when I was just born. After truly achieving a state of perfection from the inside out, you can instinctively be close to the people and be virtuous. What do you think after reading it? Welcome to give advice

Confucianism and Taoism are integrated, knowledge and action are unified, internal and external are linked, and success is achieved in the moment.

The unity of knowledge and action mentioned by Wang Yangming means that knowing and doing go together. So what is the knowledge we learn in class and what is its use? We don't know and haven't practiced yet, so what exactly are we learning?

Thoughts after reading: Let me tell you an episode first. One time I was bragging to a friend that I was reading Wang Yangming's Unity of Knowledge and Action. Unexpectedly, my friend said, "You can just read a rough outline of the things in the book, especially the literature. You don't have that much time to really understand it." After listening, I had an epiphany... I raised my head and glanced at this kid, but I didn't expect him to have such an enlightenment! This book is indeed well written, and the articles are in order. Reading it several times will deepen your understanding. I suggest you think more and understand more after reading it.

I really benefited a lot. I want to read it a few more times.

"Those who know but do not do it, know but do not do it, are ignorant." Among Wang Yangming's theories of mind, what I admire most and like most is his wisdom of integrating knowledge and action. Combining knowledge with action and improving individual moral quality and practical wisdom through practice. Xinxue believes that human nature is inherently equipped with conscience and kindness. Through introspection and practice, people can awaken their inner moral consciousness and pursue the kindness and truth in their hearts. The combination of the two is the fundamental direction of our life and work.

I like this book so much. It is all about concrete methods and not empty words at all. Really practical!

People who are too fragile must read it, calm down and watch it, and then practice it, study things to gain knowledge, and unite knowledge and action.

Everyone understands the word conscience, but there are very few people who can truly integrate knowledge and action. Only through practice can we benefit from the word conscience. Do good and avoid evil, and have nothing in your heart.

I just read the first part and it feels good, keep reading!

Wang Shouren, a master of spiritual studies, was proficient in the thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and was extremely talented in military affairs.

This book is the reader's notes on studying Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind. It explains Wang Yangming's core ideas very clearly and thoroughly, which is to study things to gain knowledge, to unite knowledge and action, and to find the best in the heart. Many principles are still applicable to us today. We need to read them several times and understand them carefully.

If this mind is not sharpened by things, where can it be sharpened? The biggest gain is this sentence,
