Xinxue is one of the schools with the most profound and widespread influence in China in the past five hundred years. This book examines the role and function of mind science and its founder, Mr. Wang Yangming, from a macro perspective of Chinese culture. Of course, Wang Yangming is also one of the most perfect people in modern Chinese history. The famous historian Li Bo systematically stated Wang Yangming's life through detailed data collection and showed his process of cultivating his mind and becoming a saint. It should be said that contemporary people deserve to read Mr. Yangming's works and pay attention to the study of mind and the way to perfect a human being.
From the heart being the principle, there is nothing outside the heart, to the unity of knowledge and action, and finally to conscience. From sitting in silence to clearing one's mind, to the unity of knowledge and action, and finally to conscience. I have a general understanding of Yangming's Mind Theory. Although I have some insights, I still need to practice it in practice before I can reach the state of being unmoved. This book looks at Yangming's Xinxue very objectively, starting from Wang Yangming's childhood growth and educational environment, to his first career as an official, to his enlightenment in Longchang, to the suppression of bandits in Jiangxi, and finally to the four-sentence general outline of Xinxue. From the world view, outlook on life, and values, tell us how to better listen to our hearts.
This book gave me a deeper understanding of Wang Yangming, and I was deeply inspired by his concept of integrating knowledge and action. Teacher Li Bo's narration was very vivid, making me seem to see Wang Yangming's continuous exploration in difficult situations. The book mentioned that Wang Yangming showed his genius when he was a child, which I admired very much. He dared to ask questions in front of everyone. This unique spirit is worth learning from us. This book is not only a biography, but also a life guide that can benefit people a lot.
Wang Yangming is the master of Confucian psychology. His view is that the world is created by the mind, and this world exists in our hearts. As long as we don't see it and don't think about it, it doesn't exist. He attributed the search for the truth of the universe to the journey of the soul. He was a very smart man who trudged hard in this world just to find the truth in his heart. He made great contributions to ancient Chinese traditional Confucianism and was a great Confucianist.
Wang Yangming can be said to be a great man of China's generation, capable of both literary and military skills. His life was rough but he achieved high achievements. "Longchang Enlightenment" has always been widely praised, and his influence on Yangming's philosophy is also quite widespread. The author of this book combs through Wang Yangming's life and tells in detail the outstanding talents he showed since he was eleven years old. He wrote two quatrains with just one stroke of pen and ink; and later opposed Confucianism and summarized the concept of "leading to conscience"; and finally Longchang enlightened and opened up a new school of thought.

The story is based on timeline and has clear logic
Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind is the essence of traditional Chinese culture and the great wisdom of Chinese literati. The 21st century must be an era of philosophy of mind.
A good book, a good book to understand Mr. Yangming
Outstanding wisdom and noble morality. Do whatever you want without breaking the rules. What a profound state this is.
Teacher Libo's explanation in simple terms allowed us to see the charm of the ancient saints and also see Teacher Libo's profound literacy in Chinese studies. We admire her.
So beautiful and so wise.
This heart is so bright, what else can I say?
What else can I say about the brightness of my heart?
Easy to understand, humorous and interesting
I think this book is very good. I read it once and found it very rewarding. Maybe I can understand it at some point in the future.
The language is fluent and can be used as an introductory book to understand Yangming's philosophy of mind.
