Want to truly understand Wang Yangming? Do you want to truly understand the unity of knowledge and action? Do you want to truly change yourself through mind learning?
If the answer is yes, then you must have encountered such a dilemma: when you open "Zhuan Xilu", you feel sleepy after reading three pages of a full text in classical Chinese; when you listen to others talk about inner learning, you feel that every sentence makes sense, but when you close the book, you still don't know what it has to do with you; you know that the unity of knowledge and action is not just talk, but when it comes to things, you should procrastinate or procrastinate, and should be entangled or entangled. You admire Wang Yangming, but you always feel that his life is too far away from you - he is a saint, and I am a mortal and cannot learn from him.
This is not your problem. It is said in the market that there is something wrong with Wang Yangming's book. Academic works are too hard to read; Chicken Soup for the Soul is too soft to read. None of them has accomplished one thing: restoring the study of mind from "quotations" to "living methods."
This book did it.
The whole book is divided into three parts. Volume 1, story. Using vivid writing style, you can follow Wang Yangming's life like a drama. He couldn't speak at the age of five and became a sage at the age of twelve. He was obsessed with bamboo until he vomited blood. On his wedding night, he went to the Taoist temple to chat with the old Taoist priests about health. After lying in the sarcophagus in Longchang all night, he realized that "my nature is self-sufficient". During the bandit suppression in southern Jiangxi, a letter asked the bandit leader who had been entrenched for ten years to come down and surrender. On Poyang Lake, he said "wait a minute" to 100,000 rebels. Every thought node is not a dry concept, but a real thing that he has honed in a specific desperate situation in life. When you follow him through this journey, the unity of knowledge and action is no longer just four words. You see with your own eyes how a person lives it out with his life.
