The core of Yangming's theory of mind is "the heart is reason", "leading to conscience" and "the unity of knowledge and action". He advocates speaking according to the requirements of one's own nature, advocating that one should try one's best to express thoughts and feelings that have been suppressed for a long time, and advocating that people use the original "conscience" of "my heart" to distinguish right from wrong and act in accordance with their own wishes. This kind of practical spirit and values ​​of achievement reflect the subjective spirit of human beings and have the shadow of modern enlightenment philosophy. Wang Yangming's pursuit of independent consciousness and the concept of individual liberation caused huge waves in the ideological circles at that time and injected fresh academic air. Years are passing and times are changing, but Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind remains timeless and still exudes great spiritual charm. In order to allow readers to comprehensively understand Wang Yangming's philosophy from multiple angles, we took the Longqing Xie's engraving of "Wang Wencheng Gongquan Shu" as the base, carefully edited, organized, and checked, and finally formed this set of "Wang Yangming Collection".
