1, emphasizing "the unity of knowledge and action", if you know, you must act, otherwise you can't really know. It has influenced the way people do things in future generations, so we should learn to be down-to-earth. On the battlefield.

2. The establishment of Yangming's theory of mind enriched the thoughts of the late Qing society, liberated people's feudal thoughts at that time, and contributed to the disintegration of feudal society.

Disadvantages:

1, "Yangming's mind" is fundamentally idealistic, and his starting point is wrong.

2. Wang Yangming emphasized the idea that "mind is reason", demanding that reason be derived from "heart", and exaggerated the importance of "heart".

Yangming school, also known as Wang Xue and Xue Xin, as a school of Confucianism, can be traced back to Mencius at the earliest, and it is a kind of Confucianism developed in Wang Shouren. Judging from Wang Shouren's life experience, he was obviously influenced by Taoism more than Buddhism, but he could not do without the essence of Confucianism.

Extended data:

Like all Neo-Confucians in Song and Ming Dynasties, Wang Yangming's standard is only six words: to be upright and to destroy human desires.

These are the six words that Confucian culture has been severely criticized in China since modern times, and it is also the place where Neo-Confucianism, including Yangming's theory of mind, has been misunderstood and even misinterpreted most seriously. The reason for this is that "justice" is usually interpreted as feudal ethics, while "human desire" is often understood as the basic desire of human beings.

In Wang Yangming's view, "justice" refers to the law of the universe and mind. At the same time, "human desire" never refers to people's basic desires (such as food, clothing, housing and transportation), but refers to those unreasonable and improper desires that go beyond the boundaries between law and morality.

Therefore, the correct explanation of Yangming's mind theory should be: on the one hand, we should know more about the law of communication between the universe and the mind, and keep more conscious photos of the mind; On the other hand, we should constantly get rid of those unreasonable and improper desires in our inner world.
