The unity of knowing and doing is also divided into three arguments-born knowing how to do things safely, learning how to do things profitably, and struggling when in trouble.

People with outstanding temperament are born to do things according to principles. This is called "knowing what you were born to do"-knowing what you were born to do and doing it safely. As long as he doesn't follow the principle, he will feel uneasy and uncomfortable and will correct himself automatically.

A gentle person is "learning to be an official"-learning to be an official. You should know and understand that this is beneficial to you and can be obtained before you do it.

People who feel inferior mentally are "struggling with knowledge"-they know what they are trapped in and have the courage to do it. After learning a lesson and receiving education, I can barely do it myself.

The unity of knowledge and action means that the object conforms to the subject, knowledge refers to conscience, and action refers to human practice. The unity of knowing and doing is neither swallowing action with knowledge nor swallowing knowledge with action, and thinking that action is knowledge. This was put forward by Wang Shouren, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty. In other words, understanding the truth of things and its application in reality are inseparable.

This is the proposition of epistemology and practice in China's ancient philosophy, which mainly focuses on moral cultivation and practice. Ancient philosophers in China believed that we should not only know ("know"), but also practice ("do"). Only by unifying "knowledge" and "action" can it be called "goodness". The unity of conscience and knowing and doing is the core of Yangming culture.
