The story about Wang Yangming’s speech and moral integrity is recorded as follows in the Ming Dynasty:

The fifteenth year of Hongzhi (1502) and the fifteenth year of Zhengde (1520) of the Ming Dynasty ) Wang Mingyang visited Jiuhua Mountain twice, sought out immortals and asked questions, and finally realized the wonder of the nature of the mind. The first time he asked a Taoist priest named Cai Pengtou, he asked for advice respectfully. Taoist Cai only said, "I will never forget my official position" and then left with a smile.

The second time I went to visit the eminent monk in Dizang Cave, the eminent monk only said, "Zhou Lianxi is a good Confucian scholar" and turned away. Zhou Lianxi is proficient in the Book of Changes, and his writing "comes out of the mud without being stained, and washes through the pure ripples without being evil" comes from his writing. Wang Yangming sought out Mount Jiuhua to clarify his nature and focused on Confucianism. Work tirelessly to improve yourself. On the one hand, he perfected his moral character and on the other hand, he was loyal to his country. At that time, hundreds of thousands of thieves were causing chaos in Jiangxi and other places, and the court could do nothing. Wang Yangming led his troops to defeat the bandits in just three months. King Ning planned a rebellion for eight years, and Wang Mingyang spent 22 days to put down King Ning's rebellion. Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was falsely accused by treacherous officials, saying that he had the intention of treason. After investigation, Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty said: He is just a Taoist, so why should he change his mind? So he was sent to guard the place.

In his later years, Wang Mingyang became the Minister of the Ministry of War, founded the Xinxue, and became a great Confucian of his generation. He established his words, established his morals, and made meritorious deeds, and his talent surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty!
