What do you mean by this bright heart?
Meaning:

I am the light of the world, and I am the one who can know, feel and understand. I've never been alone. I feel like a person, just like I watch a movie, I am an eternal existence.

It shows that all actions depend on thoughts, so if you want to be correct, you must cultivate your mind and reach the realm of knowing good and evil. This clear mind is the realm of knowing good and evil.

Therefore, saying that "this heart is clear and there is nothing to say" is not silence, but has been made clear.

Extended data

The author's main achievements:

Wang Shouren (1472, 1 0,31-1529,19), Han nationality, was born in Yuyao County, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province (now Yuyao, Ningbo).

Scholars call him Mr. Yangming, also known as Wang Yangming, because he once built a room in Yangming Cave in Huiji Mountain. A famous thinker, writer, philosopher and strategist in Ming Dynasty, he was proficient in Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and was a master of Wang Lu's mind.

Advantages:

In the 13th year of Zheng De's reign (15 18), Wang Shouren put peace first, and put down the civil strife that had plagued Jiangxi for decades.

In the fourteenth year of Zheng De (15 19), Wang Yangming followed the example of Battle of Red Cliffs in Poyang Lake and put down the rebellion of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Hongdu Ning.

In the seventh year of Jiajing (1528), the rebellion of the southwest kiln and the thief of Duanteng Gorge were put down.

Thought:

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. Wang Shouren inherited Lu Jiuyuan's thought that "mind is reason".

Oppose Cheng Yi and Zhu's method of seeking the "ultimate truth" through things, because things are endless and unique, which is quite tiring. Therefore, he advocates "the pursuit of conscience" and seeks "truth" from his own heart. Truth lies in the heart and turns into everything in the universe. People grasp its subtlety, so people grasp its essence.
