Mr. Wang's learning began with the proliferation of ci chapters, and then he read through the books of Kao Ting and followed suit in turn. Regardless of physics and psychology, I finally got two exams and got nothing. So I went in and out with Buddha for a long time. When living in a foreign country is difficult and patient, what else can we do because we miss the saints here? I suddenly realized the purpose of "learning from the scriptures", the way of being a saint, my self-sufficiency, and I don't pretend to seek outside. His study began with three changes. Since then, all branches and leaves have been removed, with the original intention as the study. Only when there is no hair, can there be the sum of hair and middle section, the rate is mainly convergence, and divergence is a last resort. After You Jiang, he purposely mentioned the word "to conscience", and sat down silently. It was his own day to be ignorant and carefree. Cover conscience is "in development", and this knowledge has never been developed before. Conscience is "the sum of festivals in China". After this knowledge, there is nothing. This knowledge can be converged, and it is not necessary to focus on convergence. This knowledge can spread itself, so there is no need to wait. Convergence, body feeling, static and dynamic. Divergent, silent, dynamic and static. Know the reason and do it, and know the reason and know it. After living in Vietnam, you will be familiar with what you have done and benefit from it. You will always know right and wrong, and you will always have nothing but nothing. Open your mouth and you will get your heart. There is no excuse to get together, such as when the sun is shining and everything is shining. It was after the completion of the research that these three changes took place.
One change: understand "mind is reason", emphasize the unity of knowledge and action, and grasp knowledge by grasping things.
Now, according to the chronology, for example, according to what Li Zhou said:
Three scholars were eight years old in Guiyang and began to talk about "the unity of knowledge and action".
Thirty-nine years old, in Kyrgyzstan, returned from Longchang, and linguists realized merit. He said:
In Guiyang, there are many similarities and differences in the teaching of integration of knowledge and practice, but I don't know what I want to enter. I am sitting quietly in the monk temple with all the students here, so that I can realize my body and feel at ease.
On the way, Mr. Wang wrote a book to his master and said:
I used to sit in the clouds in the temple, but I didn't want to meditate. Because we always struggle for things, the unknown is our own, so we want to make up for the primary school "rest assured" for a while.
I went to Nanjing in the winter of 2008 to talk with Huang Wan about the sacred learning cloud.
If a scholar wants to be a saint, he must clean up his body and mind, so that he can not stay. Only by seeing the truth can he have a place of self-restraint.
Mr. Huang Wan doubts its difficulty and says:
The heart of a saint is like a mirror, which can't hold it, so don't kill it. If ordinary people's heart is like a mirror to refute corrosion, it must be painfully scraped and polished to refute corrosion; Then brush it off when you see dust, and it doesn't consume electricity. At this point, it is already a kind body. The refutation can't go away, there is a little light in it, the dust settles, and you can see it before you brush it. As for the accumulation and erosion on the barge, the broom can finally be seen. This study is different in benefits, difficulty and encouragement. It's okay, don't feel difficult and doubt.
This is the first change that Mr. Li Zhou said after he finished his studies. He advocates focusing on convergence and divergence as a last resort. You have to work so hard to see your conscience. There is a question and answer between Mr. Yang Ming and Mr. Lu Cheng in Biography:
Cheng asked, "The meaning of Chinese characters."
Said: "This must be recognized from the heart, beyond words, but only in the sky."
Say, "What is justice?"
He said, "You don't know who you are until you get what you want."
Yue: "Why is justice in the middle?"
Said, "No prejudice."
Say, "What kind of weather is this?"
Yue said, "Bright as a mirror, everything is bright and clean, and there is no trace of dust."
Yue: "Prejudice is affected, such as lust, interests, good name and so on. You can see prejudice; " If it is not made, beauty, fame and fortune are irrelevant, how can we know that it is biased? "
Yue: "Although we don't love each other, we are always lustful, profitable and famous." : nothing, just something; Even if it exists, it is not impartial. For example, a person who has malaria sometimes doesn't get sick, but the root of the disease hasn't been removed, so he can't be called a disease-free person. It must be selfish to be lascivious, good-looking and famous on weekdays, sweep and tidy up, without lingering; And this heart is full of contours, pure rationality; It can be said that among joys and sorrows, it is the foundation of heaven and earth. "
This question and answer is all about the work of the heart, which should be clean, pollution-free, impartial, clear-headed and not stagnant; These words are also the true kung fu of "changing temperament" handed down from the Northern Song Dynasty, and can also be said to be the true blood of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties. It can be seen that Mr. Yangming is just a son of the Ke family in the Song learning tradition and has never changed the family style of his ancestors. If you don't work hard from now on, you won't recognize your true conscience, don't understand Yangming's mind, and don't deserve to pay attention to the true meaning of Neo-Confucianism. I arrived in Chuzhou at the age of 42 and have been traveling ever since. Meng Yuan asked Zen meditation that there were many ideas that could not be banned. Mr. Wang said:
Other thoughts are also forbidden; Just thinking about the budding place and examining the rules, after justice and agility, there is a meaning of "everything pays". Naturally, there are no distractions. The so-called "Zhi Zhi will settle down in the future" is also in the "university".
Arrived in Nanjing at the age of forty-three. There are many scholars who have come from Chu to study abroad, and some of them have gradually abandoned their teachers. Mr. Yun:
In recent years, I have been trying to punish the vulgar and recruit the virtuous, and I have been clever all the way, turning disadvantages into advantages; Today, seeing scholars gradually flowing into emptiness, I have already regretted shedding new ideas.
According to the chronicle, Mr. Nanji talked about learning, and the only teacher was "keeping the principles of nature, getting rid of people's desires, and saving experience and doing practical work". This is the turning point of Mr. Wang's guidance. He punished evil and promoted good, taught people to lead an honest and clean life, and taught people to lead an honest and clean life, so he took a brilliant road. However, some scholars have fallen into emptiness since then, so they changed their careers and taught people to do the work of reading and listening. A passage written by Liu Cheng in Biography goes like this:
A day's work is to study. The teacher said: "teaching people to learn should not be biased." At first, I was energetic, and I was bound. Most of what I think is the side of human desire. Therefore, teach them to sit still and think. After a long time, once his mind is settled, it is useless to just hang in the air and keep quiet like dying embers. He must be taught to examine and treat. There is no time to examine the merits of province and rule. If you go to the thief, you must have a feeling of being swept away. When you have nothing to do, you should pursue one by one, look for lust, good goods and good names, and you must uproot them and never get up again. It is often like a cat catching a mouse. As you watched and listened, an idea sprouted, and that was to go with Dick. Be firm, not indifferent, and it is convenient for him. Don't harbor him, don't let him out. If you work hard, you can clean up. It is selfless, it will always exist. "
As can be seen from this article, "check and cure" is only a time to "clean up". At that time, Mr. Yangming only talked about "getting rid of human desires and preserving righteousness", "changing temperament" and "waiting and watching". He just followed the great tradition since the Northern Song Dynasty and really became a master of Neo-Confucianism. Did he raise the banner of rebellion and flaunt the slogan of revolution to overthrow the previous theory? He has only a slight view of Zhu's success. Some people say that he violated Zhu, while others say that he returned to Xiangshan. The opinions of the portal really can't be solved; But as long as you look at the source, it is meaningless to know the portal dispute.
Since he was forty-six, Mr. Wang has made many remarkable achievements, especially the war to quell the rebellion. Unexpectedly, a generation of courtiers Zhong Zhang and Xu Tai said that Wang Shouren was determined to rebel, so something happened. This is the second time that Yang Ming has worn off after the Longchang Post Station, and his endurance has grown endlessly in his heart.
The second change: exposing the teaching of "to conscience"
At the age of 50, in Jiangxi, he began to teach To Conscience. Chronicles say that he has changed from Chen Hao, loyalty and Thailand, and his conscience is really enough to forget his troubles and share life and death. Zou Shouyi's suicide note said:
Recently, I believe that the word "to conscience" is true. In the past, there was no doubt about grain. Since there is trouble today, only this conscience is enough. If you are riding a boat, you will get the rudder, flat and shallow, and everyone is happy. Despite the wind and waves, the tiller is in hand, which can avoid addiction.
Mr. Wang added:
Some of this theory of conscience comes from hundreds of deaths and sufferings, so I have to say it all at once, fearing that scholars will get it, and it is easy to play with it as a situation instead of studying and undertaking this knowledge seriously.
The Chronicle says again:
Since then, Mr. Wang has always indicated to scholars that it is fundamental to "preserve justice and get rid of human desires". You ask, you ask yourself. You never mentioned why justice is like this. An interlingual friend said, "I want to play this role recently, but I just feel that I can't say a word, and I can't compare it with each other." Jiu Nai said: "I think this research has become even more useless recently. He is just these children, and after that, there is nothing. " Others envy health and say, "Even these children have no place." After today's changes, there is a theory of conscience.
This is Mr. Yangming's second reform after his completion in Lizhou. During the period, "to conscience" was specifically mentioned. In the first period, Mr. Wang preached and taught to solve doubts, and only borrowed the words of his predecessors to prove his experience. Today, he has created his own purpose, achieved his own words and become a family statement. In Wang Xue's course, the changes of Chen Hao and Zhongtai and the demotion of Longchangyi can really be said to be after reflection. No wonder Mr. Wang said that his theory of conscience came from hundreds of deaths and tribulations.
Mr. Wang is a man with lofty sentiments and aspirations. He is brilliant and ambitious. He is full of energy and suffering. His personality is persistent, jumping, indulgent and considerate. The scene at Longchangyi broke the bondage, was extremely severe and cold, and had to change its direction and make it close to its own heart, although it still preserved his bursting vitality. Only then did he have a profound and true understanding of his heart and its strength. Now, closely following his earth-shattering career, the dangers and doubts are shocking, and they are suppressed and hit harder. From the point of view of fame and fortune, Yangming at this time is naturally far beyond the Longchang Yicheng era. However, it is much more complicated and difficult to notice his psychological discomfort and the difficulty of his name than the stone oath in Dragon Field Post. Yang Ming suffered this second destruction, but he can still preserve his exuberant vitality, not falling down or looking back, but he wants to deepen his understanding and truly return to a deeper level of his heart. Make him realize that the place where he can stretch his infinite will, carry forward his infinite feelings and exercise his infinite wisdom is not outside, but inside himself. He finally got a better understanding of his so-called conscience and shouted the slogan "to conscience" to guide scholars and the world. Everything such as "determination", "sincerity" and "tempering things" mentioned by Mr. Yang Ming should be seen in this organ; Mr. Wang's "conscience" is nothing more than that.
Mr. Wang returned to Vietnam after he was fifty years old. The Chronicle recorded the following when he was fifty-two years old:
Zou Shouyi, Xue Kan, Wang Gen, etc. It has been said for a long time. The gentleman said, "gentlemen, tell the story." Mr. You Yan has a high position, so he is jealous; Mr. Yan Yan studied Japan, argued the similarities and differences between Song and Confucianism, and slandered academically; It is said that the world is full of tourists, so if you don't advance, you will retreat and be slandered. The master said, "People who say three things are sincere, and I know it very well, but you can't say it." I want to ask and say that I still have the meaning of homesickness, because Nanjing; It is really wrong to believe in conscience now, without concealment and protection. People always do crazy things. Let the world say I don't hide anything, I will only act according to my conscience. "
Mr. Huang Zongxian's Book says again:
Recently, Qian Shang and others talked about the chapter of "homesickness" in Mencius, which was quite amazing. (Click to refer to the previous section. ) Friends from all corners of the country come and go, and there are also many benefits in the middle: but those who really have the strength to bear it are rare. Generally speaking, modern scholars have the ambition of being saints, and they have something in their hearts and can clear their ears.
He "and Zou Shu" and said:
It is precisely because of the word "light and proud" that we can say that we are working hard and sincere. However, knowing contempt is a kind of "conscience", and this kind of conscience is a kind of "thing" except contempt. If you get the word "knowledge", you will fight for authenticity through the ages. If you break it together, you can't hide it. The homesickness mentioned before can be cooked.
Mr. Wang is a wild passerby. He was devastated by the outside world, but his inner wildness was getting higher and higher. He started the main connection, and when it comes to cleaning up, it is close to the point. If you have something in your chest, you can't be crazy until you get rid of it. From the words "crazy" and "stubborn", we can understand the news of conscience and know that Mr. Wang is a man. The wishes of my hometown are only flattering the world, but I can't get rid of vulgarity, so I can't see the true body of my conscience.
Three changes: leading to the middle road
Fifty-three-year-old Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festival banquet master Yu Tianquan Bridge. Tomorrow, the students will be grateful. Miss Wang has warned them:
The former Confucius was in Chen, and he was a madman who wanted Lu. People in the world are addicted to the field of wealth and sound, such as being imprisoned, and can't get away; When I heard the teachings of Confucius, I realized that all customs are not sex, but suddenly fall off. However, seeing this idea, without practice, in order to enter a subtle way, then gradually there is a disease of ignoring the world and being broad-minded Although it is different from the mediocre and trivial people in the world, it is also one to be self-reliant. Therefore, Kong was in Chen, thinking it was cut, which made him hear. You give lectures, but you have no intention of being a teacher; It's just a matter of hard work to see this today, so that the Tao is not self-sufficient at first sight and stops at madness.
This is what Mr. Wang said, we should guide from the wild to the middle. Since then, it is the third period after Mr. Li Zhou said that he had finished his studies. Generally speaking, from arrogance to arrogance, from arrogance to the middle way, he entered the country by his own efforts, and so did his academic courses.
