First, the introduction of characters

Wang Yangming, whose real name is Shouren, whose real name is Boan, is from Yuyao, Zhejiang. Born in Chenghua, Ming Xianzong for eight years (1472), he died in Jiajing, Ming Dynasty for seven years (1528). He was a famous philosopher, politician, strategist and educator in Ming Dynasty. Scholars call him Mr. Yangming because he once built a room in Yangming Cave in Huiji Mountain and called himself Yangming Zi.

Second, the educational purpose of "learning to be an excellent official"

In Wang Yangming's view, a saint is not a person with profound knowledge and superior ability, but a person with pure heart and pure desire. "The reason why saints are holy is because their hearts are pure and natural, and no one wants to be mixed with them." Therefore, the educational purpose of Wang Yangming's study of saints is to enable people to "preserve justice and destroy human desires" through education, so as to achieve the realm of self-knowledge and self-awareness.

Third, the educational principles of "understanding human relations" and "learning to get rid of ignorance"

He hopes to achieve the goal of sanctification by "understanding human relations" Therefore, "understanding human relations" is the means and way of "learning to be an excellent official".

Learn to get rid of your ignorance because Wang Yangming believes that everyone's original heart is pure and natural, and moral decay is because individuals are covered up by external desires in the process of contact with external things. Therefore, to restore the true conscience, we must get rid of the cover-up of foreign objects and selfish desires.
