This means that theory should be combined with practice. The second is to advocate thinking and putting it into action, and to think when acting. It is not advisable to just think and do it at home.
The unity of knowledge and action means that the object conforms to the subject, knowledge refers to scientific knowledge, 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. Knowing the truth of things is inseparable from its application in reality. It refers to the propositions about epistemology and practice in China's ancient philosophy, mainly about 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".
Wang Shouren's thought of "unity of knowledge and action" includes the following two meanings.
1, there is a line in knowledge, and there is knowledge in the line. Wang Shouren believes that knowledge and action are the same thing, and cannot be divided into two parts. "Knowing and doing are two words, and it takes time to say it." From the perspective of moral education, Wang Shouren strongly opposes the disconnection between knowledge and practice and "knowing but not acting" in moral education, and puts all morality on individual's conscious action, which has positive significance. Because from the perspective of moral education, moral consciousness can not be separated from moral behavior, and moral behavior can not be separated from moral consciousness. The two are inseparable. Knowledge must be manifested in action, and failure cannot be regarded as real knowledge. Moral knowledge and moral consciousness must be manifested as moral behavior. If you don't act, it can't be regarded as real knowledge. Wang Shouren thought: Conscience is everything, but conscious action means knowing. This is undoubtedly profound.
2. Do what you know, do what you know. Wang Shouren said: "knowing is the idea of doing, and doing is the work of knowing;" Knowing is the beginning of doing, and doing is the achievement of knowing. " It means that morality is the guiding ideology of human behavior, and it is time to achieve "conscience" and act according to the requirements of morality. Ideological activity under the guidance of morality is the beginning of behavior, and behavior that meets the requirements of moral norms is the completion of "conscience"
