(1) "Explain and set internally"

Wang Chong pointed out: "Nothing is clear and effective, there is not necessarily evidence, it is empty talk, it is empty talk. Although you have a heart, people still don't believe it. " Therefore, he stressed that understanding things should be both "listening from outside" and "

Read it inside. "There are many ways to interpret, and the most important thing is practice. He said: "Things have been verified and the effect is real. "That is to say, knowledge and theory must conform to objective facts and must be tested by actual effects. This is Wang Chong's basic teaching methodology.

(2) Consistency of learning and application

Wang Chong advocates that learning knowledge is for application. He said: "Anyone who stays can use it. That is, the disciples read aloud and read poems satirically. Although there are more than a thousand, parrots can talk and so on. " He emphasized that what he had learned should be integrated, applied to practice and solved problems.

(3) "far away from the teacher" and "difficult to ask"

Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty were good at "praising the past and belittling the present" and "believing in teachers is the past", which led to the silence of educational atmosphere and academic decline. Especially in education management, strictly following the method of learning from others leads to scholars' narrow knowledge and rigid thinking. The later Confucianism believed the former teacher and told an old story. "As a result, rumors have been handed down and fallacies have been inherited. So Wang Chong pointed out "the distance from the teacher". He said: "It is difficult to learn the law without talent, and it is difficult to leave the teacher, test the truth of the Tao, and prove right and wrong. "He advocated breaking the superstition of imitating the ancients and dared to ask difficult questions. Even the words of Confucius and Mencius should not be blindly followed. Wang Chong pointed out: "If you have a question you don't understand, Confucius will be in trouble. Why do you hurt righteousness? "If you have the knowledge of the sacred industry and draw the words of Confucius, why not? "This educational thought of advocating independent thinking and opposing blind obedience and superstition has played a role in emancipating the mind to a certain extent. This is the most valuable part of Wang Chong's educational thought.
