First of all, Wang Yangming introduced:
Wang Yangming (philosopher of Ming Dynasty) generally refers to Wang Shouren (thinker, strategist and psychologist of Ming Dynasty).
Wang Shouren (1472 65438+1October 31529 65438+1October 9), whose real name is Wang Yun, whose name is Bo 'an, whose name is Yangming, is a Leshan layman from Yuyao, Zhejiang.
Wang Shouren, a scholar in the 12th year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1499), was the son of Nanjing official Wang Hua. He served in the three dynasties of Xiaozong, Wuzong and Sejong, and served as the director of punishments such as Longchang Yicheng, Luling Magistrate, Youjidu Yushi, Gannan Governor and Guangdong Governor.
He put down the bandits' rebellion and rebellion in southern Jiangxi and Guangdong successively, and was given a new post for his merits, becoming one of the three civil servants (the other two were Jing Yuanji and Wei Ningyue) who were awarded the title for their meritorious service in the Ming Dynasty. In his later years, officials paid homage to Shi Yu, the capital of Nanjing Ministry of War. Jiajing died in November (1529 65438+ 10) at the age of 57.
Second, the concept:
Wang Shouren's research takes "heart" as a religion, and he takes "heart" as the ontology of the universe, and puts forward the proposition that "heart is reason", arguing that "there is nothing outside the heart, nothing outside the heart, and unreasonable outside the heart". Post-school advocates the theory of "unity of knowledge and action", saying that "conscience" is "justice" and emphasizes observing justice from the heart.
Wang Yangming's anecdotes and allusions;
1, disaster avoidance:
After putting down Wang Ningzhi's rebellion, the holy driving suddenly went on patrol again. The treacherous court official's mind was unpredictable, and Wang Shouren was very worried. There happened to be two eunuchs from the capital who came to Zhejiang, and Wang Shouren hosted a banquet for them in zhenhai tower. Halfway through the wine, Wang Shouren drove the others away, moved the stairs and took out two boxes of letters, all of which were evidence of their association with Wang Ning, and Wang Shouren gave them both.
The two eunuchs were deeply grateful. Thanks to the protection of the two eunuchs, Wang Shouren was never hurt. If Wang Shouren takes them hostage by letter at this time, the hatred will be deeper and the harm will be endless.
2. Surrender to Ji Wang:
Wang Ji was uninhibited when he was young. He dabbles in restaurants, teahouses and casinos every day. Wang Shouren wanted to know him for a long time, but he never had the right opportunity. So Wang Shouren ordered his disciples to practice all kinds of gambling skills every day, singing and drinking, and then secretly sent a disciple to the restaurant with Wang Ji, expressing his willingness to gamble with him.
Wang Ji smiled and said, "Can a rotten scholar gamble?" Wang Shouren's disciple said, "Our teacher gambles every day." Wang Ji was not surprised and asked to see Wang Shouren. As soon as he saw Wang Shouren, he immediately expressed his willingness to become a disciple of Wang Shouren and the founder of "Zhezhong School" among the seven schools of Wangmen.
