Yangming school, criticized as "idealism" in middle school, passed by in college. It's like condensing the rich and vivid history of ancient times into a label or symbol, and then cramming for the exam. Naturally, it's boring, and the days have passed for a long time with labels as a shield. Unlike Confucius, Teacher Yangming doesn't even have a chance to face the wall.
Until Zeng Guofan was hot-headed, he heard that there were "three immortals" and said that Lide made meritorious deeds. The expression "two and a half saints" also aroused curiosity. Zeng Guofan is half, and the other two are tied. One is Confucius and the other is Wang Yangming. This is obviously very different from the concept label in traditional textbooks.
Enlightenment?
Listening to Professor Dong Ping, a professor of philosophy at Zhejiang University, telling the legend of Wang Yangming, a traditional ideology and culture of China, is an introduction.
Yangming's interesting, legendary, great and meritorious life can't compare with his Yangming studies. Therefore, according to the "Three Immortals" theory, the most important contribution is Yangming's mind, otherwise there will be no complicated political history in the future Ming history, and the positive development of history can not be separated from Yangming's conscience theory, which is clearly recorded and contextualized in the Ming Dynasty and the official history.
Further study is to watch Wang Yangming's Nine Lectures (Netease Open Class Video) by Professor Dong Ping of Zhejiang University for nearly 100 times in a few years, which is the best way to learn systematically.
I once left the main line of Professor Dong Ping's research and was afraid to publish a large number of books to cope with the current "Yangming fever". After returning to Dong Ping, I studied it again, but he clearly pointed out that the lecture focused on the research field and was limited to the comparison of Chinese and Western philosophy, philosophy history, cultural perspective and even literature.
A cursory look at Professor Chen Lai's book "The Realm of Being-Wang Yangming's Philosophical Spirit" shows that we can find the above two coordinates. Together with the famous Japanese professor Takehiko Okada's "Yangming Studies and the Japanese" and "Wang Yangming Biography", we can make up a "three-dimensional coordinate", which is enough for the next cycle of 10.
Professor Chen Lai used to be a professor in the Department of Philosophy of Peking University, and now he is the president of Tsinghua University National University, the deputy director of the academic committee of the university, and the president of the Society for the History of Chinese Philosophy. Without two brushes and true knowledge, it is not good to "mix". Because there are too many dazzling names and avatars at present. Of course, the most important thing is to rely on academic works, so it is still sure enough. After reading this book again and again, I feel like this. Without accumulation, I can't calm down and I can't read. Real goods.
As far as personal research is concerned, one of the two coordinates provided in Professor Chen Lai's book "Hidden in" only accounts for about one twelfth of the conclusion of the book, that is, an overview and discussion summary of the development of Yangming's life thoughts. The front is the comparative hermeneutics of multidimensional space. In the fog, the ignorant are innocent. It's hard to study, but it's hard to get in and out. Time flies, so you can't pretend.
The reason why we say "Tibet" is because the study of Zhu Hezhe published by Mr. Deng Aimin of East China Normal University only saw his footnote. He praised Mr. Deng's article as a rare masterpiece, which made people sigh "the scene in front of them". Looking for this clue, the establishment of teacher Yang Ming's traditional ideological resources and theory, whether it is "the theory of five drowning" or "the theory of three changes", has an auxiliary analysis path. It is not artificial to argue for the "breaking theory" of Yangming's thought. Personally, I think neither is allowed.
The other coordinate is Professor Chen Lai's text. Starting from the order of self and non-self, cautious independence and harmony, reason and existence, taking Yangming as the starting point, focusing on progressive keywords, starting from the most basic philosophical granular factors such as heart and reason, heart and matter, heart and nature, knowledge and action, honesty and dignity, conscience and conscience, existence and non-existence, realm and kung fu, this paper gives a macro overview at home and abroad. It also provides clues for learning Chinese and western philosophy.
To sum up, it is the next intersection after Yang Ming studied under Professor Dong Ping from Zhejiang University. Through Professor Chen Lai, Professor Deng Aimin and Professor Okada Takehiko, he can establish three learning directions. Coupled with the "offline" road map identification of Yangming's mind and the integration of knowledge and practice, the coordinate system of future study and practice can be basically determined.
In the next decade, "external" learning experience may give you some experience. But the unity of knowing and doing in "inner" practice will benefit more, more and more brilliantly. The so-called "mind is reason" and "nothing outside the heart".
As Professor Takehiko Okada said, the West is a science of cognition and the East is a philosophy of experience. This combination point is precisely the unity of knowledge and action of teacher Yang Ming.
"The essence of knowledge is to observe what you perceive, and what you are truly honest about is knowing."
? Yangming is a teacher through the ages!
