From "Dragon Field Heavenly Signs", selected from Wang Shouren's Book of Wang Wen's Success in Ming Dynasty, Volume 25.
The original sentence is: "Therefore, it is not more expensive than no fault, but more expensive than being able to correct it."
Excerpt from the original:
If a person is too arrogant, it will inevitably be arrogant, but it will not kill him, because he can change. Therefore, innocence is not expensive, but it is expensive to correct it. Students think for themselves, and there are also practitioners who lack integrity on weekdays. Some are thinner than filial piety, and some are caught in the habit of sly stealing. Not all life is so dangerous. Unfortunately, if there is, it is all done by mistake without knowing it, and there is no teaching rule for teachers and friends.
Translation:
Speaking of mistakes, although the Great Sage is not completely absent, it does not prevent him from finally becoming the Great Sage, because he can correct it. Therefore, to be a man is not to have no mistakes, but to be able to correct them. Students, think for yourself, is there a lack of honesty and trustworthiness in daily life? Is there any reason to despise filial friendship and develop the habit of cunning, treacherous and despicable? Students, I'm afraid it won't be like this. Unfortunately, or this situation, because he can't know himself, he makes mistakes, and there are no teachers and friends to explain his studies regularly on weekdays.

Inherit Lu Jiuyuan's thought that "mind is reason" and oppose Cheng Yi and Zhu's method of seeking "reason" with things.

In the relationship between knowledge and action, it is emphasized that knowledge is more important than action, and there are actions in knowledge and knowledge in action. The so-called "integration of knowledge and practice" is inseparable from the two. Knowledge must be manifested in behavior, if not, it can't be regarded as real knowledge.
