When you do not see this flower, this flower and Ru belong to the same silence; when you see this flower, the color of this flower is instantly understood.
-- Wang Yangming
Wang Yangming, from Yuyao, Zhejiang Province. In his later years, The Yangming cave in huiji mountain was located in the southeast of yuecheng, where the building room was built and the Self-numbered Yangming son was called by scholars Mr Yangming. Wang Yangming inherited Lu jiuyuan's "Learning" Thought and carried forward it to become a bright pearl in the history of Chinese philosophy. His masterpiece is a "Xi Shu" based on his quotations and academic books
Wang Yangming inherited the psychological traditions of Cheng Yu and Lu jiuyuan, and further criticized Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism on the basis of Lu jiuyuan. The ideas in the biography clearly express these positions and opinions. Wang Yangming criticized Zhu Xi's cultivation methods by seeking out the truth from the outside and seeking out the good of the outside. Wang Yangming believes that "perfection is the body of the Heart", "the heart is also the truth, this heart has no private desire, that is, heaven, no need to add a score ." His interpretation of the university is quite different from that of Zhu Xi. Zhu believes that "thing-wise" in "university" requires students to understand external things and ultimately realize the "all-purpose" of the people ". Wang Yangming believes that the "Grid" of "things" is "the correctness of the mind, and the correctness of the whole body ". "The ontology of meaning is knowledge, and the meaning is thing ". "Zhi" is the root of the hearts of the people, not the knowledge of external things. This knowledge is "conscience ". He said: "The so-called zhigethings bring my conscience to things. The conscience of my heart is the so-called tianli. To my heart and conscience, everything is justified by God and things. To the conscience of my heart, to the knowledge ."
The above sentenceFamous sayingThis is from the resume. It is said that once Wang Yangming and his friends visited the South town, his friends pointed to the flowers tree in the rock and asked: "What is the matter of my heart ?" Wang Yangming replied: "When you did not see this flower, this flower and Ru belong to the same silence; when you both look at this flower, the color of this flower is instantly understood, you will know that this flower is not out of your mind."
Yu Qiuyu, a prose writer, wrote in the preface to Wang Yangming's book set: "If we want to minimize the number of great philosophers in the history of China, Wang Yanming's name must be indispensable. Because of his superb philosophical thinking, policy, and conciseness, and his twists and turns, uniqueness, and wealth in his life, his popularity in the Chinese cultural field is unmatched by many philosophers. "The ancient Chinese philosophy has evolved to the Song and Ming Dynasties, and has formed a peak. It has reached a higher level than the theoretical debate of the ancient Chinese and Tang Dynasties, the Study of Yangming is the last peak of Chinese Confucianism and has become the forerunner of the recent enlightenment. Liang Qichao called Wang Yangming "A Hero" because he stood up with great courage and stood up with the power of "mind as truth, with the theory of "integration of knowledge and practice", the authors of these statements are revealed. In his new words, for the society at that time, "just like taking a pill, it's excited ".
Wang Yangming's point of view is like the one mentioned above-that is, being perceived. When you see the flowers, you will feel the flowers exist. If you don't see the flowers, you will not feel them. However, there is a difference between the two people: Berkeley uses the famous saying "exist is perceived" to solve the cognitive problem. In the end, in order to ensure the existence of things, berkeley had to move out of God to ensure the presence of external things. Different from Wang Yangming, his "No things out of the heart" refers to the significance problem, which is similar to the "meaning of the world outside the world" of vitegenstan. That is to say, "No thing in the heart" refers to the source of the meaning of the heart, not the "conscience". Although the external world is colorful, it is meaningless to me. When you haven't seen the beautiful girl, the person in your heart does not exist. Only when you see her will the beauty appear in front of you, it makes sense for you. The conscience lies in our own heart. Like the dragon farm, when you do not see the dragon farm, the world is only a small circle around you. When you come to the mountains and nature, the heart will become as broad as nature, so that you can see more truth.
