Wang Yangming's theory of mind is one of the mainstream theories in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which later spread in Japan and had a great influence on Japan and East Asia. 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.
In the process of starting a business, your business model determines how much you can do, which is the technical level, your equity model determines how long you can do it, which is the legal level, while the moral level is the mental model, which is the unique thinking mode and anti-risk ability of entrepreneurs in the face of adversity. It can be said that the mental model is the personality charm of an entrepreneur. It is also the key to why you can lead thousands of people.
Wang Yangming's thought
The basic course of the development of Mind Theory in Ming Dynasty can be summarized as follows: Chen Xianzhang initiated, Zhan Ruoshui perfected, Wang Shouren epitomized, and Wang Shouren Yangming Mind Theory directly originated from Chen Zhan Mind Theory. Yangming's theory of mind originated from Longchang's enlightenment, and its principle of enlightenment is consistent with Chen Xianzhang's "rest clue", which has been recognized by academic circles.
The relationship between Yangming's theory of mind and Chen Zhan's theory of mind has always been different in academic circles. Mr. Zhu Weizheng said, "Chen Xianzhang is the real godfather of Wang Yangming's theory"; Guangdong is the birthplace of Wang Xue.
Wang Shouren opposed to regard Confucius and Mencius as unchangeable precepts and blindly obey feudal ethics, but emphasized individual initiative. The philosophical proposition of "to conscience" and the methodology of "unity of knowledge and action" put forward by him have the significance of breaking through the shackles of feudal thought and calling for ideological liberation and personality liberation.
