I. Introduction
Wang Shouren (1472~ 1528) was the most famous philosopher, educator, strategist and writer in China in the Ming Dynasty.
Boanzi, from Yuyao, Zhejiang.
Since his name is Yang, the world is called Mr. Yang Ming.
Second, life.
Wang Shouren was born in Chenghua, Ming Xianzong for eight years. 1 1 I grew up under the guidance of my grandfather Wang Lun years ago. Later, he went to Beijing with his father Wang Hua. He was once keen on riding and shooting, and later studied the art of war. 18 years old, he visited Lou Liang (1422 ~ 149 1) on his way back to Yuyao, and Lou Liang introduced Zhu's personality theory and the idea that saints can learn, which inspired him a lot. At the age of 2 1, he took part in the rural entrance examination and read through Zhu's works. At the age of 28, he was a scholar, worked in the Ministry of Industry, and later served as the director of the Yunnan Qing official department of the Ministry of Punishment.
In the year of Zheng Deyuan (1506), eunuch Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne, and eunuch Liu Jin took power. For resisting Dai and others, he called Liu and others traitors, and was later imprisoned by Liu Jin, and was soon demoted to Longchang, Guizhou. In three years, he had an important ideological change, thinking that the sage's way is self-sufficient, so he broke through Zhu's theory of knowing things and thought that reason is human psychology, and founded Longgang Academy in the local area.
Third, philosophical thought.
It is opposite to Zhu in many important points of view. Zhu divided The University into biographies, supplemented by biographies of knowledge and knowledge. Wang Shouren believes that there are no classics to be divided and no classics to be supplemented. Zhu attached great importance to "grasping things and knowing knowledge" and put it before "sincerity"; Wang Shouren believes that the cause is based on sincerity, and it is based on sincerity. Zhu divides mind and reason into two parts, and separates knowledge from practice; Wang Shouren advocates the unity of mind and reason, and the unity of knowledge and action. Zhu's attitude towards things is poor, he pays attention to the external theory of one thing and one theory, and requires careful attention to every word of the classics; However, he thinks that Zhu's method is to leave something, to be knowledgeable, and to be less detailed. He takes things as the right heart and demands the role of conscience. Conscience is the standard of judging things and the basis of interpreting classics. Although they all oppose the vanity of Buddhism and Taoism and the utilitarianism of businessmen, they think that Zhu's thoughts are trivial and scattered, which is not enough to refute Buddhism and Taoism. Wang Shouren's thought is close to Lu Jiuyuan's. They all emphasize the unity of mind and reason in their basic viewpoints and require simplicity and directness in their methods, but Wang Shouren's thoughts are not the direct inheritance of Lu Jiuyuan. His theory of knowledge, the unity of knowledge and action, and the theory of conscience are both opposite to Zhu's thought and different from Lu Jiuyuan's theory.

Brief introduction of Wang Shouren's life
Wang Shouren was a famous thinker and writer in Ming Dynasty. He is a master of psychology and is of great significance in history. The following is a brief introduction of Wang Shouren's life I collected, hoping to help you.
Brief introduction of Wang Shouren's life
Wang Shouren was born in a wealthy and prominent family. Before Wang Shouren was born, his grandmother had a very auspicious dream, which meant that Wang Shouren would make great achievements in his life. Superior family conditions provide Wang Shouren with good study opportunities. In addition, Wang Shouren was smart since childhood and had a high opinion of literature.
At the age of twenty-seven, Wang Shouren took part in the imperial examination, won the Jinshi in one fell swoop, and became an official in North Korea. In his official career, Wang Shouren put forward the philosophical thought of "nothing outside the heart, unreasonable outside the heart", which had a far-reaching influence in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Wang Shouren's psychology was introduced to Southeast Asia, Korean Peninsula and other places, and produced a large number of followers.
It is said that on Wang Shouren's wedding day, no one could find him. Later, when asked why, he realized that Wang Shouren was attracted by Taoist meditation while roaming, so he went to ask for Taoist advice. They had a good talk. Wang Shouren meditated with the Taoist until he lost track of time. It was not until the next day that the family found Wang Shouren. From this short story, we can see that Wang Shouren is very interested in philosophy. Later, Wang Shouren also put forward his own views on "learning from others".
After Wang Shouren entered the officialdom, he was dissatisfied with the eunuch Liu Jin's ruling and wrote a letter of impeachment, which was retaliated by Liu Jin. Wang Shouren was not only punished by his employees, but also demoted. On the way to being demoted, Liu Jin sent someone to kill Wang Shouren, and Wang Shouren pretended to commit suicide to escape the pursuit. Encouraged by his father, Wang Shouren continued his career. When he arrived in Longchang, Guizhou, he educated the local people with truth and was respected and loved. Slowly, Wang Shouren had a new understanding of thought. After continuous exploration, Wang Shouren put forward the philosophy of mind.
What is Wang Shouren's thought?
Wang Shouren, known as Mr. Yangming and Mr. Wang Wencheng by later generations, further integrated and developed the previous theories on the theory of mind and nature, and combined the essence of Zen to produce a more detailed and complete theory of mind and nature than the first two. This theory exists relative to Zhu's Neo-Confucianism.
The central idea of Wang Shouren's theory of mind and nature is "to conscience" and "the unity of knowledge and action". "To conscience" means that a person can follow his own inner moral standards without being surprised. "Conscience" refers not only to one's inner thoughts and morality, but also to justice. Wang Shouren believes that everyone has a conscience and reason exists in everyone's heart. "Unity of knowledge and action" means that knowledge and action are interdependent and inseparable. "Knowledge" refers to cognition, knowing good and evil, and knowing everything. "Doing" means that a person keeps good and eliminates evil on the basis of "knowing". To put it simply, if a person has an inner understanding of the good and evil of something, then he will follow his inner understanding and put it into action. If a person doesn't put what he knows into action, it can only show that he has not achieved what Wang Shouren called "the unity of knowing and doing". It can be seen from this aspect that knowing and doing are one, and there is knowledge in the line. And "to conscience" is the premise of "unity of knowing and doing", and "unity of knowing and doing" is the criterion of "to conscience", and the two cannot exist independently of each other.
The uniqueness of Wang Shouren's thought lies in the distinction between knowing and doing. He thinks that as long as they are combined, it will be a complete existence, which is also an important factor for his thought to become one of the mainstream thoughts in the Ming Dynasty. Even in today's society, the study of mind nature still has certain reference significance for us to know ourselves.
