Wife is the heart of heaven and earth, and everything in heaven and earth is also one of self-nature. The sufferings of the people are poisonous, which one doesn't hit my pain? I don't know my illness, and I have no heart for right and wrong. The heart of right and wrong, knowing without worrying, learning without learning. The so-called conscience is also.
From the Complete Works of Wang Yangming in Ming Dynasty.
Extended data:
Wang Shouren's theory "Wang Xue" is the most influential philosophical thought in Ming Dynasty. His academic thoughts spread to China, Japan, Korean Peninsula and Southeast Asia, and his achievements were the best in the next generation. There are so many disciples that they are called Yaojiang School.
Yangming school, also known as Wang Xue and Xue Xin, as a school of Confucianism, can be traced back to Mencius at the earliest, and it is a kind of Confucianism developed in Wang Shouren.
Judging from Wang Shouren's life experience, he was obviously influenced by Taoism more than Buddhism, but he could not do without the essence of Confucianism. Wang Shouren inherited Lu Jiuyuan's thought that "mind is reason" and opposed Cheng Yi and Zhu's method of "seeking truth from things". Because things are endless and tiring, he advocates "seeking conscience".
Looking for "reason" from one's own heart, "reason" lies in one's own heart, "reason" transforms everything in the universe, and man grasps its delicacy, so he grasps its essence. 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.
