What does the unity of knowledge and action mean?

Pinyin: zhīxínghéyī

Definition: It means that understanding the principles of things and practicing them are inseparable.

The unity of knowledge and action means that the object conforms to the subject, knowledge refers to conscience, and action refers to people's practice. The unity of knowledge and action does not mean that knowledge is used to annex action, and knowledge is considered to be action. Nor is it to annex knowledge with action, thinking that action is knowledge.

From the volume of "Zhuan Xilu" written by Wang Shouren of the Ming Dynasty: "If you only talk about one knowledge, you will already have the practice; if you only talk about one row, you will already have the knowledge. The ancients said that both Know, and also say a practitioner, just because there is a kind of person in the world who is ignorant and does whatever he wants. He has no understanding of thinking and introspection. He just acts in a dark way, so he must say that he knows, and then he can act? A certain Jin said "The unity of knowledge and action is the medicine for the disease."

"Wenhui Po" 1990.3.11: "From Xiaozhuang Normal University to Shanhai Engineering Group, Mr. Tao's consistent spirit is 'the unity of knowledge and action'." "Teaching and doing are integrated" and strive to cultivate students' ability to master knowledge as a whole. ”
