First of all, Wang Shouren is a military strategist. He put down the rebellion in Wang Ning, Sitian and Zhuyao, wiped out the thieves in southern Jiangxi, and gained martial arts as a civilian, so he was knighted. When Wang Shouren was young, he experienced "the change of the civil fort", and the emperor of the dynasty was captured by foreigners, which was a great shame for the country. This incident left a deep impression on Wang Shouren. From then on, Wang Shouren began to study Sun Tzu's Art of War, which became the basis of his successful counterinsurgency.
In fourteen years, King Ning Zhu rebelled, which shocked the court. However, Ministry of War Minister Wang Qiong said that Wang Shouren was in Jiangxi at this time, and he would definitely put down the rebellion. At that time, Wang Shouren was preparing to go to Fujian. After hearing the rebellion of Ning Wang, he quickly rushed back to the gap, raised volunteers, issued a campaign, and sent troops to conquer. At that time, Wang Shouren's military code had been handed over to the Ministry of War, so there was not enough military strength to deal with the rebels. But he also knew that if the rebels captured Nanjing, the rebels would take the initiative in politics and it would be more difficult to quell the rebellion. So even if there are no available soldiers, he must stop the rebels. In this case, Wang Shouren came up with a plan to ignore the soldiers. First, he pretended to be extravagant to the diligent king in Jiangxi all over the country, and posted fake posters everywhere in Nanchang to confuse Chen Hao, claiming that the court sent eighty thousand border soldiers and Beijing soldiers * * *, and he recruited one hundred and sixty thousand soldiers * *, creating the illusion that his soldiers were stronger than Ma Zhuang. Later, he reported that he would attack Nanchang, his lair, and wrote a wax book to persuade Li Shishi and Liu, the false faces of Zhu, to send troops to attack Nanjing, and at the same time leaked the news. When Li Liu suggested that he attack Nanking, Wang Ning became suspicious, and then stayed put to buy time for assembling troops.
After waiting for more than ten days, when Ning Wang learned the truth, he had assembled a lot of military forces. When Wang Ning led 60,000 troops down the Yangtze River from Jiujiang to spy on Nanjing, Wang Shouren was determined to attack Wang Ning's lair when Nanchang's troops were empty, which forced Wang Ning to Huiyuan, bash head-on, win the war and put down Wang Ning's rebellion.
Wang Shouren, a politician, has successively served as the minister of punishments in the Ming Dynasty, the magistrate of Longchang, Guizhou, the magistrate of Luling, the advisor of Youjidu, the governor of Gannan and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and in his later years, he was an official, the advisor of Nanjing Ministry of War and the advisor of Zuodu Douchayuan, all of which affirmed his achievements.
Wang Shouren's literary achievements are not low. In the eyes of ancient China people, it includes Wang Shouren's masterpieces "A Journey" and "Dragon Field Tent". Wang Shouren integrated the theory of mind and nature into calligraphy, enriching China and calligraphy theory. In addition, Wang Shouren also left his poems beginning of spring, Watching Puppet Rhyme and Zhoushan New Year's Eve. Prose includes Travel Essays and Mao Xian's Deputy. Sanqu "Hermit"; His works include The Complete Works of Wang Wencheng, also known as The Complete Works of Yang Ming.
Wang Shouren is a philosopher worthy of the name, and his "Yangming's Theory of Mind" has far-reaching influence. He is a master of mind, along with Confucius, Mencius and Zhu, the founder of Confucianism and the master of Neo-Confucianism. His philosophical works include: answering Gu Dongqiao's letters, manuals, answering friends' questions, university questions, quotations and so on.
Wang Shouren's philosophical thought is the study of mind and nature, and its main content is that "the reason of everything is nothing more than my mind, and the reason of nature is human desire". He opposed Zhu's "learning from others" and advocated "nothing outside the heart". He thought that learning was "only the teacher in the heart" and "how to plant examples, the heart is also rooted." Learning, farming, irrigation, and supporting hoes are nothing more than roots. "
He believes that "reason" lies in people's "heart", "reason" incarnates everything in the universe, and people hold its delicacy, so people hold its essence. Is this idea related to Buddhism's "wind drives evil"? Incite evil? Non-pneumatic, non-swaying, and heartbeat. "Similar.
Advocate the unity of knowledge and action. "The study of a gentleman only seeks rationality". If you know the truth, you should do it and practice it, not talk. His thoughts had a great influence on education at that time. Because the taxi class at that time was mostly people with extremely high morality but extremely low practical ability. The proposal of "integration of knowledge and practice" had a certain influence on the whole social atmosphere at that time.
