Chapter 90: Practice

People's hearts can know the good and evil of their behavior, and they can also consciously do good. This is the "knowledge" of the heart, which is the development of Cheng Hao's thought. There is a lot of discussion about the "virtual consciousness" of people's hearts in the Biography. In order to fully and correctly grasp Wang Shouren's "irrational" and other doctrines, it is necessary to study his discussions in depth. Because the essence of people's hearts is reason, and people can be aware of this moral consciousness, people do not need to understand the principle of the heart through external things. The reason of external things is only the expression of people's hearts. Gezhi's time is not to know foreign things, but to remove the selfish desire of his heart. The awareness of people's hearts is discussed in Cheng Hao and Zhu Xi. Readers should understand the connection and difference between Wang Shouren and them when reading the Biography. It should be admitted that these thoughts above have indeed made an ontological explanation for the goodness of human nature and have historical significance. But it must also be noted that his doctrine does not study enough about the causes of human evil. Although his doctrine also had an influence among the lower classes of the Ming Dynasty, it cannot be said that it is more general. Wang Shouren has also noticed that people with "root" and "bright root" should be treated differently, but his thoughts are only suitable for people with root. Later generations criticized him for being "near Zen" here. This is also why he is not as good as Zhu Xue. Wang Shouren's bias began to attract the attention of modern scholars, but among contemporary Neo-Confucians, others except Liang Shuming have not paid enough attention to it. Biography is Wang Shouren's collection of Q&A quotations and academic letters. It is a concise and representative philosophical work of Confucianism. It not only comprehensively expounds Wang Shouren's thoughts, but also reflects his dialectical teaching methods, as well as the lively, good at using and often leading language art. Biography includes all the important views of Wang Xue. The previous volume expounds the views of the unity of knowledge and action, the mind is reason, the reason outside the heart, the nothing outside the heart, the meaning is the thing, and the character is the sincerity of the kung fu, emphasizing that the saint's learning is the study of body and mind, and the key lies in the implementation of understanding, and must not regard it as pure knowledge, but only talk about it between words and ears. There are eight letters in the middle volume. In addition to answering the difficulties of the unity of knowledge and action, he also talked about the fundamental content, meaning and good intentions of Wang Xue's creation. While explaining the general idea of Wang Xue, he also wonderfully explained Wang Xue's purpose. He answered their doubts about ontology and pointed out the specific situation of each person. There are also two short articles explaining Wang Shouren's educational thoughts. The main content of the next volume is to reach conscience. Wang Shouren combined his sophisticated cultivation kung fu and put forward the view that the ontology kung fu is integrated, and the streets are saints. Especially eye-catching is the four-sentence teaching, which makes Wang Xue's system complete.

Biography.

Some people have suggested that this book should be burned immediately after reading it. But only if you understand.

In fact, most of the experts and scholars who study Wang Shouren are anti-Wang Shouren. After understanding this sentence, you will understand Wang Shouren. It's very simple. Mind learning is the study of physical and mental practice, not the study of learning words. No one will think that you are great because you will recite Newton's three laws. Similarly, knowing the mind is not something to show off, and it is a valuable thing for more people to benefit from the mind.

"The study of saints is the study of body and mind. The key lies in the understanding and implementation. We must not regard it as pure knowledge, but only talk about it between words and ears."

This is the difference between mind and other knowledge. It is said that there may not be a need to write a book to solve the most practical problems and become a tool for people who are interested in making achievements to settle down. This is Wang Shouren's original intention to create mental studies. Everyone has the unity of knowledge and action, and the problem is solved, and there is no need for this book to exist. This is a kind of sadness, but this sadness will soon be confirmed again in Wang Shouren's pacified Southern Jiangxi Rebellion.

Five hundred years ago, Wang Shouren no longer hesitated. With a mature theory of the unity of knowledge and action, he first convinced himself that it was not our people to rob families and destroy the world!

In the first month of the 13th year of Zhengde, Wang Shouren went to Ganzhou.

From Nanchang to Ganzhou, there are waterways all the way. Wang Shouren calculated all the way in the cabin and took out the official's * repeatedly, especially the sentence "In response to local thieves, military horse money and grain matters, small, small, self-drawing, large, please make a determination" for a long time. Although Wang Tingsang has a lot of ideological inconsistencies with himself, one thing is the same, which can be said that there is no difference, that is, for the world and such a situation in the world, if you ask anyone with some ambition, how can he not support a spirit that I want to turn the world. In fact, according to this, Chi Zhongrong is also an upright figure. It's just... Wang Shouren sighed slightly when he thought of this place. Unexpectedly, although he had not seen him with his own eyes, this person was still deeply imprinted in his heart. "Golden Dragon Overlord"? Humph! Wang Shouren smiled and thought that this person's name was so straightforward. If you want to be the king of Western Chu, you also need to have this ability and heroic spirit. Wang Shouren thought that this man, Chi Zhongrong, was indeed a hero, but... he thought like this, compared with Xiang Yu... But he was a little witch.

Wang Shouren thought so. He led the army to suppress the rebellion, and whether he succeeded or not was secondary. The most subtle and most important thing was to deal with the relationship with the central government. Outside, it is difficult not to be suspected of being hindered. From the fable of three people becoming tigers, such records in history books are endless.

In my meditation, his boat has slowly tried Wan'an, Wan'an Wan'an, Wan'an, and everything is fine for the time being. I hope it will be so safe and smooth in the future.

However, Wang Shouren suddenly thought that the panic beach in the sentence "Fear of the beach and sigh Lingding in Lingdingyang" that made Wen Tianxiang famous and sweaty was in Wan'an.

The beach is the most dangerous section of the Ganjiang waterway, and the boat passes through here, and there is no fear.

This time was the period of the end of the Ganjiang River. Wang Shouren's boat slowly went up in the river. Suddenly, many merchant ships on the river in front of him were moored. I don't know why. Wang Shouren saw it in his eyes, and his heart also thumped.

At this time, Wang Shouren ordered the helmsman to lean the boat up and send people to inquire. Only then did he know that hundreds of new thieves near the panic beach in front of him wanted to fight, beat, fight, and rob.

Wang Shouren laughed dumbly: Ten years of grinding a sword, the frost blade has never been tried. After studying the art of war for many years, I didn't expect that there would be so many battles. Today, I was on the front line for the first time. Unexpectedly, it was such a group of little thieves as an opponent. I want to test this small pile of thieves.

Hundreds of thieves are few, but how many people do you have? Wang Shouren clearly knew that his boat was not big, and naturally he was not a person who liked to show off and make a big deal.

I'm really sorry for everyone. There are about 30 people on this ship in total.

But it doesn't matter. The characteristic of military tactics is to win more with less and pretend to be a pig to eat tigers. So, now, let's see how Wang Shouren retreats from the enemy.

Wang Shouren made people raise the tooth flag of the governor of southern Jiangxi, gathered the merchant ships together, and asked the merchants to hide the things with the shop logo and disguise the merchant ships as military ships. He also sent more than 30 of his military schools ashore to accompany each other from afar.

After the arrangement is properly arranged, line up, wave the flag and shout, and move forward.

Wang Shouren stood in the bow of the boat and occupied Li Bai's poem "The long wind will break the waves and sometimes hang straight on the clouds and sails to help the sea". I'm so proud!

The location of the accident arrived in an instant. However, it was quite unprofessional to see a row of trees cutting off the river, and a group of ragged and thin thieves on the shore shouting and threatening the blocked ships.

These amateur robbers were shocked when they saw the banners led by Wang Shouren and the powerful fleet. They were about to disperse, but they had been blocked by the military academy on the shore. The thief had no way to escape, so he knelt down on the shore. The leader said loudly to Wang Shouren's boat, "We are all hungry people everywhere in Wan'an. The land has been disaster, and the government can't provide relief. We have no choice but to make this best. I hope you will have mercy!"

Needless to say, Wang Shouren has already guessed * points. * In the years, even God is a little bad. At this time, he also likes to check the bar. In fact, it is to make the people not eat. Wang Shouren knew in his heart that like watching the fire, these people in Wan'an were forced to become robbers. They were still very different from the "Golden Dragon Overlord", because the "Golden Dragon Overlord" was naturally the way of Wang Ba, and they just wanted to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, Wang Shouren ordered people to announce to the thieves: "The hospital has known all the details of the disaster, and there must be a proper way to provide relief. Since you are the people of the country, you should try your best to save yourself and should not do this road robbery. It should be noted that there is a national law. Once arrested and interrogated, where will parents and wives be placed? Nian Er and others in our hospital were forced by hunger and cold, and they were first offenders, so they did not investigate, so they went back to their homes to make a living and wait for the government to settle down.

This group of thieves were already organized and undisciplined. They were bold and robbed some belongings. They were timid, but they picked up some coarse cloth and linen clothes left by others. Moreover, these people have never seen anything in the world. When they get together for drinking, they will scold the officials at the county level. Anyone who has a chance to see the magistrate when the ancestral grave has a chance to come back can brag for several days. This time, they collectively met the newly appointed provincial party secretary Wang Shouren. The thieves had already scared the six gods and did not think about it. When they heard that they were not to blame for the past, they left their belongings one after another and dispersed.

Seeing that Wang Shouren, who had just had a fierce temperament, saw such a person leaving like this, he could only laugh dumbly and couldn't say anything. He immediately ordered the boatman to sail without wasting time.
