has had the experience of degrading Longchangyi, for Wang Yangming, there is nothing to be afraid of in this life.

After being transferred to Nanjing, Wang Yangming went back to his hometown in Yuyao and traveled with his brother-in-law and disciple Xu Ai. Then he went to Chuzhou to supervise Ma Zheng and accepted a large number of students in Chuzhou.

His father was seriously ill, and Wang Yangming went back to Nanjing to visit. When he left Chuzhou, Chuzhou's friends and disciples sent him to the riverside.

These friends and disciples were reluctant to leave, so they simply stayed on the north bank of the Yangtze River and waited for Wang Yangming to cross the river again to meet.

In addition, the director of academic affairs of Nanjing Guozijian is also Wang Yuan's personal disciple, and he has developed many downlines among the inmates. In the nine-year examination of Zhengde, there must be countless disciples of Xinxue to participate, and the Xinxue group is constantly expanding and growing.

After his father's condition improved slightly, Wang Yangming left for the north.

Those friends and disciples who were waiting by the river, there were more than a dozen people who followed left and right, and followed Wang Yangming to Linqing to control the water.

All of them are fanatics!

The charm of a person depends not only on what he says, but also on what he is doing.

Wang Yangming originally went to Chuzhou to supervise Ma Zheng, but he often gathered to give lectures, and the regular audience was more than 200 people.

If it is just a lecture, what is the difference between Wang Yangming and Shu Kunshan, who writes poems every day?

In addition to teaching, Wang Yangming also gathered more than 100 homeless families to reclaim land in the wilderness and conduct his ideal community experiments. Everyone united to help each other, maintain community security, set up community regulations, build public warehouses, and run social studies. Coupled with the fact that displaced people can be tax-exempt for three years, the community formed by Wang Yangming has grown rapidly. Historically, in less than ten years, the population of the community has more than tripled, and until the Republic of China, Wang Yangming was still worshipped.

Wang Yangming took 200 disciples from Chuzhou to study and practice at the same time, and jointly devoted themselves to community construction.

It was precisely because they witnessed the rapid development of the community and continued to approach the Confucian ideal society that those disciples believed in Wang Yangming, and more than a dozen of them followed him all year round.

These more than ten disciples, after coming to Linqing, got on the bar with Wang Yuan's disciples!

Both sides claim to be disciples of the heart, but they can't match it.

Wang Yuan usually teaches his disciples to talk less and think more, see more and do more. So, the disciples all helped to do things, and they didn't bother to argue with these Chuzhou fanatics.

The fanatical believers went directly to Wang Yuan.

These disciples were headed by Cai Zongyan, who was not from Chuzhou, but went to Chuzhou from Shaoxing to listen to classes, and later became the head of the White Deer Cave Academy. He asked: "Mr. Wang, Mr. once said that Gewu is the work of sincerity, why is your Gewu just doing experiments?" It's a bit biased! ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. also said that the work must be sharpened in things. Only sincerity, but no action, what kind of work? What kind of thing is it? Experimenting is a manifestation of 'grinding on things'. ”

"Then what sincerity do you have when you physics school conduct experiments?" Cai Zongyan asked again.

Wang Yuan explained: "Seeking truth and pragmatism is sincerity. We study physics, do not blindly follow blind faith, everything needs to be verified. We discover things, observe things, look for laws, explore the essence, learn the truth of all things through experiments, and then use physics to benefit the people. Mr. said that knowledge and action are one, and together with physics, only those who can pass experiments are true knowledge, and those who have true knowledge must do it. ”

Cai Zongyan said: "You are a prophet and a follower, not a combination of knowledge and action." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Wrong. Knowing physics through experiments is the process from doing to knowing. Experiments, on the other hand, are based on existing cognition and hypothetical cognition, and through the 'doing' of experiments, to determine true knowledge. From beginning to end, it is the unity of knowledge and action! ”

Cai Zongyan said: "If there is no experiment, can't it be called true knowledge? Mr. said that filial piety is nature, and this is true knowledge. Is filial piety also going to do experiments? ”

"I study physics, filial piety is not a thing, it is morality!" Wang Yuan said.

Cai Zongyan said: "It turns out that the physics school only studies dead things, and it has fallen into the ears of Xiaodao. What if there is a man who knows all about the truth of the dead, but is morally corrupt? ”

Wang Yuan said speechlessly: "The logistics school is a supplement to Wangmen's psychology, not to replace Wangmen's psychology. Is it true that a person can only study physics, but not the mind of a gentleman? ”

"I see, thank you for the advice." Cai Zongyan hugged his fists and thanked him.

More than a dozen psychotic fanatics led by Cai Zongyan couldn't pee in the same pot as Wang Yuan, and even looked down on the physics school. Their ultimate goal was to achieve the Confucian Datong Society, believing that the focus of the School of Physics had gone astray.

Wang Yuan didn't want to explain any more, but said: "Tomorrow the dredging ship starts working, you can come and see how the physics school benefits the people!" ”

Cai Zongyan went back to see Wang Yangming and put forward his views on the physics school, and other disciples who followed him were also there.

Listening to Cai Zongyan say a lot, Wang Yangming said with a smile: "Gewu is the work of sincerity, Mingshan is the work of sincerity, poor reason is the work of exhaustion, Taoism is the work of respecting virtue, Bowen is the work of making appointments, and Jing is the only work." You are still in the stage of half-knowing and not doing, and Wang Ruoxu is already doing it. His determination to do everything he can is sincerity; He is determined to use physics to benefit the people and do it, which is Mingshan! He wants to exhaust the reason of all things, that is, to do it to the fullest of his nature; When he kills corrupt officials, he is virtuous; He specialized in physics, which was the only way to improve. ”

Cai Zongyan was silent.

Wang Yangming said: "Although Wang Erlang's path is very different from mine, he has comprehended the essence of psychology. And you, you've only learned the surface, and you'll have to work harder in the future. Mind is not a dogma, I am not a sage, it is wrong to follow me step by step, it is right to comprehend the essence and follow your own path! ”

Cai Zongyan seemed to understand something, and immediately bowed: "Thank you, Mr. for your teachings." ”

Ji Yuanheng also went to Chuzhou from Huguang to study, and followed Wang Yangming to Linqing. He asked, "What Mr. said just now, but the only thing that was omitted from the blog post to make an appointment is because Wang Ruoxu did not obey the ceremony?" ”

"Haha!"

Wang Yangming said with a smile: "Wang Erlang is not a person who abides by etiquette, but he prefers to be the Book of Rites. The gift in his heart is a great gift in the world, not a trivial gift. He followed me to study the study of the mind, and only learned the essence, and did not care about the rest; He followed me to learn the "Book of Rites", and only learned the true meaning of etiquette, ignoring red tape. His character is such that he can't force anything. His school of physics, as I have also understood, is nothing more than 'seeing the essence through the phenomenon'. I only want the essence, not entangled with the phenomenon. ”

"See the essence through the phenomenon?" Liu Guanshi muttered, this one also went to Chuzhou from Huguang to study.

Wang Yangming nodded and said, "This is also what Wang Erlang said, I am very impressed." is like a person who is usually polite, respectful and moral, but does not emphasize morality and honesty at critical moments. Then what his essence is, we can know. Wang Erlang's school of physics regards red tape as phenomena and benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, and filial piety as the essence. Just as they inquire into the truth of all things, they only recognize the essence of all things! ”

Cai Zongyan asked again: "If you don't obey the small rites, only the big ones, how can you be right-minded?" I am used to transgressing the etiquette, and I am afraid that I will not abide by the big ceremony. Bachelor Wang may be able to insist on the great gift, can each of his disciples have such a heart and concentration? ”

Wang Yangming asked rhetorically: "Those who obey small rites, can everyone obey big rites?" Which corrupt official in the world does not read the books of sages? Can they be polite at all times? Don't look at what people say, look at what people do. The purpose of the physics school is to study the principles of heaven for the benefit of the people, as long as they can really benefit the people, why bother with the word 'li'? ”

Cai Zongyan once again gave up his hand, keeping in mind the teacher's teachings.

Wang Yangming said with a smile: "Let's see how they benefit the people tomorrow." ”
