Self-ordering

Gewu is righteous to conscience, looking at the silk, deciding madness, dragon field enlightenment, God is alive and enlightening true thinking.

Three learning and four skills are strange, Mount Tai moves, raise this foolishness, but it's a pity to say it, Shouren is a bit of a sex fan.

This heart is bright and clear, knowing and doing, and this is one.

As the author of this book, I would like to make three points:

The first point is my different perception of Wang Yangming:

I think that Wang Yangming is not only the only ancient Mahatma in Chinese history who has opened up the eight veins of Chinese culture, but also the all-round champion of Chinese culture. From his friend Zhan Ganquan's discussion of the "five drowning and three changes", it is enough to witness that he has a profound empirical evidence of Chinese Taoism and Buddhism.

Philosophically, he created Yangming Xinxue and developed into nine schools, which have been inherited not only in China, but also in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States.

In terms of literature, "Guwen Guan Zhi" adopts six articles of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Yangming alone occupies three articles, which can be regarded as a generation of literary masters.

In military affairs, he has the so-called "four merits": the bandits in the four provinces, the rebellion of the king of Pingning, the rebellion of the Yao people in Pingliangguang, and the rebellion of the Bazhai in Datengxia, with outstanding martial arts, and his freewheeling military ability is respected by many military masters in the world.

As an educator, he initiated the lecture society movement, which lasted for 100 years, with more than 30,000 scholars involved, and its influence spread to Japan and Southeast Asia.

In addition, he is also a calligrapher, so omnipotent, in China and even in the world, he can be said to be "one person through the ages". And I think of him as the "Holy Maja of the Ages", "Sheng" refers to the Confucian generation of spiritual masters, who was determined to be a saint at the age of 12 and passed on as a good story for the ages; And "Xiong" refers to his literary talent and martial arts.

Therefore, in today's history, when we talk about Wang Yangming, we should have a broader mind, not only based on Confucianism, but should systematically look at what he has learned and cultivated. This point is precisely in view of the key to General Secretary Xi Jinping's "cultural self-confidence and cultural self-improvement".

As a representative work of Yangming Xinxue, "Yangming Biography and Study", it carries great philosophical ideas including "Yangming Three Studies" and "Yangming Four Sentences" and inherits them to the world.

The second point I would like to talk about the idea of this series of books:

The two books that are now being launched are "Enlightenment" and "Doing the Way".

Wang Yangming's "Great Enlightenment in the Dragon Field" is not only a major event in the history of Chinese philosophy, but also a major event in the history of world philosophy.

In today's gorgeous online world, people are actually becoming more and more impetuous, and they urgently need to have a systematic cognition and in-depth thinking about life, which is where the opportunity for enlightenment lies.

As the saying goes, "Sleepy and enlightened, broad and wide-minded", when we have experienced many ups and downs in life, but seek to get some insights in our hearts, and then widely practice their ideas, and make contributions.

This series of books uses "Longchang Dawu" as a time dividing point, and "Enlightenment" is developed in the first person with six periods of reflection, which covers many knowledge points of Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and esoteric science.

"Enlightenment" takes the opportunity of the Japanese monk Guiwu and Wang Yangming as the starting point, this event is real, and it is also the opportunity for Yangming Mind to enter Japan. Only the ten-year-old Yangming Jinshan Temple and the first acquaintance of the Nunnery Guiwu are fictional, but looking at his poems seems to be enlightening the people who practice Zen, which is indeed very subtle.

"Xingdao" is completely full of Wang Yangming's mental curiosity, for the ancient art of war, especially the wonderful exhibition of formations, is also a bold attempt, in line with the principle of "true seven virtual three", the basic characters and events are true, but some stories, according to the perspective of historical fiction fiction, but also have their possibility, rather than force.

The third point I would like to talk about my personal growth journey:

Since 1988, I have studied Chinese studies, from the Book of Changes to Taoism and Buddhism

, to Confucianism, to worship famous teachers, to read the classics, I from the perspective of genres, divided into sections for a long-term methodical and systematic combing and study.

Coincidentally, there are some points in time that coincide with Mr. Yang Ming, which can be said to be a kind of fate, such as Mr. Yang Ming at the age of 26 to read through the Chinese military book, I was 26 years old to read through the Siku military book, Mr. Yang Ming was 38 years old in Guizhou Longchang Dawu, I was 38 years old and also devoted myself to five years to write ten books of more than 180 thousand words, and carried out a systematic training of the early learning. In a trance, he also experienced Mr. Yang Ming's enlightenment experience, and wrote a book "Xin Tan Biography Record", and since then he has been interested in writing Mr. Yang Ming's historical and legendary novels.

At the time of writing the book, the author and his friends went to the places where Mr. Yangming's life was experienced, such as the three major Yangming caves, Wuyi Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Mount Tai, Maoshan Mountain, etc., among which there were many mysterious spiritual experiences that impressed the friends who accompanied him, and they were also developed in the book.

The two books of "Enlightenment" and "Doing the Way" of the Eternal Sage Wang Yangming have met with you! In the future, I will also complete the book "Hongdao", which is a knot in my heart and a dream of mine.

Many of the ideas in this book are the author's years of inner cultivation, which can be tasted by many readers.

I hope that the publication of this book can inspire many lovers of Chinese culture in their studies; It is helpful to establish the academic values of "righteousness, sincerity, equality, and determination" in the major department of Chinese studies; The so-called "righteousness, sincerity, equality, and determination" means that in the study, we must have the heart of "respecting the saint", the meaning of "equality", and the "cultural self-confidence and national self-confidence".
