In July, my friend called, he said, so Jiao Hutian's father-in-law is sick and coughing, and many treatments have not worked, and I know the doctor, and I am willing to give it a try.

Because of the doctor's father-in-law Hutian, I saw Hutian for the first time and saw that he was good-looking, with a strong body, a strong handshake, and a good impression.

During the contact with the doctor, I learned that Hutian loves to study and is very good at reading. Whether it is heaven, earth, life, mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomical calendars, military books and war strategies, philosophy, politics, economy, culture, etc., I love and read any book. When he was young, he traveled to study Bashu, visited famous mountains and rivers, ancient temples and temples, paid homage to high monks and immortals, and learned from masters, and gradually understood the culture of the Chinese nation, which is the best culture in the world.

As sons and daughters of China, to learn and practice Chinese culture, we should "continue to learn for the sake of the saints", cultivate ourselves, work together as a family, govern the country, and level the world. Self-cultivation is the starting point of a career, and filial piety is the core of self-cultivation. The so-called Pepsi filial piety comes first, which is the truth. Hutian said that when he was away to study, sometimes in order to save money to buy books, it was common to eat only one meal a day. This conversation made me feel like I was at first sight with Hutian.

After seeing Hutian's father-in-law once, Hutian and I stayed in the tea room temporarily. I asked, today is Thursday, and it's not a day off, how do you have time to accompany the elderly to see a doctor? Hutian said: Asking a doctor for the elderly is the top priority of our family, and studies and careers can only be put on the back burner. We make other arrangements for work; Study, let your daughter take care of herself. We are going to do everything we can to find medical treatment for my old father, so that he can recover his health and live out his old age in peace. Hutian's words and deeds of filial piety are touching and impressive.

After that, every time I saw a doctor, Hutian made an appointment with me in advance, and Hutian came to pick me up at home, and my daughter accompanied my father to the consultation. After the consultation, the father and daughter went to the pharmacy to pick up the medicine, and the pot sent me home. In the past few months, the number of medical visits has reached 18, and the Hutian couple not only do not get tired and slack, but also become more thoughtful and attentive. With the many ushers and send-offs, my friendship with Hutian has deepened, and my understanding of him has increased. He also has a very in-depth study and understanding of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and is also accustomed to meditation and practice.

In addition, at the age of 26, he read through the "Siku Bingjia Series", and at the age of 38, he began to establish the school of cultivation in five years, and wrote more than 10 books for this purpose, amounting to 2 million words. The study of cultivation takes filial piety culture as the core, takes "sleepy and enlightened, broad and wide" as the main line, takes ancient sages and sages as models, and takes history and reality as the stage to explain and interpret his experience and experience.

At the follow-up visit on November 24, Hutian brought two books. After the diagnosis, the father and daughter went to pick up the medicine, and the pot took out the book and put it in front of me, one is called "The Ancient Sage Wang Yangming - Enlightenment", and the other is called "The Ancient Sage Wang Yangming - Doing the Way". Hutian said that among the ancestors of the Chinese nation, Da Shun's filial piety and Wang Xiang's filial piety made him admire the most. As the descendants of Wang Xiang and Wang Lan's brothers, Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty is more worthy of admiration and admiration for his thoughts, knowledge, morality and achievements.

He believes that as an outstanding thinker, educator, writer and military strategist, as the "first perfect person" in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wang Yangming put forward the idea of "learning from things, and the unity of knowledge and action". In terms of politics and herdsmen, Wang Yangming patrolled Southern Jiangxi, the governor of Liangguang, suppressed the bandits in four provinces, and pacified the rebellion of King Ning, which was a heroic feat. Therefore, Hutian wants to take the title of "The Holy Hero of the Ages" and write Wang Yangming's trilogy of "Enlightenment", "Doing the Dao" and "Promoting the Dao", persuading people to practice their body and mind, practice filial piety and goodness, and make a happy family and a harmonious society, which is really a great merit. Hutian said that the two books of "Enlightenment" and "Doing the Dao" have been written in samples, and "Hongdao" is being written. The first two sample books are sent to the teacher for a look, and please give comments so that they can be revised.

I took the two books "Enlightenment" and "Doing the Way" home and spent a few days reading them, and I learned a lot from them. The two books are divided into six chapters each, and each has sixty chapters, all of which narrate, object, and write scenes from the perspective of "me". The six chapters of "Enlightenment" are respectively titled "Don't Use the Hidden Dragon", "Seeing the Dragon in the Field", "The Gentleman Dry All Day Long", "Or Leaping in the Abyss", "Flying Dragon in the Sky" and "Kanglong Has Regrets", describing and outlining the trajectory of Wang Yangming's ideological changes and the formation of his mental path. Many details are described, such as the birth of Yang Ming when the Queen Mother Zheng was 14 months pregnant, and when Yang Ming was born, the sky was full of auspicious clouds and drums sounded; Another example is that when Yang Ming was ten years old, he spoke extraordinarily in Jinshan Temple and lit up the nunnery; At the age of sixteen, Gezhu realized that "one grass and one tree are all reasonable"; For example, after passing the Jinshi examination, the first errand was to repair Wang Yue's mausoleum, and unexpectedly received the sword of the military book given by the Wang family; Since then, these bizarre experiences and encounters, such as meeting talents, visiting immortals, and meeting holy monks, have not only increased the readability of the book, but also set the atmosphere and laid a solid foundation for shaping Wang Yangming's image of "the Holy Heroes of the Ages".

"Doing the Way" is a sister chapter of "Enlightenment", and it is also six chapters and sixty chapters. The first chapter describes Wang Yangming's cultivation of the academy in Guizhou and the writing of "The Legend of the Elephant Temple"; In the second chapter, Wang Yangming served in Luling, met Xu Ai, met Lu Wei, Pinghua, and captured Liu Jin; The third chapter writes about going south to Mingdao, passing Chuzhou, going down to Nanjing, surrendering generals, and Pinghami; The fourth chapter writes about the suppression of bandits in the four provinces, Funan, Jiangxi, Ting, and Zhang; Chapter 5 Strategists help each other and pacify King Ning; In the sixth chapter, it is written that the commander and the two Guangzhou, the single suppression of bandits, the attack on Bazhai, and the completion of the work. If "Enlightenment" is the roadmap of Wang Yangming's mental journey; Then "Xingdao" is the record and merit book of Mr. Yang Ming's practice of conscience, knowledge and action, and realization of ideals and ambitions.

What is commendable is that in addition to being written in the first person, these two books blend history and reality, combine truth and fiction, lay out the storyline, and unfold a magnificent picture, but also have two characteristics:

First, the author attracted and gathered many representative figures of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism around the protagonist "I", such as Wang Lun, Wang Hua, Lei Ji, Long Guang, Xu Zhang, Wang Wenyuan, Yin Jixian, Tang Yungu, Zhan Lianshi, etc., to interact with "me", share weal and woe. The appearance and activities of these characters make the "I" depicted by the author more fleshed out and real.

The second is that the author cleverly and appropriately quotes ancient and modern poems between the lines in the two books
