Chapter 445: Catalyzed Dragon Field Enlightenment

Liu Daxia is really practicing "bad things", and every issue of Huaxia Daily has not been left behind, and even "How Steel is Made" has a collection.

Wang Yangming stayed in Huarong for three days, during which time he talked with Liu Daxia many times and with his disciples many times.

He deepened his understanding of the affairs of the Empire a lot, and also visited some objects of the Zombies at Liu Daxia's home.

He was amazed by the man-made agricultural machinery, and even more so by the porcelain made by the people.

And the more I know, the clearer the image of the Huang people becomes, and Wang Yangming has some faint admiration for the Huang people.

I feel that the people of Huang were able to defeat the Ming Dynasty, not only because of barbarism, but because of their knowledge of compliance.

At this moment, Wang Yangming believes that the people also have heavenly principles, and their attitude towards heavenly principles is beyond the reach of their scholars.

The reason why the people study the principles of heaven is to practice the principles of heaven, which makes Wang Yangming quite emotional.

……

After going on the road again, Wang Yangming was hurrying while reading the newspaper of the black people.

He attaches the most importance to the theoretical articles of each month, and often ponders them for days at a time.

At first, he thought that the writing was vulgar, but after reading through it several times, he was often amazed by this concise and popular style.

Ten days later, Wang Yangming encountered the difficult doubts of reading through "Yan Zheng's Philosophy" for the first time.

This is a series of articles that belong to the section "The Connections and Developments of the World", which deals in detail with the general connections and movement developments of the world.

These theoretical articles made Wang Yangming fall into hard thought, because after the sublimation of Yan Zheng, these articles redefined the relationship between heaven, earth and man.

The core of it is that "there is no reason for things to be isolated", and the relationship between heaven, earth and man is not immutable, everything changes with the change of time, place and conditions.

Therefore, if you want to get some imaginary results, you must formulate the most suitable plan according to the conditions.

At this point, Confucianism is not mentioned in the whole article, but a closer look reveals that the article denies Confucian teachings and self-denial.

This is because personal morality is not one of the main conditions for change in the objective environment.

At the same time, he profoundly pointed out that everything in the world that people are facing is always in the process of universal connection and movement development, and all kinds of connections are intertwined to form the world picture in front of us, and the universal connection of things will definitely lead to the development of the movement of things, because as long as time is flowing, there is no eternal thing.

These theories seem to be very simple, but in fact they are the unity of world outlook and methodology, and are the general viewpoint and general characteristics of materialist dialectics.

To admit these theories is to admit that things are developing, and that the truth of today may no longer be applicable tomorrow.

This made Wang Yangming a little at a loss, feeling that this dark truth was too absolute.

If he has the opportunity, he would like to find this Yan Zheng to debate the scriptures, and he will discuss this issue.

It's just that this series of articles has opened up an idea for Wang Yangming.

He let go of his doubts and continued to look down.

The next is "The Materiality of the World", which begins by assuming that the world is material, objective reality, and that human consciousness is the highest product of the development of the material world, a subjective reflection of the objective world in the human brain, and can have an active reaction to the objective world.

Wang Yangming's doubts increased, he accepted the values of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and naturally did not dare to agree with these crooked theories.

But the more he looked down, the more doubts he had, especially after reading "Theory of Knowledge" and "Theory of Practice", Wang Yangming only felt a breath of stuffiness in his chest.

His mind was in a mess!

He hurriedly took out the books of the sages and looked at them, trying to get rid of the influence of these fallacies.

But it's like a mess being cut through it, and it seems to be neat, but in fact, a lot of threads spread out from the fracture.

Unable to read the sage books anymore, Wang Yangming began to meditate and participate in meditation, deliberately admiring the scenery on the way, and extracting his thoughts from the knowledge of the people.

……

Half a month later, Wang Yangming arrived at Longchangyi.

His face was expressionless, and the rush of the journey finally calmed his mind, and the meditation along the way also made him more transparent.

At this moment, when he came to Longchang, looking at the post station that had been flooded by weeds, and looking at the house that was no longer inhabitable, Wang Yangming smiled indifferently and said: "Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin." ”

After finishing speaking, he took two long entourages and began to clean up the weeds.

Boom, the weather in Guizhou is changeable, and the sky that was still clear just now became dark clouds in an instant.

Wang Yangming wanted to find a family to take shelter from the rain, but found that there were mountains all around, and there was no shadow of a single family.

The heavy rain fell, and the three masters and servants soon became chickens in the soup.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to find a cave near Longchangyi to shelter from the rain.

The three of them came to the cave, where there was no firewood to make a fire, and there was no way to collect firewood, so they could only change out of their soaked clothes and look at the rain with blank eyes.

Wang Yangming began to meditate again, and the thunder outside the cave was rolling, and he was calm.

Like the intersection of heaven and man, in his thoughts, he had a confrontation with the man named Yan Zheng.

This confrontation of thoughts has lasted for almost ten days, and after Wang Yangming can control his mind, he will participate in Zen and engage in academic debate with Yan Zheng every day.

"The Materiality of the World", "Theory of Practice", "Theory of Epistemology", "The Connection and Development of the World", and "The Theory of Contradiction" have already been memorized and read through by heart, and at this moment in his heart, he began to refute them one by one.

However, after more than ten days of argumentation, Wang Yangming only felt that this black man's knowledge was self-contained, incomparably hard and thick, and he could justify himself before and after.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, specific problems are analyzed concretely, and things are always in the process of change and development......"

"Quantitative and qualitative changes, contradictions are universal, and the essence of practice is ......"

"Practice...... Practice is a unique way of being...... It is the material activity of man to actively transform the world in order to solve the contradiction between his own needs and the external world......"

"Establishment of the purpose of the practice...... The subject acts on the object through an intermediary or means...... Test and evaluation of practice results......"

Hum - Wang Yangming sweated profusely, and his face turned a little red.

As if in a dream, he suddenly recalled that he was holding the bamboo "Gewu" many years ago, and he thought hard about the bamboo for seven days and seven nights, but he didn't get anything, but he was seriously ill.

Gewu ...... Practice...... Gewu ...... Practice......

Boom, there was a thunder outside the cave, illuminating the cave brightly.

Wang Yangming started with practice, referred to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and redefined Zhu Xi's doctrine, and suddenly felt that everything seemed to make sense!

"Boom!"

The lightning flashed and thundered, as if it were daylight, and the fire of thought also rubbed sparks in the small cave of Longchangyi.

When Wang Yangming changed his way of thinking and used "Theory of Practice" to refer to his previous knowledge, all kinds of inaccessible places suddenly became clear at this moment.

He smiled and his face returned to normal.

Gewu, enlightenment, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world, this is the path to sanctification given by Zhu Xi.

The beginning of the eight articles, namely "Gewu" and "Enlightenment". If the beginning is wrong, then the first step is wrong.

Wang Yangming was holding the bamboo and thinking hard to no avail, and then he had questions about Zhu Xi's knowledge

According to Zhu Xi's meaning, Gewu is to seek truth in things, that is, "heavenly principles", and Zhizhi is to constantly expand the "knowledge" of things in the heart.

Therefore, Zhu Xi asked those who want to practice the way of the sage to study and understand the scriptures written by the sage word by word, understand it well, and then practice it in order to reach the realm of the sage.

After familiarizing himself with the theory of practice, Wang Yangming suddenly became enlightened and felt that it was necessary to combine "knowledge" and "action".

Knowledge is the beginning of action, action is the completion of knowledge, true knowledge and ability cannot be separated, true knowledge must be able to do, and ability must be knowledge!

After thinking of this, Wang Yangming's heart suddenly disappeared.

The understanding of the saint must be done in the concrete things that the saint said, and not through reading!

If you think you understand "knowing", but you still can't put it into practice, you don't really understand.

The reason for this is that the heart is full of selfish thoughts, that is, qi and things.

Wang Yangming opened his eyes violently, couldn't help but let out a long howl, and said loudly: "The way of the sage, I am self-sufficient, and those who seek reason from it are also mistaken!" ”

He found the newspaper of the Huang Ren and read the "Yan Zheng Philosophy" of the Huang Ren again, and he knew in his heart that the problem that had plagued him for more than 20 years had finally been solved.

The feeling of sudden enlightenment is excellent, and the feeling of insight into the avenue is light.

Chaowen said, death at night is enough!

When Wang Yangming looked at the knowledge of the people again, he could no longer mess with his heart, at this moment he only felt that the knowledge of the people of the people was in line with the avenue, and the knowledge of the saints could go the same way!

………

On the occasion of the spring and summer of the second year of Zhengde, Wang Yangming enlightened the Tao in the dragon field!

Since the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Qin Dynasty became a pair of contradictions, Yan Zheng could not prevent the influence of the two sides on each other.

Under the intensification of Yan Zheng's philosophy, Wang Yangming's dragon field enlightenment was ahead of schedule, and he didn't know what kind of bug would be stuck.
