Guiyang, Longchangyi.

The weather in Guizhou at the end of winter is extremely cold, and the freezing rain falls, causing ice edges to hang between the leaves.

The roads were covered with snow for several feet, making it almost impossible for people and animals to pass, and even a small stream in the mountains was frozen in the cold.

According to records, since the Yongle period, the average temperature of the Ming Dynasty has dropped all the way, and it is a trough in the Zhengde period.

After Jiajing came to power, the temperature gradually rose, but the highest year was lower than the average lowest year of the two Song Dynasty!

This is one of the reasons why it was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to occupy the Hetao region, not only because it could not occupy the Hetao, but also because it was difficult to exert a stronger influence on the Western Regions.

Climate has always been one of the fates of agrarian feudal dynasties, and the strong Han and Tang dynasties were all periods when the climate was relatively warmer.

The warm climate is not only suitable for farming, but also for various production activities.

Wang Yangming's lecture was forced to be interrupted in this severe cold, and he himself fell ill again in the sorrowful freezing rain of Guizhou.

Fortunately, he is famous, has accepted many disciples, and has a good relationship with the local Miao people, so he has moved.

At the beginning, he lived in a small cave, and it is said that he often deduced the Book of Changes in it, so the small cave was named "Playing Yi Wo" by him.

There is also a large karst cave on Longgang Mountain, which Wang Yangming named "Yangming Small Cave Heaven".

The one he lives in now is called "He Shaoxuan", which is a few thatched houses built by the Miao people for him, and is his bedroom, study and classroom.

At this moment, the fire pit in the thatched hut was burning vigorously, and because there were no good smoke exhaust conditions, and there was no stove, so I had to open a window to smoke.

Wang Yangming was wrapped in a thick quilt, just beside the fire, flipping through some letters and books.

Since Huarong parted, he had correspondence with Liu Daxia, exchanging their knowledge and asking about some affairs.

Today, he saw a newspaper of the Huaxia Daily, which had an article called "Actively Implement the Policy of 'Abolishing the Two Reforms' to Ensure that the National Economy Will Not Appear Inflationary Risks."

This article records the issuance of silver coins by the Eastern Qin Dynasty, and Wang Yangming read it patiently and found that the silver coins may be in order to make trade more convenient.

He smiled and picked up Liu Daxia's letter again, in the past year, Liu Daxia has been very attentive and enthusiastic about Wang Yangming's knowledge.

As an old man, Liu Daxia naturally saw that Wang Mingming's reference to "Yan Zheng Philosophy" was only ingenious in that Wang Mingyang used traditional science to integrate the newly created mind science, and actually integrated some of the essence of "Yan Zheng Philosophy" into the set of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism".

It's amazing! In particular, the core of applying knowledge to the world, seeking truth from facts, applying what has been learned, helping the world and saving the people, and the core of 'the unity of knowledge and action, and the application of the world' make Liu Daxia like drinking fine wine!

He was surprised to find that Wang Yangming's set of theories could properly echo the theory of "revolution at any time."

So in the past two years, Liu Daxia has introduced Wang Yangming as a confidant.

This letter is also asking Wang Yangming to answer questions and solve doubts, and euphemistically proposed that he wants Wang Yangming to build momentum for the change of law together.

Wang Yangming sighed, put down the letter and began to think.

After a long time, he replied to the letter again, avoiding talking about the change, but he replied positively to Liu Daxia's doubts.

After two years of polishing, Wang Mingyang's thinking has been very mature, and he is no longer pursuing much in his career at the moment, and the only thing he wants is to carry forward his knowledge.

In the past two years, he has also been debating the scriptures with the "Yan Zheng" in his mind, and has repeatedly participated in Zen, and the longest time, the heavenly and human fugue has been traveling for more than a month, and the ginseng and Zen ginseng are sick, but he has not convinced himself.

Wang Yangming knew that this meant that there was also a big problem with his set of doctrines. At least it can't connect epistemology with the origin of the world and consciousness like "Yan Zheng's Philosophy".

Although he didn't think that this man was right, the laws of the world discussed above made people have to think about it.

Wang Yangming also believes that the fundamental reason why Yang Daming has not been able to improve himself is that the Chinese people do not know what self-improvement is.

From this point of view, the unremitting self-improvement taught by the Four Books and the Five Classics is different from the "self-improvement" pursued by Liu Daxia.

How is it different, Wang Mingyang can't say, this involves the foundation of Confucianism, that is, the three outlines and five constants.

With unremitting self-improvement and the three outlines and five constants, it is completely different from the self-improvement of the Huang people!

After a letter was written, Wang Yangming was a little tired, and two servants were waiting aside, and they were refueling the kerosene lamp.

There were also more than a dozen students in the room, all of them flipping through the scriptures, one by one earnest.

In fact, Wang Yangming wanted them to read the so-called philosophy of the Tairen, but he finally held back.

He was half-lying on the bed, relaxing and flipping through the black man's "How Steel is Made".

At first, he was a little disdainful of this book, but after reading it carefully, he was attracted by the simplicity and simplicity of the truth.

Jin Bao's tortuous life and perseverance all reveal a different attitude towards life.

Wang Yang was frail and sickly when he was young next year, and his life seemed to be smooth, but he suffered many huge changes and setbacks over the years.

Every time he read Jin Bao's attitude towards life and suffering, Wang Yangming suddenly felt awe.

It's a pity that this book secretly attributed the suffering to the Ming Dynasty and pinned the light on the Eastern Qin, which was a big failure.

……

"Teacher, students occasionally have gains, but they are even more confused, can you ask the teacher to answer!" The disciples Li Weishan, Chen Wenxue, and Zhan Hui suddenly got up and asked.

"The Great Age of Genes"

Wang Yangming put down the book in his hand, sat up straight and said with a smile: "Let's listen to it!" ”

"Teacher, I still remember the "University" you talked about at the beginning, which was not the new version of Cheng Zhu, but the old version of the previous dynasty. Among them, there is a saying: the way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. This is far from what Zhu Zi said about the new people! But I think it's not necessarily right to be close to the people, but Xinmin is more suitable! Chen Wenxue said.

Li Weishan added: "Zhu Zi believes that all people have bright virtues, which is the nature of heaven and humanity, but no matter how bright the virtues are, they may be deceived!" Ming Mingde is for the sake of bright morality, and after having bright morality, you can guide others, so that they can also obtain such morality and become new people! In this way, everything in this world can stop at the highest good! ”

"Isn't it similar to this classmate who uses it to help the world and save the people? And being close to the people, it seems that there is something wrong! Zhan Hui also said.

This is the embodiment of Confucianism's "big dye vat", many truths can be far-fetched, and they do not pay attention to precision and dialectic.

Wang Yangming smiled and said: "Banggi is thousands of miles, but the people stop, what they are talking about is pro." Being a gentleman, stopping at benevolence, is talking about pro. A gentleman is virtuous, and a kiss is a kiss...... The gentleman is virtuous and pro-him. The villain is happy and profitable, and he is still pro. There is a meaning of benevolence, and there is also a new meaning. Those who are close to the people focus on action, and if they are not close to the people, how can they let others become new people?

Dear, a more important layer is to be used by the world, that is, what I said, 'the unity of knowledge and action, the application of the world, and the ultimate perfection'. In this process, we need to apply what we have learned, and we have to seek truth from facts after application, if the knowledge achieves real results, it can be regarded as truly mastering the knowledge, and then we can help the world and save the people! Realize the ...... of three generations of governance pursued by the sages"

Wang Yangming talked a lot, in fact, he was also touching porcelain, Ming Mingde, close to the people, and stopping at perfection, which is also the three outlines of Confucianism.

Through the difference between "pro" and "new", he directly competed for Taoism from the level of the three outlines of Confucianism, and mixed the principles of applying the world and seeking truth from facts.

Seems smart? In fact, he was extremely helpless, because he didn't dare to jump out of the framework of Confucianism, so he could only be far-fetched, take out the original truth and fry it again, and re-add some "left materials" into it.

More than a dozen students listened attentively, they were all disciples of Wang Yangming in Guizhou, and some of them came from Huguang and Yunnan to study.

Wang Yangming's psychology in this time and space has filled in the big loophole of methodology, so it seems to be more inclined to the content of practical learning, which is difficult to achieve quickly and is more focused on the word 'line'.

"Then teacher, I am waiting to understand the reason, if the result is not good after being applied to the world, and it does not conform to the truth of seeking truth from facts, isn't it wrong? But you also said that different environments and conditions will also lead to different results, so how to determine whether this is successful or not? Chen Wenwen asked.

Wang Yangming looked at him with a smile and said, "Everyone can be Yao Shun!" As long as you do good things and understand the reason, the result may not be good, but it will always be good! As long as you do things with this mind, it will always be beneficial to the country, the people and yourself!

As a teacher, he was in Huarong and asked Liu Shiyong about the matter, and he said at the time: 'I am not afraid that the things of the world cannot be implemented, but I am afraid that there is no one who can implement them'! Reading through the books of the sages, you should understand that the books of the sages are used to read, and it is useless to use them to do things! ”

More than a dozen students nodded silently and began to study on their own.

They cherish the time they spend with Wang Yangming, because Wang Yangming's period is almost over!

Under their propaganda, Yangming Psychology has become famous in Guizhou, and it has also spread by Liu Daxia in Huguang.
