Chapter 49 The Unity of Knowledge and Action: Knowledge is the Beginning of Action, and Action is the Completion of Knowledge!
"The so-called unity of knowledge and action means that there is action in knowledge, and knowledge in action, and the two become one."
"In layman's terms, it means that knowing is doing, doing is knowing, not knowing that you can't do it, and not doing it just because you don't know."
"The meaning for us is that don't look ahead and backward when doing things, don't wait until you understand it before you do it, if you can't figure it out all your life, won't you spend your whole life waiting."
Lin Che took a sip of wine and said, for example:
"For example, you have always wanted to join the army, want to get rid of your father's shackles, kill the enemy on the battlefield, serve the country, and make meritorious contributions."
"But you just stay at the stage of thinking, thinking about how to prepare, thinking about how to get rid of your father's obstruction, but you don't see action."
"You even asked me to help you come up with ideas, and you have to prepare seamlessly before you dare to take the next step."
"However, you may never be perfectly prepared, and you will have to stay at this stage."
Hearing this, Zhu Fan opened his mouth and stopped talking.
"On the contrary, if you only act and don't think, it is the situation I just told you, you are a cannon fodder on the battlefield, and you may be the first to die."
Lin Che looked at Zhu Fan who was staring at him blankly with his mouth open, and continued:
"Therefore, if you want to go to the battlefield, you must think and act together, so that 'knowledge' and 'action' are integrated and inseparable."
"Knowledge is the thought of action, and action is the kung fu of knowledge. Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge! ”
"Thinking about difficulties, doing can have answers."
"The dilemma is just the state of mind, and the answer is in the heart."
Just a few words.
It was like thunder on the ground.
It exploded in the hearts of the father and son.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were hot, and he repeatedly muttered a few words from Lin Che in his mouth:
"Knowledge is the thought of action, and action is the kung fu of knowledge. Knowing is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge..."
"That's great!"
"It's just wonderful!"
"Boss!"
"Erchen is here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up excitedly, took a few steps forward, and put his hand on Zhu Biao's shoulder:
"Copy down the words just now and frame them in our imperial study!"
Zhu Biao: "..."
The next moment.
Zhu Biao used a pen to mark the four words 'unity of knowledge and action', and repeatedly tasted these ordinary four words.
"How do you feel?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the pensive Zhu Biao, and said solemnly:
"Boss, don't underestimate the four words 'unity of knowledge and action', there is great wisdom in them, study these four words thoroughly, then as Lin Che said, become a saint."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he looked at his father in surprise.
He didn't expect his father to give these four words such a high evaluation.
"This..."
Zhu Biao didn't dare to lie in front of his father, and said truthfully:
"The son is only a shallow learner, and he has not been able to comprehend the essence of these four words, please forgive my father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao, his eyes caught a touch of disapproval, and said angrily:
"You, fool me!"
"You've been with me for so long, can I know your character?"
"Do you think Lin Che's 'unity of knowledge and action' is too exaggerated and not so mysterious?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao quickly stood up:
"Erchen doesn't dare!"
"It's really that Erchen didn't understand the essence of what Mr. Lin said."
Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip:
"Boss, you read more than the second child, and your understanding is high, as long as you comprehend it with your heart, you will definitely feel a lot."
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's deep eyes, Zhu Biao lowered his head weakly, not daring to look at him.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the prince was weak-hearted, so he no longer pressed to ask, but laughed at himself and said:
"You are still young, and when we were your age, we were also seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied."
"When I first became a soldier, I felt that I could do anything, it was no big deal, but as soon as I went to the battlefield, it was not like that at all, and I almost died on the battlefield in the end."
"Maybe you think those four words are just that, it's because your experience and vision are not enough."
"When you reach our age, do our position... You'll get everything! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang held the teacup, blew the floating leaves on it, and said lightly:
"Mr. Lin is right, a father can't prevent his son from talking, let alone let his son have ideas."
"Tell us what you understand."
Zhu Biao tidied up his clothes and came to Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Enlighten the father, the son's understanding of the 'unity of knowledge and action' is the consistency of thought and action."
"If you think of it, you have to do it..."
Speaking of which, there is no follow-up.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes and listened while drinking tea.
After hearing a sentence, it was gone, and he suddenly opened his tiger eyes and couldn't help asking:
"That's it?"
"It's... Father... That's all the sons and daughters understand! ”
Bang!
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the teacup on the table.
"I said boss, I see that you read a lot, how can you understand it so superficially?"
"What Mr. Lin said about 'the unity of knowledge and action' is as simple as that?"
Without waiting for Zhu Biao to refute, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly got up,
"You are the prince, not the second one, you can taste it carefully and see what else is the essence!"
Zhu Biao's scalp was a little numb, and he closed his eyes and pondered for a while.
He seemed to realize something in his head, but he couldn't describe it.
He opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Seeing Zhu Biao's embarrassed expression, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little speechless:
"Didn't get it? I'll give you a simple example, you listen. ”
"You were walking down the street and bumped into two shrews."
"Before you could apologize, two shrews scolded you."
"One laughs at you for taking advantage of her, and she can't even marry a woman."
"One scolds you for taking advantage of her, and she can't have children even if she marries a daughter-in-law."
Zhu Biao: "??? ”
"Are you confused when you hear this?"
After a pause, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "What are you thinking about what are you scolding? Didn't you just accidentally touch them, you don't know how to reply to them. ”
"Isn't that so?"
"Now, if you put the phrase 'unity of knowledge and action' out, you will be able to understand what the other party is saying!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's simple example suddenly made Zhu Biao feel empowered, and his eyes became clear.
"That's right!"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Biao's epiphany and continued:
"The two women who scolded the street put what they thought was the worst thing on your head, exposing their suffering, and these two things they are most afraid of happening!."
"Did you find it this time?" The 'knowledge' in the unity of knowledge and action is cognition, and 'action' is behavior, and cognition and behavior are not separated, but unified. ”
"From the emperor and the generals to the common people, as long as he is a person, there is no way to jump out of his own cognition."
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was shocked:
"So... Mr. Lin did not instruct the second brother what to do, but told the second brother the simple road between heaven and earth, concisely and concisely..."
Zhu Biao was short of breath, his eyes became extremely clear, and he was a little out of shape with excitement:
"Since all people must be 'one in knowledge and action,' there are no exceptions in heaven and earth."
"So... The second brother knows what to do, but he hasn't done it for a long time, it's not that he can't achieve the 'unity of knowledge and action'. ”
"It's... The second brother's inner cowardice and timidity, cognition intervened in the behavior, so he didn't do it! ”
"Good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped his thigh hard, and his excitement was beyond words:
"That's right!"
"Now do you still think that Mr. Lin's words are nonsense?"
