**Wan Fan Incentive Plan He is the undisputed first brother of the Ming Dynasty, a hexagonal warrior with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, he is known as a perfect man through the ages, and his doctrine is regarded as a secret of success by later generations, he is a pioneer in the emancipation of the mind, helping us to stay away from spiritual internal friction. Wang Yangming, whose real name is Wang Yun, was born in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province in 1472, and is the only person in Chinese history who has achieved the unity of knowledge and action. When great men in ancient times were born, they must have a whole image. Wang Yangming also has such a legend, when he was born, his grandmother dreamed that the god of heaven came by the clouds, praying for the ancient moon, there was a heavenly immortal holding a child to step on the auspicious clouds to the king's house, surrounded by the sound of drums, and Wang Yangming, it happened that he appeared with BGM, so his grandfather named him Yun. The entire Wang family was full of expectations for this child born with auspiciousness, but they didn't expect that until he was five years old, Wang Yangming would not be able to speak, which made his family anxious, and took him everywhere to ask for a doctor, until he met a monk who nodded to him, and when he heard his name, he said that the word cloud was a leak of heaven and was punished by heaven. His grandfather chose the word Shouren, which was known in the Analects of the Wei Ling Palace, which could not be kept, although it was gained and lost, to make his new name. People are the core of Confucianism, and after changing this name, Wang Yangming can really speak.
He showed an extraordinary talent for language, was able to speak, and it didn't take long for him to recite some of the Confucian classics. Just like his name, Wang Shouren, this name brought him a voice and pointed out a way for him to inherit and preserve Confucianism, as if it was his mission to be born. And Wang Yangming in the future did walk out of his own way on this road. Wang Yangming was born in. A prominent family, his family's Internet celebrity David, the ancestors can be traced back to Wang Xizhi's generation, his grandfather Wang Lun is a famous professor, his reputation spreads all over the world, and his protégés are either rich or noble. His father Wang Hua was the champion of Chenghua for 17 years, and the official worshiped the Nanjing Ministry of Officials. The entire Wang family can be said to have no talent and reputation, so they are embarrassed to eat at the table. Therefore, Wang Yangming in his youth was high-spirited, light-minded, scripture and poetry, the art of war, riding and archery and even Taoism were all refined, and his morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor were in full bloom, and he was completely a full-level human child. The superior family background brought Wang Yangming genetic talent and foreign material conditions, and also cultivated his confident and arrogant character.
When he was 12 years old, he dared to correct the teacher's speech in class, and said that studying and becoming a sage is the first priority in life, and he will indeed move forward all the way to this path in the future. In 1481, the news that his father Wang Hua was a high school champion and entered the Hanlin Academy reached Yuyao's home. His grandfather, Wang Lun, picked up Wang Yangming, who skipped class and slipped out to play military games, began to pack his baggage and prepare to enter Beijing. When passing by Jinshan Temple, the beautiful scenery made several people stop. Wang Lun wanted to check in a poem here, but he couldn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time. At this time, Wang Yangming next to him made a move, wrote down a little bit of Jinshan as big as a spring, broke the underwater sky of Weiyang, drunk and leaned on the Miaogao platform on the moon, and the jade flute blew through the dragon's sleep. At this time, Wang Yangming was just 11 years old, and the talent revealed between the lines could already give people a glimpse of his future demeanor.
In 1488, 17-year-old Wang Yangming came to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, to marry his wife Zhu. It was here that he met two of the most important people in his life. Maybe he was a bit of a premarital anxiety, and the day before the wedding, he couldn't sleep at all, so he decided to go out for a walk. Walking and walking, he happened to come to a Taoist temple, and he and a Taoist priest hit it off at first sight. The two chatted directly. When he got married the next day, he found that the groom could not be found, and when Wang Yangming returned home, the bride had been waiting in the cave room all night, so angry that his father-in-law almost quit the marriage. When Wang Yangming explained the reason, his wife, who was knowledgeable, was not angry, and made up for the worship ceremony with him. In 1489, Wang Yangming, who had lived in Zhufu for half a year, wanted to return to his hometown with his wife, and on the way back to Yuyao, he passed through Shangrao, Jiangxi, and they came to visit the Confucian Louliang of the Zhu Xi school. This meeting became a meeting that changed the trajectory of Wang Yangming's life. A saint can learn, Confucius is a man, Mencius is also a man, and sanctification can be achieved through learning. Wang Yangming realized that since then, he has been moving towards the path guided by Lou Liang, and began to practice the method of stopping things, but he has not found results. Since ancient times, the great man Cheng Sheng has been inseparable from learning, and Wang Yangming also ushered in the first hurdle in his life.
In 1493, 22-year-old Wang Yangming attended the meeting for the first time. Is it not hit? At the age of 25, I took the second entrance examination again, but still didn't fail? The genius boy was tripped twice by the college entrance examination, for Wang Yangming, this is a frustration that he has never experienced, but his mentality is as stable as ever, in his opinion, he is ashamed of being untouchable, and he is ashamed of being untouched. At this time, although Wang Yangming had not yet fully enlightened, he had already realized the truth that there was nothing outside his heart. Every day of our lives, we encounter all kinds of problems and deal with all kinds of troubles. When I was a child, I thought that it was a big deal if I didn't finish my homework, and when I grew up, I felt that I made a mistake in my work, as if my whole life was a failure. But when you look back now, it's not a big deal. In fact, in the final analysis, we are dealing with emotions, dealing with our own mentality, and our emotions do not originate from the things themselves, but from our thoughts. Wang Yangming has always been firm-minded, not burdened by gains and losses, insisting on his own ideas and paths, and reality has not disappointed him.
In 1499, that is, when he was 28 years old, Wang Yangming participated in the second class jinshi for the third time, and his appointment was announced, which began his road of self-exploration. As we said earlier, Wang Yangming had a wide range of interests and hobbies when he was a teenager, and his talents were outstanding, such as reading, writing, playing the piano, and gathering clubs, all of which were no different. In addition to these, he also has a special hobby, which is to worship Buddha. He once annotated the font number as Yangmingzi in Yangmingdong, Huiji Mountain, which is also the origin of the name Wang Yangming. According to records, Wang Yangming traveled all kinds of Buddhist temples throughout his life, and he pursued the way of immortals, although there is a certain difference with the idea of today's young people who are undecided to engage in metaphysics first, but there are also certain commonalities. In 1501, Wang Yangming had been working for two years at this time, and his main job was to check whether there were unjust, false and wrongful cases. There was a certain separation between the real world and his ideals, which made him deeply trapped in it and unable to change the status quo. In desperation, he walked on Jiuhua Mountain. Seek. It's like a guide, but it doesn't achieve a breakthrough in itself. In 1505, 33-year-old Wang Yangming welcomed a special colleague Zhan Ruoshui. Zhan Ruoshui's teacher and Lou Liang's teacher are from the same door, and Lou Liang is Wang Yangming's guide, and the two can be regarded as brothers in the same class. They all advocate Confucianism, and some have been influenced by Zen Buddhism. Wang Yangming believed in Zhu Xi's theory of Gewu, but he did not agree with Zhu Xi's idea of separating the heart from the courtesy, and Zhan Ruoshui's assertion that he used the self-satisfaction of creation to explain the prohibition of Gewu gave Wang Yangming a lot of inspiration. His later famous dragon field enlightenment and Zhan Ruoshui's self-satisfied thoughts are obviously in the same vein.
In 1506, at the age of 15, Ming Wuzong ascended the throne, and the eunuch Liu Jin interfered in court politics and wantonly arrested court officials. Wang Yangming, regardless of his own small official status, risked losing his head, and wrote a letter to condemn Liu Jin's style of acting. Sure enough, he wasn't just spanked and kicked off. Hua was also sent to the remote Guizhou Longchang to be the stationmaster of the station. Wang Yangming's heart was calm, and he accepted the results of his actions calmly. In his opinion, how can the dragon field not become its own side of the world? In March 1507, Wang Yangming was suddenly pursued by the Assassins on the way to Longchang, and he did not expect Liu Jin to completely exterminate them. In order to avoid the pursuit of the assassins, Wang Yangming pretended to commit suicide by jumping into the water, but in fact secretly boarded a merchant ship. After he escaped this pursuit, he did not choose to remain silent, but ran to his own battlefield without hesitation. He came to the farm. Before going, he wrote such a poem to show his state of mind, first move to the chest, what do you mean to float clouds through space, and the night is quiet and the sea is 30,000 miles. The moon is bright and the tin is shining, and the wind is robbing the south. The danger is just around the corner, but for me, it's no different from the clouds in the sky. Second, he thinks about his own life and the fate of the land under his feet. Fate goes up and down, just like the waves in the sea, countless people are swept in it, unable to resist, and he has to face the huge waves to accept every challenge in his life. He trekked through mountains and rivers to reach Longchang, but because he was guilty, he had no shelter and no food, and Guizhou Farm was in the deep mountains and old forests, sparsely populated, infested with poisonous insects, and it was simply not a place for people to stay. And after experiencing great ups and downs, Wang Yangming, who was happy and sorrowful, gradually calmed down, he built a sarcophagus for himself in the cave, and often lay in the sarcophagus to meditate on the quiet world and tired body, but his spirit was extremely relaxed.
At this time, Wang Yangming had already experienced the beating of officialdom, the gap in life and the tribulation of life and death, he let go of personal gains and losses, let go of the outside of his body, realized the epiphany after the world, and realized the Lu who was completely different from Cheng Zhu Lixue. This is called the Dragon Field Enlightenment by later generations. What did he realize? In layman's terms, it is idealism. Of course, some people do not agree that Wang Yangming is pure idealism, but after hearing the same topic, different people have different chemical reactions, which is a kind of idealism in itself. He felt that human nature is self-sufficient, and to achieve the highest perfection of human nature, it is not limited by external conditions, but depends on the original heart of human beings. To put it simply, our emotions do not originate from the thing itself, but from our own thoughts. His mind can allow us to stick to internal friction on the way forward. Recently, a very popular sentence is that we will always beautify the road we have not taken, which is actually about regret, but now it seems that regret is the norm. Life is a process of enjoyment, and no matter what choice you make, you will regret it. We can't jump out of time, go beyond experience, and criticize ourselves from the perspective of the present. Even if the time is repeated, one. Therefore, with the mind and experience at that time, I will still make the same choice, start from my heart, abandon unnecessary internal friction, and achieve the goal that everyone can be holy. This is the spiritual wealth left to us by Wang Yangming through personal experience. After Wang Yangming realized the Tao in Longchang, he founded Longgang Academy, and began his path of ideological dissemination while lecturing, and his fame spread all over the world.
In 1513, Wang Yangming sang Shaoqing of Taipu Temple in Nanjing, although he was a Bi Ma Wen, but he could be regarded as returning to officialdom. In 1516, on the recommendation of Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Yangming's official position was promoted to another level, and he was appointed to move the capital to the imperial history of the left and entered the ** department, and he was also responsible for suppressing bandits. Although Wang Yangming's ideological contributions are now well known, his talent and achievements in military intelligence are also very prominent. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and it only took him more than a year to take over dozens of peasant uprisings. He also set up a county system, established social studies, and reformed the tax administration, which to a great extent improved the living standards of the people in southern Gannan and maintained peace in southern Gannan for more than 100 years. In 1519, Wang Yangming was ordered to go to Nanchang to comment on the rebellion against King Ning. This is not a good job, and the slightest carelessness can easily cause the disaster of extermination. However, Wang Yangming played the art of war, and in only 36 days, he annihilated the army of King Ning with more than 60,000 people in one fell swoop, and captured Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and completed the real great achievements in his life. But I didn't expect to offend the emperor because he was too efficient in doing things. It turned out that Ming Wuzong at that time wanted to personally evaluate the rebellion and establish his majesty, but he didn't expect that before he arrived at the place, Wang Yangming would solve the matter first, and he was not very happy. It just so happened that there were two eunuchs and generals beside him, and in order to curry favor with Wuzong, he actually asked Wang Yangming to release Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, and catch it again, okay, add some performance to Wuzong. Wang Yangming listened. This idle and boring fool who has nothing to do to find trouble is what kind of business, hurriedly rushed to Hangzhou overnight, escorted King Ning to the eunuch Daniel Zhang, and ran to the West Lake Jingci Temple by pretending to be sick. This time he completely offended Wuzong and his cronies, and was framed by eunuchs and generals, Wang Yangming escaped, but his ** was falsely imprisoned and died.
In 1521, Wang Yangming wrote down the study of the sage, the study of the heart, experienced all kinds of difficulties, the merits of the society could not be expressed, and even caused unwarranted disasters. This made Wang Yangming even more firm in his doctrine of conscience, conscience is the principle of heaven, and it shows the absolute place of the soul. Conscience can distinguish right from wrong, good and evil, so he is the heavenly principle, find your code of conduct, use your conscience to behave in the world, you can save good and eliminate evil, and get happiness. The doctrine of conscience is the core of Wang Yangming's thought, and the proposition of this doctrine represents that Wang Yangming's thought has reached its peak. Envelope. In June 1521, Wuzong died, Sejong ascended the throne, and Wang Yangming was named Xinjian Bo. He was recuperating and lecturing at the same time. Although the Yangming doctrine was officially banned because some people in the court attacked him, it was still widely spread among the people because of the circulation of the academy and the quotations of the anthology. In 1527, at the age of 55, Wang Yangming once again led his troops to suppress a peasant uprising. In 1529, Wang Yangming returned to his hometown due to lung disease, and just walked to the south bank of Jiangxi, his body began to fester, and finally died of illness. Wang Yangming, whose life is about to come to an end, left his last words, what is the brightness of this heart? Yes, the heart is clear, what else is there to say? A generation of saints passed away, and the body dissipated with the heavens and the earth, but the mind was eternal. After the death of Wang Yangming, he and his doctrine were verified in time. is getting brighter and brighter.
Wang Shizhen said that Wang Wencheng is a first-rate person, and his morality, meritorious service, and words are all at the top. Yu Qiuyu commented that there are many people who can be literate and martial arts in Chinese history, but few of them are as good as morning stars in both aspects, as if everything has to wait for Wang Yangming to appear, so that miracles can really happen. His ideas have also traveled across the ocean and have had a positive impact on the whole of East Asia. The god of the Japanese navy, Heihachiro Togo, is his hardcore mystery, and he often has the waist card of his lifelong rival Bai Yangming. Takehiko Okada, a master of Japanese Confucianism, said frankly that Yangmingxue has the most characteristics of oriental culture, and he is simple and simple, which is not only easy to learn and master, but also easy to practice and implement. In the big family of human beings, regardless of race, age or age, they can understand and practice Yangming's conscience.
Looking back at Wang Yangming's life, he seems to have been born with a mission. Just like his name, Shouren, he worked all his life to achieve the emancipation of his mind, and he finally achieved what he considered as a child, the first priority, to study and become a sage. Just like Zhang Dai said, Mr. Yang Ming's theory of conscience is a dark room, he is all-round in civil and military affairs, his words and deeds, and his meritorious service. He repeatedly excavated in his spiritual world, helping himself and countless others to escape from the spiritual night. More importantly, many people understand the importance of action from his doctrine of the unity of knowledge and action. action, because there is real knowledge in action. As long as we don't give up and continue to create a new self in action, even if the road of life is long, those mountains that we think are insurmountable will actually be turned over unconsciously, and the faces in the memories that we think are difficult to let go may not be able to see clearly. Action is the antidote to all mental exhaustion. Looking back, it was the light boat that had crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains. By the way, I am a fan of Wang Yangming and thank him for helping me. The ancestors are like the sun shining on the world, and the thoughts of the gentleman are like the bright moon. When it comes to Wang Yangming, is there anything else you would like to say? Let's talk in the comment section.
