Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-06

In the glimmer of the morning light, the wind blows from the high hills of the mountains and forests. When I looked up, I saw the mountains undulating and the clouds and mist, like an ink painting. I was intoxicated, and suddenly a wisp of rice fragrance hit, and the rice under my feet swayed gently with the wind. The stream behind him hurried down the valley, leaving behind the sound of gurgling water, like an early morning greeting from the mountains. This is the morning of the fourth year of Zhengde, and Wang Yangming is about to leave this Longchangyi, where he has lived for two years, and go to Guiyang Academy to take up a post.

Ryuba preachingLongchang enlightenment, let Wang Yangming really step on the barrier of life and death in his heart, and completely waved away the shadow brought to him by Eunuch Liu. The "enlightenment" of enlightenment is a "heart" and a "me", and only when you see my heart can you become enlightened. Let go of the obsessions of the past and embrace the present day. Wang Yangming, who has experienced spiritual nirvana, has changed his mentality, he no longer regards himself as an outsider, nor does he no longer regard himself as a scholar and a **, he is like Su Dongpo in Huangzhou, with the image of a farmer, integrated into the life of the local aborigines. He sincerely taught the locals how to make mud and build houses, and the locals also helped him build a beautiful wooden house, and also gave him a vegetable garden in front of the wooden house, surrounded by bamboo, wood and flowers. In this way, Wang Yangming's state of mind changed his situation. After enlightenment, Wang Yangming's heart was blazing, and he touched the people around him with his virtue and sincerity. With the help of everyone, the once desolate and dilapidated Longchang Station is slowly becoming full of vitality. He Shaoxuan, Junzi Pavilion, Yin Bintang, play Yiwo ......Pavilion houses have been built one after another. With a spacious place, Wang Yangming's "Longgang Academy" has officially opened. Different from the lectures of ordinary Confucians, Wang Yangming's lecture hall is not limited to the school, he can give lectures everywhere, between the green mountains and clear waters, when the wind is clear and the moon is clear, there are Wang Yangming's classes everywhere between drinking and playing the piano. Students who are far away in the capital, descendants of Yuyao's hometown, dozens of people have come from thousands of miles to listen to Mr. Yangming's class. Longchangyi, a change of world.

Noble people help each otherJust as Wang Yangming's "Longgang Academy" was flourishing, new dangers were approaching him step by step. One day, a few officials on horseback came to the post road, and when they arrived at Longchang Station, they surrounded Wang Yangming and scolded: "Wang Shouren, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall!" I've been tossing around in Guizhou for so long, and I didn't go to meet the governor! Wang Yangming's face was a question mark, and just as he was about to take a step to speak, dozens of Miao men rushed behind him, some of them were wielding sticks and sickles in their hands. Those officials had always known the fierceness of the Miao aborigines, so they turned their horses' heads in fright, and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The governor of Guizhou in the mouth of this official is called Wang Qian, who served as the imperial historian in the court in his early years, because the work of the imperial history is mainly ***, so he has developed the habit of finding fault. According to his thoughts, Wang Yangming, as a criminal official, should visit his boss when he arrives in Guizhou. But Wang Yangming ignored his existence, which made him feel offended, so he sent someone to teach Wang Yangming a lesson. The official sent back to clarify the situation, and Wang Zhen became even more angry. I was just about to give the order to mobilize the army, but I was worried that things would get bigger. What's more, the dignified governor embarrassed a postman, and once this matter spreads, it will not look good on his face. So he found Mao Yingkui, who was in charge of justice, and asked him to deal with this matter. When Mao Yingkui arrived at Longchangyi, Wang Yangming was still puzzled, why did he offend the governor? After the two met, Mao Yingkui gave an explanation of the ins and outs, and Wang Yangming understood the reason. Mao Yingkui is a decent and knowledgeable person, as an intermediary, he persuaded Wang Yangming to apologize to the governor, but he really couldn't write a letter of apology, and the matter was over. After Wang Yangming thought about it repeatedly, he wrote a letter to Wang Zhen, but the letter did not mention anything about the apology, but wrote a few "hard words": "I have never met anything in Longchang, almost three deaths a day, no matter how big the storm is, it is just a worm to me." And although I am an exile, I should have a minimum of respect. This is the soul of Wang Yangming's psychology: everyone has dignity and is inviolable. It is said that Wang Zhen was shocked after reading the letter, and silently accepted such an inconclusive result. In fact, it is impossible to silence the governor with a letter of righteous words. This matter can be settled, and the middleman Mao Yingkui must have spent a lot of effort to deal with Wang Yangming. As the saying goes, "virtue is high and blessed, and the future has its own nobles to help you", since then Wang Yangming has one less enemy and one more friend. And another noble person in Wang Yangming's life is on the way to Longchang with a plug-in!

Knowledge and action are oneWang Yangming's reputation for "Longgang Academy" became more and more famous, and finally attracted a big man, he was Xi Yuanshan, the deputy envoy of Guizhou. This Xi Yuanshan is also an honest and honest person, and later entered the court as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Just from the time he crossed the mountains and mountains, from Guiyang City to this remote Longchang Station, and humbly asked for advice from a small post man who was degraded by the imperial court, it was enough to see his extraordinary bearing and insight. He sat in Wang Yangming's He Shaoxuan, and while drinking tea, he invited Wang Yangming: "Mr. Yangming, Mao Yingkui and I want to renovate Guiyang Academy, please go out of the mountain to be the cave master of the academy, I don't know what you think?" I was really surprised and delighted, Wang Yangming accepted the invitation on the spot in the face of the sincerity and kindness of the two. In the fourth year of Zhengde, he left Longchangyi, where he had lived for two years, and went to Guiyang Academy to give lectures. In Guiyang Academy, Wang Yangming talked about "the unity of knowledge and action", which is also the crystallization of his enlightenment in Longchang. Since ancient times, the Chinese have looked at knowledge and action separately, and Zhu Xi, the great Confucian of the Song Dynasty, conducted an in-depth study of the problem of knowledge and action, and put forward the doctrine of "the prophet and the follower", he believed that we must first recognize the reason of all things, and then we can practice, otherwise practice will have no foundation. This idea is very popular today, not to mention the time of the Ming Dynasty, when Confucian scholars at that time enshrined it as the truth. However, Wang Yangming believes that knowledge and action are carried out at the same time, knowledge exists in action, action exists in knowledge, knowledge is the beginning of action, and behavior is the completion of knowledge. As soon as this idea was proposed, it had an earth-shattering effect and caused an uproar at the time. It is foreseeable that Wang Yangming will usher in another difficult road.
