Chapter 103 The unity of knowledge and action
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Bai Qichang had the first hope of sincere interaction with a person. He had never seen a person who was declining so tough, and for the first time he met someone who made him feel ashamed of himself.
He has been used to being in the dark, being versatile, and being used to pleasing others.
He even got used to giving up his likes and dislikes and just putting himself in a regular box. He thought that it would be a great honor to have a good relationship with such an open-minded person.
However, what followed was a strong jealousy.
He is the son of the prefect of Runing and was a great scholar. He should be the pride of heaven. But why did he have to endure so many plots and roll his eyes in the dark, and Chen Kang, the son of a farmer, can live so freely!
There is probably never the word fair in this world.
The so-called fairness is just a false Taoism that deceives mediocre people.
Bai Qichang smiled, as gentle as usual, looked at Chen Kang lovingly, slowly stood up, bowed and said, "Cheng Kang, Brother Yu is willing to give up his power, money, and be with you forever!"
Even if a person who is hard to guess in this way, Chen Kang couldn't believe a word. Although he was unwilling to be with Bai Qichang, in the Confucian environment where he respected his teachers and respected virtue, he could not influence his reputation for being an irresponsible person. Therefore, he had to put on the same hypocritical smile.
Chen Kang smiled innocently, gently lifted his clothes and stood up calmly, bowed down and said, "The people who come here are common, Kang is willing to interact with like-minded people."
The two stood upright at the same time and looked at each other. The flames burned strongly at the moment when their eyes met.
Both of them clearly looked calm and gentle, with a clear smile, but no one could believe each other's words.
No matter how much defense Bai Qichang had made against Chen Kang intentionally or unintentionally, since this moment, he would face the child and treat him as a real opponent.
Jiang Liuyu didn't know what information the two of them collided across the air. He just listened to their words and felt proud.
Unconsciously infected by the words of the two, he stood up and said, "Chen Sanlang, the mountains and rivers are not important, the key is to meet a confidant. Since that day, I have known that you, a kid, are very extraordinary. If Sanlang does not abandon you, please make friends with my foolish brother!"
Chen Chang stood up and said, "You must not forget all classmates."
"Haha." Jiang Liuxian smiled and said, "Brother Chen Kuoda, Liuxian dare not forget each other."
"That's good, that's good!"
Four boys of similar age smiled sincerely, and Luo Feng, who was standing beard, was deeply relieved. He had also thought that the Shen brothers were from poor families and probably could not be integrated with them, but since they were classmates, they should support each other in order to revitalize their own sects.
At this moment, Wang Lucao, who was sitting alone, was a little embarrassed. He opened the folding fan and slapped his chest gently, and said with a slightly red face: "Chen Kang, you are like-minded, you can travel with me in the future."
This is the first time that Wang Lucao has a head-on conversation with Chen Kang. Chen Kang smiled slightly and said calmly: "I am so happy!"
Wang Lucao nodded slightly, counting as an answer.
Jiang Liuying smiled and said, "What a tough guy."
Wang Lucao didn't care at all, and looked like he could comment, "I am aloof."
Luo Fu coughed lightly and said to everyone: "Wencheng Public said: It is easy to know one's own conscience. But if you cannot achieve that conscience, it is 'knowing is not difficult, but if you do it, you will be hard.' What kind of thoughts do you have, just speak freely."
This is what Wang Shouren said: It is easy to say that if a person wants to become a saint, it is originally very easy, but he cannot suppress his own selfish thoughts, so he becomes unable to know his true intention and cannot do things according to his true intention, so it is difficult to become a saint.
Bai Qichang bowed his hand and said with a smile: "To achieve conscience, people have conscience in their hearts, and the mind is the origin. All things are created and developed by the mind. To achieve knowledge is to investigate things, and then to know the truth."
Bai Qichang said that to seek insight, the human heart has "conscience", so the human heart is the foundation of everything. Everything in the world is created by having an idea. In his opinion, before exploring all things, one will have a higher idea after exploring the world.
Luo Bu smiled and asked, "Wencheng Public's words: knowledge and action are united. Qi Chang's words are separate "knowledge" and "action"?"
Bai Qichang said: "You dare not refute the saint's words. You just follow the laws of heaven and human nature. Knowing must be before you go, knowing it is clear, and then you can understand the truth before you study things, which may benefit or damage, and move on the great way!"
Wang Lucao snorted coldly and said, "No!"
He put away the folding fan with a "bang", tidied up his clothes to show respect, and then bowed and said, "Where the heart is going, it must be born from the obstacles of action. Wencheng has established the unity of words, knowledge and action, which means to understand this way." He raised his hand slightly, waved it in the air, and asked, "I am sorry that I cannot agree with you. Enlightenment... It is because my heart has something to think, but if I do not have a solid understanding of things, how can I realize the truth? From ancient times to the present, I have never seen a saint sitting alone in my home without asking about the world, and then I can attain enlightenment."
Bai Qichang replied: "Everything in the world is the way, and we will never be lazy in our lives. Isn't it already between you and me? It's just that you and I can't perceive it."
When Shen Chang heard these words, he felt that the mountains and mountains were covered with fog, what is the unity of knowledge and action? What is the study of things? What is the conscience? What is the Tao? What is the following?
But gradually, just listening, he felt obsessed with it. It turned out that there were so many truths in the world? It turned out that besides the Four Books and Five Classics, there were such novel ideas.
Shen Kang did not dare to speak easily. He listened carefully to their intentions. He had read the information about the study of the mind in books before. He knew that this theory was highly valued in neighboring countries, but he did not understand why it gradually disappeared in his own country. Even a considerable number of people in the younger generation only knew that there were Confucius, Mencius, Laozi and Zhuangzi, Guigu grandson, but he did not know that such a saint had put forward such advanced ideas.
Learning the mind is undoubtedly the essence of the great Chinese thought!
He seemed to understand why the study of mind was obscured by the torrent of history, because it was a doctrine that opened up the wisdom of the whole people. From ancient times to the present, leaders were the least willing to see the wisdom of the people.
Only foolish people can rule more easily, isn’t it?
Wang Shouren said that no matter whoever has the idea of becoming a saint, as long as your behavior and thoughts are in the direction of your wishes, it may come true! It means to my inner conscience, be determined, study hard, correct mistakes, and be responsible for goodness.
If everyone has great and lofty ambitions and practices down-to-earth, what will the country become? Shen Kang shivered, and it will be a free, open and positive society!
He slowly twisted his sleeves and thought quietly that now is the era of the upward development of mind-learning thoughts, so many savages in the opposition promote their thoughts, and the academy came into being. Emperor Jiajing probably saw this, so he paved the academy twice in the 16th and 17th years of Jiajing.
