That's right.
Unity of knowledge and action.
This is how Liu Zheng spent a whole night thinking hard yesterday to come up with a solution to Liangzhou's current ideology.
Liu Zheng has actually never stopped thinking about ideology. Especially after confronting those Confucian students who respected Confucius at Wangbei Academy, he summarized his remarks at that time - this mentality was very similar to arguing with someone outside during the day. Although he won the argument, when he returned home, At night, I suddenly felt that I had not performed well at all. He can definitely use a more mature doctrine to defeat them.
this doctrine.
This is Wang Yangming’s philosophy.
What is mind science? Of course, there is no need to go into details on this. I only need to mention two points here. Wang Yangming, Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi are collectively called "Confucius, Mencius, Zhu, and Wang"! Harvard University professor Tu Weiming once commented that Wang Yangming was the source of Confucianism in the past five hundred years. What does the source of living water here refer to? The original backwardness of Confucianism was no longer suitable for the development stage of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
But Wang Yangming used his outstanding knowledge to revitalize it.
Inherit and establish innovation.
He used his own theory of the unity of knowledge and action to correct Zhu Xi's view of knowing and doing in advance.
Judging from the development trajectory of the history of thought, the study of mind can be said to be the self-renovation of Confucianism and the last peak of Confucianism. In the academic circles of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming's theory of mind set off a huge wave and became a magnificent mainstream thought.
Therefore, during the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind was called "the philosophy of salvation", which is not an exaggeration at all.
Someone may have something to say.
Didn’t Liu Zheng criticize Confucianism?
What he criticized was actually Confucianism, which respected the emperor and fooled the people. However, Wang Yangming's Confucianism advocates the equality of saints and mortals. He believes that saints, like mortals, do not know everything and can do everything. There is only one difference between saints and mortals, and that is whether they can discover their inner conscience.
so.
At that time, Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind came out and made a considerable contribution to the development of the Ming Dynasty. During that period, many of Wang Yangming's foundations were based on his consideration for the people. He hoped that the court could be people-oriented and pay attention to the sorrows and joys of the people. Xinxue has been highly praised by people since its spread in the Ming Dynasty. It is like a huge divine ax that splits apart the rigid feudal ideas that constrain people's inner thoughts and shakes the status of feudal ideas.
Xinxue supports the working people in spirit. It opposes the exploitation and oppression of feudal society and gives hope to the people.
Wang Yangming once said in his lectures that "everyone can be like Yao and Shun" and "the streets are full of saints"! He believes that everyone is equal and there is no distinction between high and low.
It can be seen that the study of mind is already the highest level of Confucianism!
The Minyi Thoughts put forward by Liu Zheng when he was at Wangbei Academy was certainly advanced. But at this time, it seems that it is still too sharp and extreme. Thousands of years of Confucianism has a deep-rooted influence on society, scholars, and people.
so.
At this time, he believed that Xin Xue was more suitable for today's Long Yan.
on the one hand.
The study of mind can liberate the minds of today's literati, such as the Longyan Dynasty, who have been imprisoned in various rules and regulations for thousands of years.
on the other hand.
Mind science can promote the development of society in terms of thought, philosophy, science and technology, and even politics and civilization.
In today's Longyan Dynasty, the development of Confucianism is actually more inclined to Song Confucianism and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, which is too dogmatic. In the philosophy of mind, the views of "developing conscience", "everyone can be like Yao and Shun" and "everyone has a Zhongni in his heart" are already similar to the advanced Western democratic thoughts of later generations.
In fact, Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind has had a profound impact on Japan, the United States, and even Europe, leaving aside this for the moment.
Therefore.
Liu Zheng thinks.
Advocating political equality and attaching importance to the psychology of natural science can almost save today's Liangzhou, and even save today's Long Yan.
Liu Zheng only felt that.
With the rapid economic development of Liangzhou, ideological work must also keep up.
Therefore.
He must come up with his trump card.
He searched for any knowledge about the study of mind in his mind, and started writing furiously.
…
One day passed like this.
More and more scholars gathered at the gate of Liangzhou Mansion. At every time period, you can see a group of dusty scholars who came from nowhere, with faces full of indignation, joining the team to attack Liu Zhizhou.
"Liu Zhizhou, we scholars all over the world should give an explanation!"
"Liu Zhizhou, don't you dare?"
"I heard that Liu Zhizhou is good at giving lectures, so he came out to argue with us. What can he do?"
"Apostate from the classics, insulting the saints, spitting on the classics, does Liu Zhizhou want to be the enemy of the world?"
These people are still arguing and making trouble.
Almost every one of them holds a Confucian classic in his hand. This is the scriptures they advocate! In their understanding, these Confucian classics are the secrets of heaven and earth, and Confucian classics determine the saints and imperial power! Confucian classics are the beginning and end of everything. In the understanding of these people, the Tao of Confucius and Mencius is the only correct one in ancient and modern times. From the birth of the world to eternity, it is absolutely correct and unchangeable and blasphemous!
The saint is the perfect body of morality, and the classics of the saint are the most perfect and sound embodiment of morality. So if you want to learn morality, you should study the classics of saints!
This Liu Zhizhou not only criticized the saints, but also criticized Confucian classics.
Who can tolerate you?
the next day.
The scene was even attended by great writers who came to Liangzhou Prefecture despite the long journey and travel.
These people became even more excited.
Great writers and scholars from all walks of life came in droves.
The pressure on Liangzhou Prefecture is increasing.
