Chapter 54 I’m quite busy

Xia Yuan originally thought that when he got back to the inn, he would go back to his room, close the door, and then give his silly lolita a good break on this feudal superstition. However, as soon as he walked near the inn, he saw a pestle at the door of the inn.

He was a tall, thin man.

Speaking of which, Wang Shouren is really tall, about 1.8 meters tall, which is half a head taller than Xia Yuan.

Seeing this man, Xia Yuan suddenly felt a headache. What was even more troublesome was that the man had clearly seen him and was walking towards him.

As soon as he got closer, Wang Shouren saluted him and Xia Yuan quickly returned the salute, bending even further than him.

Who dares to live to receive the gift of a saint?

Maybe your life will be shortened.

"Brother, why are you here again?"

Xia Yuan straightened up and sighed slightly. He was unlucky. He came back from dinner a few days ago and was walking along the street. He happened to bump into the Great Sage Wang.

Then, this guy knew where the inn he was staying was, and ran there without any trouble.

"If you have doubts in your heart and need answers to your questions, you will come naturally." Wang Shouren said matter-of-factly.

"." Xia Yuan was speechless. Look, this guy is so confident in disturbing other people's lives.

He sighed again, "Let's go up first. This is not the place to talk."

After saying that, Xia Yuan took his wife and entered the inn first. Wang Shouren was not polite at all and followed him immediately.

A group of three people arrived at the second floor of the inn. After entering the room, Zhao Yuerong went directly into the back room. Etiquette is very strict these days. She is a female family member. It is not suitable for her to stay in the room to meet outsiders and should be avoided.

Xia Yuan closed the door and said to Sage Wang who was standing next to him: "Brother Wang, I have told you several times, it seems that I am the one who said it about the unity of knowledge and action, and about the mind being rational.

Actually, that's not what I said at all.

So regarding the questions raised by these two sentences, don’t come to me all the time. I really don’t understand. If you have the time to think about it yourself, it will definitely work wonders.”

"."

Wang Shouren did not respond or say anything. He paused, took out a piece of paper full of handwriting from his arms, and handed it over.

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, then curiously took it and looked at it, and then found that this guy really thought about it, and wrote an article about the study of mind in more than a thousand words.

Through the unity of knowledge and action, Xinjiali extends a whole set of thought system, and then elaborates it systematically.

Reading this article line by line, Xia Yuan soon felt that it seemed familiar. The content described in it and the thoughts expressed were very similar to the mature Yangming Xinxue of later generations.

He is worthy of being a saint to think of so many things in just two sentences.

Oh, no, these thoughts were originally his.

Guessing that Xia Yuan had read it almost, Wang Shouren hesitated and asked, "What do you think of this article?"

"I don't know, don't ask me, and don't call me sir, I don't deserve it."

Wang Shouren followed the good example and asked, "What do you think, young master?"

"." This time it was Xia Yuan's turn to remain silent. He sat down on the chair and made up his mind not to make any comments or talk to this guy about anything about Xin Xue.

I feel so unjust when I talk about it. When I met this guy for the first time, I was so excited that I shouted, "You are Wang Yangming, the Wang Yangming who unites knowledge and action!"

Is there a problem with shouting this?

Xia Yuan felt that there was no problem at all. When later generations mentioned Sage Wang, the phrase "the unity of knowledge and action" was either a prefix or a suffix. In short, it must have appeared together with the three words Wang Yangming.

Besides, what is Wang Yangming’s identity? He is the last saint in China.

Everyone must be excited when they see him. Just like after seeing Monkey King, he must shout excitedly, "You are Sun Wukong, the Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace!"

It's completely the same property.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Xia Yuan remained silent, Wang Shouren said to himself: "Sir, you said before that knowledge and action are one, and that the heart is the reason."

"I did not say."

"."

Wang Shouren ignored him and continued: "Wang was naturally overjoyed when he heard these two sentences, but since that day when I learned that the mind is reason, I have new doubts.

Since the mind is reason, then what is the mind? That time I bumped into Mr., I wanted to shamelessly ask for advice, but Mr. didn’t answer, so I thought about it carefully by myself after I went back."

I definitely won't answer.

Xia Yuan complained in his heart, are these people who can be saints all weird?

What is reason?

The heart is reason.

What is the heart?

If he really answers, will this guy have new questions about what that thing is?

Good guy, where are you with these infinite matryoshka dolls?

"After thinking about it for a few days, I felt that this heart should be the place where the conscience of good and evil resides. It is the inherent thought of right and wrong in human beings. Then I thought again, "The Great Learning" says: Knowledge comes from studying things. So, is this knowledge a conscience?"

Speaking of this, Wang Shouren paused and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

".I don't know, whatever you say is what it is."

"Studying things to develop knowledge is the same as studying things to develop conscience."

When Wang Shouren said this, his voice was soft, but his tone was very firm. Obviously, he had made his thoughts clear and would stick to this thought and move forward unswervingly.

Zhu Xi explained that studying things to achieve knowledge is to study any object and then obtain knowledge.

At that time, he believed Zhu Xi's evil deeds and went to cut bamboos for seven days. Not only did he not gain any knowledge, but he also got sick.

It can be seen that the bad old man is very bad, and he is obviously trying to fool the stupid boy.

Therefore, investigating things to achieve knowledge does not mean as Zhu Xi explained, nor does inquiry mean exhaustive investigation or observation.

The grid is a standard, a test of right and wrong, good and evil, and a ruler.

This is used to rectify all things in the world and measure right and wrong. This right and wrong will directly point to the conscience in the heart.

"The one who leads to good knowledge is the good knowledge in my heart, which preserves the good and eliminates the evil!"

Hearing this, Xia Yuan almost couldn't help but clap his hands and applauded, feeling like he was witnessing history.

The famous Zhiliangzhi appeared, Niubi, my old Wang Beibi.

"What do you think, sir?"

"I thought you should go back as soon as you finished pretending. I'm quite busy."
