Chapter 31 Unity of knowledge and action

"I hope little brother will stay. I would like to ask you for advice on the calculation just now."

The voice is slightly deep, but extremely peaceful, slow and magnetic.

Just by listening to the voice, it's hard to feel bad for the owner of the voice, even if he's tugging on your sleeve very rudely.

How many times has this happened?

Is this the first time someone has pulled your sleeve?

Xia Yuan felt that people in the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a problem with pulling their sleeves. It must be because the cuffs of this straight jacket were too big, so I cut them off later.

After deciding the fate of the sleeves, Xia Yuan turned his gaze from the sleeves to the person who spoke.

There was a man who looked a little lean, wearing a blue-grey robe that looked a bit like a Taoist robe, with a turban on his head. He might be in his twenties or thirties in age.

He has a short beard on his chin, slightly bulging temples, and a bit bulging cheekbones on his face. The most striking thing is his eyes, which look very deep and wise, but his overall impression is dull.

, and a little bit not very smart.

Such a complex temperament.

Xia Yuan looked this person up and down, and got a vague impression. When he was making calculations just now, this person seemed to have been watching from the side.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Wang Shouren."

Wang Shouren?

The one who sells thirteen incense?

Hearing this name, Xia Yuan inexplicably thought of Thirteen Incenses. Hey, were there Thirteen Incenses in the Ming Dynasty?

Just as he was thinking about it, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "You are Wang Yangming, the Wang Yangming who unites knowledge and action!"

"?"

Wang Shouren was stunned after hearing this. Who is Wang Yangming, and what is this unity of knowledge and action?

Dong Zhongshu, Lu Xiangshan, Cheng Yi and other great Confucian scholars all believed in knowing first and then acting. Even Zhu Sheng also praised and followed this idea, but this little Xianggong said that knowing and doing are one.

Unity of knowledge and action?

Well, knowledge and action are one.

Wang Shouren couldn't help but start thinking. When he heard these four words for the first time, he felt that they were inconsistent with the teachings of the saints. But after chewing on these four words carefully, he felt that they had profound meaning.

There was even an irresistible magic that tempted him to think deeply.

But the more I think about it, the more I sink into it, and then I sink deeper and deeper into it.

"Knowing and doing are one, knowing and doing are one, knowing and doing are one, knowing and doing are one." Wang Shouren seemed to have lost his mind. At this time, he could no longer tolerate anything else in his eyes. In his eyes, there was nothing in the whole world except

Those four words are left.

Those four words were the ones he kept mumbling in his mouth.

Unity of knowledge and action.

"Brother Wang? Brother Wang? Sage Wang? Yang Mingzi?"

At this moment, Xia Yuan was naturally overjoyed, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words. Damn it, he was still alive after seeing the saint.

But he soon discovered that something was not right. To be precise, something was wrong with Saint Wang.

Xia Yuan waved his hand in front of the other party and changed his names several times, but Wang Shouren's eyes never focused. Only his lips kept moving, muttering about the unity of knowledge and action, which gave people the impression of being foolish and foolish.

.

It is now the autumn of August in the 14th year of Hongzhi's reign in the Ming Dynasty, and there are still seven full years before Wang Yangming's Longchang Enlightenment in history.

At this point in time, Saint Wang seemed to be crazy.

What's more important is that he seems to be driving himself crazy.

I remember that this guy's father was the top scholar, a pretty high-ranking official. He himself passed the Jinshi exam two years ago and is now an official.

This is embarrassing.

Xia Yuan retracted his hand and looked around. Although there were many pedestrians coming and going at the door of the study, no one seemed to notice what was going on here. Maybe they noticed but didn't pay attention.

After all, the two people were standing face to face, and there was no quarrel or physical conflict.

"Brother Wang, I have to leave beforehand. After you finish basking in the sun, you should go home early. Don't keep your uncle and aunt waiting. That's it. Let's contact you again."

Xia Yuan took the time to pat Wang Shengren on the shoulder, said this to himself, and then turned around and left without looking back.

After walking far away, he looked back again. Through the crowd, among the shadows, he could vaguely see the Great Sage Wang still standing there without moving. Not only did he not move, he seemed to be laughing.

The laughter could be heard even from such a distance.

It's over, this is really crazy.

Xia Yuan silently covered his face, what a sin.

In the future, I want to leave my name in history, and leave a strong mark in the history books. In the autumn of the 14th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, on the eve of the provincial examination, I said a few words to Wang Yangming, and then drove the saint crazy.

Hey, if people are crazy, can they still become saints?

Yes, how can someone who is crazy be a saint?

That means.

He commits more sins himself.

Damn it, I need to go now.

"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful, the unity of knowledge and action, such a unity of knowledge and action!"

At the door of the study, Wang Shouren was indeed laughing like crazy, causing the passers-by around him to stop and cast strange looks at him.

But the great sage Wang suddenly didn't realize it and continued to laugh as if no one else was around.

The unity of knowledge and action, the unity of knowledge and action!

Know before you act, and predict before you act.

Act before you know, act before you know.

It’s wrong, none of it is right, it’s all wrong, it’s too one-sided.

Only knowing and doing are unified, knowing in doing, and acting in knowing.

This is a great saying!

These four words are like a key, opening the door to a new world. Behind that door is an extremely vast world.

Although there is nothing in this piece of heaven and earth, it will definitely not collapse, because these few four characters are enough to be the pillars that support this square of heaven and earth.

Wang Shouren felt that a whole new world was beckoning to him.

In this way, the study of things and their principles seems to be transparent.

This is the reason

Well.

Wang Shouren began to ponder again.

Where is the reason?

What is reason?

Since knowledge and action are unified, this is the principle.

"Dare you ask the young gentleman about this?"

It was difficult to figure it out for a moment. Wang Shouren bowed deeply with a solemn face, pretending to be sincerely asking for advice, and even addressed him as "Little Sir". But as soon as he bent down, he suddenly froze, "Hey,

Where are the people?”

Where are people?
