Today I will write some content about Nie Bao, and the theme of this article is Nie Bao's appreciation for Wang Yangming, making a tone for their master-apprentice interaction.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, Who is Nie Bao</h1>
Regarding Nie Bao, it is necessary to make an introduction. He was a jinshi in the twelfth year of Zhengde (1517), and successively served as the commander of Huating County, the imperial history, and the Shangshu of bingbu, and was a famous Qing official in the Ming Dynasty.
Nie Bao was not only a good official, but also very talented, writing "Sleepy Discernment Record" and "Shuangjiang Collection", etc., and Nie Bao admired Wang Yangming very much in learning.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, detour to seek advice</h1>
In the spring of the fifth year of Jiajing (1526), Nie Bao went to Fujian on business and passed through Hangzhou by water, when Wang Yangming was really teaching in Shaoxing, Nie Bao disregarded the persuasion of others and made a special detour to Shaoxing to ask for advice from the teacher.
Wang Yangming was very touched by Nie Bao's sincerity in seeking advice on a special trip, and he said in a letter to Nie Bao later: I was very touched by the feeling that I was very touched when you were busy with official duties, taking a detour to listen to the lectures and tirelessly asking for advice.
Originally, Wang Yangming wanted to meet a few like-minded classmates, and together with Nie Bao, find a quiet place, live for more than ten days, discuss the knowledge of conscience, and hope to gain something from the discussion together.
However, because Nie Bao did not have so much time, the business could not be delayed, and he left in a hurry after a short reunion.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3</h1>
But he was always worried about the teacher, so he wrote a letter to Wang Yangming, which had a high evaluation of the teacher, and the words were full of praise.
Nie Bao wrote thousands of words, you must know that in ancient times, writing with a brush, the amount of information in each word of the text was very large, so Nie Bao should have written this letter very carefully.
In the letter, Nie Bao expressed three meanings:
Expressed deep concern for the teacher;
Want the teacher to step into the realm of the sages;
He expressed his strong support for the teacher.
Nie Bao compared Wang Yangming to Zi Si, Mencius, Zhou Dunyi, and Ercheng to motivate the teacher not to care about the world's incomprehension of his teachings.
He hoped that the teacher, like these sages, would not expect to be understood after a thousand years, and that it would not be too much for everyone in the world to believe, and it would not be too little for only one person to believe, which was the so-called gentleman's mentality of "not seeing what is and not boring".
Wang Yangming also expressed three meanings in his reply:
For Nie Bao's evaluation of himself, he did not dare to take it seriously;
Thank Nie Bao for his deep friendship with him;
Although there are hardships, I do not care about the opinions of others.
This is the main tone of Nie Bao and Wang Yangming's emotions, Nie Bao has great respect for the teacher, knows the teacher's good intentions, so he not only understands the teacher, but also tries his best to share the teacher's worries and difficulties.
For Wang Yangming, to have a disciple like Nie Bao, he was very touched in his heart, although Nie Bao himself was only a middle soldier nearly 20 years later, but Nie Bao had both moral integrity and ability, his career was smooth and smooth, and he was mellow and clean, especially in learning to follow the pace of the teacher, which can be said to be Wang Yangming's heart meat.
This article mainly introduces the relationship between Wang Yangming and Nie Bao, which has gone beyond the general master relationship, and Nie Bao can be said to be a loyal disciple of Wang Yangming.
Later, the author will continue to write several theme articles on the interaction between the two, so stay tuned.
