Everyone knows that in history, the three li talents of "li de, li ren, and meritorious service" are called saints and perfect people, of which Wang Yangming is a recognized sanli sage.
His ideas not only had a far-reaching influence in China, such as Xu Wei, Feng Menglong, Huang Zongxi, Zeng Guofan, Liang Qichao, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Taiyan and other historical figures, but also spread overseas, even abroad.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > in fact, not only Wang Yangming himself is fierce, but even his disciples are different from ordinary people. </h1>
Although this was influenced by the factors of the social environment and social atmosphere at that time, it was more influenced by Wang Yangming's personal practice and the idea of "unity of knowledge and action"
From the Zhengde and Jiajing periods, there were more and more heroic generations in the Ming Dynasty, confucianism began to transform, and the trend of chivalry, theft and Confucianism was integrated.
To use a sentence to describe: light life and death, low etiquette, heavy commitment.
People with this kind of personality are generally called "Confucian heroes" by the Ming Dynasty.
One of the most famous Confucian heroes is one of the "two kings" under Wang Yangming, Wang Geng, the founder of the Taizhou School, and Li Zhen, a mad man and famous thinker of the Ming Dynasty, who commented: "This duke is a chivalrous guest... Bear the spirit of death without remorse. ”
Wang Gen
How does Wang Gen teach students?
One day, Wang Gen and his student Xu Fan went out, and on the way they encountered a deep ditch, three or four meters high and three or four meters wide, and fell down either dead or injured.
Wang Geng said directly to his disciple Xu Yue, "You jump over me!" ”
Xu Fan looked at the deep ditch, afraid to jump, but the teacher repeatedly forced, had to open up, help run and then jump through the deep ditch.
Wang Geng shouted, "This is my disciple." ”
Both of them were true Confucians at that time, and Xu Fan later even became a political envoy in Yunnan, and died in Battle in Yunnan.
Xu Fan
Xu Fan's disciple Yan Jun (who first studied with Xu Lu for three years, and then was introduced by Xu Lu to Wang Gen's disciples, also considered Xu Lu's disciple), because he repeatedly asked for the people's life, offended many gentry bureaucrats, and as a result, on the way back from buying a boat, he was lured to the Taiping Mansion to teach, and woven a crime of "stealing and selling official ships", whipped fifty whips, was killed several times, and was imprisoned for three years, the disciple Luo Rufang sold his property, plus Yan Jun was also a great Confucian in the world, there were a group of protégés who were old, and finally rescued Yan Jun from prison. Instead, it was issued to frontier Shubian, and Yan Jun was already 66 years old at this time.
When he learned the news that his teacher Xu Fan had died in Battle in Yunnan, he went to Yunnan alone, traveled for several years, found part of the remains of his teacher Xu Fan, and brought them back to be buried next to the tomb of Teacher Wang Geng.
Yan Jun was released from prison at the age of 66, and died of illness at the age of 93, and for nearly thirty years, despite his old age and physical decline, he insisted on preaching and lecturing.
Yan Jun
Yan Jun's disciple He Xinyin is even more famous, the Ming Dynasty has a saying called: "Manchu Dynasty Jinshi Half Jiangxi", Jiangxi Jinshi has a very large proportion in the Ming Dynasty, and He Xinyin won the first place in the Jiangxi Township Examination when he was 30 years old, and was known as "the wizard of the world".
Later, because he admired Wang Yangming, the Great Confucian, and studied the Taizhou School of Thought diligently, he actually gave up the imperial examination and studied under Yan Jun.
After completing his studies, he did not want to leave the school, and went directly back to the township to establish the aggregation hall, which is an organization similar to modern intensive co-operative, in which the social transformation plan is carried out according to its own ideals. To this end, he sold all his family property, and other members who participated also needed to donate and donate a certain amount of property, which was a bit of a collective commune, and unified to deal with the Ming Dynasty government, resist the various exploitations of the bureaucracy, and also created the concept of social transformation in public schools, which can be regarded as the earliest forerunner of utopianism.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Wang Yangming - Wang Geng - Xu Fan - Yan Jun - He Xinyin, are both literate and martial, and have a strong mind. </h1>
If the Confucians of the Ming Dynasty were all such werewolves who were both literate and martial, who had both wisdom and courage, and who were mentally determined, what would happen to the Ming Dynasty in the late Ming and late Ming dynasties? Unfortunately, history cannot be assumed.
