The first season of "China in the Classics" ended perfectly yesterday, and the image of Wang Yangming, a brother of the Ming Dynasty, was vividly interpreted by actor Xin Baiqing, which was very three-dimensional. When watching the program, we found that many viewers in the "bullet screen" still felt that they were still unfinished and wanted to know more about Wang Yangming through other channels, but they did not know where to start. Hope today's tweets have helped you.
Wang Yangming was born in a family of scholars, to the far end, his family lineage can be traced back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Langya Wang clan, closer to say, his grandfather Wang Lun was a famous local celebrity, because he liked bamboo, the number of bamboo Xuan, known as the Duke of Zhuxuan, and his father Wang Hua, was the seventeenth year of Chenghua. Since his birth, Wang Yangming has been pinned on high hopes. According to relevant records, his mother Zheng Shi was pregnant until he was fourteen months pregnant. When he was born, his grandfather named him Wang Yun, and the small building where he was born was called "Ruiyun Building" by the locals.
Wang Yangming has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, but to the uneasiness of his family, he still cannot speak until he is five years old. One day, a monk passed by and said, "Good child, but unfortunately the road is broken." To put it bluntly, it is the word "cloud" in the name "Wang Yun", which breaks the heavenly opportunity. Zhu Xuangong suddenly realized, so he changed his name to Wang Shouren. Unexpectedly, as soon as the name was changed, Wang Yangming could speak immediately, and he was actually able to blurt out the words in the classic works that Grandpa had read, Zhu Xuangong was very surprised, asked him how he did it, he said Grandpa, when you are reading in the old man's home, I silently wrote it down on the side. He later stayed in a place called Yangmingdong, calling himself Yang Mingzi, and later everyone called him Mr. Yang Ming, also known as Wang Yangming. (For the above records, see the Zhonghua Bookstore edition of "Wang Wencheng Gongquan Book, Appendix I" and "Wang Yangming Collection, Appendix I")

In "China in the Classics", Wang Yangming's familiarity with military books and proficiency in the art of war has been repeatedly emphasized, especially the scene of the Nanchang rebellion of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ningning, has left a very deep impression on the audience, but there is also a fact that the program does not present, that is, Wang Yangming not only has outstanding military achievements and military ability, but also left works in related aspects, the most representative of which is "Wang Yangming's Annotation of the Seven Books of the Martial Classics".
The "Seven Books of the Martial Classics", including "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "LiuTao", "Huangshi Gongsanluo", "Wei Jizi", "WuZi", "Sima Fa", and "Li Weigong's Questioning", can be said to be the most brilliant pearls in the military literature. The biggest feature of Wang Yangming's annotation is that he integrates his mental thinking into it, such as the annotation to the "Liutao Wenshi" "Hey hey hey ambiguity, its light will be far away": "Look at the phrase 'hey hey hey ambiguity', and the general meaning of "Tao" has become self-evident. "Hey hey hey obscuration" refers to the mental state of not being obscured by selfish desires, that is, "not moving the heart", wang Yangming believes that this is the essence of the book "Liutao". The only one who can combine military science and mind study is probably Mr. Yang Ming.

"Li Weigong asked for proofreading"
Qian Mu believes that the Book of Transmission and Practice is one of the seven classics that Chinese must read. Liang Qichao said that Mr. Xue Yangming's thoughts should be read in the "Records of Transmission and Practice". Wang Yangming's main philosophical views, such as conscience, unity of knowledge and action, mind is reason, and four sentences of teaching, are all reflected in the "Records of Transmission and Practice", and it can be said that after reading the book, I also understood most of Wang Yangming. So, how should readers accurately and efficiently read the Book of Ecclesiastes? We solemnly recommend Mr. Wang Xiaoxin's Translation of the Transmission of Xilu.
Mr. Wang Xiaoxin is the president of the Yangming Studies Society of Guizhou Province and the vice president of the Guizhou Yangming Cultural Research Institute, and has long been engaged in the collation and research of Yangming literature, including "The Collected Works of Mr. Yangming", "The Complete Book of Wang Wencheng" (its simplified character is "Wang Yangming Collection"), and the author of "Yangming Studies and Yangming Culture". Through the long-term sorting and research of Yangming literature, the author can not only grasp the development context of Yangming thought as a whole, but also accurately annotate it in detail, which is extremely helpful for in-depth understanding of technical terms in some philosophical fields.
"Mr. Yang Ming's Collection"
In addition to the accurate translation, the book also has a very obvious feature, that is, a very detailed table of contents and noun indexes are produced, which can help readers navigate accurately and quickly find what they want to know. For example, the two core views of Yang Mingxue, "To conscience" and "unity of knowledge and action", both mention "knowledge", so what are the connotations of "knowledge" in the "Records of Transmission"? Open the last few pages of the index and you'll see something like this:
To the Conscience (To the Knowledge, To its extremes) :(8)(118)(135)(136)(137)(138)(139)(140)(147)(163)(168)(170)(171)(179)(183)(185)(187)(188)(189)(190)(201)(206)(222)(239)(243)(253)(262)(280)(284)(318)(319)(320)(326)(320)(330) Zhi Ge: (8) (134) (135) (137) (138) (140) (148) (162) (164) (167) (169) (170) (174) (189) (210) (211) (212) (225) (283) (305) (317) (327) Knowledge (Knowledge) :(8)(71)(78)(85)(95)(118)(119)(126)(134)(137)(174)(227)(282)(289)(290)(295) Knowing what is known, benevolence cannot be kept: (321) Perception: (101) (134) (195) (201) (213) (322) Zhi Feng: (134) Knowing is the idea of doing, and doing is the kung fu of knowing: (5) Knowledge is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge: (5) Zhitian: (6)(134)(136)(192) Zhixing: (26)(133)(136)(137)(165)(291)
……
At a glance, you will know that this is the noun and term that is prefixed with "zhi" in the Book of Transmissions. The number in parentheses is the subheading number given by the translator for each text, such as "(8)", which is the eighth part of the text. Correspondingly, in order to facilitate the search for the specific page number of each article, we have compiled a detailed directory that looks like this:
"Chuan Xi Lu Shang", that is, the "upper volume" in the "first volume", "middle volume", "lower volume" of the "Chuan Xi Record", the following "one", "two", "three", etc. are the chapter serial numbers, and the "(9)" after "one" represents the page number where the article is located, that is, the first article is on the ninth page of the book. In this way, by combining the index and the table of contents, we can quickly locate the exact location.
In the program, there are repeated two sentences representing Wang Yang's idea of knowing and acting, namely "knowing is the idea of doing, and doing is the kung fu of knowing", and "knowing is the beginning of doing, and acting is the completion of knowledge", through the index of this book, it can be known that they are all in chapter 5 of the "Chuan Xi Record", and then check the table of contents, you know that it is from page 19, which is simply too convenient to use. Turn to it and you'll see detailed notes and explanations.
Mr. Yang Ming's idea of "unity of knowledge and action" is very rich, such as the index of the word "knowledge" shown above, which has:
Knowing what is known, benevolence cannot be kept. It is difficult to know, and it is difficult to act. The truth of knowing is doing, and the clear awareness of doing is knowing.
If you want to truly understand the rich connotation and true meaning of Wang Yangming's idea of "unity of knowledge and action", you also need to carefully read the book "Commentary on the Translation of Chuan XiLu". In order to fully understand Mr. Yang Ming's life's morality, meritorious service, and speech, and how he achieved the "three immortals", you also need to see the "Wang Wencheng Gongquan Book" or "Wang Yangming Collection".
