The Confucianismcivilians trend is particularly evident during this period, while Wanggen’s philosophyis precisely this feature of the late Ming and Confucianism highlights. Face to theMing government corruption rule and people increasingly difficult life situation,Wanggen actively seeking salvation method. He was convinced that the "conscience"is the entry point to change the social. But he does not content about his teacher’stheory. He believes that "conscience" is nature, so add "to" before the "conscience"will destroy the complete meaning of "conscience". Therefore, he created the"conscience to". And then he focuses on understanding which the most importantthing is and which the less important thing in "Gewu" is. That’s why he put forwardthe idea of "be worldly-wise and play safe"."Be worldly-wise and play safe"emphasizes " respect yourself" values, and tell people how to make the inner original"conscience" to a behavioral methodology.
