In the historical process of the development of Confucianism,the discussion of "how to be sanctified" reached an unprecedented peak during the Song and Ming dynasties.In the Northern Song Dynasty,Zhang Zai advocated that "QiongLi" should be "JinXing" to achieve the "DaXin" situation of "change temperament";Zhou Dunyi proposed to achieve the sage realm of "zhongzheng benevolence" through the cultivation method of "main quietness";Cheng Hao inherited the view of "the joy of Confucian beauty" inherited from Zhou Mao Shu and advocated that the spirit of self-transcendence should be surpassed;Cheng Zhuxue,from Cheng Zi to Zhu Xi,advocated that the goal of the "Tianli" should be reached through the method of the poor of the grid;In the Ming Dynasty,Chen Baisha proposed to take nature as the ancestor and pursue inner freedom.This problem also runs through Wang Yangming's life.After Wang Yangming's middle-aged experience of "LongChang Enlightenment",he truly established the position of mind theory,and thus proposed the theory of "XinwaiWuli".That is,the mind and body of man contain all of heavenly principles,and the direction of seeking heavenly principles is not outside.You should turn your back and ask for it.The establishment of Wang Yangming's ideological position was a reaction to the dilemma of Cheng Zhuxue in the Ming Dynasty.The main battlefield where he played against Cheng Zhuxue in different interpretations of DaXue.The DaXue was originally an article in "Book of Rites",which attracted great attention from scholars during the Tang and Song dynasties.Zhu Xi referred it to the same position as Golden Mean,The Analects,and Mencius and co-edited it into "Four Books ",And later became the official book for the imperial examinations.Wang Yangming opposed Cheng Zhu's addition to the DaXue.He advocated that scholars resume the use of the ancient version of DaXue,and based on the ancient version of DaXue,they had a new understanding and development.Regarding the theory of "knowledge of the things" in the DaXue,Cheng Zhuxue believes that,as far as the subject of practice is concerned,through observing and contacting the object,understanding the rules of the existence and development of things,and then inducing and summarizing them,accumulating in this way Knowledge,to achieve similar bypass,and strive to " Suddenly understand " to realize the principle of nature.Wang Yangming criticized the dichotomy of mind and object in Cheng Zhu's theory.He believed that this would lead to the fragmentation and tediousness of Kung Fu,and deviated from the concept of anti-self-seeking emphasized by pre-Qin Confucianism.The kung fu of the grid should also be implemented on the human heart,removing selfish desires,so as to restore the original appearance of the human heart.In addition to putting forward a new understanding of the kung fu theory of "knowledge of the things",he used the "benevolence" mentioned in the first chapter of the DaXue to develop the theory of mind and body,and interpreted the realm of the saints with "the best".In his later years,Wang Yangming invented his doctrine of "getting to know" through "getting to know".The completion of Wang Yangming's thoughts is inseparable from the DaXue.On this basis,he also put forward the unique "knowledge-do-one" thought and "four sentences teaching" teaching theory.As the master of mind,Wang Yangming's philosophical ideas have spread from the late Ming dynasty to the present,and have influenced both at home and abroad.This article analyzes Wang Yangming's DaXue thoughts from the perspective of ontology,epistemology and effort theory through Wang Yangming's theoretical perspectives on different stages of the DaXue,combined with the development of Wang Yangming's thoughts,and tries to fully show Wang Yangming's thinking and Interpretation.
