[2] Wang Shouren was born in Chenghua, Ming Xianzong for eight years. 1 1 I grew up under the guidance of my grandfather Wang Lun years ago. Later, he went to Beijing with his father Wang Hua. He was once keen on riding and shooting, and later studied the art of war. 18 years old, he visited Lou Liang (1422 ~ 149 1) on his way back to Yuyao, and Lou Liang introduced Zhu's personality theory and the idea that saints can learn, which inspired him a lot. At the age of 2 1, he took part in the rural entrance examination and read through Zhu's works. At the age of 28, he was a scholar, worked in the Ministry of Industry, and later served as the director of the Yunnan Qing official department of the Ministry of Punishment.

In the year of Zheng Deyuan (1506), eunuch Zhu Houzhao succeeded to the throne, and eunuch Liu Jin took power. For resisting Dai and others, he called Liu and others traitors, and was later imprisoned by Liu Jin, and was soon demoted to Longchang, Guizhou. In three years, he had an important ideological change, thinking that the sage's way is self-sufficient, so he broke through Zhu's theory of knowing things and thought that reason is human psychology, and founded Longgang Academy in the local area. Xi Shu, assistant minister of Guizhou, invited him to give lectures at Guiyang Institute of Civilization, where he first published the theory of the unity of knowledge and action.

After Liu Jin's punishment, he served as the director of Sichuan official department of Nanjing criminal department, the official department of Beijing official department, the foreign elected Yuan Wailang, and the official department of Kao Gong. Later, he was promoted to Shao Qing of Taibu Temple in Nanjing, and told disciples Xu Ai and others about his new theory of university study style and the integration of knowledge and action. Later compiled by Xu Ai, it became Biography. In the eighth year, Zheng De went to Chuzhou to supervise the administration of Ma, and the scale of giving lectures became larger and larger. For a time, he emphasized meditation and asked to check and rule the place where he thought. In the eleventh year, Zheng De was promoted to the provincial capital of Gannan and was ordered to suppress the peasant uprising in Gannan. After the success of military repression, he emphasized ideological rule and attached importance to education, and put forward the idea that "it is easy to break a mountain thief, but difficult to break a heart thief" and restored the ruling order in Gannan. During this period, he built Lianxi Academy in Ganxian, carved an ancient version of "University", and printed and published Zhu's final opinion in his later years, and his disciples published Biography. In the fourteenth year of Zheng De, he was promoted to the right deputy capital of Douchayuan. In June, he ordered soldiers to crusade against the Zhu rebellion in Nanchang. It only takes 35 days to capture Chen Hao alive. He summed up the experience from his own experience and put forward the academic purpose of "to conscience", which he thought was derived from hundreds of deaths and sufferings. Believe these three words, draw inferences from others and take the helm.

After Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, he served as Counsellor of Nanjing Ministry of War Shangshu and became a new official. At this time, Wang Shouren, who was attacked and excluded by the opposition, begged for refuge in this province and lived in seclusion from the 16th year of Zheng De to the 6th year of Jiajing (1527). In the meantime, he constantly updated his biography, built Jishan Academy, and his disciples founded Yangming Academy. His theory of "pulling the source from the source", a series of important letters and the second volume of Biography are all works of this period. Disciples also engraved Records of Mr. Yangming and Juyi Collection for him.

In May of the sixth year of Jiajing, the court used Wang Shouren to suppress the uprising of Guangxi ethnic minorities. When the rebel leader learned that Wang Shouren was leading troops to beg, he simply surrendered. After the victory, in order to strengthen ideological rule, Wang Shouren founded Nanning Academy and Sitian School, which promoted Confucianism. Before he went to Guangxi, he recorded "University Question", which comprehensively expounded his philosophical thoughts.

In the seventh year of Jiajing, he was seriously ill and went to visit Sejong again. When Wang Shouren heard this, he wrote a letter asking for an official. Before the court could reply, he tied his clothes and left. At the beginning of the following year, on the way back to China, he died in Nan 'an, Jiangxi.
