"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, civil servants won by fighting, and there was no such thing as benevolence." Is this evaluation objective?

Some people say that in the history of China, there are only two and a half people with the most outstanding virtues, contributions and opinions. These two and a half people are Confucius and Wang Yangming, plus Zeng Guofan (half). It is also said that there are only two people in China who can be called saints! These two men are Confucius and Wang Yangming. Others said: In the history of China, the literati regarded three people as the most important soldiers! These three people are: Zhuge Liang, Wang Yangming and contemporary Mao Zedong!

"The History of Ming Dynasty" once said, "The civil servants won by war in the late Ming Dynasty, and there were no benevolent people." . In other words, before the Ming Dynasty, no one was better than Wang Mingyang, who was both a scholar and good at fighting.

It is also said that Japan's rapid rise is comparable to that of European and American powers, all because of the success of the Meiji Restoration. However, the reason for the success of Meiji Restoration is not because of the extraordinary political skills of Emperor Meiji of Japan, nor because the Tokugawa family is incompetent, but because the Japanese completely imitate Wang Yangming. In Japan, Yangming school was once regarded as an "outstanding school", which greatly promoted its innovation movement and even became the most important spiritual weapon in the Meiji Restoration.

There is a famous Japanese reformist who defeated beiyang fleet and the Russian navy in the Qing Dynasty, setting a precedent for the yellow race in the east to defeat the white race in the west in modern history. He enjoys the reputation of "Nelson of the East" in the world, and is called the ever-victorious general of Japanese militarism together with Nogi Maresuke of the army.

This is Tougou Heihachirou.

This general, known as the God of the Army, always carries a seal with seven words engraved on it: "Bow to Yangming all my life."

China, a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, left a deep impression on Tougou Heihachirou!

Japanese reformists all worship Wang Yangming.

In China, many people compare Wang Mingyang to Zhuge Liang, Confucius and Mao Zedong.

So what kind of person is Wang Yangming?

Wang Yangming's surname is Wang and his name is Yun. Later, his grandfather changed his name to Shouren, the word Boan, from Yuyao, Zhejiang. His ancestors were a scholar, and his father Wang Huashi lived in the Three Dynasties and taught him filial piety. Born in the eighth year of Chenghua in Ming Xianzong (A.D. 1472), he died in the seventh year of Jiajing in Sejong (A.D. 1528) at the age of 57. He built a room in Yangming Cave before his death, so scholars called him Mr. Yangming.

Twelve-year-old, Yang Ming started his career, and his personality is bold and unrestrained. He once said, "Reading is a saint." Thirteen-year-old mother died. Eighteen-year-old philosopher Lou Liang (No.1 Zhai) listened to Zhu Xi's Biology, and after seven days and nights, he found nothing, so he turned to study Ci. At the age of twenty-two, you should try to fall into Sun Shan, and you can't be promoted to Jinshi until you are twenty-eight.

During this period, Yangming read extensively, read the art of war, and also studied Taoist health preservation. Facing the situation of exam-oriented study, he had the plan to leave the world and enter the mountains. But on second thought, man was born by his parents, and the road could not be separated from the social crowd, so he returned to Confucianism. I started enrolling students at the age of 34.

At the age of thirty-five, seeing that the imperial court was dominated by Liu Jin, an official, Ming Wuzong indulged in pleasure, so he was outspoken and was sent to prison to serve as an official in Longchang, Guizhou.

At the age of 37, I went to Chen Chang and Longchang, Guizhou. The truth of understanding things and knowing things. This is the beginning of Yangming's mind. From then on, he left Zhu Xue and went to subjectivism.

Thirty-eight years old, giving lectures in Guiyang Academy. Began to put forward the theory of unity of knowledge and action.

At the age of 39, he was promoted to Luling County Order.

43 years old, revealing the slogan of upholding justice and eliminating human desires.

Forty-seven years old, he carved a bachelor's degree in China ancient literature, and concluded with Zhu in his later years. Jianlianxi Academy. In the same year, Master Xue Kan carved a biography.

At the age of 48, Yangming ordered the suppression of Wang's rebellion. He was angered by eunuchs and falsely accused of rebellion.

At the age of 50, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province first revealed the word "conscience". From then on, Yangming's philosophical thought was completely mature and stereotyped. This mature idea is more concise than before.

Fifty-three-year-old, master Nantucket continued his biography.

Fifty-six years old, Zou Shouyi carved the text.

57 years old, died in Nan 'an.

In the book Those Things in the Ming Dynasty, Mingyue described it like this after Yu Qian was killed:

"There are many powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty, and I made a ranking for these figures. Yu Qian should be ranked second. Although some figures in the Ming Dynasty have achieved great achievements as much as or even more than Yu Qian, their rankings are also behind Yu Qian. This is because there are two criteria for evaluation: conduct and talent. Although some people's talents are indeed better than modesty, their conduct is flawed. For example, the political problems of Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang and the economic problems of Comrade Zhang. The most rare thing about Yu Qian is that he is not only brilliant, but also almost impeccable morally. How many people have both ability and political integrity throughout the ages!

Not surprisingly, Yu Qian should be in the first place. Unfortunately, after him, another master was born. This man is not only civil and military, but also intelligent and brave, and he is all kinds of people, all kinds of people know everything, and he is a wizard who has never left the world. For this man, the title of hero seems to be no longer applicable, because in the eyes of many people, there is a more suitable title for him-sage. "

Wang Yangming, the only saint in the Ming Dynasty, stopped at the top of the mountain!

In the modern history of China, many people worshipped Wang Yangming:

Zeng Guofan, the famous minister of ZTE in Qing Dynasty, Liang Qichao, the main figure of reformists, Hu Shi, the master of Chinese studies, Chen Duxiu and Mao Zedong, the leaders of the early * * * production party, all worshipped Mr. Wang Yangming very much.

For example, Mr. Liang Qichao wrote "The Teaching of Wang Yangming's Unity of Knowing and Doing".

Liang Qichao's thought was deeply influenced by the traditional Confucianism "Wang Lu Xue Xin", especially Wang Yangming's theory.

In his view, only the "mind" is real. He said: "People who live in the environment are all created by their hearts. Everything is empty, but the environment created by their hearts is real."

"Idle Books and Ideals" also said: "All realms in the world are created by people's hearts."

On Wushu in Xinmin Shuo: "Thinkers are the mother of facts"

This is obviously another way of saying that Wang Yangming has nothing outside his heart and nothing outside his heart.

Chen Duxiu also wrote the article "Explanation of Mr. Wang Yangming's admonition".

Influenced by the theory of "unity of knowledge and action", Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator, resolutely changed his name to Tao Xingzhi.

Mr. Guo Moruo is also an admirer of Wang Yangming, and he has written Wang Yangming, a Great Spiritual Life and Ode to Wang Yangming.

According to Mr. Wang Yuanhua, many of Mao Zedong's early thoughts are very close to Wang Yangming's. When he was young, he obeyed Wang Yangming.

Mao Zedong mentioned in his autobiography that he was an admirer of Wang Yangming when he was young. After studying Wang Yangming's Xin Xue, he wrote a perfect composition The Power of the Heart.

When I was young, I became friends with the former Minister of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, Luo, and once wrote an ancient poem "Send a Lang to the East":

Clouds open, accumulate, and overcast, Tianma Phoenix Chunshu.

Young and troubled, Cai Jia was defeated, and Shanhe was once fascinated by it.

You do what you want, and Kun Peng makes waves from here.

Dongting Xiang ascended to heaven, and the great ship pointed to the East.

I was worried for a whole day for no reason, but I was lucky to be blown by the east wind in Wan Li.

What does the husband care about? He wants to see the universe.

If you cross the sea safely, things will be different from you.

Put aside your body and mind, the sun and the moon will always be new and beautiful in your chest.

Famous in this 500-year-old world, all princes are mediocre.

There are many friendships in front of Lang Ping Palace, and Chongming brings water to Mayi.

I have a book to return to the sword of Japan, so I'm going back to Yajun.

Famous experts analyzed that the poem "Take care of your body and mind and keep the sun and moon beautiful in your chest" is a heartfelt praise for Wang Yangming's "mind learning". "The world is famous for 500 years now, and the princes are useless". No one sighs after Wang Yangming.

The study of Mao Zedong Thought draws the following conclusions:

Mao Zedong Thought's three sources are:

The first is Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties.

The second is Marxism–Leninism.

Third, western modern thought.

Mao Zedong's lifelong rival Chiang Kai-shek is also an admirer of Wang Yangming!

First of all, Chiang Kai-shek's name is related to Zhouyi and Biography of Wang Yangming:

The original meaning of the hexagrams in Zhouyi and Yu says: "righteousness is self-defense, among which it is like a stone." The first volume of Wang Shouren's Biography: "I don't know that Mr. Wu has lived in a foreign country for three years, and his skill has been refined, but he has surpassed the Holy City, and the essence is to regain the son of heaven."

This is the origin of Jiang Gong's name.

Among the ancient thinkers and scholars in China, Chiang Kai-shek admired Wang Shouren (Yangming) and Zeng Guofan most.

After Jiang Jingguo returned from Soviet Russia, Chiang Kai-shek asked him to read Zeng's official letters and the complete works of Wang Yangming.

Chiang Kai-shek respected Wang Yangming's philosophy of "sincerity" and "unity of knowledge and action", and educated Jiang Jingguo to integrate learning experience into daily life, so as to cultivate good habits and abilities.

Under the instruction of Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Jingguo also revered Wang Yangming. He summarized Wang Yangming's ideological spirit into two points: first, "sincerity", that is, "having pure and sincere thoughts"; One is "the unity of knowledge and practice", "Mr. Wang Yangming is not only knowledgeable, but also can put it into practice".

Jiang Jingguo also asked his subordinates to list Wang Yangming and Chiang Kai-shek as the most respectable mentors. 1945 He said, "We should be followers of the headmaster and students of Yangming."

In his later years, Chiang Kai-shek also taught Jiang Jingguo to attach importance to Wang Yangming's mind and Wang Yangming's mind. At the age of 59, Chiang Kai-shek wrote an article specially for him, in which he explained Wang's theory of mind and nature: "More importantly, Wang Yangming's theory of the unity of knowledge and action, that is, out of Lu Xiangshan's simple method, teaches people to invent their own minds first. Only when this heart is established can we cope with the changes in the world. "

Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to Xue Xin in Lu Wang.

……

China's culture is so profound that China people don't know what to inherit!

Therefore, China people are very picky about the treasures left by their ancestors.

As a result, there has been a debate among Confucianism, France and Taoism for thousands of years.

Finally, I picked my eyes and was at a loss!

The Japanese are that simple.

A group of reformists have learned Wang Yangming's "Mind Theory" and clung to it.

Wang Yangming's Biography not only has memories of the reformists, but also books for young students, which eventually became the most important spiritual weapon of the Meiji Restoration!

In the end, the Japanese overthrew the feudal Tokugawa era for more than 500 years, successfully realized the Meiji Restoration, and completed the transition to capitalism by Wang Yangming's thought!

No wonder! Tougou Heihachirou, the Japanese army god, should "devote all his efforts to death".
