There is neither good nor evil in our hearts. First of all, we must start from the heart. There was a distinction between good and evil from the beginning.
All Wang Yangming's theories revolve around "no good and no evil" and "starting from the heart".
Wang Yangming was educated by Confucianism, and his mind was also expressed by Confucianism. Of course, only in this way can people at that time accept it better and understand it better.
The "unity of knowledge and action" advocated by Wang Yangming is actually the Zen displayed. And "to conscience" is actually Bodhi (Bodhi: Wisdom and Realm) in Buddhism.
First, the enlightenment of Wang Shouren's educational idea to modern education.
Wang Shouren's educational thought was put forward and put into practice at that time when the imperial examination was supreme and the school emphasized rote learning and neglected all-round development. This is also the essence of his educational thought. His educational thoughts mainly include the following aspects:
Pay attention to children's all-round development
In addition to attaching importance to the traditional "reading" course to develop children's intelligence, he also advocated the establishment of "songs and poems", "rituals" and "exams".
(two) according to the characteristics of children to carry out education and teaching activities.
Modern psychology believes that children's intentional attention is unstable, easily distracted and diverted by external factors, able to concentrate for a short time and very interested in new things. It's boring for children to read and study blindly. Children are active at the same time, which is the characteristic and law of children's development. Therefore, the course arrangement should be loose, dynamic and static, and the teaching form and content should be constantly changed, so that manual labor and mental labor can be coordinated.
Pay attention to children's individual differences
People's personalities vary widely, and education should give appropriate guidance according to students' individual differences. "A saint teaches people, not only to bind him to do everything, but a madman will achieve him from madness, and a stubborn person will achieve him from embarrassment. How can people get the same talent? " In terms of children's education, Wang Shouren attaches great importance to children's individual differences. He believes that teaching should vary from person to person, from person to person, and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
Extended data:
The connotation of Wang Yangming's theory of "unity of knowledge and action" has three main points:
First, knowing and doing is only a matter of time and cannot be separated. The so-called "hard work" is the process of understanding and practice.
Second, the relationship between knowledge and action is interdependent: knowledge is the starting point of action and guides it, while real knowledge is not only feasible, but also already in action; Behavior is the destination and realization of knowledge, and real behavior has its own awareness and insight at work.
Thirdly, the fundamental purpose of "doing" in the process of knowing and doing is to completely overcome "evil thoughts" and achieve perfection, which is essentially a process of moral cultivation and practice.
Obviously, Wang Yangming's so-called "knowledge" is "the meaning of my conscience", and his so-called "action" is the moral practice of "the meaning of my conscience is higher than things". It can be said that Wang Yangming's theory of "unity of knowledge and action" is essentially a moral humanistic philosophy integrating morality, ethics and politics.
