The gentleman said, "Of course. A heart does not mix with the so-called heart. Miscellaneous people and false people. Those who win the hearts of the people are the hearts of the Tao, and those who lose the hearts of the people are the hearts of the people. Cheng Zi said, "People's heart is human desire, and Tao's heart is justice". If we analyze the language, we can get the meaning. Today, it is also double-hearted to say that' the heart of the Tao is the mainstay and the people are obedient'. Human desires do not coexist, and they are dominated by nature, so human desires obey? "
Xu Ai asked: "Zhu said that' the heart of the Tao always unites the whole body, and the heart of the people always follows it'. If we infer from the teacher's teaching of' intensive and single-minded', this statement seems to have drawbacks. "
The gentleman said, "Yes. A heart is just a heart. No desire is the heart of Tao, and desire is the heart of man. If the human heart can make it return to the right path, it is the Tao heart; If the Tao heart loses its legitimacy, it is the human heart. There were no two hearts at first. Mr. Cheng Yi thinks that' human heart is human desire, and Tao heart is righteousness'. At first glance, it seems to separate the heart, but it is actually one heart. As Zhu said, "the heart of the Taoist is the main thing, and the people are obedient", but he believes that there are two kinds of hearts. Heaven and human desire can never coexist. How does heaven govern, and how does human desire follow it? "
The human heart is an ontology. Righteousness is the heart of Tao, which means justice. Illegitimacy is human heart, which means human desire. Removing human desires and preserving justice is only the initial intention.
Zhu wrote in the preface to The Doctrine of the Mean:
Zhu split his heart in two. People have two hearts, one is the Tao heart and the other is the human heart. In Wang Yangming's view, people only have one heart, the right one is the heart of Tao, and the wrong one is the human heart.
According to Zhu's logic, Tao's heart is the principle of nature, and nature is connected with people's hearts, not people's hearts, so there is a saying that Tao's heart is the mainstay and people's hearts are obedient.
What is the relationship between man and Tao in Confucianism?
Humanism takes heaven as an example.
Heaven and man are one, so human heart and Tao heart are one.
