    Personally, Wang Yangming.

    It's even greater. Wang Yangming's Confucianism.

    The interpretation of Confucianism is broad and profound, not only not pedantic, but its essence is applied to education and governing the country through the ages. Today's people don't need to be entangled, just work hard to comprehend thoroughly, everything starts from the heart, distinguishes between right and wrong and intangible, starts from the root, and remembers to abandon the basics. Confucius.

    On the one hand, when the emperors of the past dynasties were at their peak in power, the blow to intellectuals was also the most severe. It is unrealistic to allow ideas that are different from the emperor's purpose to appear, and it is unrealistic to suppress those who have different views from the emperor and kill them at the worst, so that Confucianists can take the risk of killing their heads one after another.

    I think it's Wang Yangming, practical. The unity of knowledge and action, and the practice of things, these are all put into practice in specific things. Suppressing bandits, quelling rebellions, and giving full play to the heart of the heart, overcoming thorns and thorns everywhere they went, the momentum was like a bamboo, and they won a complete victory.

    Wang Yangming was born in a scholarly family, and he does not pursue how big an official is, but only wants to realize his ambitions and make a career. Ambitious, not afraid of power, playing Tai Chi with the absurd emperor, mediating with the eunuchs, fighting wits and courage, and finally achieving his goal. Only Wang Yangming said with a heart when he passed away:

    My heart is bright, what more can I ask for".

    Confucius. When Confucius was alive, he promoted his "benevolence" everywhere, and his life was upside down, and he was not welcomed everywhere, but fortunately, his ideas were handed down, and because he was in line with the wishes of the rulers, he was selected by the rulers of later generations as a high-grade scholar, and the sages were also added by later generations. Confucianism has its natural disadvantages, it can maintain a stable system in times of governance, and it is powerless in times of chaos.

    After the death of Confucius, Confucianism was divided into six schools, among which Mencius Xunzi and other representatives of the heart school in the Northern Song Dynasty combined with Taoism to form science, the birth of science at the beginning of the "heart" and "reason" division, intensified, to the Ming Dynasty Wang Yangming well solved the problem left by science, founded the science of mind, is a great achievement, regardless of the saint or not the saint, its merits are indispensable. Personally, I think that the title of the saint was given by the later generations, so there is no need to dwell on it, if you are interested in his thoughts, just study it. After all, there is still a master in the threesome, not to mention the thoughts of a generation of grandmasters, which are worth studying.

    It must have been Confucius who was greater. Looking at Wang Yangming's theory of mind, all theories are based on the way of Confucius and Mencius. The Confucianism and Taoism of Confucius and Mencius have been continuously studied by later generations, and the progress of science was flourishing during the Song and Ming dynasties, so it can be said that Zhu Xi was the person who completely inherited the way of Confucius and Mencius and carried it forward.

    But at the same time as he carried it forward, science also came to an end.

    Confucius was a famous thinker, politician and educator in the pre-Qin period of China. His life was a legendary one, a glorious one. He played an extremely important role in promoting the formation and development of Chinese civilization.

    Because of his extraordinary character and wisdom, as well as his great contributions and achievements, he was promoted by later generations as the Most Holy Teacher, and the Master of All Ages. I think Confucius is greater, and his influence and status are unshakable.

    Confucius. For Confucius, he directly contributed to the development and revolution of the entire educational enterprise. Confucius's knowledge has been disseminated, inherited, and influenced the world from generation to generation, and Confucius's thought has always been the mainstream thought during China's long feudal history.

    We don't say that Confucius's thought is right or wrong, negative or positive, but it is inevitable that it is profound and far-reaching. This is Confucius, and his influence is extremely extensive and irreplaceable!

    I think that in terms of greatness, it is still Confucius, and the study of mind is just more instructive for individuals. As for which one is great, I think it's very good, because I quickly talked about shuffling the card, what advanced knowledge, it's all very simple, it depends on whether you can do it yourself. What else is the Tao, I think there is nothing in the mind, and all things are the Tao by themselves.

    In addition, it is impossible to understand the mystery only by the study of the mind, and it is necessary for all the sons and hundreds of schools to understand a little.

    Of course, Mr. Yang Ming is greater. There are four schools in the world: science, mind, Taoism, and theology. The study of mind is opposed to the science of science, and it is close to Taoism.

    There shouldn't be such a comparison! It makes no sense to compare the later ancients with the middle ages, and the one who walks in front is the first saint.

    In other words, if you have him in your heart, and he has a great influence on your life, then he is greater for you.

    Of the 10 major men who have influenced the world for thousands of years, there are 3 in my country, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Huineng, and Wang Yangming are the oldest? You must know that without Confucius, our culture is at least a thousand years behind the world, and the ideas and doctrines of Confucius have inherited the past and the future. Everything he has done, no one has surpassed him for thousands of years, and now many people are more knowledgeable than Confucius, but few professors can exceed 3,000 students, let alone teach 72 virtuous people, Wang Yangming I don't know him very well, but in terms of contributions, such as Confucius.

    Wang Yangming and Confucius are great, so who is this great, what is that, this must be prevented from psychology.

  22. Anonymous users2024-01-21

    WangYang Ming's Confucianism is a part of Confucianism, and Confucius's Confucianism has had an impact on China's politics and economy. There are some similarities between the two to a certain extent, but there are also differences in substance.

    1.First, look at their main ideas. The main ideas of Confucian Confucianism are:

    Righteousness, benevolence, loyalty, and fate. The main ideas of Wang Yangming's psychology are: the heart is rational, the unity of knowledge and action, morality, conscience, business, and respect.

    2.Differences in governance policies. Confucius advocated "rule by virtue", and Wang Yangming advocated "heart is reason".

    Confucius's statecraft is also known as "rule by virtue" or "rule by etiquette". Confucius advocated the use of external standards, such as social moral standards, ethical norms, or whether they fulfilled their obligations to bind the people. This strategy applied morality and politeness to the people, breaking with the traditional notion that politeness was no less than that of commoners, and breaking down the important boundaries between nobles and commoners.

    "Etiquette" embodies the spirit of etiquette, that is, order and system in the modern sense.

    On the other hand, Wang Yangming advocates that the heart is the cause. "Thought is the cause," he said.

    The world has something outside of its heart. Is there any reason outside of its heart? Wang Yangming believes that there is no reason if there is no heart.

    The heart is the lawgiver of the universe and the lawgiver of all things. Wang Yangming emphasized "conscience" and "clear morality". Wang Yangming's psychology focuses on one's own heart, and always strives to realize one's inner conscience, so as to reduce the troubles of the outside world.

    However, Confucius's Confucianism requires everyone to follow the rules to do what should be done and must be done. If something is done out of immoral considerations, even if it should be done, the act will not be recognized.

    The Tao of Loyalty and Forgiveness is an important thought of Confucius, which runs through all aspects of Confucius's thought. "I want to establish people, and I want to reach people", that is, loyalty. "Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you", that is, forgiveness.

    Wang Yang knows that the unity of action is to let conscience always pay attention to people's behavior and psychology, and do something without doing anything, so that people will not lose their original hearts, will not be shaken by external things, and become slaves of external things.

    It should be said that each is a family, and it seems to be a family. This requires careful study of Lao Tzu and analysis from the perspective of "existence and non-existence" in order to see the difference between them. Mr. Wang Yangming started the study of mind and was a great prophet who came out of the realm of things.

    His regret is that he is not completely separated from Confucianism, in fact, as long as people study the human heart, people will begin to come out of the darkness and enter the light, pay attention to the quality of the state of mind, the beauty of the state of mind, which in itself is the beginning of breaking away from Confucianism.

    Confucius Confucianism is pseudo-benevolence and courtesy, and talks about the dignity and order of the class. Wang Yangming's psychology focuses on sensibility, and idealism is great. Therefore, Confucianism is a canine and a slave, and the mind is arrogant, and it is completely "how bold a person is, how complete is the matter", which is a bit suitable for the Japanese, and it is a wolf ambition!

    Confucianism is not unique to Confucius, Confucius is the founder of Confucianism, Confucius and his successors developed Confucianism, and the ruling group of later generations evolved Confucianism into Confucianism, Confucianism is a synthesis of Confucianism and Confucianism, so Confucius does not understand Confucianism.

    Wang Yangming's psychology is unique to Wang Yangming, and by stimulating his own thinking talent, he can rationally think about some stubborn diseases in Confucianism that shackle society.

    Personally, I believe that Yangming Xinxue is the true transmission of pre-Qin Confucianism. The difference between Lao Shi and Confucianism lies in the fact that Confucianism can better defend the racial initiative of human beings. Emphasizing that "knowing good and knowing evil is conscience", and believing in the power of conscience; Respect for each life of human beings themselves has the attributes of the Tao, and the human heart is the Tao.

    Wang Yangming's master of the heart, the main ideas put forward are "heart is reason", "unity of knowledge and action", and "to conscience".

    The heart is reason is the fundamental viewpoint of Yang Ming Xinxue, which is to feel the world with the heart. Wang Yangming realized that it was wrong to separate the principles of heaven from the hearts of the people, although people have all kinds of desires, but they are also reasonable, and forcibly suppressing the so-called principles of heaven will never have any effect. Summed up in eight words, it is:

    I am self-sufficient, and I don't ask for anything else."

    The unity of knowledge and action refers to the object conforming to the subject, knowledge refers to scientific knowledge, action refers to human practice, the unity of knowledge and action, neither to swallow and act with knowledge, to think that knowledge is action, nor to swallow knowledge with action, to think that action is knowledge, and the truth of knowing things is inseparable from the application of this truth in reality.

    To conscience: Wang Yangming believes that conscience is the principle of heaven, the best, and the need for light. He later personified "conscience".

    Conscience is the spirit of creation. These spirits gave birth to heaven and earth, created ghosts and gods, and all things were born from it, and nothing can be compared with it.

    Wang Yangming's ontology of "conscience" has two main meanings: first, "conscience" is both subjective and objective, and it is the subject of cognition that unifies the subjective and objective; Second, "conscience" is both the "intellectual mind" that "knows right and wrong" and the "moral mind" that "knows good and evil", but it mainly refers to the moral mind. In short, "conscience" is fundamentally moral consciousness and the ontology of virtue.
