Why did Wang Yangming's "Gezhu" end in failure?

Judging from the development history of science in China, Wang Yangming's denial of "learning from others" seems to have a negative impact. "Learning from the Book of Rites" means "learning from things", in which "things" means research, "things" means objective things, "success" means acquisition and "knowledge".

In the era of Zhu, he advocated "the theory of poverty", that is, he summed up a universal law through the understanding of a large number of phenomena. Zhu's Neo-Confucianism, among other things, is the correct embodiment of understanding things.

But when Wang Yangming arrived, what he wanted to practice was how to be poor. So he sat quietly in his college for seven days, observing (even if he observed) bamboo, trying to realize the truth of bamboo. He forgot to eat and sleep, stared at it, sat still and fell ill, but never realized the truth of bamboo.

This is the origin of the story of "Wang Yangming's checkered bamboo". It should be said that Wang Yangming is quite good at doing this experiment. Later generations of Liang Qichao, Sun Yat-sen and Tao Xingzhi were all influenced by him. I suggest that the landlord friends read his comments. Shou Rengong is a "perfect man". For more than 300 years in the Ming Dynasty, no one ruled the army by a civilian.

Get on the horse as a general and dismount as a teacher.

Literature can secure the world, set the latitude and longitude, and defend the country.

Perfect for him.

His poems are also first-rate.

Just because of his philosophical achievements, his talent was covered up.
