How much happiness does Andy have in life? Wang Yangming fell to the bottom of his life because he was chased by eunuchs after a divination.

To be a celebrity in Ningbo history, Wang Yangming is definitely the benchmark. This great scholar, known as "Confucius, Mencius and Zhu", is known as the "true three immortals", who combines virtue, merit and speech and realizes the highest personality ideal of ancient and modern sages.

On the afternoon of June 28th, at the lecture on "Reading Ningbo" held by Ningbo Reading Society, Wang Yangming's story attracted the audience. Professor Wu, former dean of the School of Humanities of Ningbo University of Technology, part-time researcher of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, and now the host of Yangming Lecture Hall of Dahongying College in Ningbo, shared with the public the anecdote of this ancient "heavyweight" rural sage in Ningbo, especially the relationship between this great scholar and Zhouyi. It turns out that Zhouyi, a wonderful book called "the peak of Chinese studies", is actually the compass of Wang Yangming's turning point in life.

have a meeting

in the past

It was the legendary Confucius who fell in love with it.

He is an energetic young man with extraordinary talent, and he is on his way to success.

It's a legend, so is Wang Yangming.

Always gives a strange and deep impression. Wu Shuo, there are many legends about its origin. The mainstream view is that "man is more sacred and history is three ancient". Sacred refers to Fuxi, Zhou Wenwang and Confucius; The three ancient times are ancient, medieval and near ancient times. Eight diagrams were created in ancient times. In the Middle Ages, eight diagrams became sixty-four hexagrams, which were written, while Confucius preached and interpreted the scriptures.

Attach importance to Confucius. He is probably the most loyal fan of Zhouyi. He not only wrote reading notes, but also praised the Book of Changes, calling it "Tibetan meaning". Praise alone is not enough. Confucius also wrote ten reading notes, which can be said to be ten papers. This is the Book of Changes handed down from later generations, and it is also the best annotation to help future generations understand the Book of Changes.

Confucius' obsession with Yi Zhuan created an idiom:-Bian Wei's three famous works. Ancient books are bamboo slips, fixed in series with tough cowhide ropes. Confucius was obsessed with the Book of Changes and took it with him everywhere. He watched during the day and watched at night, opening and closing, and opening and closing, so the cowhide rope that tied Zhouyi was broken three times. Later generations used this idiom to mean diligent study. Under the esteem of Confucius, The Book of Changes has entered the mainstream of Confucian classics and is known as the "First Classic in the World".

Wang Yangming, born in an official family, must have been exposed to the Book of Changes when he was young. He is a descendant of Shaoxing Wang Xizhi. His grandfather Wang Lun went to Hanlin College to write, and his father Wang Huazhong won the first prize. Wang Yangming is a big shot. At the age of 6, he can pick up all the money; At the age of 12, he could say such an amazing sentence: "Being a first-class person is not a middle class, but a saint who studies." At the age of 28, he was a scholar and often wrote suggestions to the emperor for his father to read. After reading it, his father sent him a word: crazy. At the age of 34, he gave his first speech in Beijing.

Generally speaking, Wang Yangming had a smooth life in the first half of his life and was a standard cynic. "People should not be too smooth, too cynical and too unlucky." When Wu really changed his temper, he began to talk about how this talented boy stumbled and almost ruined his life.

Because there is an opportunity.

Wang Yangming, who fell into the trough of his life

Face life directly because of divination.

In 505, Emperor Xiaozong died, and 15-year-old Prince Mingwuzong succeeded to the throne. Eunuch Liu Jin took this opportunity to specialize in politics and exclude dissidents. Many honest officials who wrote letters of recommendation were either killed or imprisoned. The following year, Wang Shouren stepped forward as an admonition officer, directly hit the muzzle of Liu Jin, was beaten by 40 people, and was demoted as Cheng Yi of Longchang, Guizhou.

When Wang Yangming arrived in Hangzhou, he met his younger brother Wang Shouwen and wrote a poem saying, "One day, you will go to get firewood and then move your hut to Yunshan." This means that when I spend these years, we will go home to farm together. There is a feeling of depression and loneliness in speech. My brother saw it and couldn't stand it. He might as well stay in Hangzhou to deal with the aftermath. Wang Yangming conveniently stayed. However, the angry young man did not die. He began to give lectures in Hangzhou. As a result, the wind reached the ears of Liu Jin, and he immediately found a security guard to kill Wang Shouren.

Run! Wang Yangming, who is extremely clever, created a scene of "suspended animation": he left his shoes and socks by the Qiantang River, making people think that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. Surprisingly, the fake play almost came true: his boat happened to be hit by a typhoon and capsized. Fortunately, his water quality is very good. He went downstream to Wuyishan, where he met an old friend.

My old friend is an old Taoist. Wang Yangming 17 was married in Nanchang, Jiangxi. On his wedding night, he ran out of the party. He met a 90-year-old Taoist in a Taoist temple called Tiezhu Palace. The two chatted happily. Wang Yangming forgot his wedding night and was discovered by his father-in-law the next day. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the two met in another place. The old monk said, I'll wait for you. Wang Yangming was shocked. Everyone knows that I jumped into the river and died. How did you know I would come here? Road flyover said, I saw you 20 years ago, but this is the first time I heard the news. Wang Yangming went on to say two words: when moving, he lived in a foggy valley with green mountains and green waters.

The constant attack of natural and man-made disasters has made Wang Yangming, who wants to worship Taoist priests, somewhat confused.

The old monk stopped his hermit and said, "You can't run away. Let Liu Jin know that you didn't die or go to Longtian when you ran away. It is a big sin for you to lie to you, and your whole family is finished. " . Come on, I'll give you a number.

This is a turning point in Wang Yangming's life.

Taoist divination is called "Ming Yi Gua", which reads: Ming Yi, Li Jianzhen. The light is hidden underground and suppressed, but we must face the difficulties. Confucius further pointed out that Ming Yi divination symbolizes a catastrophe, but if we want to learn from it, we must persist in the predicament.

After a major setback, Wang Yangming, who was absent-minded and full of escapism, seemed to have confidence at once. From the interpretation of divination, he realized that his future was bright: the danger had passed and there was a more important mission waiting for him to complete his life.

This divination strengthened Wang Yangming's great belief and helped him stand up in the most difficult time of his life. He went to the Dragon Field, but he got the enlightenment of the Dragon Field and a series of brilliant achievements afterwards. If he runs away and goes deep into the forest at this time, everything behind him will disappear. "Wu Shuo, later Wang Yangming, under the guidance of the wisdom of the Book of Changes, achieved the perfection of the overall personality and became the Three Immortals Classic.

his

then

Wang Yangming, he knows and acts as one.

Establish moral idealism

"2 1 century will be the century of Wang Yangming, which is the prediction of Professor Du Weiming of Harvard University." Judging from Wu's interpretation, Wang Yangming, as a saint, really deserves this hat, because his spiritual wealth left to future generations is too rich.

First of all, he established moral idealism with morality and conscience as the core, just as his grandfather called him "benevolence". Shouren originated from the Book of Changes. If you know, kindness can't stay. If you get it, you lose it. This means that if a person has a high IQ, high IQ and great wisdom, he can really get a lot of things, but if he only pays attention to intelligence and knowledge, and does not talk about morality and personality, what he gets will eventually be lost.

Wu very much hopes that everyone can learn from Wang Yangming. Wang Yangming is a particularly targeted medicine, which can radically cure the ills of today's society, such as mercenary and materialism. Entrepreneurship depends on knowledge, wisdom and IQ, but entrepreneurship mainly depends on morality and personality, so the ancients said that entrepreneurship is difficult and even more difficult.

How to learn from Wang Yangming? In addition to understanding his moral idealism "to conscience", Wu also listed several "learning outlines" that are very close to the current social atmosphere.

For example, learn from Wang Yangming's values. His values are very positive. In academic language, he is called "firmly believing in self-subjectivity and self-sufficiency, and establishing himself as a value", and in popular language, he is called "responsible". "The value there is very high. I'll pretend. I'll recognize it. This is what we lack most today. "

We can also learn from Wang Yangming's pluralistic and harmonious cultural orientation. He studied under Zhu and Lu Jiuyuan, but they all inherited critically, neither fully affirming nor completely denying. Besides, Wang Yangming also likes to make friends with Taoism and Buddhism. He is proficient in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, which provides historical reference for epoch-making multicultural exchanges in the world today. "We now advocate' enthusiasm and fun'. Hello, like me, everyone is fine. "

Another key point is to learn the core of Yangming's theory of mind, "the unity of knowing and doing", which is of great significance for strengthening execution and action. Wu Shuo, the biggest problem in today's society is the difference between knowing and doing. For example, some enterprises say yes in person and do bad things behind their backs, which leads to the loss of credibility of the whole society. Everyone is dishonest, and honest people are unlucky. This social malpractice must be solved through the integration of knowledge and practice.

Zhouyi, the head of the group classics

A group of high-end fans [/s2/]

Wu believes that Zhouyi is the clearest source of China culture and the commanding height of China culture. Although profound, once you climb to the top of the mountain and understand the Book of Changes, it will be easy to appreciate the cultural scenery of China in the future.

This masterpiece, which has been circulated for thousands of years, has conquered many scholars in ancient and modern times. After Wang Yangming, a famous prime minister Zhang appeared in the Ming Dynasty. He is also a veritable "Zhouyi Powder". In a personal letter, he quietly told his friends that he personally thought that all other classics were saying aphorisms, and only the Analects of Confucius was really useful. From childhood to daily life, to governing the country and leveling the world, there is no magical use of computers, and there is no life for the poor. You don't want to fully understand. Two is enough.

Not only China, but also Zhouyi lovers all over the world.

Wu listed several representative figures. For example, Leibniz, the founder of modern computer technology, the inventor of binary system, and a famous German mathematician. At that time, he was deeply shocked and encouraged to see Fuxi gossip brought back by China missionaries. Yin is 0 and Yang is 1, which is the simplest algorithm in the world. Many algebra scientists try to solve unsolved problems. China solved this problem thousands of years ago.

From then on, Leibniz fell in love with China and even wrote to Emperor Kangxi at that time, hoping to become a citizen of China and set up a research institute in China. Unfortunately, it was not allowed in the end.

There are also two Nobel Prize winners, Heisenberg in Germany and Bohr in Denmark. Their respective papers "Zhouyi" and "Zhouyi" also draw lessons from the wisdom of the Book of Changes. When the Danish king decided to award Bohr a medal and let him design it himself, Bohr drew the Tai Chi map in the center of the medal, expressing his high respect for China Tai Chi culture and Zhouyi Eight Diagrams.

"Why can the uncertainty principle explain such complicated things in the world so thoroughly? This is because it has a very complicated computing system. " Wu Shuo, the principle of reciprocity is not a fortune-telling book or feudal superstition in people's general impression, but a theoretical system that embodies the wisdom of the ancients. Some philosophical masters vividly compare it to "cosmic algebra". Our derivation is like an algebraic system, so it will still have infinite practical significance after thousands of years.
