Chapter 9 fineness and two

fineness and two Yangming's study of conscience is self-understanding and simple, only to fall into the exploration of the mind itself, and then turn to the road of emptiness and emptiness.Yangming himself said: "The eye has no body, but the color of all things as its body. The ear has no body, and its body is the sound of all things. The nose has no body, and its body is the smell of all things. The mouth has no body, and its body is the smell of all things. The mind has no body, and takes the sense of right and wrong of the myriad things in the world as its body.” It can be seen that it is to seek the mind body, and only look for the right and wrong in the sense of right and wrong of the myriad things in the world.Jiangyou Nie Shuangjiang Luo Nian'an advocated returning to solitude and keeping quiet. Although it can save the abuse of Wang Xue, Jiangyou's learning itself still has disadvantages.Longxi, the king of Qianxushan, has been with Yangming for the longest time, and they have many objections to Jiang Youli's statement.Xushan said: "Stains and dirt can accumulate on the mirror, and the work of grinding away. Conscience is empty and not a thing, where does the stain stop? Where does the work of grinding come from? This refers to my heart. The mottled spots and shattering are due to the restraint of energy and the concealment of things, and they are formed after the feeling of human things. How can we add the work before the feeling of things that are not involved in human things?" He also said: "Brightness can't be color first, cleverness There must be no sound first. The eyes have no color, so they can fully understand the colors of all things. The ears have no sound, so they can fully understand the voices of all things. The heart does not have a single goodness, so it can fully realize the goodness of everything in the world. Today, when people first see a child entering a well, they all feel fear and compassion The heart is called good. However, before seeing the child, how can we first add the merits of seeking it, so as to presuppose this kind of goodness? To suppress the triggering of the imaginary spirit, the mechanism cannot be controlled by itself. The first teacher said that there is no good and no evil in the body of the heart. , It is to speak to the later generation that the study of the poor and the poor is the first to be good.” He also said; “If you have not developed a body of tranquility, you have not tasted the feeling of leaving home, country, and world, and there is something else in it, that is, the feeling of home, country, and world. There are those who are still in the midst but have not developed solitude. If you leave what you have asked for, you will not be able to get it. After a long time, you will develop a disease of withering and solitude, and you will recognize the virtual scene as the real thing, and the imaginary knowledge and vision as the true nature." These words are extremely thorough.We should judge the balance from both sides to meet and see the beginning and the end.Later, Lizhou said that Jiang You got the true biography of Yangming, and that Xushan and Longxi were in the teaching of the teacher, and there was no slight difference. Because of the popularity of false confidantes and ready-made confidants, he said that he had to slant one side of the ear.

There is at least one reason for why the Yangming Society has flowed into the false conscience and the ready-made conscience and approached mad Zen, and why the Jiangyou school has come up with the theory of returning to silence and mastering tranquility to explore the mind and body.Originally, Yangming had the debate between goodness and beauty, to get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature, just like refining gold to seek its full color.It is you who know what is right, and it is not you who knows what is wrong. You only give to your conscience, go with what is right, and go with what is wrong. This is what fools and women know and can do.But so far it is only a few cents of gold, although the fineness is good, the two cents are light.After all, Yao, Shun, Confucius and Mencius are not only pure in color, but also divided into two parts.That is to say, as Yangming said in "Baben Saiyuan Lun", such as Ji Qin Jia, Qi Shanjiao, Kui Si Yue, Yi Tong Li.In the end, those saints are not only pure in beauty, but also divided into two levels, let’s cultivate, teach, enjoy, and rite. Those are two-sided matters, not the quality side.Mencius said: "There are big people's affairs, and there are villainous people's affairs." If we say that our minds and things are one, how can we only seek the hearts of adults and not ask about the affairs of adults?Yao and Shun focused on governing the world, and Ji Qi and Kui Yi focused on teaching rituals and music in Jiajia.Therefore, the study of conscience, first of all, lies in the training of fineness. This training should be clear and simple. Foolish women and fools, knowledge and ability, Yangming Li, mostly talk about this category.As for Luo Nian'an and Nie Shuangjiang's keeping quiet and returning to silence, and realizing the mind and body, this is beyond the knowledge of fools and fools.Xu Shan's "Book of Answering Nian'an" said: "Anyone who legislates for foolish men and women is the words of a sage. Those who speak for a sage to express the truth of nature are not the words of a sage." According to Xu Shan, Yangming speaks It was originally legislated for foolish men and women.However, people who learn Yangming have a tendency in their hearts. They are not willing to be fools and foolish women. They all want to become great sages and great sages.If you want to become a great sage and a great sage, you must start from training your fineness, you can be regarded as a foolish man and a foolish woman, but you should not only ask for fineness, only in the realm of a foolish man and foolish woman.He must also pay attention to what Mencius called adults.It should not be said that you can go straight to Tiande just by sweeping and dealing with it.What's more, I'm too lazy to clean up and deal with it, but I come to sit behind closed doors, keeping quiet and quiet.Confucius said: "In a town of ten houses, there must be those who are as loyal and trustworthy as Qiu, who is not as good as Qiu who is eager to learn." If it is not insufficient, it is too light to divide into two.Jiqi Kuiyi did the rituals and music of Jiajiao with a heart of loyalty, filial piety and fraternity.You try to learn the etiquette and music taught by Jiajia, but leave loyalty, trustworthiness, filial piety, and try to learn from the great sages, but turn away from foolish husbands and women.But you shouldn't always study the sages in terms of fineness, only talk about loyalty, filial piety, and don't ask about Jiajia etiquette and music.Therefore, the wise and open-minded will inevitably have to act arrogantly and embark on the road of pseudo-conscience and mad Zen.Shen Qian was sincere, so he turned around and walked the right way of the river.In fact, the journey of sages is not like this.If foolish men and women and those who are knowledgeable and capable are also sages, then foolish men and women are loyal, filial, and beautiful, and they are at least a sage.Yao, Shun, Confucius, Meng, Ji, Qi, Kui and Yi are the most important sages, outstanding sages and sages.If you are not willing to be a sage at the very least, but you want to be a sage of Tege, you have to pay attention to both the fineness and the quality.

This reminds me of Zhu Zi.Zhu Zi (answering Lin Zezhi) once said: "It is suspected that the ancients first cultivated their achievements in elementary school, so the way of university only starts from studying things. Today's people did not have this kind of effort before, but seeing that universities put the study of things first, they want to only Seek knowledge by contemplating it, let alone exerting force on it. Even if you have a good look, there is no evidence for it.” It can be seen that Zhu Zi said that the study of things and poor principles is only taught at the university.There is still a period of elementary school before the university, so you need to use self-cultivation to understand a thread in your mind, and then you will be poor.If you can understand what I said above, to be a minimum saint is elementary school work, and to be an outstanding Tege saint is college work.First seek the purity of the color, and then discuss the importance of dividing the two. Naturally, the two must be consistent, combining the outside and the inside, from the beginning to the end.Ji Qinjia, because his nature is close to the grain, and Qi Sijiao, because his nature is close to the teaching, must not just ask for two points, but instead confuse the fineness.But we can't just talk about the fineness, and don't ask about the two.The big and the small ones are the same price, insisting that one hundred taels is the same gold, but not saying that the piece of gold only weighs one tael, while the other piece of gold weighs a hundred taels.In this way, Yangming's theory of conscience is actually just a kind of elementary school, that is, the study of villains.Interpreted in today's language, it is a kind of general learning for the common people.First teach the common people to be at least a saint.From then on, Huiweng's study of studying things and learning was first a university, that is, the study of adults.Interpreted in today's language, it is a specialization of leaders in society.This kind of knowledge still needs to be built up in the heart, and it still needs to be homed in the heart.In other words, divide into two to increase, and the fineness must not be mixed.It's a pity that Yangming didn't develop it to this point after "The Theory of Pulling the Source".However, Longxi Xushan, a disciple of Zhejiang Central University, opposed Jiangyou's return to tranquility, but they always focused on beauty, and insisted on embellishing a super saint on the body of a saint.This can also be said to be a chronic disease of Song and Ming Confucianists for six or seven hundred years. They always look down on Zilu Zigong, Ran Yougong Xihua, and only want to learn from Yan Yuanzhong Gong.Although they also say that the matter is the heart, but they don't know how to choose, so they work hard on the daily trivialities in front of them.One turn and it turns into a vague place.Yangming talks about conscience, and this disease is hidden in his bones.It is deeply stained with the legacy of Buddhism.If we only discuss this point, if the students of Huiweng focus on studying things in college and forget the cultivation of primary school, then Huiweng Yangming will become fifty steps and one hundred steps, let alone Zhezhong and Jiangyou.
