With similar philosophical thoughts to mainstream teachings, it depicts the teaching experience of two sages, and how their thoughts and sayings were compiled into books.
In 1512 AD in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming was teaching Xu Ai and other disciples that "Knowledge is the idea of practice, and practice is the way to use knowledge." Xu Ai proposed to record these thoughts of Wang Yangming into a book.
Master Tseng once said, "Have I failed to repeat the precepts that have been handed down to me?" This is consistent with Wang Yangming and Xu Ai's intention – to review the precepts that have been handed down. So, they named this book Instructions for Practical Living.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn period, Confucius gave lectures to his disciples. The similar teaching experience of Wang Yangming and Confucius reflects the inheritance of Confucianism.
In 1512,
in the reign of Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty,
in the capital city...
Knowledge is the main intention of action.
Action is the martial art of knowledge.
Knowledge is the main intention of action.
Action is the martial art of knowledge.
I've recorded everything you've said.
I want to record these principles and make a book out of it.
Yes, everyone.
You should make a book out of it.
If you make a book out of it,
the next generation will be able to learn from you.
Zeng Ziyue,
the boat doesn't learn how to row.
How about calling this book
the boat learning path?
Boat learning path?
Boat learning paper?
Xu Ai,
the recording
should be clear and precise.
Don't worry, sir.
I'll sort it out
and review it for you.
The boat learning path
is a recording of Wang Yaoming's thoughts.
His disciples will record it and sort it out.
The reason for making a book
is very similar to another Confucian book.
That is,
the theory of the wheel.
Xu Ai, you're still a teenager.
It's not easy for you to learn.
I remember the lessons
taught by the master the most.
Zeng Shun is good at learning.
The master taught us
to reflect on ourselves.
So,
there's no sun, there's no sun, there's no sun.
For the sake of the people,
but not for the sake of the people.
Make friends, but not for the sake of the people.
The boat doesn't learn how to row.
Yes, the boat doesn't learn how to row.
Record what the master said
and put it into practice.
Steadfast and confident,
you can be a teacher.
Reading the wheel is like
the teaching of Confucius.
Reading the boat learning path
is like what Mr. Yang Ming taught in Qinglin.
Knowing is the history of action.
Action is the city of knowledge.
Knowing is the history of action.
Action is the city of knowledge.
The master said
knowing is the history of action.
Action is the city of knowledge.
Knowing and action are inseparable.
Knowing and not acting are the same.
This is the master's invention.
Knowing and acting are the same.
Confucius must have taught this.
Knowing and acting are the same.
Master, what do you mean?
To determine a gentleman's status,
you must be able to say it.
If you can't say it, you must be able to do it.
Being able to do it
is the gentleman's name.
A gentleman's name must be able to say it.
A gentleman's name must be able to do it.
The wheel says
a gentleman's name must be able to do it.
What is the meaning of knowing and acting?
Previous classics are like the source of fire.
Later classics are like a hundred rivers running.
They merge into the long river of Chinese civilization.
They never stop running for thousands of years.
Today, in the Chinese classics,
let's read together
the classic classics of the Ming Dynasty
for the study of the past and the future.
The Wheel of Knowledge.
