Wang Yangming brings together theory and action in a way that few thinkers have been able to achieve. He loves reading. Like people today, he also cared about the meaning of life. The moral knowledge he proposed is essentially practical. This theory challenges Chinese traditional passive intellectualism. In his learning, he absorbed many ideas from Buddhism and Daoism as well to try to solve his question. For Wang, reading is not simply a way to acquire knowledge. It was a way to read the mind. In a time when many people feel confused about what really matters, Wang offers a simple and demanding reminder: return to the mind, follow the impulse of liangzhi. His work speaks across history because it asks a question that every people must answer. How do we make our knowledge real?
