2. Keeping benevolence and making bamboo: refers to the story of a great thinker in the Ming Dynasty who made bamboo for seven days and seven nights in order to practice Zhu's theory of "making things know" when he was young, hoping to make a saint.
3. The great philosopher of Ming Dynasty wanted to be a saint, and he always believed in Zhu's theory of "learning from others". In order to practice, he checked bamboo for seven days and seven nights, hoping to find out the reason of bamboo, but in exchange for an unforgettable failure, he fell ill. From then on, Wang Shouren began to change his point of view.
4. To sum up, in Zhu's theory, the object of cognition is natural things, the method of cognition is external observation, and the purpose of cognition is to improve cognition. I am very dissatisfied with Zhu's theory of "knowing and doing with things" and put forward my own theory of "intimate". The so-called "to conscience" means that the object of cognition should be one's own mind, and the method of cognition should be inward self-experience, and the experience of one's own mind and the justice of the heart should be extended to external things. Of course, there is no principle difference between them as the ultimate goal of cognition, that is, to improve moral cultivation and spiritual realm.
