The Ming Dynasty has always been regarded as a declining era in the history of Confucian bet365 tennis bet。Pi Xirui pointed out，“The era of bet365 tennis bet decline until the Ming Dynasty”。Huang Zongxi said，"There is a clear article、Achievements，Not as good as the previous generation，Independent on Neo-Confucianism，It is beyond the reach of previous generations”，Seems to imply a causal connection between the rise of Neo-Confucianism and the decline of Confucian bet365 tennis bet。As Ma Zonghuo said: "Neo-Confucianism is strong but Confucianism is weak，It is also natural。”In terms of the context of the Ming Dynasty，Neo-Confucianism is based on Yangming’s philosophy of mind。Then，What is the relationship between the rise of Yangming’s philosophy of mind and the decline of Confucian bet365 tennis bet in the Ming Dynasty？The first thing we need to do is to inquire into the problem awareness of Yangming’s theory of mind。

　　Sanctification and the bet365 tennis bet as a moral subject

Zhang Zai once criticized: "Aim to be a sage but not a saint，This is the biggest drawback of scholars since the Qin and Han Dynasties。"Dropped since the Qin and Han Dynasties，The reason why Confucian scholars do not seek to be saints，Because they believe that saints are "holy saints"，It will not be reached until the day after tomorrow。Danielists developed a new view of saints，Zhou Dunyi, the founder of Neo-Confucianism, advocated "Sheng Ke Xue"。Since then, sanctification has become the highest pursuit of Neo-Confucianism，Zhang Zai、二成、Zhu Xi is like this，Wang Yangming is no exception。Records in "Chronology"，When Yangming was eleven years old, he made "reading and learning from sages" the "first priority" in his life；At the age of eighteen, I met Lou Liang, the successor of Zhu Zixue，Strengthened the confidence that "a saint can learn from it"；Although there were setbacks and hesitations on the path of sacred learning，But since he started accepting apprentices and giving lectures at the age of thirty-four，bet365 tennis bet clear that "bet365 tennis bet necessary for people to first establish the ambition to become a saint"。

However，There are actually fundamental differences between Yangming’s view bet365 tennis bet sage and the orthodox Neo-Confucian view bet365 tennis bet sage。Zhu Zi and others believe，A saint has both ability and political integrity，“Since ancient times, there are all sages who know things well，There are all sages who are adaptable and changeable，There is also a sage sitting alone with no family background，Sages know everything，Omnipotent，That matter is unacceptable？”This shows，What makes a saint a saint is not only his moral perfection，Practical ability also constitutes a necessary condition for becoming a saint。

But Yangming’s view bet365 tennis bet sage takes the pure subject of virtue as its connotation，A dialogue in "Zhuan Xi Lu" best reflects this point。Cai Xiyuan asked: "A saint can learn from it。Ran Boyi、Yi Yin has different talents from Confucius，It is also called the Holy One Abiding？" Wang Yangming replied: "The reason why saints are saints，It’s just that his heart is pure and natural，And there is no miscellaneous desire。The reason why fine gold is fine，But its quality is sufficient and there is no impurity of copper and lead。A person can become a saint only when he is pure in the principles of heaven，Only when gold is enough is fine。The talent of a saint，Also different sizes，There are two different types of gold, one is gold and the other is gold。Yao、Shun Yuwanyi，King Wen、Confucius had nine thousand yi，Yu、Soup、King Wu still has seven or eight thousand yi，Bo Yi、Yi Yinyu’s four to five thousand yi: talents are different but pure natural principles are the same，All of them can be called saints；Still divided into two although different，The characters are the same，All can be said to be fine gold。Those who use five thousand yi are among the ten thousand yi，The characters and looks are the same；Yiyi、Yin Er toilet's Yao、between holes，It is purely natural and the same。The reason why is pure gold，It’s about the role and not the division；So he is a saint，It is purely natural and not based on talent。”According to Confucian tradition，Confucius、Bo Yi、Yi Yin，Even Yao、Shun and others are regarded as saints，But their achievements and influences are hugely different。Cai Xiyuan attributed this difference to their "talent" differences。But the question is what is the standard of their unity as saints？The key to Yangming’s answer is，He distinguished the "quality" and "weight" bet365 tennis bet saint: the key to gold being gold lies in its metal composition，As long as it is made of pure gold，Regardless of its weight，Does not hinder its nature as gold；Similar to this，The key to a saint being a saint is not his “weight”，That is, the size of "talent"，But it depends on whether their hearts are "purely based on heavenly principles，There is no miscellaneous desire”。

Based on this，Yangming further pointed out，“The saint knows everything，Just know the truth；Omnipotent，Just being able to make sense”。On the other hand，At Yangming’s place，"Conscience is the law of heaven"，And "conscience is just a mind of right and wrong"，It is the inner criterion for the subject to make moral judgments。Therefore，For Yang Ming，The essence of a saint lies in moral purity and has nothing to do with knowledge、Talent，Becoming a saint means becoming a pure moral subject。The problem is，In Wang Yangming’s era，Can official scholarship with Confucian bet365 tennis bet as its core be able to undertake this task？

　　The intellectualization and utilitarianization of Confucian bet365 tennis bet

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty，The "Four Books" and the "Five bet365 tennis bet" will be included in the imperial examination。Yongle 12th year，Hu Guang and others were ordered to compile "The Complete Four Books" and "The Complete Five bet365 tennis bet"，Established the dominant position of the "Four Books and Five bet365 tennis bet" in the official Confucian bet365 tennis bet system of the Ming Dynasty，And take Zhu Zixue as the standard of interpretation。

Zhu Xixue’s own systematic method of becoming a saint。According to Zhu Xi's explanation of "Taoism" and "Mind Dharma" in "The Preface to the Doctrine bet365 tennis bet Mean"，There is no essential difference between Zhu Zixue and Yangming Xinxue。However，Because the "sage" defined by Zhu Xixue is a practical subject with both ability and political integrity，The study of things and knowledge rises to an important position in the "university" era。But since the Yuan Dynasty, Confucian Wu Cheng distinguished Zhu Zi’s and Lu Jiuyuan’s approaches to learning with “Tao Wen Xue” and “Respect for Virtue”，Later generations basically regard the "Tao Wen Xue" of studying things to achieve knowledge as the only way for Zhu Xi to become a saint。Especially with the officialization of Zhu Zixue，Studying things to achieve knowledge is regarded as the fundamental method of sanctification。Actually，When Yang Ming visits Lou Liang，Lou Liang told Yangming that the art of becoming a saint is the "Song Confucianism's Study of Things"。

However，In Yangming’s opinion，What is gained from the study of things is nothing but knowledge，It cannot achieve inner virtue。Therefore，Zhu Xi’s Theory of Things, which aims at achieving knowledge, has no meaning in ensuring the morality of intrinsic motivation，Even counterproductive。“Later generations will not know that the origin of sainthood is purely natural，But only for knowledge can you go to the saints。Thinking that saints know everything，Omnipotent，I have to understand the many knowledges bet365 tennis bet saints one by one to get it。Therefore, there is no need to work on the principles of heaven，Efforts are in vain，Study from the booklet，Testing on Famous Things，Comparison in appearance，The wider the knowledge, the more lustful people will be，The more talents you have，And the laws of heaven become more obscure"。Knowledge constitutes talent、Guarantee of ability，However if the intrinsic motivation is amoral，Knowledge and talent will become a tool to satisfy personal desires。For Yang Ming, who thinks learning is the way to achieve the goal of becoming a saint，Only knowledge achieved，without achieving virtue，This kind of study hard work is absolutely unacceptable。The imperial examination system obviously strengthened this intellectual approach to learning，As Yang Ming said: "Since the imperial examination, the career has been prosperous，Scholars are all rushing to memorize speeches。”

On the other hand，Due to the utilitarian orientation of the imperial examination system，The "Four Books", "Five bet365 tennis bet" and Zhu Xixue will inevitably be instrumentalized。Xiang Qiao pointed out: "The country recruits people by their careers，A scholar of the same rank and subject，Or "Four Books"、There are many people who are stupid in their study of Confucian bet365 tennis bet。”The essence of instrumentalization lies in utilitarianization，As Gu Yanwu pointed out，After the publication of "The Complete Collection of Four Books and Five bet365 tennis bet"，"Person of the moment，Abandon Song Dynasty、Practical learning passed down since the Yuan Dynasty。The upper and lower sides are confused，Don’t ask questions for the sake of wealth and wealth。Woohoo！Abandonment of bet365 tennis bet，Reality starts from here”。Wang Yangming is the same as mainstream Neo-Confucianists such as Cheng and Zhu，Although I am not absolutely opposed to the imperial examination system，But we have a clear observation and understanding of the tendency of utilitarianizing the learning of sages caused by the imperial examination system。“Those who advance from the subject level，There are many people who favor personal interests”，Under this utilitarian habit，“The scholar has the ambition to learn from the sage，Specialize in career，He is a thousand miles away”。

With the intellectualization and utilitarianization of Confucian bet365 tennis bet caused by the imperial examination，The way of the saints contained in the "Four Books" and "Five bet365 tennis bet" is not only unknown，In addition, in reality, the behaviors of "disrupting the scriptures", "insulting the scriptures" and "stealing the scriptures" are becoming more and more serious。This forces Wang Yangming to rethink the possibility of becoming a saint，Rethinking the relationship between the "Four Books", "Five bet365 tennis bet" and sacred science。

　　The establishment of conscience science and the deconstruction of bet365 tennis bet

It can be seen from the above，Yangming Xinxue reflected and criticized Zhu Xixue at the academic level，At the same time, he also criticized the official Ming Dynasty Confucian bet365 tennis bet system and the secular customs brought about by the imperial examination system it relied on。

From an academic point of view，Yangming’s theory of mind can be said to be a “Copernican” revolution to Zhu Xi’s theory。Enlightenment after Longchang，Wang Yangming realized the "Way bet365 tennis bet Sage，My nature is self-sufficient，It is a mistake to seek truth from things”。In his opinion，Zhu Zixue’s method of seeking external profits cannot guarantee sanctification。Conscience as the law of heaven is inherently inherent in everyone’s heart，My heart and the laws of heaven are originally one and the same，Therefore, the investigation of physics requires a "Copernican-style" reversal，That is, you cannot seek reason from external objects，But we should “seek truth from my heart”。

，To bring my conscience to everything。The conscience of my heart，The so-called ‘natural principle’。To express the "natural principles" of my heart and conscience in everything，Then everything will make sense。To the conscience of my heart，Zhizhiye。Those who have their own reasons for everything，Guruwuye。”The key to this interpretation is，The Theory of Things used by Zhu Zi to achieve knowledge，In Wang Yangming’s case, it becomes the work of achieving virtue。“‘Ge Wu’ is like the ‘Ge’ of Mencius’ ‘Great Personality King’s Heart’。It is to get rid bet365 tennis bet evil in his heart，To achieve the righteousness of its true nature。But where is the thought，It’s time to get rid bet365 tennis bet evil，To make things right”。This shows，When the theory of things is transformed into conscience，The function of observing things becomes “righteousness”，And this kind of "getting rid bet365 tennis bet evil，The Zhengxin Kungfu of "keeping everything right" is essentially a kind of self-examination at the level of moral consciousness，Thus ensuring the morality bet365 tennis bet subject’s intrinsic motivation。For Wang Yangming，Only the morality that ensures intrinsic motivation，The subject can become a moral subject in the true sense。

Since the essence of a saint is the purity of virtue and has nothing to do with knowledge and ability，Conscience becomes the most reliable way to become a saint。“The conscience bet365 tennis bet heart is called sage。The Learning of Saints，Just for this conscience。”It is in this sense，Yangming emphasized that "toward conscience" is "the first principle of saints to teach people"，It is the "Holy Sect's True Dharma Eye Store"。

By transforming the theory of things into conscience，And establish conscience as the foundation of sanctification，Yangming’s conscience system was theoretically established。Once Yangming’s conscience system was established，In the mind system，Confucian bet365 tennis bet will inevitably be deconstructed。In Wang Yangming’s opinion，“The Sage Narrated the Six bet365 tennis bet，Just want to correct people’s hearts，Just keep justice in mind、Remove human desires”，“Sages teach us，Is it possible to teach people to get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature，If the "Five bet365 tennis bet" and "Four Books" are already"，But when "there is a natural principle"、The way to destroy human desires is through the simple method of "leading to conscience"、After mastering the direct method，Then the "Five bet365 tennis bet" and "Four Books" have no real meaning。

Wang Yangming once said: "The four books and the five bet365 tennis bet only talk about the mind"。In "Jishan Academy Zunjing Pavilion"，Yangming further elaborated on the relationship between Confucian bet365 tennis bet and mind science。Sutra is the carrier of Tao，It is also the result of the saint’s writings，It is the product of human culture，Before there were bet365 tennis bet，The way of heaven and earth is naturally free。"Tong character、Da Sihai、saitiandi、Eternal and Present。”The way of heaven and earth is found，There is a little enlightenment in people’s hearts，The "Six bet365 tennis bet" written by the sages are nothing more than a record of the way of heaven and earth revealed by the human heart。"So the Book of Changes"，He who knows the yin and yang of my heart；"Book"，He who is determined in his heart and political affairs；《Poetry》also，The one who sings my heart’s temperament；"Li" also，Those who keep my mind organized and coherent；《乐》也，The one who has joy and peace in his heart；"Spring and Autumn" also，The one who is sincere and honest in my heart is also the one who is right”。Therefore，"The Six bet365 tennis bet"，The record of my heart，The reality of the "Six bet365 tennis bet" is in my heart"，This way，The kind of study by "learning from the book"，Confucian bet365 tennis bet scholarship conducted through methods such as "examination of names and objects" is wrong。"Scholar of the world，I don’t know how to seek the truth of the Six bet365 tennis bet，Only consider the influence，Contained by the end of the text，Qiang Ran thought it was the "Six bet365 tennis bet"。"This leads to the conclusion that "seeking their hearts" is the proper way to "respect the scriptures"。Yu is，What the Siku officials said is "the study of the heart is flourishing but the study of bet365 tennis bet is declining" is inevitable！

Finally，Judgment on the decline of Confucian bet365 tennis bet in the Ming Dynasty，It is made in the sense of intellectualization of Confucian bet365 tennis bet criticized by Yang Ming。As Xue Xuan said，"Return to the exam hall，Sidao Daming，No writing required，Just do it”。Rao Zongyi further pointed out based on Xue Xuan's point of view: "The Ming Dynasty governs bet365 tennis bet，The important thing is practice”；"Ming Confucianism Preaching，You can be martyred at any time”，Therefore，"The great place of Ming Dynasty Confucianism，Not at the superficial level of Taoism”。Through the rise of Yangming’s Xinxue，Although Confucian bet365 tennis bet in the Ming Dynasty was "extremely in decline" at the intellectual level，However, the spirit of sacred learning carried by Confucian bet365 tennis bet has been put into practice by the successors of Xinxue represented by Yang Ming、Carry forward，And this is what should be paid attention to when re-developing Confucian bet365 tennis bet today。
