"Conscience" is the "knowledge" of "knowing right and wrong", while "enterprising spirit" is tempered in things and can be seen in objective reality. "To conscience" is to realize the unity of conscience and knowing and doing in practical actions. "To Conscience" is the direct unity of Wang Shouren's mind ontology and cultivation theory.
The essence of Wang Yangming's thought is the study of mind, and his thought actually comes from the thought of Confucian sage Mencius. Mencius believes that everyone has a good knowledge and ability, which, like our limbs, is inherent in our hearts. Under the influence of Lu Jiuyuan's theory that "my heart is the universe and the universe is my heart", after experiencing numerous difficulties and obstacles in the world, Wang Yangming realized Tao in the vast wilderness of Guizhou and founded the theory of mind.
Wang Yangming's mind system includes three aspects. First, the mind is rational; The second is the unity of knowledge and action; The third is to have conscience. This constitutes the three pillars of Wang Yangming's theory of mind, but the core is his thought of conscience.
