Yangming school is one of the mainstream theories in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which later spread in Japan and had great influence on Japan and East Asia. Yangming's theory of mind is one of the important theories in China's ideological and cultural history.
Yangming's theory of mind is not only the study of idealism, but also the study of psychology. It is a collection of a series of philosophical thoughts of ancient thinkers in China who not only emphasized the nature of Tao, but also advocated the unity of man and nature, and paid more attention to people's subjective initiative. Through the core concepts such as mind is reason, unity of knowledge and action, and conscience, the unity of theory and practice, the unity of subject and object, and the unity of inner sage and outer king has been realized.
Standing in today's new historical position, inheriting and carrying forward Yangming's theory of mind has important theoretical value and practical significance.
