Xiao Mingfeng respectfully handed over a publication: "Sir, this is the "Journal of Physics", which is published on time on the first day of every month. It was founded by Bachelor Wang, who personally serves as the president of the journal, and colleagues from the Physics Society contribute articles and serve as editors.
Proofread and hire private scholars to do hand-copying.”
The word "president" has been around for a long time. For example, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, and Xie Qian are the presidents of the Hongzhi edition of "Da Ming Huidian", and their positions are equivalent to the chief editor.
Wang Yangming picked up the journal and flipped through a few pages. He couldn't help laughing, but at the same time he found it quite interesting.
The cover of "Journal of Physics" is very simple, with only four characters in the title of the magazine.
On the title page are two sentences by Zhu Xi: "There is no limit to the extremes of physics, and there is no end to what I know in my heart."
As for the content, it is divided into two sections -
Physics Tips: Introduction to physics tips. The first issue explains the principle of leverage, from chopsticks to water pullers, teaching everyone how to use the lever principle to save energy.
Physics Experiments: Publishes experiments conducted by members of the Physics Club. There are various experiments, some of which even children know the results, but they contain important physics knowledge.
Just looking at these contents, not to mention the great masters and great scholars, even the most talented people would think that Wang Yuan was not doing his job properly and would not think that he was digging for the foundation of Neo-Confucianism.
However, Wang Yangming knew his students very well and said with emotion: "What a big tone, what a big ambition!"
The word "physics" is too big, much bigger than "investigating things to achieve knowledge". It comes from Zhu Xi's "having many principles and responding to all things", which is the principle of all things! To make an inappropriate metaphor, if physics is cooking,
To investigate things and achieve knowledge is to light a fire and cook rice.
Wang Yangming looked at the title page and paced back and forth, murmuring to himself: "There are no limits to the extremes of physics, and everything I know in my heart is endless. Can this kid really follow the principles of all things?"
Wang Yangming already knew from Xiao Mingfeng that Wang Yuan gave a random explanation of his psychology, and that the academic theories of the master and the disciple were completely different.
It is impossible for Wang Yangming to give up on the study of mind. Similarly, Wang Yangming cannot force his disciples. He knows that Wang Yuan is the same type of person as him, and he will never look back if he hits the south wall.
Wang Yangming suddenly laughed: "When Yuan Ming (Zhan Ruoshui) comes back from Annan, we can let this kid worship under the Baisha Gate. They all understand everything by observing it."
Xiao Mingfeng said: "Sir, this disciple is confused."
Wang Yangming asked: "What's the confusion?"
Xiao Mingfeng said: "I think what Mr. Wang said is very reasonable, and what Academician Wang said is also very reasonable. But what you two said seems to be completely contrary to each other. I don't know who to listen to."
Wang Yangming smiled and said: "But as Wang Erlang preaches, you can cultivate your mind and study physics at the same time. The study of mind is to straighten the body, and the physics is to improve the character. Wang Erlang is not opposed to the cultivation of conscience, nor is he opposed to the unity of knowledge and action."
"Is there something outside the heart or nothing?" Xiao Mingfeng asked for advice.
Wang Yangming explained: "Conscience is the spirit of creation. These spirits are born in the world, become ghosts and gods, and they all come from this!"
Xiao Mingfeng became even more dizzy and walked out of the door in a daze. She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, so she had to go and ask Wang Yuan for help.
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "What Mr. said about 'nothing outside the mind' is somewhat similar to Zen Buddhism. It means that the mind is not stuck in things. It does not mean that there is nothing outside the mind. A person can perceive all things, understand the truth of the world, and finally reflect
Look at your inner conscience. At this point, my heart is the world, and the world reflects my heart, thus reaching the realm of a saint."
"So that's it," Xiao Mingfeng suddenly realized, and asked again, "Then what do you mean by what you said? What kind of creation, what kind of spirit."
Wang Yuan explained: "Liangzhi is the heart and is produced by creation. Therefore, creation is higher than conscience and is the origin of all things in the world. You can understand it this way, all things we study in physics are born from the creation of heaven and earth. When we study physics, we also
In exploring the creation of heaven and earth, there is no conflict with Mr.’s idea of cultivating conscience. Creation is above, physics is outside, conscience is in the heart, the Trinity is like that.”
Xiao Mingfeng felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and instantly felt that she had enlightened herself. She respectfully bowed to Wang Yuan as a disciple: "Senior brother, you are worthy of being the chief disciple of Mr. Wang. If you study one thing from your heart, you are a hundred times better than me!"
Wang Yuan also suddenly figured out that physics and psychology can complement each other.
Presumably Wang Yangming deliberately spoke in such a boring way that Xiao Mingfeng was forced to ask Wang Yuan for advice. That passage was specifically meant for Wang Yuan! The purpose is very simple, so that Wang Yuan should not lose himself while exploring all things.
Don't let external things disturb your original intention.
With Wang Yangming’s addition, the School of Physics can now and openly say that it is the school of mind.
…
Huang family.
Huang Qiao also got a copy of "Journal of Physics", which he borrowed from Yang Shen.
Although Yang Shen also participated in literary gatherings during this period, the number of appearances was much less than before. Friends kept asking and found out that Yang Shen was obsessed with physics, so everyone was very interested in physics and wanted to understand what it was.
Can Yang Shen be fascinated like that?
As a result, members of the Lize Society studied "Mathematics", "Geometry" and "Physics" one after another.
After the first contact, more than 90% of the Lize Club members gave up. Only two or three people found it interesting, and Huang Qiao was one of them.
Huang Qiao was not good at the Four Books and Five Classics, and could not even pass the exam. After hanging out with Yang Shen for a while, he made great progress in poetry and poetry. Unexpectedly, he actually had a good talent in mathematics, and soon became very interested in physics.
.
"Brother, what are you busy with? You haven't gone out these days." Huang E ran in and asked.
Huang Qiao said: "Study physics."
Huang E asked curiously: "Studying things to gain knowledge?"
"Yes." Huang Qiao nodded and said.
Huang E suddenly laughed: "You just study things from a book?"
Huang Qiao turned back to the title page of "Journal of Physics", pointed to the two lines of words and said: "Zhu Zi said that there is no limit to the extremes of physics, and there is no limit to what I know in my heart. As long as you are proficient in physics, you can know the mysteries of the world.
."
"Then how did you become proficient in physics?" Huang E asked.
"Observe, speculate, experiment, and summarize." Huang Qiao said.
Huang E always felt that his eldest brother was nervous and seemed to be suffering from hysteria, but his speech was very organized and he didn't look like he had turned into a fool.
Huang Qiao sighed: "It's a pity that the conditions at home are limited. I can only read other people's experiments from books, and it is difficult to verify them with experiments myself. Alas, why is it Wang Erlang who created this school of physics?"
"Wang Erlang?" Huang E suddenly became energetic.
"That's him. Physics was created by Wang Erlang," Huang Qiao shook his head and said, "He rejected our family's proposal of marriage. I can't bear to ask him for advice."
Huang E pouted and said, "Who said he refused? It's just that he doesn't have the parents' orders, so it's hard to agree to it for the time being."
"You're still helping him speak!" Huang Qiao was furious.
Huang E asked: "Brother, can you teach me physics?"
Huang Qiao threw three books to his sister: "Read it yourself!"
Both "Mathematics" and "Geometry" have imprinted editions, and the content is relatively complete, but calculus is missing. "Physics" only has manuscripts, and the various manuscripts are different. The later the copying time, the more content there is.
The three books in Huang Qiao's hands were all handwritten. He was too lazy to copy them himself and paid someone to copy them. It didn't cost much anyway.
Huang E read the book immediately after getting it. It felt very boring at first. If the author was not Wang Yuan, she would not bother to read it again. She gritted her teeth and studied hard for more than half a month, and finally began to indulge in the world of mathematics and physics.
.
Well, since my brother is too shy to ask for advice, I will help him study - Huang E gave himself a very lame excuse.
If a noble lady who has not yet left the court went to another man's house to study, she would definitely be criticized by others, but Huang E actually caught her and went there with her veil on.
"Master, a girl came to study and said she wanted to learn physics." The servant came in to report.
"Please come quickly!" Wang Yuan was immediately overjoyed. His missionary work was very effective, and he actually attracted all the women.
