On The Development Of Taizhou School's Thought About "People's Daily Is Tao"

TaiZhou School is a very important school in Ming and Qing Dynasty. WangGen and his students inherited WangYangming's psychology, and they also attached great importance to the relation between concentric conscience and people's daily life. They thought the daily life had expressed the sacred Tao. They attached the final society and took the daily life to a high position. Of course, their work had a profound effect. So I think it is necessary to make more study about some great scholars in TaiZhou School, analyze their meaningful proposition which was "people's daily is Tao". Also the thought about daily life as a clue penetrated all of their academic thought, and widely spread.In this passage, I will take this proposition as a starting point. I'll go through its social and academic background, thus I can conclude its contents and significance. The passage will be divided into three parts. First of all, there will be an introduction of how the proposition formed, including WangGen's understanding about the daily life. And then, there will be the inheritance and development of the proposition, including the view of LuoRufang, GenDingxiang and JiaoHong. The third, it is a progression of developing the useful and discarding the useless, through LiZhi's Childlike innocence, we will get the final meaning of the proposition.
