The Individual moral cultivat, has never lost its value since ancient times. The saintsages think highly of the exploration of cultivation through the whole history of China.This paper will discuss the theory of Realizing intuitive knowledge of moral cultivationof Wang yangming in some way. In Wang yangming’s theory, conscience has thefunction of creation and moral judgment. It provides a strong social conscience forindividual to learn and improve their moral cultivation. Wang yangming believeseveryone has conscience which not only improves people’s main body status in thecultivation, but also emphasizes the subjective initiative of people. As long as willing todeal with conscience, everyone can be rao or shun. In the moral self-cultivation, WangYangming emphasizes both inside and outside-------“From the soul to find a moral andLooking for morality from all things”, which can’t be looked at one-sided. WangYangming pointed out specific cultivation way, such as setting an ambition、sincerity、removing the selfishness of the soul、and steps by steps etc. All above has the positiveguiding significance of individual moral self-cultivation. The lifetime of WangYangming is the moral life. When he was young, He learned the advantages ofConfucianism、 Buddhism and Taoism’s thought and knowledge, he also regardedinterpretation and dissemination of the wisdom of the sages as his own responsibility.During he was in power, he did well, paying attention to the implementation ofenlightenment、building school、academy and colleges and teaching, which followingthe sage’s way in order to transform social traditions and customs. The first part of thearticle is the problem of putting forward “conscience” including three aspects of content.The first one is the investigation of the historical background of Wang Yangming’stheory of realizing intuitive knowledge. At that time, because of the corruption ofpolitics economic, appealing in capitalism, in culture, Neo-Confucianism tends to berigid or other things, a new theory was called for to solve the crises what society faces.The second part is pursuing theoretical probing process of Wang Yangming. This partbases his life experiences as the main line, to study Wang Yangming form his infancy tothirty-four years old about the pursuance to the “What is the most important thing inlife”. The content involving Wang Yangming learned the theory of Buddhist andTaoist and had dedication and confusion in the process of learning Neo-Confucianismand researched art of war, Wang Yangming addicted to learning rhetoric, and spreaddoctrine of the saints with Cham Oasis and so on, giving a comprehensive presentation of wang’s life experience and thought status before his preschool. The third part is theinvestigation of Wang Yangming’s science from thirty-five years old to fifty-seven yearsold. The second part of the article discusses Wang Yangming’s theory of realizingintuitive knowledge. This article elaborates this part mainly from two aspects. On theone hand, conscience cultivation is really the basis of Wang Yangming’s theoretical andhas a further expounds of conscience from the four characteristics: the function ofcreation moral standard persistent and owned by everyone. Conscience can create theworld、conscience can judge moral、the conscience can exist forever in the world andeveryone has a conscience. On the other hand, we can deeply explore the further way ofits training accomplishment. Here, Wang Yangming’s moderate cultivation including“from the soul to find a moral and Looking for morality from all things” will beelaborated. This way of training will not only solve the problem of “the difference ofAccomplishments between Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan”, but also can enrich the content ofcultivation. The third part of the article investigates the practice of wang’s theory ofrealizing intuitive knowledge according to the historical materials. Here, the explorationwill be carried out mainly to the moralization that be advocated during the period of histeaching and entering politics. Wang Yangming created the College in order to make upfor the disadvantage of official school and advocated the teachings of the ancient sagesby giving lectures. During the period of entering politics,implement benevolent rule,valued moralization caring folks,” to balance Virtue and the rule of law and to attentionthe value of the repentance of the people,to urge thieves and rebels to turn over a newleaf”. The implementation of the measures of moral education is bound to give apositive inspiration for us today socialist moral system construction and implementation.The fourth part mainly discusses the value of Wang Yangming’s theory of realizingintuitive knowledge, which mainly dissertates from two aspects of theory and practice.This paper basis on historical materials by researching the study and politicalexperience of Wang Yangming whole life to explore the meaning of the theory ofrealizing intuitive knowledge self-cultivation’s Cultivation Theory significance, so Ihope to make it play a positive role on personal moral cultivation and promotion ofsocialist moral system through this article of the meaning of the theory of realizingintuitive knowledge expounding Wang Yangming.
