To be a ethical person and to be a real person, Wang Yangming’s idea of education is a way to understand morality,as well as a way to analysis it.Virtue depends on real person.In another word,it is the premise and foundation for everybody. Being a ethical person is more important than being a real person,a talent person and famous person.It is that Wang want to pursue,to practice and to teach.These ideas are reflected in the the Wang’s main thoughts in his philosophy system.The thoughts are being saint,uniting of body and mind, uniting of knowing and doing,doing all things with conscience.At the same time,we should know that the meaning of the theory of being a ethical person and being a real person in ancient times is different from that in modern times.So by combining them, we can summarize the spirit of Confucius and give us some enlightenment in educating students.Thus,it will make the ideal personality and life to become true.Wang set an determination of being saint when he was very young.He always want to be top person and do best things.This determination is ethical,which is based on the viewpoint that ever person can be a sage of Mencius.Wang lay stress on mind,nature and human nature.He just emphasize that determination is the key for being a ethical person.Making the definition of the theory of body and mind, We can distinguish the theory of mouth and the theory of words. The theory of body and mind start with doing things with your hands and mind,rethinking yourself with your heart. These concerns are moral conscience and personality,in order to develop the moral nature.Being a ethical person is more important than being a real person,a talent person and famous person.It is that Wang want to pursue,to practice and to teach.The theory of unity of knowing and doing is the touchstone of the theory of being a ethical person. To practice the theory,we ought to using the morality to do things and to choose things.Based on the book of The Great Learning and Mencius,We can conclude that the education consist of two parts.One is the conscience and the other is doing things with conscience.In Wang’s opinon,the eudcation system just highlight that a real person must be a ethical person at first.It can give us some advices to todays national education. To sum up,the ethical person is the real person because he behave by moral principles.The education advocated by Wang manifest the goodness of human nature and the traditional Confucian thoughts that what God see is what common people see.He made such a effort to teach everyone to be a ethical person and lead a ethical life.A man will be kind,worthy of espect and trust.That is to say, owning to tha virtue is the human being’s fundamental principle, the education of being a ethical person is real education...
