Orthodox Learning of Neo-Confucianism in Ming Dynasty
Although Wang Yangming's Philosophy of Mind became an important mainstream of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty,however,his deliberate compilation of the Conclusion of Zhuzi In His Later Years(《朱子晚年定论》)sufficiently demonstrates the significant position of Zhu Xi as an"other"in his thought.The existence of this"other"also had a profound impact on Liu Zongzhou and Huang Zongxi.Huang Zongxi not only promoted Liu Zongzhou's thought in the Records of Ming Scholars(《明儒学案》)but also established a strong image of Orthodox Learning of Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianism through Fang Xiaoru's practice of Zhu Xi's philosophy.Fang Xiaoru adhered to the stand of Zhu Xi's philosophy,inherited its thoughts,and practiced Neo-Confucianism with his life,his academic spirit was also considered by Liu Zongzhou and Huang Zongxi to be comparable to Zhu Xi and represented the mainstream Neo-Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty.Liu Zongzhou and Huang Zongxi,as giants of thought,their admiration for Fang Xiaoru is sufficient to remind modern scholars of the value and significance of Zhu Xi's philosophy within Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianism.
