This collection features the teachings and reflections of Wang Shouren, a prominent Confucian thinker, and encompasses various texts that explore the relationship between knowledge and action, the cultivation of moral character, and the pursuit of understanding one's innate goodness. The work is likely rooted in a time where Confucianism was being interpreted and applied to the complexities of governance and personal virtue. The opening of the text delves into discussions between the author and a follower, named Ai, regarding the teachings derived from ancient texts, particularly focusing on the essence of knowledge and action. In this dialogue, Ai questions the differences in interpretations of principles such as "親民" (being close to the people) versus "新民" (new people), and the concept of knowing when to act, leading to a rich exploration of how deeply grasping moral truths requires continual reflection and alignment of one's inner motivations. Wang emphasizes the importance of achieving clarity of heart and mind to embody the highest virtues, portraying an intellectual journey towards understanding and embodying truth.
