论韩贞的知行观及其王学渊源

On Han Zhen’s Knowing and Doing View and Its Origin from the Theory of Wang Yang-ming

韩贞继承了他的老师王襞＂凡圣同一心,行解能兼进＂的思想,不尚空谈,强调印证心体,主张知行合一,躬行力践。他在邻里族中进行了广泛的道德实践,特别是他的助人义举闻名遐迩,传遍淮南,被誉为＂韩大善士＂、＂东海贤人＂。应该说,韩贞知行合一、行解兼胜的思想和实践,既是一种认知方式,也是他的一种高尚品格。

Hang Zhen inherited his teacher Wang Bi＇s theory of ＂Mortals have the same mind as saints,hence their behaviors and understandings could be improved at the same time.＂ He thought little of idle and boastful talk,emphasized reflecting the mind and advocated the unity of knowledge and practice and personal practice.Han Zhen conducted a widespread moral practice in his neighborhood and he was especially renowned as ＂Well-doer Han＂ and ＂Wise Man from East Coastal China＂ for his helpful and magnanimous deeds in the south of the Huai River.It should be mentioned that Han Zhen＇s ideology and practice of ＂Uniting theory with practice and improving the behaviors and understandings at the same time＂ are a kind of cognitive style and also his noble personality.
