Why is Wang Yangming so revered in traditional Chinese culture?

Wang Yangming guided the development of Neo-Confucianism, and the establishment of merit, virtue and speech realized the ultimate goal of the scholar. In my private opinion, the development of Confucianism stopped at the end of the Ming Dynasty with the three great masters. Confucius and Mencius are Confucianism, Confucianism is more than just Confucius and Mencius, looking at the late Ming doctrine, my generation cut can no longer say that Confucianism is pedantic.
