What do you mean by knowing and doing in one?

The unity of knowing and doing means that understanding the truth of things and implementing them are inseparable. Knowledge refers to inner awareness, understanding of things, and behavior refers to people's actual behavior.

Pinyin: [zh[zh xíng héyī] and]

In the fourth year of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty (1509), Wang Shouren, a psychologist, gave a lecture at Guiyang Institute of Civilization, and put forward the theory of the unity of knowledge and action for the first time. The so-called "integration of knowledge and practice" is not a general relationship between understanding and practice. "Knowledge" mainly refers to people's moral consciousness and thought. "Doing" mainly refers to people's moral practice and practical actions. Therefore, the relationship between knowing and doing, that is, the relationship between moral consciousness and moral practice, also includes the relationship between some thoughts and practical actions.

The practical significance of the unity of knowing and doing;

1, Wang Yangming's spirit of "unity of knowledge and action" provides scientific and pragmatic thinking methods and spiritual motivation. The relationship between knowledge and practice mentioned by Wang Yangming is the relationship between theory and practice in the sense of modern expansion. The so-called "unity of knowledge and practice" is the unity of theory and practice.

2. Wang Yangming's theory of "integration of knowledge and practice" has a warning effect on the current anti-corruption campaign.

Now some officials are divided in knowing and doing, saying one thing and doing another, which has ruined the party style and political style and lost trust in the people. In this case, it is especially necessary to advocate "to conscience" and "integration of knowledge and practice" to improve the moral and humanistic quality of cadres. This has a positive effect on enlightening officials' moral conscience, curbing corruption, promoting clean politics, governing for the people and winning the trust of the people.

3. Advocating "the unity of knowledge and practice" will help to promote the inheritance and development of China's excellent traditional culture and promote the construction of "humanity" under the new situation. Wang Yangming's theory of "Conscience" and "Unity of Knowing and Doing" takes "Action" as the core, pursues the concept of moral education, and emphasizes the unity of theory and practice, which can play a positive role in giving play to the role of "culture for practical use" and promoting moral education for all.
