In recent years, many researchers began to pay attention to Wang Yangming's achievements in literature and art, and found the uniqueness of Wang Yangming's literary creation as a philosopher. Mr. Li Yanzhu's new book Wang Yangming in the Renaissance is a representative work in this regard. Mr. Li Yanzhu is a well-known scholar in the field of Chinese literature and art. He has long focused on the development of Chinese literature and art, and has made many achievements in the field of literature and art. From the perspective of literary theory, Mr. Wang Yangming was regarded as a writer to conduct an overall study, and creatively put forward the proposition that "Wang Yangming was a thinker who opened the door of the Chinese Renaissance" (Wang Yangming in the Renaissance era, P. 15. The book is cited below, only the page numbers are noted). With the thought of the development of the times, Mr. Wang systematically and comprehensively collated and studied Wang Yangming's literary and artistic achievements in the book, and explored the national and global characteristics of Wang Yangming's thoughts in the dialogue with Western civilization, which has made important contributions to the development of Wang Yangming's research. The "Renaissance" movement, which took place in Western European countries, is an ideological and cultural movement involving natural science, social science, literature and art. "Renaissance" means to regenerate, resurrect and carry forward the excellent traditional culture in ancient times, promote the humanistic temperament, fully affirm the personality and value of people, and have a far-reaching impact on the development of the history of world civilization. Wang Yangming in the Renaissance era, with a broad world perspective, finds the special relationship between Wang Yangming and the "Renaissance": the Renaissance provides historical conditions for the establishment of Yang Ming's thoughts, while the establishment of Yang Ming's psychological system promotes the Renaissance of Chinese literature. The inheritance and development of Yang Ming's thoughts will also promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era. Wang Yangming lived in the mid Ming Dynasty from the 15th century to the 16th century. During this period, the West was in the flourishing period of the Renaissance. Copernicus created the "heliocentric theory", Columbus discovered the "new continent", Magellan sailed around the world, and literary giants such as Shakespeare and Da Vinci appeared. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Chinese civilization gradually became conservative and closed. But after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the urban commercial economy developed and the civil class grew. At this time, China also presented the scene of the Renaissance. The medical treatise compendium of Materia Medica, the music law Encyclopedia of music, the agricultural politics Encyclopedia of agriculture, and the scientific and technological work Tiangong Kaiwu were born. These works played an important role in the history of ancient science and technology in the world. The novel Journey to the west, the drama Peony Pavilion and other literary and artistic works also enjoy world reputation. Yangming's mind learning, literature, agronomy and other cultural forms are in the same social contradictory structure, and it is necessary to blend and communicate with each other. The research theme of "Wang Yangming in the Renaissance era" is intended to investigate the relationship between Yangming's thought and China's Renaissance. This is the author's problem discovery based on the historical reality of China's cultural and social development and with a broad world perspective. It is very meaningful. How to make the sage's study "publicize the restoration of the world" is a major topic put forward by history. Wang Yangming got his own answer in the process of realizing the Tao in Longchang, Guizhou. Unlike Zhu Xi's practice of changing scriptures and adding characters to the Confucian classics, Wang Yangming made a resolute decision with great academic courage
