ABSTRACT

Xu Wei was a famous thinker, poet, and artist in the Ming Dynasty of China. Since Yang Ke, who was one of the "Ten Sons of Yuezhong" together with Xu Wei, was a student of Wang Yangming, and the three of them were from Shaoxing, Xu Wei also became a follower of Wang Yangming's "Xin Xue" thought. Xu Wei integrated many traditional Chinese philosophical thoughts from Wang Yangming into his poetry, literature and paintings, leaving behind many ideological treasures. However, there is a very strange phenomenon in the study of Xu Wei's philosophical thoughts, that is, the evaluation of Xu Wei's works by later generations is very different from the evaluation of Xu Wei's works when he was alive. Through the analysis of this special phenomenon, this article enters Xu Wei's dialectical self-cognition world. Taking the case of Xu Wei as an example, we form an objective philosophical analysis of personal cognition under the joint influence of Chinese Confucian and Taoist cultural traditions and the ethos of the times.
