Record of training - Denshuuroku

This book is a collection of dialogues and letters on philosophy written by Wang Yangming (Shuren), the founder of Yangmingism, with his disciples. It currently consists of three volumes. It represents the core of Yangming's thought well. It was only in its current form after it was included in the Complete Works of King Wencheng in 1572 (6th year of the Longqing era). The first volume of the sayings was recorded by Xu Ai and other disciples, and was published when Yangming was 47 years old (1518) after being personally reviewed by him. It conveys Yangming's thoughts from around the age of 41 to 47, such as the idea that the mind is the same as reason and that knowledge and action are one. The letters in the middle volume were compiled by Nan Daji, and Qian Dehong made deletions and corrections, and published them together with the second volume of the sayings he compiled himself. When they were included in the Complete Works of King Wencheng, they were divided into three volumes. The middle and lower volumes were compiled after Yangming's death and were not written by him. They develop ideas that he established mainly in his later years, such as the idea of ​​attaining one's innate knowledge of good.

陽明学の祖、王陽明（守仁(しゅじん)）の門人との問答および論学の書翰(しょかん)を集録した書。現行三巻。陽明思想の中核をよく表す。現行の形態になったのは、1572年（隆慶6）『王文成公全書』に収録されて以降である。上巻語録は徐愛(じょあい)ら門人による記録で、陽明47歳（1518）のとき、彼の親覧を経て出版されたもの。心即理、知行合一(ちこうごういつ)など、陽明41～47歳ごろの思想を伝える。中巻の書翰は南大吉(なんだいきつ)の編纂(へんさん)したものを銭徳洪(せんとくこう)が削除訂正を加え、自ら編纂した下巻語録とともに刊行したもの。それらが『王文成公全書』に収録される際に、三巻に配当されたのである。中・下巻は陽明死後に編纂されたもので、陽明の手は加わっていない。致良知(ちりょうち)などおもに晩年に確立された思想が展開されている。
