Ancient Chinese text reveals key to understanding philosophy of the mind.
Wang Yinglin suggests that the concept of Jing from the Book of Songs is the basis of the philosophy of the mind. This idea is supported by connections between Jing and the mind made by other thinkers like Yang Jian and Mencius. Lu Jiuyuan and Wang Yangming also emphasize Jing and the Book of Songs in their teachings. Wang Yinglin's perspective offers a new way to understand the school of the mind.
