On Wang Yangming's "the Extension of Innate Knowledge"

"The Extension Of Innate Knowledge "is the central theory of Wang Yangming's learning of the mind-heart. It is posted through criticizing "Cheng and Zhu". In the theory, innate knowledge is raised to original substance, which meaning has several grades.
