王阳明 / Wang Yangming

王阳明 / Wang Yangming appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》13丨 公孙鞅苛刻变法惹杀身(1) as a later analogy for collective-responsibility governance. The host says Wang Yangming could teach ordinary people moral harmony while also applying 十家牌法, where one household’s wrongdoing implicated the linked group.

The page is source-scoped. Its role here is not Wang Yangming’s full philosophy, but the episode’s claim that neighbor-group surveillance and liability are a recurring governance instrument, not only a feature of 商鞅’s Qin reforms.
