孫應鰲與王門弟子的交誼

Closeness of Friendship between Sun Ying-Ao and His Disciples Following Wang Yang-Ming

孫應鰲是黔中王門的佼佼者；就師承脈絡看，他拜泰州王門徐樾為師，又從楚中王門蔣信游。孫氏與多位王門弟子密切往來，切磋心學，商究仁道。包括泰州王門的徐樾、耿定向、羅汝芳，江右王門的胡直、鄒善、鄒德涵、羅洪先，浙中王門的王畿、王宗沐，楚中王門的蔣信，南中王門的姜寶等，都同孫應鰲交流熱絡。他們之間或聆聽講課、在旁侍論；或登門拜訪、促膝長談；或同遊山水，增益情誼；或魚雁通音，互砥互礪；或撰序寫跋，力薦友作等等；他們往往就陽明良知說、身心之學、仁學與師道等，交相倡和，互牖互發，構成一幅幅性情與學問並茂的學術交流圖景。

Sun Ying-Ao is an outstanding scholar amongst the Wang Yang-Ming followers in Gueijhou. When tracing his following after different masters， Sun Ying-Ao firstly learned some time from his master Syu Yue， a Wang Yang-Ming follower in Taizhou， and then followed another Wang Yang-Ming follower of Chujhong， Jiang Sing-You. At that time， Sun Ying-Ao had close contacts with several Wang Yang-Ming followers. They liked to discuss the knowledge of mind， and the principles of kindheartedness. These close followers of him included Syu Yue， Geng Ding-Siang and Luo Ru-Fang belonging to Wang Yang-Ming followers in Taijhou; Hu Jhih， Jhou Shan， Zhou De-Han and Luo Hong-Sian belonging to Wang Yang-Ming followers in Jiangyou; Wang Ji and Wang Zong-Mu belonging to Wang Yang-Ming followers in Jhejhong， Jiang Sing belonging to a Wang Yang-Ming follower of Chujhong; and Jiang Bao belonging to a Wang Yang-Ming follower in Nanjhong. All of them had frequent interactions with Sun Ying-Ao. They had activities together， such as listening to lectures， making discussion after lectures， paying visits to each other， having close talks with each other， traveling far together to enjoy the sights of mountains and rivers， enhancing the friendly sentiments of each other， writing letters and give encouragements to each other， writing prefaces and reviews for the works of their friends， recommending the works of their friends to other people， and so on. They always spread to other people the principles of man’s intuitive ability to know right and wrong， the knowledge of mind and soul， the rules of benevolence， and the right ways of being teachers. They all advocated peace， took care of each other and praised each other， forming a warm picture with colorful and prosperous academic interflow.
