- Abstract:
- The rsearch on mental health in China is highly desired in that it is a key to realizing the Healthy China goal as well as a means of promoting the traditional Chinese culture. The Wang Yangming school of Heart and Mind can offer solutions to modern China’s mental health problems. In particular, its theory of unity of knowledge and action can be applied to the mental health issues, which is a new way to foster the psychological well-being. Thus, this study explores the underlying relationship between the unity of knowledge and action theory and mental health. With employing the theory from the Chinese classical Wang Yangming school of Heart and Mind, it adds new thoughts and directions to the studies on mental health, which can potentially benefit Chinese people’s psychological well-being.
