[edit] gewu

Why isn't there any mention of 格物 gewu? I thought that this was more important to Zhu Xi than any form of meditation -- or rather, if it is a form of meditation, gewu is by far his preferred method. I've also never heard of chanding. Is this a recent discovery? Jiawen

there should also be mention of the method he outlined concerning the extension of knowledge. His proto-scientific method is considered to be one of his greatest contributions

Um, that's what I said. Gewu is "the discrimination of things" -- his proto-scientific method.Jiawen 18:21, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
