Annotation: The extraterritorial communication of Wang Yangming's thought is mainly realized through the sea route, and its communication carrier is closely related to the traffic network in East Asian waters, forming a communication pattern starting from the coast of China and radiating to Japan and Southeast Asia. As a bridge of cultural exchange, port provides important support and guarantee for the localization development of Yang Ming's thought. The eastward spread of Yangming studies broke the single dominant position of Zhuzi studies in East Asia, promoted the theoretical innovation and school differentiation within Confucianism, formed a school of Yangming studies with regional characteristics through its integration with local culture, reshaped the pattern of Confucianism in East Asia, and became an important resource for cross-cultural communication through dialogue with western philosophy.
