When Zhu Zi educated Chen Chun for the first time he emphasized the methods of exploring origin. When Zhu Zi educated Chen Chun again he emphasized the methods of investing things. Because Wang Maohong thought that both Cheng Yi and Zhu Zi didn't mention the methods of exploring origin, he speculated that the methods of exploring origin was merely Chen Chun's idea. Actually, Zhu Zi had two kinds of methods of moral cultivation; one is the methods of investing things, another is the methods of understanding noumenon first. The methods of exploring origin was just the methods of understanding noumenon first. The purpose of Zhu Zi's education of Chen Chun had changed because Zhu Zi wanted to educate Chen Chun according to his talent and wanted to educate Chen Chun according to time. At first Zhi Zi considered Chen Chun as a talented follower, so he taught him the wise methods of exploring origin. After ten years Zhu Zi thought that Chen Chun had understood noumenon so he taught him the methods of investing things. Wang Maohong's criticism of Chen Chun was both misunderstanding of Zhu Zi and misunderstanding of Chen Chun.
