Tao Zhixing changed his name because he was influenced by the Ming Dynasty's Wang Yangming's theory of "the unity of knowledge and action". He believed that knowledge and action were inseparable, and knowledge came before practice. However, with the deepening of practice and understanding, he gradually discovered the problem in Wang Yangming's theory, which was detached from social reality and alienated the general public.

In line with his philosophy, he officially changed his name to Tao Xingzhi in 1934. He changed his name to make it consistent with his theory.
