The class bell rang, and laughter and laughter filled the campus.

In the first class in the afternoon, Yang Yungong came again, carrying a bookcase in one hand and a ruler in the other.

In the morning, he used Yunjing to kill chickens as a warning to monkeys, and at lunchtime he caught a few more examples. Seeing him, a bunch of little kids were very frightened and sat down obediently without saying a word.

However, he was not the only one who came. Behind him, there was a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old.

The little boy wore the same clothes as Yunjing and the others, with two horns on his head. He was fair and fair. He couldn't be said to be handsome at his age, but he was very good-looking. He thought he would be a handsome boy when he grew up. When he walked into the classroom, he looked around

A group of children in the classroom looked a little carelessly.

Seeing the child, Yun Jingxin thought that this was a new classmate?

He glanced at the other person casually and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was the first day of school. It was normal for someone to fail to arrive in time in the morning. He wouldn't be surprised if people continued to join him in the next two days.

Sure enough, after Yang Yungong walked into the classroom, he looked at a group of children and said: "Classmates, he is your new classmate. He will study with you in the future. You don't know him yet. Next, I will ask him to introduce himself. Everyone is familiar with him."

familiar"

With that said, he turned around and waved to the little boy: "Lin Yexing, please introduce yourself so that the classmates can get to know you."

The little boy named Lin Yexing didn't know whether it was because he was slightly older than Yun Jing or his family background, but he didn't have any stage fright when faced with such an occasion. He raised his chin slightly and stepped forward.

He looked at a group of children in front of him and smiled and said: "Hello, classmates, my name is Lin Yexing, I come from the county. It seems that you are all younger than me, so in my eyes, you are all my younger brothers. What will happen in the future?

Feel free to come to me, I am not bragging, I..."

Seeing him chatting there and looking tugged, although Yang Yungong looked calm, he had been teaching for many years and he still didn't realize that this guy might be a thorn in his side, so he thought about how to sharpen his spirit.

.

No matter where you come from or whose child you are, you must abide by the rules of the school when you come to school, even if you are a nobleman, you are no exception!

So before he could finish speaking, he interrupted: "Okay, his name is Lin Yexing, do you all know him?" After saying this, he looked at Lin Yexing and said, "Classmate Lin Yexing, you are taller than them.

Gao, go sit down at the empty seat at the back, class will start soon."

Lin Yexing was obviously a little unfinished and seemed a little aggrieved, but he still said obediently: "Yes, sir."

When Lin Yexing introduced himself, Wang Bolin and the rest of the brats couldn't hide their secrets and rolled their eyes quietly, as if they didn't want to see that guy dragging him away for 25,800,000 yuan.

Yunjing felt a little amused, secretly thinking that with the arrival of this guy named Lin Yexing, his future study life would probably not be boring.

It seems that at every stage of study, there are one or two special classmates in the class?

After the interlude, Yang Yungong officially started class. He looked at everyone and said: "Students, you just entered school today. From now on, specializing in learning will accompany you throughout your life. But for you, it is still too early to do learning.

In the next long period of time, you will mainly learn two things, literacy and etiquette."

After saying this, he paused and said: "Literacy is to lay the foundation for your future learning. In our Dali Dynasty, the Mandarin language has a total of more than 73,000 compiled characters, including common characters, rare characters and some

There are so many words with special meanings, and of course it is impossible to master them all in a short time. The commonly used ones are not commonly used, and you may not even be able to learn and master them all in your lifetime. But it doesn’t matter. As the same saying goes, learning should be applied throughout your life in the future.

All your life, take your time. Now you need to start with simple learning. Once you have mastered thousands of common words, you can gradually get into contact with other aspects of knowledge. Rare words and uncommon words with special meanings will be discussed in the future.

In the end, I will try my best to master them all, so I won’t go into too much detail here.”

"The second is etiquette. Etiquette is a manifestation of a person's cultivation and moral character. It will also run through your life. It can even be said that etiquette is the soul of a scholar. If you don't even understand etiquette, such a person has no knowledge.

No matter how much, people will look down on you. I guess you have heard of the words etiquette and law, right? Etiquette and law, etiquette comes first and law comes last. Etiquette is etiquette, law is law, and etiquette must come before law. This shows that etiquette is

The importance, of course, is for us readers.”

"My Dali dynasty has a vast territory and many folk customs. There are classmates, elders, parents, teachers, juniors, strangers, Jianghu guests...etc., when facing different people, there is a set of etiquette. These will be in the future

What you need to learn is that only by integrating etiquette into our souls can we show our style and quality as scholars."

"As your teacher, I don't teach you how to read and write. What I want to teach you is your etiquette. Etiquette is etiquette, and etiquette is appearance. From now on, you should look at it carefully and study it seriously. If you don't understand, ask questions. You must master it.

Use good etiquette to avoid making jokes in the future. Many times, the etiquette is not in place, and sometimes even an action or dressing is wrong. What was originally used to praise someone or receive guests may become humiliating and offend others. Therefore, do not be careless. You must

We must study etiquette seriously.”

Having said so much, Yang Yungong emphasized the importance of etiquette.

After finishing speaking, he paused slightly to let the children have time to digest. Of course, he did not expect these children to understand the importance of etiquette all at once. Again, whether it is knowledge or etiquette, it will be accompanied by a

The life of a scholar will come slowly from now on.

There is no end to learning, nothing more than this.

After a while, facing a group of ignorant children, he continued: "Next, you take out the etiquette book, the one with a picture of a figure on the cover, and we will start learning the most basic etiquette."

It turns out this is a book about etiquette, Yun Jing thought to himself after taking out the book. At first, he thought it was some kind of martial arts secret book...

After everyone took it out, Yang Yungong said: "The content in the book is a comparison, you can't understand it. Now, don't read the book, look at me. I originally wanted to teach you the sitting posture today, but you are from different places."

, we are not familiar with each other, so I will first teach you the etiquette of greeting people under normal circumstances!"

After everyone looked at him, he stretched out his hands to face everyone, first shook his left hand and said: "This is the left hand. In many etiquette, the left hand usually represents ourselves." Then he shook his right hand and said: "

Secondly, the right hand represents others”

After everyone understood it, he put his hands together and made a clasping gesture and said, "This is the simplest hand-over salute. Maybe everyone has seen it before, right?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Then he added: "Do you think this fist-holding ceremony is very simple? But what I want to tell you is that there are many details in it. I will briefly explain it to you now. You only need to make a preliminary understanding.

, I will learn more slowly and deeply in the future..."

"I have just said that in many etiquettes, the left hand represents oneself and the right hand represents others. So this simple fist-holding ceremony has many explanations. When we perform a fist-holding ceremony to our elders, the left hand representing ourselves cannot be outside.

Instead, we should wrap it with our right hand. Facing the elders, this is a sign of respect for the elders. On the contrary, when we perform a fist-cup salute to the juniors, we should wrap our right hands with our left hand to show that we are the elders. There is a saying in this

Facing the elders, wrapping the left hand with the right hand representing others means expecting the elders to be tolerant to the younger ones."

"There are too many details in this simple fist-holding ceremony. I still use the metaphor of the fist-holding ceremony for elders. Specifically, the five fingers of the left hand are pointed together into a palm, the thumb is bent in the palm, and then the fist is made. The thumb of the left hand also represents us.

You, hold your thumb in the palm of your hand like this to salute your elders to show your humility, then make a palm with your right hand to cover your left hand, the four fingers of your right hand should be attached to the outside of your left fist, and the thumb of your right hand should be pressed on the big part of your left fist.

On the thumb joint, this is a simple fist-cup salute to the elders, but it is not over yet. It can even be said to be the beginning of this simple etiquette. After completing this action, facing different elders, our next actions will be different.

If we are facing mentors, parents, or elders like us, we need to make a fist in front of our chest, then bend down, lower our heads, and raise our fists upward. If we are facing elders like parents or mentors who are not blood relatives, we don’t need to bend down.

Simply raise the fists on your chest upwards. If you are facing an unfamiliar elder, you only need to push forward. If you are facing an elder who has a grudge against you, you can press down. Then

It means to humiliate the other party. This is just a simple elder ceremony. There are many more explanations in it. I will not describe them one by one. I will learn more about it in the future, but you must remember that etiquette is in your heart. Remember

Don't mess around, even if it's the elder you hate, they are still elders. You can express your dissatisfaction with formal etiquette, but you must not mess up!"

Yang Yungong talked a lot. This was just a simple fist-holding ceremony for the elders. It can be imagined that there is a lot of knowledge in such things as etiquette. A group of children were immediately confused after hearing this.

Among them, Yunjing remembered all his movements and key points, but he also knew that not all of them. He didn't feel that he completely understood this simple fist-holding ceremony to the elders. This was just a simple example given by Yang Yungong, not a real teaching of this etiquette.

Obviously Yang Yungong didn't expect these children to understand it all at once, just a simple description.

Then he smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about what I just said. You will learn it in detail in the future. Now, I will teach you a very commonly used fist-holding ceremony. It is a fist-holding ceremony for classmates, friends and peers. The right hand is

Master the fist, cover your right hand with your left hand, and then the details come. To salute your peers, the thumbs of both hands need to be parallel to the fist. If you are facing a close friend, at this time, your left thumb on behalf of yourself needs to be behind.

To show humility to close friends, if it is an ordinary friend or classmate, the thumb of the left hand can be in front, and then placed on the chest and pushed flat to greet the greeting. This simple greeting is completed. The same action, if it is a peer you do not know.

, but you admire his knowledge. Based on the previous action, you need to have your left thumb behind you. When you salute, you can raise your fists to show your respect for the other person. If you despise his character

and knowledge, you can put your left thumb in front of you and push it down instead of pushing it flat. This is a bit humiliating, but it is not a last resort. If you are extremely disgusted or even have a grudge against your peers, you can simply put it on behalf of

The thumb of other people's right hand is in the palm of the hand, which is extremely humiliating..."

"Okay, having said all that, this is just the simplest common courtesy. In today's class, we will mainly learn this. Next, I will teach you step by step. Once you learn it, you can practice saluting each other. You must master it thoroughly.

This etiquette"

After he finished speaking, he officially began the detailed teaching and practice phase of this simple etiquette, including stance, tone of voice, etc. The details were overwhelming.

Yunjing once knew that there were many etiquettes in ancient times, but he didn't realize that it was so complicated. There were so many explanations for a simple salute. This was just a fist-holding salute for ordinary people. A simple fist-holding salute also involved different people and occasions.

, it can be said that this simple fist-holding ceremony is a profound knowledge in itself!

A group of children studied seriously and did not dare to laugh and joke. Even if they made mistakes, Yang Yunchong would patiently correct them and provide guidance.

From now on, Yang Yungong will only teach them etiquette. This is a very profound course and extremely important. It is related to a person's moral character. They must not be careless in the slightest. If the etiquette is not in place, it will be a small matter to make a joke and offend someone.

It matters a lot if people even make enemies...
