Taixue is the earliest institution of higher learning in China.
Before the Han Dynasty, knowledge was a private property of various schools, and few people taught it publicly. That's why Sage Kong, who recruited many disciples at that time, was so respected. But even so, there is a saying that Sage Kong only accepted 72 people, and some said that he only accepted 72 disciples.
It is recorded that "there are five or six crowned men, and six or seven young men" which add up to exactly seventy-two. However, according to research, Confucius should have had about 2,000-3,000 disciples in his lifetime, but there were not many famous ones, just those few.
Historically, Confucianism's contribution to education was indeed one step ahead of other schools of thought. The idea of equality, "There is no distinction between education and education" was no less than a blessing from heaven to the people at that time.
In the fifth year of Yuanshuo (124 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, adopted Dong Zhongshu's suggestion that "Your Majesty would establish Taixue and appoint famous teachers to educate scholars in the world", and founded Taixue in Chang'an and taught it.
"Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn" and other Confucian classics.
Although the Taixue proposed by Dong Zhongshu was mixed with his own private goods and was not as inclusive and inclusive as later universities, for the ancients in BC, it was lucky to have a place where they could learn knowledge.
At that time, most of the knowledge was treasured by major aristocratic families and could not be easily disclosed to others, let alone taught to people who were not members of the family. Therefore, the establishment of Taixue was no less than a hurricane in the academic world, further
Established the status of Confucianism.
"Book of Rites: Kingship" records: "The prince ordered teaching, and then learning. The primary school is on the left of the south of the palace, and the university is on the outskirts. The emperor is called Piyong, and the princes are called Pangong." The "Piyong" here refers to the national government.
The prototype of the university, the "Pan Palace" established in the capitals of the princely states, was the local university established in imitation of Taixue.
After the emperors of the Han Dynasty continued to increase their numbers, Taixue started with a small number of 50 students under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and reached 100 students under the Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. It increased to 200 students under the Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, and exceeded 1,000 students under the Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty
There were 3,000 people at that time, and the number increased to 10,000 during Wang Mang's time. By the time of Emperor Zhi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "study tours increased to more than 30,000 people".
What is the concept of 30,000 students? It is basically the same as the number of students in a university in later generations.
Such a large number of students naturally formed a series of industrial chains in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the boarding dormitories for Guang Taixue students had "a total of 240 rooms and 1,850 rooms," not to mention other dormitories.
Yes.
When students gather together, they are all enthusiastic young people. It is inevitable that they will have some opinions and opinions about national policies. They will all think that if one day I become an official in a certain field, what will happen...
It's okay to talk about it in normal times, but it can't be helped by the instigation of caring people. Taixue students have participated in national politics several times. During the reign of Emperor Ai of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Xian, a doctoral student, gathered more than a thousand Taixue students in an attempt to rescue Bao Xuan, the captain of Sili School who was not enforcing the law.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Fan, Li Ying and others opposed the arrogance of the eunuchs and gathered a group of imperial students to respond. Therefore, these imperial students also became the targets of the eunuchs' attacks. Many people who were involved with the party members were imprisoned. According to the record, the eunuchs
More than a thousand students were arrested and imprisoned by eunuchs, and the Imperial Academy was even closed down for a time.
In the later period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he rehabilitated those who had been imprisoned by the party, and of course he reopened the Imperial College and started recruiting students.
Logically speaking, Fei Qian is already a Langguan, so there is no need to take the path of Taixue. However, Cai Yong is an important doctor of Taixue. The courses taught by Cai Yong alone include "Poetry" and "Shu".
", "Spring and Autumn", and "Erya" also have special piano music classes, and these classes are not just for students to take which class they want. Depending on Cai Yong's mood, there are only
There will be two days of classes. The specific content of the class is decided by Cai Yong himself. He just tells the Taixue steward a few days in advance to announce it.
Therefore, Cai Yong must be invited as a doctoral representative to attend the freshman entrance ceremony of Taixue students every time they enroll. Cai Yong asked Fei Qian to make up for the apprenticeship ceremony when the new students of Taixue were admitted. On the one hand,
This is because the most solemn ceremony of apprenticeship is the apprenticeship ceremony for the entrance of Taixue; on the other hand, it also shows the importance to Fei Qian.
Therefore, Fei Qian had prepared the rituals needed to become a master early, and stood behind the Tai students in this autumn class, waiting for Cai Yong's call.
However, it is naturally impossible for Cai Yong to accept a private disciple. Before the official business, the group apprenticeship ceremony of Taixue's autumn classes was held first.
Today, the new autumn class students are all wearing Qingjin, which is a deep blue coat with an interlocking collar, and a student crown on their head. They form a square formation and stand neatly.
And behind the square formation of students, Fei Qian was wearing a long crown suit, with a cyan top and a soap bottom on the outside, and a green silk silk suit on the bottom inside, and a long crown on his head. Compared with this group of students, he looked like
He just stands out from the crowd.
Fei Qian himself feels that everyone's eyes are always glancing at him, and he feels quite uncomfortable. However, after all, he has been practicing in the future workplace for a long time. Although he feels a little awkward in his heart, you can never tell it on his face. He is standard.
With a toothless smile on his face, he stood firm and motionless.
Fei Qian felt awkward himself, but he didn't know that most of the others had stars in their eyes - Cai Yong had just accepted a new disciple, tsk tsk tsk... He was also a new disciple, tsk tsk tsk... he was so handsome.
, uh uh uh...I heard that I'm not married yet, oh oh oh...
Unlike Fei Qian, who endured the stares from the crowd, Cai Yong felt a little depressed when he saw Liu Hong on the side - I asked you to come to the ceremony, but you ended up wearing the same doctor's uniform as me. What do you want to do?
What kind of...
In fact, Liu Hong was also specially invited by Taixue to teach the "Summary Classics" class. Naturally, he also had a doctoral uniform. However, Liu Hong did not tell Cai Yong, and Cai Yong did not ask Taixue's steward...
While the Taixue students' apprenticeship ceremony was playing, Cai Yong secretly asked Liu Hong in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"
Liu Hong said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I think the Shuxiu brought by Ziyuan is pretty good, how about giving me half of it?"
Cai Yong glared, it turns out you are coming to steal my disciples, and he snorted: "You can't stop it!"
Liu Hong didn't care about Cai Yong's attitude. After all, he wanted to steal his disciples. If someone else wanted to steal his disciples, his attitude would probably be even worse than Cai Yong's.
However, Liu Hong was already prepared. He leaned slightly closer and said, "When I was in Kuaiji County, I accidentally got a volume of Huangdi's Dao Yuan Jing. If you, um..."
Cai Yong was surprised: "The Dao Yuan Jing? You mean the Dao Yuan Jing, one of the Four Classics of the Yellow Emperor? Isn't it already lost?"
"I've read it. It's undoubtedly the Daoyuan Jing. I guess it's the only one in the world..."
Cai Yong thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth and replied reluctantly: "No, it's just a book. I have thousands of books at home, and I don't miss that one." Although he said this, the flesh on his face twitched.
Tell Liu Hong that Cai Yong is actually very reluctant to part with him.
"Ahem, how about adding a handful of 'Green Qi'? If you still refuse, I will have to take it back and make it an heirloom of my Liu family..."
"Sima Xiangru's 'Green Qi'? Don't you want to deceive me?" Cai Yong glared at Liu Hong and said.
"A peerless book and a peerless piano, just to exchange for half of your disciples, just be happy, just one sentence! That is the "Daoyuan Jing", the 'Green Qi Qin'..."
Cai Yong closed his eyes and gritted his teeth for a while, and finally whispered weakly: "You can only take half, no more..."
