Peng Jinrong and Zhao Wen both know what kind of person their men are. Liu Ziguang has some small skills. He knows new accounting methods, can invent and create some gadgets, and sometimes sings and fills in lyrics, but the times are so rare that everyone
I suspect that he got it from plagiarism. Besides, he is very good at fighting and eating. He can fight hundreds of people by himself and can feed more than a dozen people. All in all, Liu Ziguang is only good at this. At most, he can be regarded as a gangster who knows martial arts.
big eater.
Can such a person go to teach in an academy? It's ridiculous. Peng Jinrong and Zhao Wen tried hard to persuade Liu Ziguang not to go out and embarrass himself. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to be shameless, but he can't make everyone in the Hou Ye's house embarrassed.
When he went out, Liu Ziguang saw that they didn't seem to be joking, so he gave up the idea of teaching and just said he would pay a private visit incognito to see how Gu Yanwu was doing at the academy.
The next day, Liu Ziguang put on his linen robe and rode a donkey straight to the Jinling Academy in the east of the city. Outside the east gate of Nanjing is the beautiful Zhongshan Mountain, which was originally built in Donglin, Wuxi.
After the academy was demolished by the eunuchs, it was re-opened here under the care of Qian Qianyi. The Jinling Academy invested by Liu Ziguang and managed by Gu Yanwu is also located here. In addition to these two academies, there are also other small schools here.
, the study room and the like are full of books.
Academy - originated in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. It is an educational organization form with an important position in the history of ancient Chinese education and academic history. From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, wars were frequent and official schools declined. Many scholars fled to the mountains and forests to imitate Buddhist Zen forests.
The lecture system created academies, which formed a unique educational organization form in Chinese feudal society. The academy is a higher education institution that combines book collection, teaching and research.
Most academies raised their own funds and built school buildings. Teaching took the form of self-study, a combination of joint lectures and teacher guidance, with self-study as the mainstay. In the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 1,200 academies, but some of them were government-run academies and some were private.
The academies gave free lectures, criticized current ills, and became a venue for ideological public opinion and political activities. When the eunuch party was in power, he ordered the ban on the destruction of academies across the country. After Emperor Tianqi came to power, academies rose again, such as Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Jiangxi, and Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan.
Yingtianfu Academy in Shangqiu, Henan Province, and Songyang Academy in Dengfeng, Henan Province. They are both famous academies that gather local scholars. Of course, the most famous one is Donglin Academy located in the eastern suburbs of Beijing.
But Donglin Academy has changed a bit now, because its mountain chief was concurrently held by Lord Qian, the head of the cabinet at that time, so it has taken on some official colors and turned into a test-style academy that emphasizes teaching and examinations, and the students are also
Sons of officials, sons of wealthy families from all over the world, and the like.
Jinling Academy, on the other hand, adheres to the true nature of an academy. It is not for utilitarian purposes and does not set any threshold for students. It adopts a form of combining teaching and research. All schools of thought can give lectures, ask questions and debate here. Its characteristics are
In order to educate and cultivate people's knowledge and virtue, it was full of people and bustling when it was opened.
Liu Ziguang came to the gate of the academy, tied the little donkey to a tree, and strolled into the academy. The academy is open to management, no one is guarding the door, and anyone can come in to listen to classes. The academy is very large, built according to the terrain of Zhongshan Mountain, with white walls.
With blue tiles, empty flower-glazed ridges, overhanging eaves and rolling sheds, the autumn wind blowing, the leaves rustling, coupled with the sound of reading in the academy and the young students coming and going from time to time, it really feels like a later university.
There are lecture halls, study rooms, collection rooms, sutra halls, Confucian temples and other buildings in the academy. Liu Ziguang couldn't figure it out for the first time. He walked leisurely and walked inside. Suddenly he saw a pavilion in front of him, where countless students were listening to a gentleman.
There was a lecture, so he came up and pretended to listen.
The lecturer was a middle-aged man with a Hunan accent, with a long beard and a green shirt. He sat on it and talked eloquently. The people below listened with gusto, but Liu Ziguang struggled to understand some of it.
This gentleman was talking about philosophy. He said that there is nothing else in the entire universe except "Qi". "Qi" only gathers and disperses, coming and going without increasing or decreasing, birth or death, the so-called existence or non-existence, virtual reality, etc., it is all about "Qi"
The movement forms of gathering, dispersing, coming and going, bending and stretching. He also demonstrated the eternal immortality of "Qi" with examples, believing that this eternal and infinite "Qi" is an entity, and the essence and phenomenon of everything in the guest world are objective realities.
Yes, and it is composed of this kind of Qi,
Hearing these words made Liu Ziguang dizzy, but he could basically tell that this gentleman was a primitive materialist. He could at least say that the world is material and not born from the heart. This is already a great progress in this era.
, As for the so-called "qi", it would be more reasonable if it were explained by atoms. In any case, it is worthy of recognition to have such a philosophical point of view these days. Then a few unconvinced students jumped out and used Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism
He refuted the principle-based point of view, and the two parties began to debate. The teacher emphasized that "qi" is the entity of yin and yang changes, and principle is the regularity shown by the change process. Li is the principle of qi, and there is no isolated reason outside the principle.
.thus refuting this kind of objective idealism that “unifies mind, nature, and nature over reason”.
As the teacher's last sentence ended, "To express the nature of the heart and to express the nature and reason, all must be said in the Qi. If there is no Qi, there is nothing." Warm applause erupted in the library. Liu Ziguang
While clapping along, I secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, I didn't rush to ask Gu Yanwu to become a professor. Otherwise, I really couldn't cope with it and was embarrassed in vain. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
Liu Ziguang looked around. The people listening to the philosophy class here were all middle-aged uncles, neatly dressed in scarves and long gowns. He heard them praise each other: "After all, it is Mr. Wang from Yuelu Academy. His words are like clearing the clouds and seeing the sun."
Liu Ziguang asked casually: "Which Mr. Wang?"
Others immediately looked at him with disdain: "I don't even know Mr. Chuanshan, are you new here?"
Seeing that Liu Ziguang still looked confused, the uncles looked down upon him even more and said contemptuously: "Mr. Wang Fuzhi, whom our mountain chief specially invited from Changsha Yuelu Academy, is one of the three contemporary universities together with our mountain chief and Mr. Nan Lei."
Or, you haven’t heard of it, haven’t you?”
Having said this, and saying that he didn't know him would make him look like an idiot, Liu Ziguang could only pretend to be suddenly enlightened and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Chuanshan. I naturally have admired the famous name for a long time. This theory is good, but still
There are some flaws, this so-called anger... I really don’t agree with it.”
Everyone was furious after hearing this. Why did another defender of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism come out? Just as he was about to criticize Liu Ziguang, Wang Fuzhi walked down from the podium and asked politely: "Excuse me, little friend, is there anything else in my explanation just now?"
Any shortcomings?"
Liu Ziguang hurriedly said: "Mr. Chuanshan misunderstood. It's not that there is any fallacy in Mr.'s theory, it's just that the expression is not so precise. Everything in this world is composed of extremely tiny particles. Such particles can be called molecules and atoms. They are
It constitutes the most basic unit of everything in the world.”
Wang Fuzhi stroked his beard and laughed: "My little friend's theory is not different from my theory. It's just a different way of saying it. As the saying goes, different paths lead to the same destination, does it make any difference whether it's called Qi or molecules and atoms?"
Liu Ziguang argued: "It's different of course. You are a philosopher and you should have a rigorous academic attitude. You said that matter is composed of Qi. Then I ask you, what factual basis do you have? Can you let me see what this Qi looks like?"
Is it? Huh, you don’t need to say it. I know you can’t take it out, but I said that this molecule does indeed exist. Let’s just call it water. Keep dividing the water until the characteristics of the water are not destroyed.
, the smallest unit that appears at this time is a water molecule composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The water molecule can be further divided into two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. This is the final state of water, and the same is true for other substances.
It is composed of a variety of different molecules. Iron has iron molecules, copper has copper molecules, and trees have hydrocarbon molecules. Various molecules can also combine with each other. For example, if rust is rusted, it is oxidized in technical terms, then it will
It turns into iron oxide. Oxygen molecules and iron molecules form new substances. Alas, it is too complicated for you to understand. Anyway, everything in this world is not composed of pure gas, but composed of various elements. This
As for the specific subjects involved, you will understand when you have the opportunity to attend lectures at the Capital University of Science and Technology."
Liu Ziguang's words were even more confusing than Wang Fuzhi's. They were all terms that no one could understand, but this was enough to intimidate these scholars. Everyone stroked their beards thoughtfully and pretended to listen.
He seemed to understand. When Liu Ziguang finished his last sentence, Wang Fuzhi raised his hands and said: "The capital is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Could this gentleman be a commoner scholar from the prestigious Beijing University of Science and Technology?"
Liu Ziguang founded a total of three institutions of higher learning, one is the Jinling Academy for liberal arts, one is the Jingshi Lecture Hall of Military Academy, and the other is the Jingshi University of Science and Technology, which is a science institution. The people in it are all the best in the country.
Carefully selected science enthusiasts, craftsmen with a spirit of research, etc., the last time Enke passed the exam, many engineering scholars were awarded. This group of Jinshi who have not passed the stage of recruitment are called commoner Jinshi, because they were rejected by the officials controlled by Qian Qianyi
, not many hold actual positions, most of them go to the Polytechnic University to engage in lectures or scientific research, and are relatively well-known in the capital. Liu Ziguang's profound scientific principles naturally make people think of these people from the Polytechnic University.
"No, I'm just a child who loves science. I've never even been a scholar. I'm talking nonsense. I hope you'll understand." After Liu Ziguang finished speaking, he cupped his fists and wanted to run away.
