Li Nanshan walked away in disappointment, leaving a kind of talented people looking at each other. Some people smiled contemptuously and even said, "Barbarians will be barbarians after all. How can they truly understand the true meaning of China?"
He seemed to be thinking carefully about Li Nanshan's words.
Why does the court support new learning?
Although the new learning continued to be promoted and developed, ministers in the court repeatedly sent memorials to ban the new learning, but why did the emperor never show any expression, and even the highest-ranking princes in the court turned a blind eye to this.
Don't these big guys see that the new society will have a huge impact on traditional Confucianism?
They must have seen, and know better than anyone else, the huge impact of the new learning.
But why are we still allowing Xinxue to continue to develop and grow?
This shows that the new learning is not without merit. It must have huge benefits that no one has seen, and it is also of huge benefit to the entire country.
"Gone, gone~"
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was still looking like a pig brother, got up and walked outside.
There is really no need to waste time here.
A group of sour and rotten scholars who play word games are no different from countless poetry and literary gatherings in history. They can neither write poems or articles that can surpass the ancients, nor can they discuss the strategy of governing the country that can solve the problems facing the Ming Dynasty.
.
They are like the countless annotations written around the Four Books and Five Classics, repeating yesterday's stories without any meaning.
"I haven't seen enough, and the oiran hasn't come out yet. If I leave now, wouldn't my trip be in vain?"
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and stood up reluctantly and said.
"Do you still need a woman?"
"Let Korea and Japan send you some more later. Any one of them will be no worse than the oiran here."
Liu Jin said speechlessly, this guy is now able to taste the essence and taste, and he is addicted to it and can't help himself.
"Can this be the same~"
Zhu Houzhao replied helplessly, but still followed Liu Jin outside.
As soon as Li Nanshan left, Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao followed suit. The talented people present all looked at Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, feeling very surprised.
But soon, they returned to the game they had just played. After all, the wine, food, and beauties should not be let down, not to mention the fact that they had three or five like-minded friends.
Liu Jin returned to his house and fell into deep thought.
The problems facing the Ming Dynasty now are no longer the problems of internal and external troubles before, but the problems between the old and the new, the struggle between the old and the new ideas.
The situation is better now. Although New Learning is flourishing, no special trends of thought or figures have emerged so far. They are just promoting basic education and studying scientific and natural phenomena.
For traditional Confucianism, although the new learning has posed a threat, it has not directly shaken the rule of Confucianism. Not only are officials above the court admitted through the traditional imperial examination, but also in the field of thought, Confucianism
Many ideological propositions still occupy an absolutely dominant position.
Therefore, although both sides were fighting, there was not much fierce movement.
Upsetting the sky, officials above the court demanded that the new schools be closed down, resulting in a general strike.
This is not a big deal, nor is it unsolvable.
But in the future, once the status of New Learning becomes firm, and new trends of thought based on New Learning and some leading figures appear in the ideological field, the dispute between the old and new trends of thought will be very terrifying.
Especially when the new learning demands the same political status as the old learning, traditional Confucianism will be destroyed, and a mighty 'war' will inevitably break out between the two!
This kind of war will sweep across the Ming Dynasty, and even the entire world, from the ideological field to the economic field to the political field. The final result is very likely to be the outbreak of war, confirming one's rule in the most primitive and most effective way.
"What happens in the future will be discussed later. All I can do is to do what my generation should do. As for what will happen to future generations, that is a matter for future generations."
"Now it is best to ease this contradiction and buy time so that Ming Dynasty can establish its hegemony and dominance over the entire world."
Liu Jin thought for a long time and finally smiled bitterly.
There are many things, even if he is a time traveler, even if he has a cheat, Liu Jin feels very powerless.
The trend and general trend of the times and the rolling wheel of history cannot be stopped by anyone.
"Sir, several professors from Royal Institute of Technology, Imperial College, Imperial University, and Medical School are here to visit~"
While Liu Jin was deep in thought, a servant came to report to Liu Jin.
"Please~"
When Liu Jin heard this, he was also slightly startled. Professors from these higher education institutions he founded would come to visit him together. There must be something going on.
But is there anything worth asking professors from these universities to come to find themselves with?
Soon, eight professors from several universities came to Liu Jin's study.
"Please sit down, please sit down~"
Liu Jin entertained these professors with a smile on his face.
Being able to obtain the title of professor in an institution of higher learning means that one has reached a very advanced level in their respective fields and is very worthy of respect.
After some pleasantries, Liu Jin finally learned the names of these professors. Jiang Ming, Dong Zhixia, Wang Shisong, Zhou Pinghu, Zhang Xianzu, etc. were all well-known professors in their respective colleges and universities, and they were also professors in the colleges.
person in charge.
"Mr. Liu, the main reason why I came here this time is to discuss the history textbooks in the new school education curriculum!"
Jiang Ming is the dean of the Daming Royal Institute of Technology, and he is also the advocate who took the lead in coming to see Liu Jin this time.
He was originally a learned scholar and the dean of a famous academy. Later, he was invited by Liu Jin to be the dean of the Royal Institute of Technology of the Ming Dynasty.
The teaching method he has always pursued is "strict teachers make good students", so he has extremely high requirements for the students of Daming Royal Institute of Technology, and the education is extremely strict. The students he cultivates live up to the word "royal" and shine in many fields.
.
Liu Jin obviously made the decision to invite a traditional Confucian scholar to be the dean of the new school after careful consideration and careful study. Although Jiang Ming was a traditional Confucian scholar, he was not a rotten Confucian. His thoughts were inclusive, he was good at learning and thinking, and he was interested in the new learning.
Be tolerant and even be able to see the positive side of new learning.
Although the Royal Institute of Technology under his supervision has extremely high requirements in Chinese studies, it does not hinder the teaching and promotion of new studies. Students from the Royal Institute of Technology even feel that it is excellent to study more traditional Chinese classics.
People need to understand things and understand right and wrong, and traditional Confucianism has done an extremely good job in this regard.
"History textbook?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately became confused.
This history class matter is actually worthy of these professors coming to find me. Could it be that there is a major mistake in the history textbook compiled by the new school?
"Yes, Mr. Liu~"
"As the territory of our Ming Dynasty continues to expand, more and more areas are included in our Ming Dynasty, and more and more tribes have become the people of the emperor."
"We soon discovered a major problem, that is, there are major problems with our current history textbooks, and we had to respond to Mr. Liu together."
Jiang Ming nodded solemnly and said.
The institution of higher learning founded by Liu Jin not only shoulders the responsibility of teaching and educating people and cultivating higher talents, but is also responsible for the compilation and updating of teaching materials for new schools, and the unified examination and admission of middle schools to higher education institutions.
The compilation and updating of history textbooks are naturally within the scope of their responsibility. Under normal circumstances, these institutions of higher learning take the lead in organizing the compilation of history textbooks and correcting errors.
Originally, this kind of thing has been done by historians in all dynasties in history. For example, Sima Qian was a historian who wrote "Historical Records", a historical book that has been passed down to future generations, recording a large amount of history in detail.
However, history books are history books after all, and they are very different from the history textbooks needed by new students.
First of all, history textbooks do not need to record in detail the history that occurred at each stage, but rather outline the process of historical development.
For example, it is enough to know about the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tang Dynasty, etc., and then some of the major events that happened in these dynasties and the important figures who appeared. There is no need to record them in detail like history books.
Another thing is to change the classical Chinese in history books into vernacular, and all new schools use vernacular for teaching.
Originally, this history textbook had been compiled a long time ago and is being used on a large scale in new schools.
"What big problem?"
Liu Jin asked quickly.
"As the saying goes, we can learn about gains and losses by using people as a mirror, and we can learn about prosperity and change by using history as a mirror."
"Also, if a country wants to destroy its people, it must first remove its history, destroy its people, and defeat its rules. It must first remove its history, destroy its people's talents, and obliterate its people's teachings. It must first remove its history and barbarians.
Ancestors must first leave their history~"
"History is the most important thing for a nation and a country."
"Because only by knowing the past and present can we see the future. Only with the past can we have the present and the future."
Jiang Ming was older, but his voice was very loud. His words made Liu Jin and other professors nod.
History is a very important thing, and it is also an extremely solemn thing.
You must know that the historians in history will truly record what happened in history even if they died. The good or bad of the king must be clearly written down, because this is for future generations to see.
, let future generations know everything that happened in the past.
The course of history is also taken very seriously in new schools. It is one of the main courses, with very high scores, and it is also a course that must be learned well. This is much more important and serious than in later generations.
