The literal meaning of the four words is very simple, there is no fancy rhetoric embellishment, it is just a simple literal meaning.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, when inscribing on this huge stone, shouldn't it be about something bigger and more grand, such as family, country, and world?
"Why do you choose the four words "never forget your original intention" and not the others?"
Li Chen's voice came at the right time.
He said: "Because all of you understand the principle of rhetoric, and you have heard too many words about serving the country."
"Perhaps many people have told you to put the country first, but I say that before doing things for the country and benefiting the people, the first thing you must do is not forget your original intention."
"In the future, some of you may enter the officialdom, some of you may return to your hometown to teach, and some of you may travel around the mountains and rivers. Each of you will have your own encounters and experiences."
"These things, whether big or small, happy or sad, will affect your thoughts, thinking and behavioral habits. Those who see evil are evil, and those who see good are compassionate. This is generally true."
"The meaning of these four words written by me is hope for the future. No matter what you have experienced or what you are going through, don't forget to pick up the first book, enter the classroom on the first day, and come to the Royal Academy on the first day.
, your thoughts, your ideals and ambitions, your expectations for the future, and your yearning for beauty, even if all the resources the court invests in you today may not see a return."
"Don't forget your original intention and live up to your original intention!"
"Once again, on behalf of the Li family, the Imperial Court of the Qin Empire, and all the staff of the Royal Academy, I wish you that one day the roc will rise with the wind and soar to ninety thousand miles!"
"I hope you will at least be Ling Yunzhi, who has once promised to be the best in the world!"
After the last word fell, Li Chen turned around lightly and stepped off the stage.
Under the stage, the cheers were like waves and the cheers were thunderous.
After Li Chen, it was Tan Tai Jingzhi who was the first academician of the Imperial Academy who spoke.
Compared with Li Chen's speech, Tan Tai Jingzhi's words seemed much more official and elder-like.
These are some great principles that are taught from ear to ear.
But with Tan Tai Jingzhi's name there, people didn't dare to treat him lightly. In addition, Li Chen's pearls were in front of him, so the students were very considerate and gave Tan Tai Jingzhi the greatest respect.
There were other arrangements and arrangements for the opening ceremony after that. Li Chen was busy with everything and did not attend.
He summoned most of the faculty of the Royal Academy for a brief meeting.
"What His Highness said before makes us really ashamed."
A famous figure in the literary world felt ashamed and said: "When I think about who I am today, and compared to how high-spirited I was when I was young, I have unknowingly wasted my years. I am really ashamed of my elders."
His words represent the voices of many people, and everyone feels the same.
Li Chen smiled and said: "You're welcome, I just expressed my feelings for the moment. If it can inspire you and others, it can be considered a good thing."
Li Chen had great respect for these teachers.
Not only did he not have the majesty he had when facing civil and military officials in the court, but he seemed approachable.
In addition to some teachers from the Book of Songs, there were also master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and craftsmen who were said to be skilled in silver and silver.
As a time traveler, Li Chen knew very well that these craftsmen and craftsmen were the seeds of science, and were far more important than those who studied the Book of Songs.
