Chapter 660: Goose Lake Academy Is Your Second Home
At noon.
Many people have gathered in the small square in front of Ehu Academy.
These people all came here to study.
As a world-famous top academy, people from all over the world often come here to study, hoping to join it for further studies.
However, the reality is cruel.
Ehu Academy has always maintained extremely strict assessment and passing rates, and often only a handful of people can successfully pass and join it.
Yang Fan mingled in the crowd, looking here and there.
Waiting for the so-called great scholar to come.
Soon, a tall middle-aged scholar wearing black clothes came over, followed by several young students who were accompanying him.
These young students all have strong backs, long breaths, and light steps. They obviously have a good foundation in martial arts. ??
"The time is almost here, let's examine their foundation first!"
The middle-aged scholar calmly ordered.
"Yes, mentor."
The young man behind him stepped forward and began to hand out pens, ink, paper and inkstones to the visitors neatly.
"My name is Wang Yuanshan, and I am responsible for your assessment this time."
The middle-aged scholar's eyes swept across the crowd.
"Mr. Xiangshan said that when people's hearts are sick, they must be peeled off. When they are peeled off, they will become clear and clear."
He waved his hand, and the words appeared in mid-air.
The huge gold characters shone brightly, causing the void to tremble slightly and causing ripples. The words clearly contained powerful power!
"Let's take this as the title, and the time limit is one hour, so let's explain it!"
He ordered.
"yes!"
Students from all sides responded quickly and began to think hard.
With the development of Confucianism to this day, although Neo-Confucianism is still at its peak, the development of mind science cannot be underestimated, and it has become one of the prominent schools of thought in the world!
In Ehu Academy, the status of Xinxue is no less important than Neo-Confucianism.
After all, in the academy The four sages worshiped were not only Zhu Zi, but also Mr. Xiangshan. Even the current mountain chief is after Mr. Xiangshan.
Although in the eyes of the world, Mr. Xiangshan's literary reputation is weaker than that of Zhu Xi, his strength cannot be underestimated, and he is also a famous literary giant.
In particular, it creatively pioneered the integration of heart and reason into one!
If it weren't for Zhu Xi's great influence, his status in literature and Taoism would probably be far greater than this.
This time, to interpret his words, we must find another way.
After all, many of Mr. Xiangshan’s quotations have long been widely circulated among scholars, and various interpretations exist.
How to be favored by the scholar Wang Yuanshan in front of him is the key to passing the examination, so everyone present is scratching their heads.
Yang Fan also looked up at the words above his head.
"If the human heart is sick, it must be peeled off. Once it is peeled off, it will become clear and clear."
He muttered slowly in his mind.
He knew what it meant.
The human heart is clouded by desires and thus becomes dark and turbid. Only by peeling away the layers of obscuration and seeing the heart clearly can we gain clarity.
It contains the teachings of education!
However, this meaning is interpreted from a modern perspective.
Looking at the style of Ehu Academy, I am afraid that it is definitely not about pursuing a clear mind, but about beating the opponent until the Qingming Festival is enough.
What is the most important thing about ancient exams?
It's the examiner!
When marking papers subjectively, the examiner's stance and preferences are the only way to pass the exam.
Yang Fan decisively began to write his own answer.
"The human heart is diseased, so of course it needs to be cured and educated! How to educate the human heart? Then you have to peel it off, peel it off, and completely remove a layer of skin!"
"Peel off a
Fan means a period of Qingming."
"The first time I'll knock off a layer of your skin, the second time I'll make you spend the Qingming Festival."
"In this way, people's hearts will naturally be successfully educated!"
After reading his masterpiece, Yang Fan felt that his ideas had become much clearer.
For a moment, my soul felt relaxed and my thoughts were clear!
Sure enough, he, Mr. Yang, was born to be a good scholar!
Time passes slowly.
An hour flies by in the blink of an eye.
Someone immediately stepped forward to collect the papers. Those students who originally wanted to take the opportunity to immerse themselves in writing a few more sentences had their pens ripped off and were eliminated on the spot.
When other people saw it, they immediately felt worried.
The paper was quickly delivered to Wang Yuanshan.
As a great scholar, Wang Yuanshan could basically see all these papers with just one glance.
"Pursuing clarity in people's hearts? How about clarity? In this world, if you don't have the power, how can you stay out of it? It's a joke to still want clarity!"
"Strip off the blindness of desire, seek peace and tranquility of the soul, and live in isolation? This is simply absurd!"
"Confucians, what people need is to take self-cultivation, family governance, country and world as their own responsibility. How can we escape from it? If there is no desire and no action, is it still called Confucianism?"
"..."
Wang Yuanshan looked at these papers and felt disappointed.
But soon, he saw a unique paper.
"Educate people's hearts? Can we survive the Qingming Festival?"
The corners of his mouth twitched.
Although the wording in the paper is quite vulgar, but the vulgarity means elegance, and the words are rough but not rough. After entering their Ehu Academy, you can still study well.
Soon, the results were distributed.
There were three people who passed this assessment, and naturally Yang Fan was among them.
Other students who failed could only leave with disappointment, and for a moment they didn’t know why they didn’t pass. Pass the assessment.
They thought they had successfully understood what Mr. Xiangshan said, so how could they not pass?
Soon, three people, including Yang Fan, stood in front of Wang Yuanshan.
Wang Yuanshan looked at the three people in front of him and compared them one by one with the names on the paper: "Who is this, so and so is this, well, this is that Yang Lin..."
"This name seems familiar, as if I heard it somewhere..."
A thought flashed through Wang Yuanshan's mind, and then he said with a gentle face, "Only the three of you passed this assessment! Very good!"
"I believe that once you join the academy, you will be able to take further steps and achieve all-round development!"
As soon as these words came out, the other two people immediately showed excitement.
The assessment passed!
Yang Fan also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least his two hundred taels of silver were not wasted.
If this fails, he will have to come back to join the academy in the middle of the night.
However, at that time, Mr. Yang was not so easy to talk to. With an investment of two hundred taels, it would not be too much to give him at least half an academy, right?
"I'm so kind."
Yang Fan felt emotional in his heart.
However, Wang Yuanshan's next words made Yang Fan's expression completely freeze.
Just listen to him say: "However, after all, Ehu Academy is the top university in the Ming Dynasty. Although you have passed the examination, you are still a little older."
"When studying, it is inevitable that more school resources will be consumed, and the cost..."
Before he could finish speaking, the two people around Yang Fan could not wait to speak.
"We will bear all expenses ourselves!"
"very good!"
When Wang Yuanshan saw this, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Ten thousand taels per person, more refunds and less compensation! The principle of the academy is that teaching, training, and distribution are guaranteed! From now on, Ehu Academy will be your second home!"
