The day of lunch passed by in a hurry like a white horse passing by.
The morning was no different from usual. Lu Zhaoqian was late again. Xu Xiucai persuaded him and let him go in to review his books without any impatience.
At this time, Bai Gui realized that Lu Zhaoqian would be late about once every five or six days, which was something he was used to.
Lu San, the long-term employee of the Bai family, Lu Zhaoqian's biological father, beat Lu Zhaoqian countless times, but he still couldn't change his bad habits.
Fortunately, Lu Zhaoqian was not really late, but walked into the classroom at the sound of the bell, so everyone just let it go.
At most, it's not considered hard work, and it's a waste of good time for early reading.
Reading is your own business.
Only Mr. Xu Xiucai and his father could dissuade him.
This matter had little connection or interest with Bai Gui, so he ignored it. In front of Xu Xiucai in the hall, he silently wrote out the second half of the Thousand-Character Essay, and started the second enlightenment book "Disciple Rules"
of learning.
Xu Xiucai said that he had mastered the Thousand-Character Literature, and after finishing this book, he could start working on the Four Books.
Bai Gui was a little puzzled. Although he was happy to enter the next step of study, he was a little worried that his foundation was unstable. Aren't most of the enlightenment children in the school still studying the third and fourth enlightenment books, and the same is true for the four books?
Dabbling roughly does not lead to learning.
For example, the first volume of "Young Learning Qionglin" has an introduction to ancient astronomy, geography, age, court, civil servants, and military positions; the second volume has an introduction to relatives and friends, clothing, etc., and the third volume has an introduction to diet.
, introduction to palaces, utensils, and mourning, Volume 4 introduces subjects, literature, litigation, prisons, birds, animals, flowers, and trees.
It can be said that if you learn a piece of "Young Learning Qionglin", you will have a clear understanding of ancient things.
There is no need to mention the thousand-character essay, and allusions are used throughout the article.
Enlightenment books are not just about learning traditional Chinese characters.
Xu Xiucai pondered for a while and explained: "Since ancient times, there has been no enlightenment book. In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a historian who created the "Shi Zhou Pian". That is to say, the Zhou people only learned one enlightenment book, and later there were the Qin people's
"Cangjie Pian", "Yanli Pian", and later Zhou Xingsi's "Enlightenment Essentials", "Thousand Character Essay", "Hundred Family Surnames" and other things... There are more and more enlightenment books, and I want to learn
It is impossible to complete the Enlightenment Book..."
Bai Gui nodded. For example, the surname Kaimeng is no longer necessary for him now.
The words and allusions learned in many enlightenment books are somewhat repetitive.
"Teaching you enlightenment books as a teacher is to determine your temperament and determine its scale. After you finish studying enlightenment, you will get twice the result with half the effort by studying the classics. Otherwise, it will only be beneficial to your heart. Rather than doing this, it is better not to study the classics!"
"Although the classics are the words of saints and educate all people, they are also books for scientific examination. If you use allusions indiscriminately and violate taboos, you will not only make people laugh, lose your face as a teacher, but you may also be imprisoned..."
Xu Xiucai spoke softly and pointed out something.
Only then did Bai Gui realize that Xu Xiucai had noticed his hard work, down-to-earthness, and few words since he entered the school, so he decided to teach him Confucian classics in advance.
Also, he has the nature of an adult and is not like a teenager.
Once compared, the difference is obvious.
Confucian classics is the way to take the imperial examination. Once you learn the classics, you are qualified to participate in the imperial examination. However, the literary prison since the early Qing Dynasty has caused literati and writers to be in trouble. If they are not learned and have no skills, they will not only be dismissed, but also have their articles removed from the government.
Extracting words and sentences and weaving accusations are more likely to put lives in danger.
Whenever the literati showed their dissatisfaction in their writings and suspected that they were ridiculing current affairs, they would go to jail and try to implicate them.
"Lu Zhaoqian has good qualifications, but my husband has not taught him Confucian classics for a long time. I am afraid that he is worried that his rebellious character and rude words may implicate himself, so he has been reluctant to teach him Confucian classics..."
Bai Gui suddenly realized.
Everyone has a desire to protect themselves, and it is understandable for Mr. Xu to do so. I can’t blame him.
Just like some old craftsmen, when they teach their apprentices their skills, they often test their temperament for three years. If their temperament is not suitable, they would rather die than hand over their skills to someone with bad character.
The "Wei Min Su Zhi" case in the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign was an imperial examination case. At that time, Cha Siting, a native of Haining, served as the chief examiner of Jiangxi. The test question used the sentence "Wei Min Su Zhi" from the Book of Songs. Some people said that he
With ulterior motives, "Weizhi" means to cut off Yongzheng's head (the word "Yongzheng" is the word "Weizhi" after removing the characters above it).
Coincidentally, there are folk rumors that after Yongzheng's death, his head disappeared and was buried with a gold head instead, and was buried in the Tailing Underground Palace in Yizhou.
By the way, this Cha Siting is Jin Yong’s ancestor.
Therefore, Jin Yong took revenge on Emperor Yongzheng in "Books and Swords of Enmity", saying that Qianlong was actually a Han and his younger brother was Luo Yunyun of the Chen family, which meant that Yongzheng was cuckolded. Also in "The Deer and the Cauldron", it was even more so with "Wei Wei"
"What the People Stop" begins with the text "Prison Case", which details the grievances of our ancestor Zha Siting.
It can be said that literary inquisitions caused by imperial examinations have occurred many times and are countless.
"Of course, there is another point. You are a bit old. If you study slower, it will be too late to take the imperial examination..." Xu Xiucai smiled and said.
"..." Bai Gui.
"You must not be arrogant. In addition to studying the classics, you also need to study some enlightenment books that will be beneficial to you."
Xu Xiucai warned.
With the foundation of the Thousand-Character Classic, Bai Gui made rapid progress in learning the Disciple Rules. This is a three-character rhyme, but it only has more than a thousand words. It is catchy and he has already memorized the entire text in class.
Memorizing the whole article is not enough. He needs to consider every word.
If the classics are the words of saints, then these enlightenment books refine the words of saints to a level that young children can understand.
For example, the first sentence of Disciple Regulations: "Disciples Regulations are the teachings of saints. The first is filial piety and brotherhood, the second is trustworthiness, universal love for all, and kindness." This is the line from the Xue Er Chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" "Disciples are filial when they enter, and they are brotherly when they go out.
Be sincere and trustworthy, love everyone and be kind, and act with extra strength."
This is similar to the principle of modern Chinese textbooks from primary school to junior high school. The space is limited, and the sages have too many small words and great meanings, so I excerpt sentences and chapters and record the most essential parts in the textbook. You don’t have to know it now, wait until you are there
Only when you are in this situation, you will think of something to say, unlike Zhang Fei who can only say "I am the same".
After a while, the lame old man at the porter rang the bell.
The schoolchildren were about to disperse, but unexpectedly, Superintendent Lu Zilin walked into the school, bowed his hands to Xu Xiucai, and after saluting, he coughed and said after a while: "Today our Bailu Village is going to
Repair the fort, as a member of our Bailu Village, you should also go up and repair the fort and help..."
He was a little embarrassed and blushed a little with embarrassment after speaking.
What can these dolls do if they can't carry them on their shoulders or lift them with their hands? But after Xu Xiucai finished talking about the plan in the meeting room this morning, he specifically asked him, the school superintendent, to be a bad guy and come up to make the school dolls work and tire them out.
Muscles and bones.
The ancestral hall was built four years ago, and the west building was turned into a school. In addition to Xu Xiucai, who was the same year as Mr. Zhu, as the teacher, Bai Jiaxuan, the patriarch of Bailu Village, became a school boy, and Lu Zilin became the school supervisor.
The schoolboy and the superintendent are usually of little use.
The most they can do is provide charcoal and candles to the school and repair and manage the school.
