He was also uneasy about learning another set of education from scratch.
However, it is always right to choose to study.
With the talent of "diligence can make up for one's weakness", he does not expect to be famous as a scholar or a scholar, but it should not be a problem to obtain the title of scholar in Xi'an Prefecture.
The writing style in the south is at its peak and involution is serious, while in the north it is much easier.
Obtaining the title of scholar is equivalent to standing out among hundreds or hundreds of people. He still has this confidence.
Don't forget that the power of the Qing Dynasty is about to be exhausted, and the imperial examination is about to be abolished, but even in the Republic of China, whether one has merit or not is a criterion for distinguishing between superiors and inferiors.
With fame and fame, the upper limit may not be high, but the lower limit is definitely not bad.
For example, in "Age of Awakening", Lin Shu, a scholar of the Tongcheng School who repeatedly opposed the protagonist group, and Huang Kan and others, accompanied by Huang Kan and others, opposed the new culture, and he was a successful candidate who failed to succeed...
Chen Zhongfu, the standard bearer of the new culture, was also a scholar in Anqing Prefecture. He failed the Jiangnan Provincial Examination the following year...
"By the way, with this bronze mirror, you can also exchange questions from 2014 for next year's county examination, government examination, and college examination. In this way, how can you fail?"
Bai Gui suddenly thought of this and began to look forward to it in his heart.
"But you still need to be hardworking. If you want to pass the exam, even if you know the topic, you don't know how to solve the eight-legged essay, you don't know the format of a poem, and you don't know some taboo words, how can you take the exam?"
"You also need to have good Guange style calligraphy. If the calligraphy is too bad, the roll will be knocked down! You will fail!"
"There are banquets and the like after a scholar has achieved the title. If someone is exposed at the banquet, it will be a serious crime of imperial examination fraud. Even a talented man like Tang Yin will be knocked down and ridiculed..."
He immediately became alert.
Tang Yin's family was rich and he had many friends with powerful people. However, he was directly imprisoned because of fraud in the imperial examination. He was just the son of a tenant. If anyone knew about the fraud in the imperial examination, he would be executed.
Taking a deep breath, he continued to read the yellowed book in his hand.
With the talent of being diligent and capable of making up for one's weakness, Bai Gui discovered that he vaguely knew the meaning of some unknown words, and could even pronounce them and know their pronunciation.
But after watching it for a while, he felt dizzy.
So, I immediately closed the book and didn't dare to read it again.
After about a quarter of an hour, the school gradually filled up with people. There were about twenty Meng boys, ranging from six or seven years old to eleven or twelve years old. There were also Meng boys as big as Bai Gui.
This is a Meng boy who transferred from a school in a neighboring village. He is gentle and fair, and wears tortoise shell lenses on the bridge of his nose. His name is Zhou Yuan. He has read "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Great Learning", "Mencius" and the Five Classics.
The "Spring and Autumn Annals" in it are his classics.
Later, Bai Gui realized that in a nearby private school, Xu Xiucai specialized in teaching "Spring and Autumn", so if any other private school students chose to teach "Spring and Autumn", the teacher would recommend them to Bailu Village for Xu Xiucai to teach.
Similarly, if another student chooses to study the Five Classics other than the Spring and Autumn Annals, Xu Xiucai will also recommend him to another private school teacher in a neighboring village.
"Hello, sir!"
All the men around him stood up and bowed to Xu Xiucai in a humble manner.
Xu Xiucai nodded slightly.
The more than 20 Meng boys who had stood up then sat down, flipping through the books and trying their best to memorize the contents.
Suddenly, a Meng boy, about ten years old, hurriedly ran to the door of the school, holding a book under his arm, with dark skin, sweat dripping from his forehead and temples, and gasped: "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"Good work comes from hard work rather than play, success comes from thinking and failure comes from casualness!" Xu Xiucai gave the late Meng Tong a stern look, "You are even late for morning school, I will punish you..."
He glanced at Meng Tong, who was late, and sighed: "As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat for a day. Please note that 'poems and books will be found if you work hard, but your stomach will be empty if you don't work hard.'"
Meng Tong was late and did it without any embarrassment. He seemed to be used to this kind of thing.
He said "Thank you for your punishment, Mr." and then sat down next to the Lu Zhaopeng brothers. When he came here, he saw Bai Gui sitting here, with a look of surprise on his face, and then the corners of his mouth showed A hint of sarcasm.
He pulled out the bench and sat on it.
"Bai Gui, how did you do this? Zhaohai, it must have been your father's kindness that allowed Bai Gui to come here to study?"
Lu Zhaoqian said softly.
"Book boy?"
He remembered a word he mentioned often and asked.
"No, it was Brother Gui who paid Shu Xiu to study here." Lu Zhaohai touched Lu Zhaoqian's elbow and said angrily: "Brother Gui accepted the book given by Brother Er and confiscated the book from Brother Er. The straw paper and ink given to me are clearly looked down upon!"
Hearing that Bai Gui had paid Shu Xiu himself and enrolled in school, Lu Zhaoqian's expression changed quickly. He was silent for a while, then he let out a soft chuckle, as if he was mocking, and said: "What kind of fate can I learn from a groom?" come out!"
“It’s good to learn a little bit.”
Bai Gui glanced at Lu Zhaoqian and said calmly.
Because Lu Zhaoqian was sent to school by Bai Jiaxuan, he always felt inferior to the children of Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowu, so he sat next to the two brothers from the Bai family at first, and then moved to next to the two brothers from the Lu family.
So when I heard that Bai Gui had come to study by himself, I was jealous.
Paying your own money means you can straighten your back.
Lu Zhaoqian bit his lip, with contempt in his eyes. He concluded that Bai Gui would have to leave after studying in the school for a month or two at most. Firstly, he had no money to pay Shu Xiu, and secondly, he knew that he was not destined to be a scholar. .
The two of them weren't very familiar with each other, they just knew each other, so they didn't ask for trouble and were silent for a while.
in class.
Xu Xiucai began to talk about the "Three Character Classic" and read the previous paragraph. Most of the Meng children started to recite it with their heads shaking.
Xu Xiucai's words were mixed with Mandarin and the local dialect of Qin Province, but everyone understood what he meant.
Bai Gui followed the local customs and shook his head along with him.
The only feeling he felt from this action was dizziness, and he didn't know how these Mengtong children could endure it. He estimated that it was due to rhythm memory. Xu Xiucai had not learned any modern educational knowledge, but the older generation must have had their reasons for passing it down. .
Thinking about the rhythm of education, his thoughts flew abroad. At this time, Hu Shi's teacher Dewey seemed to have put forward the slogan "Education is life, life is society" and opposed the educational methods of indoctrination and mechanical training.
By the way, in the second year of Xuantong, that is, two years later, Dr. Hu will go to the United States to study...
When he thought of Dr. Hu, his thoughts wandered to unknown places.
Soon, Meng Tong, who had finished reciting the Three-Character Sutra, was asked by Xu Xiucai to recite it silently and memorize the writing of each character. "The Thousand-Character Classic" was the first enlightenment book taught in Bailu Village School. After learning a thousand characters, the three-character Sutra contained Even if you don’t know some characters well, it doesn’t matter. You can memorize them slowly by memorizing them. This will create a scale effect and your literacy will become faster and faster.
The Bai brothers and the Lu brothers learned relatively quickly. They had already passed the literacy stage and had reached the stage of memorizing scriptures and understanding their meanings.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that both families are wealthy, have strict requirements, and both parents are literate, so their progress is ahead of the other children in the school, and they are at the top of the list.
Xu Xiucai came over and started to explain "The Analects" to the Bai brothers and the Lu brothers for a while, and then walked to Bai Gui. He was quite concerned about Bai Gui, a less advanced scholar.
It was also Bai Gui's respect for him last night that made him put more thought into it.
"Come, I'll teach you the Thousand-Character Classic."
Xu Xiucai walked up to Bai Gui, leaned down half-close to him, pointed at the yellowed pages word by word, and then said, "I'll read a paragraph, and you memorize a paragraph."
After he read for a while, he asked Bai Gui to read.
What surprised Xu Xiucai was that even though Bai Gui had just learned the Thousand-Character Classic and was still stumbling a bit after reciting it two or three times, by the fourth or fifth time, he became catchy and could read it with almost no need to read.
Achieve the effect of recitation.
"This boy must be extraordinary!"
If Xu Xiucai had taught Bai Gui very seriously because of Master Bai Gui before, but now after seeing Bai Gui's talent, he really started to think about cultivating it.
As for the small talent of reciting memories, Xu Xiucai had already seen a lot of them.
Those scholars who became famous at a young age and achieved fame often have superhuman memories.
