Seeing a classroom full of hundreds of students, Principal Zhang stood with Qin Yu in the corridor at the entrance of the classroom with some embarrassment.
"President Qin, I'm really sorry. Ever since we posted your teaching information on the school's website, hundreds of students have wanted to transfer to our school in the past half month."
Principal Zhang is also helpless. In the past half month, his cell phone has been almost exploded. Many people he can't afford to offend have called to arrange for a student to transfer to another school.
At first, Principal Zhang was very happy, because there were many top students from other universities, which showed that the school’s teaching achievements in recent years were still recognized. However, later, when more and more calls like this were received, Principal Zhang knew that it must be
Something happened.
Because these students who want to transfer all go to one major, that is, the garden design and art major.
If it was just like this, it would be fine. Among them, there were actually people in their fifties and sixties who came to the school with connections and said they wanted to go to the school for further studies. Principal Zhang was even dumbfounded.
If you are in your 50s or 60s and still come to school for further studies, how can you make the teachers at the school so embarrassed?
And if you want to study, just study. Why would you choose a garden design major to arrange flowers for yourself when you get old?
Principal Zhang finally understood that these people were not here for the school or the gardening major, but for President Qin.
You know, this is not the first year that the school's garden art major has been opened. Why haven't we seen these people so actively wanting to come in previous years?
After understanding this, Principal Zhang planned to reject them all, but what he didn't expect was that the background of the people who called him to say hello was getting bigger and bigger, so much so that he, the principal, could not refuse them.
As a result, there was a scene like this. The garden art major, which originally had only thirty students, instantly had more than one hundred and two students. This was after Principal Zhang ruthlessly refused most of the people who greeted him.
"President Qin, I have no choice about this. Some people have said hello to me from above, and I can't refuse." Principal Zhang told Qin Yu the truth directly.
"I know, it's okay."
Qin Yu smiled at Principal Zhang, indicating that he didn't care about this situation, because although it was a bit unexpected, Qin Yu was not surprised by this situation.
Now that he has decided to teach in the school, Qin Yu does not intend to hide his secrets. As long as he is willing to come to the class, he will be considered his student.
Teachers, preaching, imparting knowledge and solving doubts!
So, when Qin Yu walked into the classroom, more than a hundred students stood up and shouted respectfully: "Hello, teacher."
Seeing the excitement on the faces of these students, Qin Yu motioned for everyone to sit down, because he understood that most of these students came from Feng Shui families, and even if they didn't, they were related to metaphysics.
These people have all heard of themselves.
"Hello classmates, my name is Qin Yu. Starting from this semester, I will be your teacher of garden design and art principles."
After briefly introducing himself, Qin Yu looked at the students below. Under Qin Yu's glance, these students sat upright one after another, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Qin Yu.
It can be said that in the relaxed university teaching atmosphere, the students in Qin Yu's class behave more like the strict junior high school teaching.
"Before I start my lecture, first of all, you can ask me three questions."
Qin Yu looked at the students with a smile, and as soon as he said these words, the students below were completely excited and almost raised their hands.
"This classmate."
Qin Yu picked a boy with glasses in the second row from the left.
"Teacher Qin...guo..." The boy obviously didn't expect that he would be so lucky. He didn't know what to ask for a moment. His face turned red. It took a long time to organize his words and continued:
"Teacher Qin, what I want to ask is, should garden design follow the way of nature?"
After hearing what the student said, Qin Yu hadn't answered yet, but other students laughed out loud, and the student himself blushed after asking.
This is like a student facing a very famous teacher, so he asked a very profound question specifically because he was afraid that the teacher would not answer a general question or that he would be looked down upon by the teacher.
The way of nature, what exactly is the way of nature, I am afraid no one here can understand it.
"Okay, I understand this classmate's question. Before answering this classmate's question, I want to ask a question first."
"Teacher, please ask." The boy quickly stood up and answered straightly, but he was a little uneasy because he was afraid that he would not be able to answer the questions asked by Teacher Qin.
"Relax, the question I want to ask is what is your name?"
"Teacher Qin, my name is Meng Tielin."
"Okay, classmate Meng Tielin, let me answer your question now, whether garden design should follow the way of nature. But before answering this question, we must first understand what is the way of nature?"
Hearing Qin Yu start to answer, all the students present calmed down and waited for Qin Yu's words, because they knew that such an opportunity did not come every time.
"Nature refers to any phenomenon of all things in the universe, and refers to the state of operation, change and development of all things. Nothing in the world is not natural. When things exist in a certain form, they can become natural."
"So, what is the way of nature?"
"There is something mixed, born in advance of heaven and earth. It is lonely, independent and does not change, moves around without dying, and can be the mother of heaven and earth. I don't know its name, but the strong character is: Dao, and the strong character is called: Da.
Da means passing, passing means far, and far means turning back. Therefore, the Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are also big. There are four majors in the domain, and humans live in one of them. Humans follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, and the sky follows the Tao.
Tao follows nature."
What Qin Yu was reciting was a passage from the Tao Te Ching, which was Lao Tzu's description of Tao.
"Tao exists before all things in the world, and nature represents all things in the world. So the so-called Tao of nature, in layman's terms, is the rule for the existence and operation of all things in the world."
"There are rules first, and then there are all things. All things are conceived under the rules. Therefore, the so-called way of nature is actually the way of movement of all things in the world."
"So, what is the relationship between garden art and the way of nature? Of course there is a relationship, but to insist that there is a big relationship is just pretentious."
When Qin Yu said the word "pretentious", the students below were all dumbfounded and looked at Qin Yu in disbelief, because they couldn't believe that such words would come out of Qin Yu's mouth.
“Everything in the world and any subject can be said to be related to the Tao of nature, because everything in the world is conceived under the rules of the Tao, and some of our subjects and knowledge are actually based on the Tao.
A certain aspect of interpretation and cognition.”
"Okay, let's end the answer to the first question here. Now please continue to ask the second question."
"Teacher Qin, what I want to ask is, if during the process of selecting a garden site, there happens to be a cemetery underground, should we choose another site or what method can be used to solve it? Also, will a garden designed in this way have a negative atmosphere?
Is it too heavy and will breed some bad things?"
The person who asked the question was a man who was close to thirty years old. Logically speaking, he should have graduated with a bachelor's degree. However, Qin Yu didn't care, because this student here was not the oldest, and there were several others in their forties.
A 6-year-old man also sat down and listened to the class.
"In fact, this problem does not only exist in garden site selection. Whether it is construction, self-built houses or commercial buildings, sometimes such problems will be encountered. If we say that we will completely give up when we encounter a cemetery, it is obviously not appropriate.
Practical, especially now that land resources are so tight."
Qin Yu motioned the student to sit down, and then replied: "But there are a few things you must pay attention to when encountering a ghost house. First of all, if it is a tomb with an owner, you must notify the tomb owner's family or descendants, and you must not arbitrarily
Move the grave."
"Secondly, for the graves without owners, they cannot be simply moved, let alone buried and bulldozed directly. They must be moved according to a set of procedures, and at the same time, the place for the grave must be replaced, which must be no worse than the former."
"Last point, there are five kinds of trees that cannot be planted in the garden built on the shady house. One of them is the locust tree, also known as the ghost locust tree. The tree has a gnarled body and is easy for ghosts to attach themselves to."
"The second one is the willow tree. If you don't plant mulberries in front of it and don't plant willow trees in the back, the willow tree is inherently shady."
"The third one is the banyan tree, which is big and shady."
"The fourth one is Bajiao. When the rain falls, Bajiao's lonely soul cries."
"The fifth one is bamboo. Bamboo is hollow and mostly used for hiding. This is why bamboo is used as the pole for soul calling flags of both Taoism and Buddhism."
"Of course, because it is a place of yin residence, the yin energy will inevitably be relatively strong. So how to resolve it requires detailed analysis of specific issues. We will mention this issue in future courses."
Next, Qin Yu answered the third student's question, and all the students listened with fascination, because there were some questions that they also wanted to know the answers to.
Therefore, when the bell rang for get out of class, none of the students stood up. Qin Yu looked at the students sitting below who looked at him with eager eyes for knowledge, but he smiled helplessly.
If Feng Shui is to be thoroughly carried forward, there is a long way to go.
Those Feng Shui masters will naturally not reveal their skills to others, but will only teach them to their apprentices. The Feng Shui profession is inherently mysterious and difficult to understand without anyone explaining it.
"Dear students, I know that you are eager to study, but today's class will stop here. Let's continue in the next class."
Qin Yu left, walked out of the classroom, and went to the Computer Department. Today was his first day of teaching, and it was also Qiaoqiao's first day of class. The brother and sister made an appointment to have dinner together. (To be continued)
