The main building of Qin Feng Martial Arts Hall, the courtyard where the academic department is located.
"Shilin Shilin, you want to go out to play again!"
Several fourteen-year-old and fifteen-year-old boys were chatting at the entrance of the school. Ten-year-old Xu Shilin passed by leisurely and walked towards the door of the school. He immediately attracted the eyes of those young people, and his tone of greeting was full of envy.
"Yeah, I've finished my schoolwork a long time ago, and I'm ready to go out for a walk if I have nothing to do!"
Xu Shilin's red lips and white teeth were very pleasing to the eye. When he turned around, his little face was full of pride and he said with a smile: "My classmates, you should work hard!"
With that said, he skipped out of the school and went to play outside.
"Damn it, this kid is really annoying!"
Seeing Xu Shilin leave, until his back was no longer visible, a few fifteen-year-old boys looked back. One of them said unhappily: "Isn't it because of his good academic performance?"
"Hey, if you have good academic performance, you are still good. If you have half the grades of Xu Shilin, the school teacher will not care about you. You can have fun as you want!"
"Yeah, that guy Xu Shilin is really awesome. He's five or six years younger than us, but his academic performance is such that we can't even see our shadows. You can't accept it!"
"I heard from the school teacher that this kid's study progress is such that he can participate in the interpretation organized by the government. It's really amazing!"
"Hey, don't be so exaggerated. If he takes the exam at such a young age, his final result will definitely not be very good!"
"That's much better than us. It's no wonder that others can go out to play, but we can only continue to memorize and practice calligraphy in school!"
"..."
He is worthy of being a descendant of Wenquxing. His talent in reading shocked the entire martial arts department and teachers, and at the same time, they were extremely happy.
What is shocking is that with Xu Shilin's reading talent and study progress, I believe that it will not take many years for him to succeed in the scientific examination, and he may even get a good ranking. Such a reading talent is simply unbelievable.
Confidence.
Of course, I am happy that the teachers in the department can teach such students, and their faces are very radiant.
When Xu Shilin kills everyone in the scientific examination, they can also have a good time in front of their peers. You teachers in regular schools are not so great. You have the ability to make the students in your school surpass them in the scientific examination.
Xu Shilin has one head.
Because of this, Xu Shilin became the favorite of the entire martial arts school, a treasure in the eyes of the teacher, and made all the students in the school feel very depressed.
Not only were a group of young classmates aged fifteen or sixteen who were envious and jealous, but also the innate masters who came to the martial arts school to further their studies were shocked to the point of losing their confidence and feeling depressed after seeing Xu Shilin's learning talent.
Together, they have reached the peak of their innate abilities, and their brain development and use levels are higher than those of ordinary people, not even comparable to that of a ten-year-old boy.
Of course, they were depressed. They also took great care of Xu Shilin. It was not easy for the martial arts school to produce such a scholar. He must be cultivated well in the imperial examination to add glory to the martial arts school.
When it was learned that Xu Shilin's knowledge reserve was enough to participate in the examination organized by the government at a young age, the entire headquarters was shocked. Every martial arts master was so excited that they cared for and indulged Xu Shilin even more.
After their strength reached their level, they came to the main hall for further training, and then they realized the importance of enriching their knowledge reserves. Whether it is to increase their knowledge and experience, or to help them break through the realm, it is of great benefit.
If they have sufficient knowledge reserves, they don't need to come to the main hall for further study. Maybe they feel something in their hearts at a certain moment, or are touched when they see a certain scene, and the corresponding knowledge will naturally appear in their minds. If they have a clear understanding of the relevant sages' teachings,
, maybe it will be a breakthrough.
If the knowledge reserve is not enough, the feelings in the heart will only be touched by a few points. At most, the state of mind will have a small amount of enlightenment, and that's it. If you want to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop, you will have to have an opportunity like epiphany.
But enlightenment is not easy to come by. The most important thing is that if you want to have an enlightenment related to your own realm, you must have sufficient knowledge reserves and experience.
You can't just be ignorant of the relevant principles and suddenly have an epiphany after seeing a scene that touches your soul. That's simply impossible.
Only by having relevant knowledge reserves in advance, understanding some of the great principles of heaven and earth, and starting to achieve enlightenment can we have a deeper understanding, and integrate our own understanding with our own martial arts, so as to achieve the goal of improving our realm in one fell swoop.
Therefore, all martial arts masters who can study in the main hall will respect the intellectuals of scholars, and they will have a little more love for students with particularly outstanding learning talents.
Xu Shilin's learning talent is quite astonishing, and everyone in the martial arts hall is naturally looking at him like an eyeball.
Wuguan Academy is different from other schools outside. It does not take Confucianism as the core, but embraces all schools of thought. The direction in which students are willing to study and develop depends on their own interests and hobbies.
Of course, due to the overall environment of the Song Empire, after all, the imperial examination was the best channel for ordinary people to advance to the upper class. In addition, the teachers in the schools were basically Confucian disciples. The schools, consciously or unconsciously, gradually continued to regard Confucian knowledge as its core.
A pattern in which the other hundred schools of knowledge are supplementary.
In this regard, although the martial arts master who is responsible for the daily management of the main hall is not very satisfied, there is nothing he can do.
Lei Hu had no intention of interfering at all, and allowed the martial arts school to develop freely. Of course, this does not mean that the hundreds of theoretical classics that the school spent a lot of effort to obtain have no use. On the contrary, these theoretical classics are very helpful in broadening the students' horizons and thinking.
Big help.
At the very least, the martial arts school has been open for more than ten years, and the students it teaches are all sharp-minded and broad-minded, and their knowledge and practical abilities are much better than those in ordinary Confucian schools.
Even if they fail to make any achievements in the imperial examination, students who graduate from the martial arts school are better off after entering the society. They are quite flexible and skillful in whatever they do, and they are not rigid and dogmatic. This is already very famous among the sect.
The warrior who had a child was satisfied.
That's right, the students in the martial arts school are basically the descendants of Qin Feng martial arts disciples.
It is true that the literary style of the Song Dynasty was at its peak, and it is true that the imperial examination was also the best way for ordinary people to advance. However, the imperial examination was not that easy. Disciples who came from martial arts schools and sent their children to martial arts schools basically had no regard for the imperial examinations.
I hope that as long as my children can learn and achieve something good.
Because of this, the atmosphere in the martial arts school is quite relaxed. Although the teachers also value their studies, they are not too persistent. On the contrary, the students who come out of the martial arts school have basically learned useful knowledge. In terms of their survival ability, they
Almost all of them are talented.
There are also students like Xu Shilin who are extremely talented in reading and are hardworking.
These students are the favorites of the school teachers. Although they have the heaviest workload, they are also the group of students who receive the most attention. As long as they work hard and do not make mistakes, it will not be difficult to pass the exam after basically completing their studies. Of course, the ranking may not be too high.
high.
But that's the case. Because the martial arts school has abundant funds for running schools, although the teaching staff is not as good as those of well-known academies, it has still made a name for itself in Qiantang and nearby counties.
In the more than ten years since the school has been running, nearly twenty students have passed the provincial examination, and three students have even passed the capital examination, becoming Jinshi masters who are envied by ordinary students and the common people.
What's even more amazing is that the three martial arts school students who passed the Jinshi examination all condensed a literary spirit on the day they passed the Jinshi examination, and entered the elite literary circle in one fell swoop, causing great excitement in the entire Yuhang Prefecture.
Not all Jinshi can condense literary spirit!
Whether you can condense your literary spirit represents your future future, but it is also related to your immediate interests.
Jinshi who do not have the condensed literary spirit can only serve as chief officials at the county level at most. If they reach the government level, they can only serve as assistant officers no matter how strong their abilities are. This is an extremely realistic consideration, and it is also an inevitable choice for the imperial court.
In this Jiuzhou barrier with rich aura of heaven and earth, there are really not too many demons, ghosts, martial arts masters, and heretics. If the chief official of a palace is uneducated or even more upright, he may easily be taken advantage of by demons, ghosts, and monsters, which will cause difficulties.
estimated huge losses.
For this reason alone, scholars who fail to condense literary spirit and awe-inspiring righteousness, or Jinshi, do not have much of a future at all. This is an inevitable choice in reality.
A school that can cultivate a condensed literary spirit is truly a rare thing.
If nothing else, at least he can occupy an extremely important voice in the literati circle of the local prefecture and county. Even local parents and officials do not dare to offend easily, otherwise they will not suffer from them in the future.
If there is only one Jinshi or scholar who has accumulated literary talent in many years, it can be regarded as the school has great luck and happened to meet a student with excellent academic talent.
However, in just a dozen years, especially during the last two imperial examinations, the martial arts school has produced three Jinshi, and all of them have condensed their literary spirit. This cannot be said to be luck, but real strength.
What is even more surprising to the outside world is that among the students who graduated from the martial arts school, not only were there three students who passed the Jinshi examination, but there were also two students who just passed the provincial examination, and they also condensed their literary spirit!
This is really amazing!
Anyone who knows the martial arts school has great admiration for its teaching ability.
The martial arts school has only been powerful for more than ten years, and the students it recruits are basically the children and descendants of martial arts disciples. In other words, the enrollment scope of the martial arts school is quite narrow, and it only targets the children of martial arts disciples.
From the initial elementary school to the imperial examination content, it takes at least ten years to study!
In other words, those students who have condensed their literary spirit have an astonishingly high learning efficiency. They basically did not waste any study time. They passed the imperial examination just after graduating from school and became teachers. They even condensed their literary spirit. Such learning efficiency is that of those well-known students.
