"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor issued an edict that since the first year of Hongwu, in order to explain the study of moral economy, the Imperial College has been established for great use. Summit 23S. The most recent update was the system of six halls established during the reign of the late emperor. Anyone who has mastered the "Four Books" has not yet mastered the classics.
Those who live in righteousness, uphold ambitions, and have broad careers. Those who have been well-organized in literature and theory for more than one and a half years will be promoted to Taoism and sincerity. Those who have been proficient in both classics and history for another year and a half and are excellent in both literature and science will be promoted to straightforwardness. Promoted to straightforwardness,
It is points. It is based on the four-year academic system. However, nowadays, the studies for the Imperial College students are becoming more and more complicated..., and the graduates may not be slacking off. I have made a decision: From now on, the Imperial College students will study for seven years.
Appreciate this."
"That's right," Yun said, "No more changes are needed. Just copy the imperial edict and I will stamp it and send it out."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Ji agreed and said, "Then I will step down and prepare the decree."
"Hold on!" Yun said suddenly, "I have one more thing to tell Aiqing."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Ji felt a little strange. Today was a holiday and he did not have to go to court. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Wei Guogong Xu Huizu and others waiting outside. He said hello and found out that His Majesty left the palace yesterday.
The people who asked them to come when they went to the Five Cities Academy have also informed His Majesty. What do you want to tell me first?
But of course he knew it right away. "Chen Qing, I want to appoint you as the Secretary-General of Wucheng Academy to manage the daily affairs of Wucheng Academy for me," Yun said.
"Your Majesty, the students in Wucheng School are all young nobles, and I am afraid it will be difficult for me to control them. Moreover, I have never been in charge of a school, so it is difficult to manage them well. Therefore, I request your Majesty to appoint someone else to share your worries." Chen Ji heard this.
Yun paused and said after saying this.
After hearing Chen Ji's words, Yun felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Although Wucheng School had just been established less than a day ago, everyone who should know already knew it, and he quickly understood that students in this school would have a bright future as long as they or their family members did not commit suicide.
Wuliang. Now is the time to make good friends with them, but Chen Ji is afraid that the pie will fall on him.
However, it is precisely because of this that Yun appointed him as the chief executive. If a person who is dedicated to management joins Wucheng Academy, there is no guarantee that he will not disturb the atmosphere of the school by doing business.
"Chen Qing, you don't have to shirk. Although the Five Cities Academy is full of distinguished disciples, as long as I'm here, they will never dare to disobey you. If someone really disobeys you, you will repay me and I will never give you mercy.
"
"As for the fact that you have never been in charge of a school before, it doesn't matter. The Wucheng Academy is different from the Imperial College and the Martial Arts Hall, and the methods of management are also completely different. Even if you have been in charge of a school before, it will not be of much use."
"Your Majesty, I think that someone who has been a private school teacher is more suitable to be the director of Wucheng Academy. I have never been a private school teacher, so I am not suitable. I recommend Yang Shiqi, the dean of Gezhiyuan, or Luan Wei, who has taught His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to be the director of Wucheng Academy.
Chief of Staff." Chen Ji continued to shirk.
"The Gezhiyuan that Yang Shiqi is in charge of is also a yamen that I value very much. I can't find a suitable person to replace him at the moment. As for Luan Wei, I won't hide it from you. He has no ability to be an official, so he teaches young children in the palace." Yun said.
road.
"Your Majesty, even so, Yang Sheren was a private school teacher and Hu Sheren was a county school teacher, so they are both more suitable than ministers." Chen Ji still shied away.
"Neither Yang Zhu nor Hu Yan are suitable to be in charge of the school. Chen Ji, you don't have to shirk it. I tell you the truth, the Five City School is extremely important, and I must choose a person with an upright character to be the chief secretary. Yang Zhu and Hu Yan have bad tempers.
They are all a bit tactful and cannot be fooled. The only person I can trust now and who has no other important errands is you." Yun said very directly.
"When you go to Wucheng Academy to serve as the division chief, I can hand over your current errands to the two of them."
"Since your majesty trusts me so much, I will definitely take care of the general affairs of the Five Cities School for your majesty." After hearing what Yun said, Chen Ji no longer shied away and agreed.
"That's right." Yun said with a smile, and then said: "Chen Qing, sit down next to me. I will briefly explain your errands first."
Chen Ji agreed and sat next to him. He began to give instructions seriously.
"Chen Ji, none of the gentlemen have taken up their posts yet, so I first instruct the administrators in the school to let them practice martial arts every day and read the Four Books and "Historical Records". But I will tell you what I want to teach them.
"
"First of all, of course, it is moral teaching. Virtue comes first before learning. How can a person become a human being without virtue? I do not seek to teach them to become saints, but they must also be people of high moral character."
Although Yun opposes the moralism that Confucianism has developed to the present, he does not oppose the Confucian view that morality is very important. Morality is the standard for people to do things. It requires us and helps us, and conscientiously restrains us in life. If
Without morality or losing morality, it is difficult for human beings to be beautiful. Even in the animal world, people are irrational and have no wisdom. It is driven by morality that establishes a harmonious human society; it is only the requirements of morality that create social groups.
Organization; the embodiment of morality, makes people self-respect and self-love; it is the spur of morality and creates a living space for people. A person who does not understand morality and has no morality is terrible. No matter Laozi, Confucius or Mozi, etc.
Pay great attention to morality.
This is not only the case in China, but also in all countries in the world. Socrates, one of the most famous philosophers in ancient Greece, put forward the concept of "morality is knowledge", which became the cornerstone of moral views in the entire European philosophical community in later generations. Morality, intelligence, and physical integrity
The concept of development was first proposed by Western countries. After China introduced it, it just added "artistic labor".
However, "Moral teaching cannot be taught by setting up a special course and asking them to read the books of the sages of the past dynasties. From my point of view, since Mencius, the great Confucian scholars of all dynasties have gone astray in moral teaching."
Yun unceremoniously denounced the great Confucians of the past dynasties, and rushed to catch Chen Ji before he could speak: "What is morality? Morality is the standard of life. After all, the content read from the book is empty, making it difficult for people to clearly understand
.But since Han Wu deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, most of the moral teaching has been to let students read the writings of the sages. Therefore, I say that the great Confucian scholars of all ages have gone astray in moral teaching."
"In fact, the moral teachings of Confucius are very good. From the Analects of Confucius, it can be seen that Confucius rarely directly instills an idea into students, but discusses something with students, enlightens students through constant questions and answers, and makes students
I find myself accepting this idea naturally.”
I feel that the teaching method used by Confucius is very suitable, and this method should also be used to teach students in the Wucheng School. Chen Ji, although you are only the chief secretary, I leave the moral teaching to you."
"Your Majesty, please make it clear." Although Chen Ji felt that what Yun said was reasonable, he had never received this kind of moral education and was not sure about it.
"Although there are only more than thirty students in Wucheng Academy, things of all sizes happen every day. If something bigger happens, you not only have to deal with or encourage the students involved, but you also have to hold an all-student meeting.
, clearly tell all students why the situation is handled in this way, based on the moral basis. If it involves a school rule, explain to the students why this school rule is formulated in this way. In short, explain to the students the cause and effect of the matter and the reason for the disposition.
Clearly, we also use this to tell students what is right and what is wrong. This is moral teaching."
Yun's method comes from the "Harry Potter" series of movies. I wonder if you have watched a certain movie in the "Harry Potter" series from beginning to end and paid attention to several speeches made by Principal Dumbledore. In
In Yun's opinion, every speech Dumbledore gives to all students is an excellent moral education. Especially the speech at the end of the fourth one, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", no matter what others think, even if
Even though he knew it was a movie, Yun was deeply affected by it in his previous life.
After talking about moral education, Yun talked about intellectual education. "The courses offered are divided into two categories, one of which is to teach them to read. Because they are still young, I do not offer many courses. The first is of course reading scriptures. The Four Books and Five Classics are
It's excellent. Except for "The Book of Changes" which is too profound and "Zuo Zhuan" which is a separate history book, the other four books and three classics must be read."
"The second is to read history. People are wise, so they must read history books. However, because they are young, we don't read too profound books first. Let them read "Historical Records" first in the first grade, and then read the rest later.
"
"Your Majesty, I think that although "Historical Records" is of excellent literary quality and is our first general history of China, it is not suitable for young people to read," Chen Jiti suggested.
"Then what book do you think we should let them read?"
"I think it is better to let them read Zuozhuan. Zuozhuan is the first history book of China, and the text is concise and easy to understand. It is also one of the Five Classics, so it is consistent with reading scriptures."
"In that case, let them read "Zuo Zhuan" first." Yun followed suit.
"The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth are respectively among the six arts of the gentleman: etiquette, music, calligraphy, and mathematics. The reason for opening these courses was already mentioned when I wanted to open them in the Imperial College and the Jiangwu Hall.
, I won’t tell you anymore.”
"The seventh one is Gezhi Class. The human geography taught in Gezhi Class is all-encompassing and there are no certain rules. I teach this course myself."
"After that, it is about the military and martial arts classes. The first thing to be set up in the military and martial arts classes is the martial arts class. However, it does not teach advanced martial arts, but only teaches some superficial martial arts. The students in the Wucheng Academy are all descendants of noble families, and they are not good at all.
If the children of a hereditary commander's family want to learn advanced martial arts, they can find their own way, and the Five Cities Academy will not teach them."
"Second, the course to be established is physical education."
"Physical education class?" Chen Ji repeated with some confusion.
"It is a class that allows them to move their muscles and bones." Yun roughly explained this sentence, and then said: "The physical education class is different from the martial arts class. The martial arts class teaches martial arts, while the physical education class only allows them to move their muscles and bones without teaching martial arts."
"I originally wanted to have more activities in the physical education class, but now it seems that there can only be one activity for them to play Cuju."
"Cuju?"
"It's Cuju. But the Cuju I want to promote in physical education classes is different from the popular Cuju during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. I will tell the teacher in the physical education class exactly how it is, so you don't have to worry about it."
"These children are still young, so we will only offer these courses for the time being," Yun finally said.
