If we simply compete for cultural knowledge, such as the eight-part essay selection in later generations, then the current children of poor families and even the common people in Guizhou will naturally have no way to compare with those from aristocratic families. This is why Li Xinchen clearly emphasized this point.
Xiao Cong hurriedly handed over his hand. The seriousness of His Majesty's words showed that this was definitely not a trivial matter.
He has never regarded himself as an ordinary person. As a former member of the Xiliang royal family, he certainly knows that his identity is actually very sensitive. It is precisely because his father's identity is more sensitive than himself, so Li Xingchen pushed himself to
in front, so he knew exactly what he should do.
That is to be a good minion of Li Xingchen. Whatever Li Xingchen asks him to do, he will try his best to do it well. As a captured prince, Li Xingchen can ignore the past grudges, but he cannot remain indifferent, let alone Lan Lingxiao
It is obviously wishful thinking for the Lanling Xiao family to return to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but it does not mean that the Lanling Xiao family will not show glory in the field of scholarship again.
At least if I can do this, I will live up to the reputation of my ancestors. Therefore, the Xiao family and his son can be said to have put a lot of effort into Jinling Academy.
It even has to be said that it is precisely because of the existence of the Xiao family and his son that the former Nanliang ministers, such as Xu Ling and Gu Yewang, are even less willing to be enemies with them. After all, Xu Ling is also the former minister of Prince Zhaoming.

"Wei Chen has also discussed this matter with my father. My father also has a similar view. Now we select talents directly by examining the level of poetry learning and so on. There is indeed a big deviation. Therefore, my father believes that most people nowadays are not even qualified.
When we are able to read and write, we have to divide talents into different levels when selecting them." Xiao Cong said solemnly, "Based on the level of memory, imitation and learning shown by different talents, we will divide them into different stages. Of course,
This first of all needs to be based on age. And for those who are illiterate but also show high potential, especially those who come from poor families or even ordinary people's families, we will also carry out special training so as not to block their rise.
the way."
Li Xingchen looked at Xiao Cong who was talking eloquently in surprise. In fact, the plan Xiao Cong mentioned was very similar to the educational hierarchy system of later generations of schools. And considering the current actual situation, for example, some children from poor families, even though they are older, are not educated
The educational level is not necessarily higher than that of young children from aristocratic families, so the college is more flexible in considering stratification and grading methods, and does not use age as the only reference standard.
At the same time, pre-cultivation of people who are illiterate or less literate is actually somewhat similar to the preparatory education of later generations.
Chengdu Academy and Yuelu Academy, which have been established now, actually still use the lecture method of the pre-Qin period to teach. Students choose different studies based on their interests and study directions. This method is similar to later universities, but after all, it does not fundamentally change the subject.
To solve the problem that many students have uneven levels when they enter school, if you just put them in the same environment to receive the same education, it will naturally be easy for gaps to appear.
After all, not everyone is talented enough, and those who have the ability to enter the academy are actually not very big, which leads to a gap between different students when they enroll, and this gap will
This continues until they graduate.
In the final analysis, the ones who really have the advantage are the children of aristocratic families, so what Li Xinchen wants is not this kind of teaching method. But Rome was not built in a day, and Li Xinchen does not know that the king himself can build an absolutely fair method of selecting talents in one step. After all, even if
Even the education of later generations has been criticized for many things.
If Chengdu Academy and Yuelu Academy are exploring the cultivation of more comprehensive talents, then Jinling Academy is exploring how to systematically cultivate and even "mass-produce" talents. One of the two is breadth, the other is depth, and each has its own division of labor.
It's not that any college can only be responsible for exploring in one direction, but now each college is trying different paths in order to choose the one that is most suitable for this era among the many paths.
And this path will naturally be applied to more colleges in the end, making this education method completely become the mainstream education method of the Han Dynasty. After all, according to the regulations of the imperial court, in the next three to four years, the imperial court will actually select
Half of the talents are already composed of college talents, and by that time, each college should have a unique but integrated teaching method. Only in this way can we ensure that a sufficient number of talents can be provided to the court at that time.
It seems that this is just a job of teaching and educating people, but after Xiao Cong came into contact with it, he clearly realized that it was far from being as simple as he imagined. It is not so much that Li Xingchen was restoring a kind of teaching similar to that of Taixue and the scholars of the pre-Qin period.
The educational method of traveling to hundreds of schools and giving lectures is rather to use these previous names to develop a new method, and the so-called "academy" and the like are just using the previous names and titles. In name
It looks retro, but in fact it is made from scratch.
Of course, Xiao Cong didn't know that in another time and space, about a thousand years later, in the distant Western Qin Dynasty, there was also a group of people who adopted the same method to promote their ideas that were completely different from the old world and the old system. Then
It is a "Renaissance". What Li Xinchen wants to do is actually to create a Renaissance that belongs to China.
The so-called promotion of the theories of various schools of thought to cultivate various talents, but in fact, whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism or the knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought, it is just a means used by Li Xinchen to cultivate students, and what is really changing is
The key point is actually that this completely different educational method and educational idea from before allows students to clearly understand the current world situation and recognize the three religions and nine streams, instead of just reading the books of sages or thinking that eating, drinking and having fun will suffice.
Enjoy the glory of your family's wealth and prosperity.
The Renaissance was actually just the self-reflection and redemption of the advanced thinkers in the middle and upper classes of society, and the targets of Li Xinchen's actions actually included not only these so-called upper class people, but also people from all walks of life throughout China, regardless of whether they were scholars or scholars.
People or farmers, craftsmen or businessmen, they can all get the opportunity to study and advance through the academy, and naturally they will also get the opportunity to go to the clouds of the imperial court. This will make them more aware that in addition to being supreme, inviolable and direct
Apart from the imperial power that determines their destiny, all other sentient beings are actually more equal and have more of the same opportunities.
