Yu Xian was startled after hearing this, "Is there a Xiangyang Academy so early?"
Then Yu Xian reacted.
That's right, judging from the time, Liu Biao should indeed start working on this matter.
Speaking of Xiangyang Academy, we have to mention Dong Zhuo’s magical operations.
When the princes of Guandong raised their troops, Sun Jian teamed up with Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, to force him to death because Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, had repeatedly looked down on him.
Dong Zhuo didn't know what kind of nerve he had, but he actually selected Liu Biao, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, as his successor as the governor of Jingzhou.
After Liu Biao was appointed, he quickly rushed to Jingzhou. He first married the daughter of the Cai family, a wealthy family in Jingzhou, and then received the support of another wealthy family, the Kuai family.
After controlling the local situation, Liu Biao immediately revealed his minions.
First, with the help of Kuai Yue, he trapped and killed fifty-five clan leaders, and then attacked their tribesmen to completely eliminate future troubles.
Subsequently, Kuai Yue and Pang Ji entered Xiangyang unarmed and threatened to surrender Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng who were occupying Xiangyang City.
After Xiangyang City was captured, Liu Biao became so famous that all the other county officials removed their seals and fled.
In addition to Nanyang County controlled by Yuan Shu, Liu Biao soon nominally controlled the remaining seven counties in Jingzhou.
However, as an official appointed by Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao's status was quite subtle.
Not only did he not join the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes to conquer Dong, but even after Dong Zhuo's death, he maintained an aloof relationship with Li Jue and Guo Si.
Compared with his political silence, Liu Biao's other actions attracted the attention of scholars all over the world.
That is to expand the official school in Jingzhou and build the Xiangyang Academy.
You must know that the north had just experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion at this time, and all the counties were in a state of chaos. In the end, even Luoyang, the capital of the country with its heyday of civilization, did not escape the end of being burned to the ground.
This led to a consequence, that is, the northern scholar-bureaucrats went south one after another and fled to the relatively stable Jingzhou.
Although Liu Biao was ambiguous about his attitude towards the Xiliang army, he refused to miss this opportunity to gain political reputation.
He actively rescued those scholars in distress, expanded the official school, and recruited them to continue their studies.
As its reputation spread, more and more scholars chose to settle in Xiangyang.
Slowly, the scale and system of Xiangyang Academy have surpassed the system of county and state official schools. It is no exaggeration to say that from the perspective of scale alone, this newly emerged Xiangyang Academy has surpassed Yingchuan Academy.
For example, in the learning of the Han Dynasty, there was a dispute between the ancient literature school and the modern literature school. The two major schools were bounded by Qin Shihuang's burning of books and the humiliation of Confucian scholars, and each insisted on different ideas.
The knowledge learned by the Jinwen School is the knowledge that the remaining old Confucian scholars from the early Han Dynasty reorganized by dictating what they knew and learned.
The classics studied by the Guwen School were Confucian classics that had been collected before the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucians.
The scholar-bureaucrats of the Guwen School believed that the Confucianism learned by the Jinwen School had experienced wars and wars, and was transcribed orally by others, so it was no longer the original form of the classics.
The scholar-bureaucrats of the Jinwen School believe that Confucian teaching consists of great Confucians giving lectures, educating disciples, and passing it on orally to each other. Even if it is the same classic, different people can interpret different knowledge. The Confucianism they learned has a complete Uninterrupted inheritance. Compared with those ancient texts that have long been dated and whose authenticity cannot be proven, the current text is undoubtedly closer to the original meaning of Confucianism.
These two schools fought with each other by excerpting chapters and sentences. Some talented Confucian scholars took the opportunity to explain their own knowledge, and a large number of derivative schools emerged.
This leads to another problem.
Later generations of students took a book and took a look.
——Oh, the book is densely packed with barrages, and there are even some meaningless 666s.
After working on it for a long time, everyone watched the barrage with great interest. What did the book mean, but they became more and more confused.
This shortcoming became more and more serious later on, and some great scholars began to take the initiative to delete posts, take the essence and discard the dross, and gradually form their own thoughts.
However, these are just the opinions of one family, and their influence is only within a few schools of thought.
So at this time, Liu Biao made a move of great significance.
——Consume huge manpower and material resources to repair the classics!
He imitated the work of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty in compiling "White Tiger Tongyi", and convened a large number of scholars to review the five classics "Poetry", "Shangshu", "Li", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn" in one go, and at the same time cut out the complex and simplified it, creating an academic system.
The "Five Classics Chapters and Judgments" has an important influence in history.
From Liu Biao's point of view, since he lacked a foundation, it was better for him to compete for the hearts and minds of scholar-bureaucrats than to compete with other powerful men in areas he was not good at.
You know, Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty Liu Heng was elected as emperor by Taiwei Zhou Bo who put down the Zhulu Rebellion because of his generosity and kindness and his excellent reputation!
He tactfully kept aloof from the Xiliang army, and as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, he had a sense of presence among the Kwantung princes.
Unfortunately, this intention of overtaking in a corner was quickly discovered by his ally Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao would rather recommend Liu Yu as the emperor than support Liu Biao.
Judging from the time, this is the time when Liu Biao is fully planning for overtaking in the corner.
His Xiangyang Academy was prosperous with talents. The person who was in charge of the five professions was Song Zhongzi, who was very prestigious, and the person who was the lecturer of official studies was the world-famous Sima Decao.
In addition, there are Qi Wukai and Yingrong who are temporarily living in Zhouxue.
Yingrong was not famous in later generations, but in this era, Yingrong alone can attract thousands of followers.
In addition to these, there are also some miscellaneous talents.
For example, Du Kui, who previously served as Ya Le Lang in the imperial court, was proficient in temperament, silk, bamboo and eight tones.
Liu Biao asked him and Meng Yao to organize elegant music and teach students music theory.
Handan Chun was both erudite and rich in literary talent; Liang Hu once served as the minister of selection for the imperial court, and his eight-point book was valued even by Emperor Ling.
One of these two people is responsible for teaching everyone small calligraphy, and the other is responsible for teaching everyone big calligraphy. They are both deeply respected and loved by the students.
Moreover, even Cao Cao, who was excellent in literary talent, loved Liang Hu's calligraphy.
Later, Cao Cao captured Jingzhou and finally took this idol as his own.
The happy Cao Mengde not only nailed Liang Hu's words all over the wall, he even changed the plaques and pillars of the Wei Palace.
Cao Cao wandered among Liang Hu's writings every day, and he was dazzled by them and was not satisfied.
From then on, Liang Hu's words also left a good reputation in history as "Taizu forgot to sleep, and looked at it with mournful eyes".
With the ability of Zhang Lu, the headmaster of Heming Taoist Palace, he suffered a lot of losses when facing Yingchuan Academy. Xiangyang Academy was so culturally prosperous that Diao Chan, a fox demon, would not dare to go there and act recklessly.
Yu Xian said hurriedly, "I'm not asking you to go to Xiangyang Academy. I'm asking you to find someone for me. I have an old acquaintance named Zuoqiu Junyi. After the Luoyang Rebellion, he went to Xiangyang to avoid trouble. Although he was a novelist by birth
He is outside the ninth rank, but he has many unique talents. I want to entrust him to do something for me."
Diao Chan neither agreed nor asked any more questions.
She jumped up easily and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave first. If Master dies, remember to give me a dream and make me happy."
"My disciple will burn paper for you."
Yu Xian was extremely sleepy and was too lazy to pay attention. He blew out smoke from his mouth to cover his figure and fell asleep.
