Before the fourteenth century, Indian temples were mostly built of schist and consisted of one or more square temples, which were called "Indian obelisk temples".
In the middle and late period of Ananda's rule, South Indian temples were influenced by the Tamil style, and the minarets became more rounded and refined. The building materials were granite, and there was a wall around the temple, which was equivalent to a small city.
There are many temples and statues of gods.
Lin Qicai looked up at the school gate and exclaimed: "This is a school? This is just a small town."
The entire university is surrounded by city walls, and the school gates are four city gates.
This place used to be dedicated to Shiva. The main hall, holy tower and statues were demolished in pieces. They were replaced by several three-story stone buildings with extremely weird architectural styles.
Ming craftsmen were responsible for the foundation work, and laid many layers of triple soil. This was also done for the palaces and city walls in Beijing.
The main body is the responsibility of Tamil craftsmen. It has stone pillars and a porch. At first glance, it may seem like a European building, but in fact it is a South Indian style.
Ming craftsmen were responsible for the top floor, with brackets and cornices, glazed tiles, and a pretend lightning rod on the roof.
The windows are large and equipped with glass. These glasses are expensive and imported from Shandong.
In addition, there is a rockery garden on campus. At first glance, it might seem like a Jiangnan garden, but a large number of bodhi trees are planted there.
Lin Zaizhi fell in love with this place at first sight. The combination of Chinese and Indian architectural styles creates a very unique atmosphere. Moreover, the learning atmosphere here is strong, with students holding books everywhere, and there is even an on-campus football field.
"Can women also study in university?" Lin Zaizhi suddenly exclaimed.
Lin Qicai smiled and said: "My sister studied here and met the seventh son of the Grand Master's family."
There are not many female students in Peiyang University, accounting for less than 10%, but this still surprises Lin Zaizhi.
Immediately, Lin Zaizhi clapped his hands and praised: "This is very good. Men can study, why can't women study? Let me see, the Grand Master should also let women take the imperial examination and become officials!"
Lin Zaizhi, or Li Zhi, is a master of mind science from another time and space.
This guy has been deviant since he was a child. When he was twelve years old, he wrote "The Theory of Old Farmers and Lao Farmers", which satirized Confucius for treating farmers as villains.
This gentleman was admitted to the Juren Examination but did not want to go to Beijing for the examination. Instead, he returned to his hometown to give lectures. Monks, woodcutters, farmers, merchants, and women from boudoirs all came to listen. Later, he became a teacher and became a doctor of the Imperial College in Beijing.
, because of his outstanding talent and learning, he was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Justice, Wai Lang, and was even sent out to be the prefect of Yunnan.
The Taizhou School was already radical, and Li Zhi's thoughts were even more radical. He criticized Confucius, opposed the emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, advocated respect for women, and praised Qin Shihuang as the only emperor through the ages.
Because of his great influence among the people, he was impeached and imprisoned for "advocating fallacies and heresies."
At that time, Emperor Wanli did not take it seriously and originally wanted to release Li Zhi. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi actually committed suicide in prison and died.
At this moment, Lin Zaizhi saw many female students and immediately became happy, thinking that the enlightened atmosphere here was very suitable for him.
Lin Zaizhi was observing the gender of the students, but Lin Qicai was observing the ethnicity of the students.
There are pure Han students, mixed Han students, and local students who are either black or white.
Among the local students, there were quite a few dark-skinned ones, mainly children of the Sudra caste. Most of their parents were servants of Tianzhu Cotton Association merchants, and they learned to speak Chinese from an early age. In order to speed up the naturalization process, Wang Yuan ordered Pei
All Han merchants in Yangcheng must send at least one servant's child to school.
As for white-skinned local students, more than 90% are children of aristocrats.
The princes and nobles of the northern kingdoms must send at least one child to Peiyang to learn Han culture, otherwise they will be regarded as intending to rebel!
The two of them were walking on campus when they suddenly saw a woman coming, followed by two waitresses with knives.
Wherever this woman passed, students stopped and bowed in greeting.
After the woman left, Lin Zaizhi stopped a student and asked, "Can I disturb my brother for a moment?"
The student was a mixed-race Han Chinese, wearing a modified version of the Confucian shirt with a wider open collar and shorter sleeves to adapt to the hot climate in India. The man bowed in return and said, "Your Excellency, you have just come from the Ming Dynasty?
If you have any questions, it’s okay to ask.”
Lin Zaizhi smiled and said: "Brother, how did you know that I just came from the Ming Dynasty?"
The student said: "Your Excellency's Confucian shirt is made in the Ming Dynasty. The heat in today's Zhu is unbearable. It will be even hotter in half a month. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it by then wearing this kind of Confucian shirt."
"So that's it," Lin Zaizhi suddenly realized, pointing to where the woman was and asked, "Who is that female gentleman?"
The student suddenly became respectful, cupped his hands and said to the north: "Mrs. Huang, the Queen of Tianzhu, is the queen. But in school, we all call him Professor Huang. Peiyang University was founded by Professor Huang. Now, Professor Huang has two roles.
One of the classes is chemistry and the other is vocabulary. Even though I am a queen, I teach regardless of rain or shine. Last year, I even gave lessons even though I was ill."
"So that's it," Lin Zaizhi suddenly said, "As early as the Ming Dynasty, I heard that Mrs. Huang was the most talented woman in the world."
The student smiled and said: "There is also a military academy in the west of the city, and Mrs. Song is the director of the academy. The two queens, one civilized and one military, have long been the talk of the country."
Lin Qicai frowned, because the Ming Dynasty did not allow the harem to interfere in politics, and even relatives were raised as pigs. And the two queens of Tianzhu were actually in charge of the civil and military colleges respectively. Aren't they afraid of forming political factions in the future?
Lin Zaizhi was very happy, thinking that Tianzhu had an open atmosphere and was not full of shackles like the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Zaizhi said: "My surname is Lin, my given name is Zaizhi, and my courtesy name is Hongfu. I don't know my brother's surname yet."
The student said: "It turns out that it was Brother Lin in person. My surname is Yuan, my given name is Yaozong, and my given name is Xianzu."
Lin Qicai's ancestors once married a woman with lustful eyes and converted to the Green religion at that time. Over the past hundred years, the mixed-race characteristics have been diluted, but you can still distinguish them if you look closely. He said with a smile: "My ancestors had an uncle who once married a foreign race, and he still has it today.
I can identify you. Your appearance seems to be..."
Yuan Yaozong said: "There is no need to hide this matter. My father is a Han Chinese and his ancestral home is Guangdong. My mother was originally a Kshatriya noble. When Indian troops arrived, my mother's family was destroyed, so she was assigned to my father as his wife. Although this is against the law.
The way of humanity is to follow the way of heaven. The people of China have the important task of opening up territories and extending the world. Although my mother suffered a misfortune, it is like a passing cloud. I should be filial and filial to make up for it."
Lin Qicai and Lin Zaizhi looked at each other, both shocked.
This person spoke lightly, but it concealed a bloody truth. It is estimated that all the men in his mother's family suffered at that time, and were forcibly assigned to marry his father.
Yuan Yaozong, a mixed-race Han Chinese, has a perverted and fanatical mentality.
From the education he received for a long time, he was proud of being a Han Chinese, but he was somewhat inferior because of his mother's identity and was afraid of not being able to integrate into the Han society. Therefore, they, the mixed-race Hans, must use Wang Yuan's pioneering theory to give themselves
Defining social identity - their birth is in accordance with the will of heaven. Although the mother suffered the disaster of breaking up the family, it was inevitable. He must be filial to his mother in the future, but he must also continue to fight for the development of China.
To put it bluntly, as long as there are more mixed-race Han Americans, they won’t be such an eyesore.
In order to pursue the normalization of social identity, these people are strong supporters of the pioneering theory. They even despise naturalized people, feeling that naturalized people are unorthodox, and eagerly hope that more Han people will marry locals.
Just last year, these students collectively petitioned the king to issue a decree requiring all naturalized Han Chinese to change their Chinese names.
Wang Yuan thought it was reasonable and immediately promulgated relevant laws.
Cabinet minister Rama Deva Wang was the first to do so, so he changed his Chinese name to "Wang Dezhao" and even asked someone to draw up a genealogy.
This move greatly excited the mixed-race students. They began to form a club to discuss governance strategies in private, and from time to time they would go to the university to discuss matters. Wang Yuan occasionally came to the university to give lectures in person. It was very convenient for them to hand over the papers to the king directly.
.
This is a political force that is about to rise. More than 20 mixed-race Han people have already entered politics, and the highest official position has now been Zhizhou (provincial county head).
It is very likely that they will become the mainstream of politics in the future!
This is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Pure Han officials are now somewhat content with the status quo. On the contrary, mixed-race Han officials are clamoring all day to increase immigration, encourage immigrants to marry locals, and clamor to cancel the autonomy of the northern states.
.Their existence itself is to expand the territory of China. Only by continuous expansion can they be in line with their identity.
Fortunately, Wang Yuan proposed the Chinese expansion theory early, otherwise these mixed-race people would have been confused and unable to find their own social significance.
Yuan Yaozong took the two of them to visit the school, pointed to a building and said: "That's the Hanlin Academy."
"The Hanlin Academy is in the university?" Lin Qicai was surprised again.
Yuan Yaozong smiled and said: "The Hanlin Academy in Tianzhu is different from the Hanlin Academy in Ming Dynasty. The duties of Hanlin Academy scholars are first to research knowledge, secondly to compile teaching books, and finally to serve as advisors to the king."
Lin Zaizhi nodded and said: "This method is very suitable for me."
Yuan Yaozong said proudly: "There is an auditorium in the Hanlin Academy building. Your Majesty will definitely come to give lectures on the fifth day of every month. We are all His Majesty's disciples."
Lin Zaizhi asked: "Are you talking about physics?"
Yuan Yaozong shook his head: "Teach the Four Books and Five Classics."
Lin Zaizhi laughed: "Wonderful!"
Lin Qicai asked: "Why is it so wonderful?"
Lin Zaizhi said: "Tianzhu is far away from China and must be unified with culture. The most important task of this country is not to spread physics, but to spread Confucianism. Taishi knew it very well. By the way, Taishi's Four Books and Five Classics are probably as good as
Isn’t it different in Ming Dynasty?”
Yuan Yaozong asked: "What's the difference?"
Lin Zaizhi asked: "What are the three cardinal principles and the five constant principles?"
Yuan Yaozong said confusedly: "There is no such thing as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules. There are only the Five Ethics and the Five Constant Rules."
Lin Qicai was horrified that Wang Yuan had completely eliminated the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules. That was the theory proposed by Dong Zhongshu.
However, Lin Zaizhi admired Mencius and said even more happily: "The Grand Master really respects the ancient Confucian scholar of the pre-Qin Dynasty!"
Yuan Yaozong recounted: "His Majesty preached that the five moral ethics are king and subject, father and son, husband and wife, elder and young, and friends. The five constants are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust. A king should love and protect his subjects; a subject should be loyal to the king.
.As parents, you should love and care for your children; as children, you should be filial to your parents. The elders love the young, and the young respect the elders. This means respecting the old and loving the young. When getting along with friends, you should also be friendly and harmonious, observe etiquette and be honest..."
Lin Zaizhi smiled and said to Lin Qicai: "Brother, I want to stay in Tianzhu and am determined to spread Confucianism."
Lin Qicai thought for a while and said: "Of course I will go back to Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely become a high school scholar next time!"
