Chapter 026, Tai Chi Yili
() Canglong spoke at length for about a class, the students were buried in listening, they had long been accustomed to Teacher Cang's usual surprising few words, but when it came to class, especially when they wanted to give them a "political lesson", they could come up with a set of truths, so that they were always convinced from resistance to the end
And Canglong knows very well that what he can listen to now may be the majority, and only a few can understand, and even if they understand, they only understand a small part, because there is another part hidden in these words that Canglong can't teach, which requires them to understand which part is their own life
Many people have a vague understanding of the profession of teacher, because they have many interpretations of the teacher, but in the eyes of the students of Class 9, the understanding of the teacher is very clear, because they have a teacher
After class, in Yi Xiaochuan's words, many teachers are teaching them how to master knowledge, and Teacher Cang is teaching them how to face life
So that what may be disdainful to outsiders is something that touches the heart in the eyes of the students of Class 9, and the most important thing is that Teacher Cang can always tell the truth that is almost rotten in the mouths of parents, and when it is retold it, it is so vivid that people can't have that feeling of boredom and irritability
When the students looked back, they found that in fact, there were many of these verbose truths, and they all knew that because their parents and some other teachers counted them every day, they just didn't have as profound as Teacher Cang said
So after this lesson, they learned how to understand the previous truths that were very verbose and irritable for them, and when comparing what Canglong said with them, they suddenly found that most of them were actually similar, the feeling that entered their ears was different, Teacher Cang gave them a very comfortable feeling, and their parents and other teachers gave them a very irritable feeling
It seems that it is not only the students of Class 9 who are convinced, but also the teachers who used to have great prejudice against Canglong, of course, only those older teachers
Not only Sun Liping stood outside listening to this class, but there were also many older teachers, and some young teachers who watched the excitement
They were very unbelievable to find that the students of Class 9 actually listened to these truths from beginning to end, and finally accepted them without any rebuttal, thinking about it, they found that the teaching was actually the same, but they paid too much attention to their own identity to make the students very disgusted
After taking that class, Canglong didn't stay in school in the afternoon, and then handed it over to Sun Liping, seeing that the seats in Class 9 were full again, Sun Liping suddenly felt a little lost, and said why she couldn't do this, so after many reasons, she finally couldn't understand Canglong, and she couldn't understand this group of students
But she didn't complain about Canglong, because Class 9 was originally a pilot class, a pilot class shouldering educational reform, and it was also a problem for students, and Canglong was such a question, the teacher asked the question, and the student was matched with the question, and the teacher naturally understood each other better
But Sun Liping never thought about it, in fact, the problem is not in the students or Canglong, but in themselves, when everyone thinks they are right, then those who think they are wrong become the problem, the terrible thing is that everyone feels that they are right, but the times are going in the opposite direction to what they think is right
Canglong came to Principal Sun's house in the evening, he didn't rush to the hospital, because Yu Xue was there, and it didn't matter if he stayed by his side, he didn't have much time to make his heart ache or let him immerse himself in it, just like he said, there are some things he can't do, so he can only resign himself to fate
"Resign yourself to fate, hehe" Canglong smiled bitterly, and he didn't know why such a word suddenly popped up in his mind
Principal Sun's daily life has been very pleasant since he was not dismissed, and when I saw him again, I found that he was a little radiant and was moving the plants out of the study
Canglong didn't know why he came here, he seemed to have a lot of things on hand that was worth doing for him, but he came
And Principal Sun was not surprised to see him coming, took the daffodil in his hand and carefully placed it in the yard, looked at him with a smile and said, "You have changed a lot more than when I first met you, and the more you experience, the greater the change."
"You are always a humble person," Canglong said in a calm tone, and involuntarily walked into Principal Sun's study
There were a lot of flowers and plants on the desk inside, and Principal Sun moved them in in the morning and out them in the evening, repeating it again and again, but he never felt irritated
He picked up two pots of flowers and walked out, but Principal Sun said with a worried face: "You kid is too anxious, it's not enough to move one pot at a time, why do you have to move two pots?"
Canglong was stunned for a moment, and finally put the flowers down carefully, Principal Sun was not worried that his flowers would break, but to tell Canglong something, but Canglong shook his head: "I don't have much time, so I can only move two or more pots at a time."
"Look at it, it's only been a long time since I came to China, and I've become the same as the people here," Principal Sun shook his head, and walked into the study again, carefully moving out the last few pots of flowers one by one, and carefully placing them away, "When people are old, they are slow to do everything, but slow is good, at least they won't do anything wrong, and they won't do stupid things because of anxiety."
This sentence means something, Canglong understood the meaning and said: "I don't have your old state of mind yet, and there is a process to get to the point where you are old."
"Process" Principal Sun put down the work in his hand and looked at Canglong, "You said that you need a process, but what you are doing is helping the seedlings, I see the anxiety in you, you want to do everything well, but you don't know, once you want to do everything well, you can't do a thing."
"Then you mean to let me take my time," Canglong asked calmly, "but I don't have much time"
"There is an old Chinese saying, once you are a teacher, you will be a teacher for life, you kid is still here with me to make excuses that you don't have time," Principal Sun asked rhetorically
Hearing this, Canglong was silent, and at this moment, he suddenly understood what he was doing here, Principal Sun, maybe just to find an answer, just like the students were now desperate to find such an answer from him
"Sometimes you need to give people a process to digest slowly, teach them everything, even if you think they understood it at the time, but in fact they don't understand because they haven't gone through that process yet," Principal Sun said slowly, and finally looked at Canglong and asked, "Stay and eat with me in the evening."
Canglong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly turned around: "Originally, I planned to go to the Education Bureau to knock over the jobs of those people, but now I don't want to go, and it is also a good choice to stay and try your old skills."
"Hey, that's right," Principal Sun smiled and nodded, then put down his flowers and plants and went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking
Before Canglong came, Sun Liping told Principal Sun everything, so Principal Sun knew that the lesson that Canglong would give to the students as soon as he came back, in Principal Sun's eyes, Canglong was still a little too anxious, and that lesson should not be taught to them at this time
Principal Sun went to cook, Canglong walked around Principal Sun's room, he needed to be calm so much, he needed to be calm in his heart, there was a moment of luxury for him, Principal Sun, this is the best place, whenever he came here and saw this old man, he would always feel that everything had become so simple in his eyes, maybe because of wisdom and a wise person, any busyness became simple and slow, time here is not the turbulent flow of the outside world, but normal, like a trickle, how to do it
It's just that many people can't understand it, just like moving flowers, Canglong thinks that it is efficient to move it quickly, and Principal Sun thinks about how to protect the pot of flowers in the handling, so the mood of the two is immediately reflected, Canglong seems impatient, and Principal Sun seems calm
Most people will definitely think that Principal Sun's way is a waste of time, and what can be done in one minute is just for him to finish in ten minutes
But in fact, it's not that he's stupid, it's just that he's slow, and the world is moving too fast, so outsiders who have adapted to the fast pace will think that Principal Xun is stupid
Sometimes Canglong can't understand this kind of slowness, because many things need to be fast, and people are following the rhythm of this era and adapting to this era
Principal Sun's cooking is also slow and meticulous, but when Canglong arrived in the kitchen, he found that although Principal Sun's cooking was slow, his mastery of the heat was an art, so Canglong suddenly understood a truth
By the time Principal Sun had made dinner, it had been more than an hour later, and this was because he had washed all the dishes in advance, and a table of dishes suddenly made Canglong think of Yu Xue, how could Yu Xue do things like this, so he could feel a peace by Yu Xue's side
After several tosses, Canglong suddenly understood what the answer he was looking for, because Principal Sun and Yu Xue were actually in the same state of mind, he just wanted to feel the tranquility that he had felt by Yu Xue's side in Principal Sun, so he sent the gods to come, and he didn't even know why he came
"Do you know Tai Chi" During the meal, Principal Sun took out the wine and poured a glass for Canglong, he basically didn't drink when he was teaching at the school, but after he was not in the school, he would occasionally take a few sips
"The core of Chinese tradition, Tai Chi, Liangyi, Sancai, Sixiang, Wuxing, **, Seven Stars, Bagua and Nine Palaces", Cang Long said calmly, these simple words actually contain the core of Sinicization, "From the perspective of Westerners, Chinese's philosophical outlook is based on these abstract things, so it is difficult for foreigners to understand the way of thinking of Chinese, just like they cannot understand the meaning behind these words"
"Hehe, you are the only person I have ever seen who knows everything about Westernization and at the same time knows Chinese traditionalism," Principal Sun smiled, "and these words you are talking about are actually enough to be used for a lifetime as long as you understand one of them."
Canglong shook his head: "In most people's words, I'm just a fake foreign devil who can't get into the stream."
"But you know more about sinicization than most native-born Chinese, so they are not qualified to say that you are not in the stream," Principal Sun looked at him. In the same way, you can't meet everyone's needs, recently I saw such a picture in the newspaper, which painted an old couple riding a donkey, and the two of them rode on a donkey, so some people scolded them for being too ruthless to ride on such a little donkey, and then the couple tried to satisfy the eyes of others, so the wife got off the donkey, but someone scolded the husband, saying that he was so selfish and rode the donkey alone, so the husband had to go down and let his wife ride the donkey, but some people scolded the husband and said, why are you so stupid, you actually let your wife ride a donkey, so the wife had to come down, neither of them rode the donkey, and said in their hearts, so you don't have to scold, but everyone came together and said that this couple is really stupid, there is a donkey not to ride, to walk by yourself”
Canglong suddenly smiled, so helpless, because no matter who he was, he had done this, scolding the old couple, and the donkey rider was just scolding from a different angle, some people were from this angle, and some people were from that angle, but these scolders were often just trying to vent the impulse and anger that they had been scolded for, but after scolding, they didn't get anything, but put a huge burden on their backs
"You don't have to meet everyone's needs for many things, go with your heart, everything is enough, follow the will of others, and you will only go more and more crookedly, and finally find that you are not a person inside and out, and you are not convinced inside and outside," Principal Sun said calmly
"I seem to have put myself in this embarrassing situation, unable to extricate myself," Canglong breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling more comfortable in his heart, and the sorrow that had been stuck in his heart for so many days disappeared, "This is what you said Tai Chi"
"It's Tai Chi and it's also Yili," Principal Sun smiled
