The morning sun pierced through the mist and sprinkled into the mountains.

Even though the season has entered summer, Dashan Village, located in the mountainous area of northeastern China, is still a little chilly in the morning and evening.

Above the newly built mountain temple, clear smoke rises and then spreads slowly and slowly, like a beautiful woman in palace costume dancing on her feet.

In the quiet mountains and forests, the sound of children echoes, and the source of the sound comes from the mountain view.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate. The sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining. The cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest is hidden in winter. Leap more than adulthood, Lu Lu tunes the yang ......"

The immature children's voices are mixed together, and there are occasional mispronunciations or pauses in the middle, but the neat four-word sentences are pronounced from the children's mouths, and they seem to have a bit of indescribable rhythmic beauty.

In the courtyard of the Great Mountain Temple, a group of children as young as five or six years old sit neatly on small benches, shaking their heads and reciting the verses they have learned these days.

Xuan Wei, dressed in a Taoist robe, stood with his hands in his hands, as if a teacher was pacing back and forth, his expression was slightly old-fashioned, and he would subconsciously frown whenever a child made a mistake.

However, when the children recited more and more smoothly, the corners of Xuanwei's mouth also raised a hint of nonchalant smile, and he bowed his head with satisfaction.

"Moment step leading, pitching the corridor temple. Tie the solemn village, wandering and looking. Lonely and unheard, ignorant and so on. The predicate helper is also a blessing. ”

Soon, the children were able to memorize the entire verse.

Their faces were flushed, as if they were tired from the long recitation, and they seemed to be a little excited after memorizing the rhyme completely.

"Teacher, how are we going?" asked a little girl with braided hair holding up her hand.

Xuanwei couldn't see the girl's expression, but she could hear the expectation of affirmation and praise in her tone.

"You guys memorized it very well, and you deserve to be commended!" Xuan said softly.

The children cheered, as if they had obtained some rare treasure.

"But don't be proud!" Xuan Wei said in a deep voice with a face under the floor.

The little girl stuck out her tongue and said yes in unison with her friends.

For these children, the knowledge imparted by Xuanwei is like an amusement park that they have never set foot in before, and they can't help but wander in it.

Compared with fishing and catching shrimp and climbing trees to dig eggs, they found it more interesting and fulfilling to read and read with the good-looking Taoist brother in front of them, and listen to his stories and truths.

Unconsciously, the team that came to Dashanguan every morning to study grew stronger and stronger, and as of today, there is a small class of about one size.

Xuan Wei did not reject the arrival of these children, and teaching them some knowledge after morning school every day was just a gesture for him.

The villagers of Dashan Village have helped him a lot, and he has the obligation to repay the favor, and moreover, it is quite meaningful to be able to give a few enlightenment lessons to these children who should be educated.

In addition, perhaps because of the change in mentality after the loss of cultivation, when getting along with these children, Xuan Wei actually has a sense of relaxation and comfort from the heart.

Now he doesn't need to bury his head in cultivation and study, he doesn't have to worry about the view of heaven and earth, he has a lot of free time, and he has the living environment of ordinary people.

It can be said that the current life and experience are what Xuanwei lacked in the past and has never experienced, which may also be a kind of compensation and sublimation of the state of mind!

"Children, do you know what the article you just memorized is called?" Xuan Wei smiled indifferently and asked the children.

The children either shook their heads, or chattered to answer the "Three Character Classic", "Tang Poems", and "Analects".

Xuanwei picked up a piece of chalk and wrote the words "Thousand Character Text" on a small blackboard sent by the villagers.

"You must remember that the name of this rhyme is "Thousand Character Text". Xuan Wei pointed to three words and said slowly.

"Thousand Character Text" was compiled by the Liang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, and was compiled by Zhou Xingsi in the matter, and was composed of 1,000 Chinese characters, and was known as one of the three major readings of traditional Chinese Mongolian studies.

In comparison, "Thousand Character Text" may not be as famous as the other two great works of Mongolian studies, those two are "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names".

Almost any child comes out, and he can shake his head and recite two sentences: "At the beginning of man, his nature is good." Sex is similar, Xi is far away. "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang. It can be mentioned that "the heaven and the earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The child may be at a loss and don't know where this comes from.

Among the three major Mongolian studies, the content of "Hundred Family Names" has no literary science, but it adopts a four-character style, arranges the surnames, and rhymes sentences, which plays a huge role in the inheritance of Chinese surname culture and the understanding of Chinese characters.

The "Three Character Classic" is based on the model, covering the literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography of traditional Chinese culture, human ethics and righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, and so on, and its core ideas include "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, filial piety." "While learning the "Three Character Classic", I also learned common sense, traditional Chinese culture and historical stories, as well as the principles of life and work in the connotation of the story.

On the other hand, the thousand-character rhyme can be roughly divided into four parts, the first part starts from the opening of heaven and earth, mentions the changes of the four seasons of cold and summer, tells about the changes of people and the times, and there is no lack of thinking about the relationship between man and nature. The second part focuses on the standards and principles of people's self-cultivation, that is, self-cultivation, and makes an in-depth exposition on loyalty, filial piety, and people's speech and behavior, making friends, and fidelity. The third part deals with various aspects related to governance, and the final fourth part mainly describes the idyllic rural life, showing the warm and sophisticated human feelings of the people.

"Thousand Words" melts all kinds of knowledge into a furnace, and runs through it in an orderly manner, without any mistakes, such as dancing neon clothes in inch wood, drawing long threads in chaotic silk, worthy of a wonderful article.

The advent of the "Three Character Classic" also absorbs the strengths of the "Thousand Character Text" to a certain extent.

In fact, in Xuanwei's personal opinion, the enlightenment value of "Thousand Character Text" is far greater than that of "Hundred Family Names", and it is not under the "Three Character Classic"!

In particular, the simple thinking about man and nature in "A Thousand Words" has benefited a lot even from Xuanwei so far.

Compared with the "Three Character Classic", which is more like giving people a fixed frame, Xuan Wei still feels that the "Thousand Character Text" with infinite mysteries in simplicity and nature is more in line with his taste.

Hawkers, the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise!

As for why he didn't teach the children the Tao Te Ching, hehe, Xuan Wei thought that he had only read half a bowl of water for more than ten years, and even if these children memorized it throughout, it was estimated that they would only memorize it.

The reason why the three great works have been circulated for thousands of years is that they are the enlightenment books for children, and there is naturally a reason for them.
