Chapter 123: Scholars are really hard to do
Everything was ready, ready to enter the academy, at the door of the academy, I also met Brother Bao's son Wangcai, which made everyone even happier, and hurriedly hugged Wangcai, and finally Song Xiaobao led him into the academy.
And the moment you really enter the academy, this journey is officially opened.
Mingyue Academy, this time everyone is going to enter the academy to study, just walk in, you can hear the inside; the sound of reading, enter, there are about 50 children about six to ten years old, there are shaking their heads and reciting the "Three Character Classic".
The "Three Character Classic" is a traditional enlightenment textbook in China. Among the ancient Chinese classics, the "Three Character Classic" is one of the most simple and easy to read books. The "Three Character Classic" is based on models, including literature, history, philosophy, astronomy and geography, human ethics and righteousness, loyalty and filial piety and righteousness of traditional Chinese culture, and the core ideas include "benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, and filial piety." "While reciting the "Three Character Classic", I learned about common sense, traditional Chinese culture and historical stories, as well as the principles of life and work in the connotation of the story.
In terms of format, the three characters and one sentence are catchy, because of the characteristics of popular, smooth and easy to remember, so that it is called the three major readings of traditional Mongolian studies in China together with "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", collectively known as "Three Hundred Thousand".
Based on historical reasons, the "Three Character Classic" inevitably contains some spiritual dregs and artistic flaws, but its unique ideological value and cultural charm are still recognized by the world, and have been regarded as a classic by the Chinese people of all generations and continue to circulate.
Listening to the sound of the children reading, the members of the crossing smiled again and again, and they all felt that these children were very cute, and when everyone was also reading the "Three Character Classic" with the children, suddenly the children stood up, and then bowed and bowed: "The mountain is good." ”
Then Zhang Guoli walked out, first let the children on the scene leave, and then beckoned the crossing members to come over: "You are the new scholars, please come forward." ”
When the crossing members lined up, I heard the mountain chief played by Zhang Guoli say with a smile: "You are about to become the scholars of Mingyue Academy, and the first thing you have to learn is to be quiet, because the academy is a place to study quietly." ”
"Good.... As soon as Mr. Guoli finished speaking, the sycophant beetle was immediately online, and he seemed to have forgotten that it was because he slapped the sycophant last time, and then he was hung up!
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Guoli looked at the puppy in Song Xiaobao's hand and said, "Who brought this puppy?"
was asked by Zhang Guoli, all the people hid back, afraid of taking responsibility, and Yu Xiaotong was Song Xiaobao, who had always been by his side, said: "It is Brother Bao's son." ”
After speaking, Song Xiaobao grabbed Wangcai and said: "I tell you Wangcai, no one will be allowed to hug it in the future, at this time, no one will squeak when I ask about the responsibility, it is all Brother Bao's responsibility, and no one will want to hug it in the future." Then he summoned up the courage and shouted, "It's mine." ”
"No dog is allowed in the academy, this is the school rule, give this dog out. ”
Fortunately, the mountain chief did not get angry this time, Xiaobao escaped, and waited for the dog to be sent out, what Yu Xiaotong and Zhang Churan did not expect was that when the two of them were unlucky, because the academy did not allow female dependents to enter and exit, so Reba and Hailu drove away, Yu Xiaotong wanted to resist, and was directly punished by the mountain chief and knelt in place.
Then the mountain chief asked the scholar to leave, and told the scholars that there are dozens of good guys, and when the school rules are finished, the mountain chief took all the new students to start preparing for the entrance ceremony.
What is the entrance to the pan, the entrance gift of students in ancient times was very heavy, after all, in ancient times, everything was inferior, only reading was high.
The first link is "Dressing Up". The ancients had a saying: "First dress properly, then understand things." In this session, the children stood one by one, and the husband arranged the clothes for the children in turn. "The Book of Rites" has a cloud: "The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in the correct appearance, the same color, and the following words." "First dress up, then do learning, it seems that this is the consensus of the ancients.
After tidying up, the students gathered in a neat line in front of the school. After standing for a while, under the guidance of the master, after stepping over a semi-circular pool (pan pond), the apprenticeship will be performed. After worshiping Confucius, worship Mr. again. When worshipping Mr., the students presented him with six rites of cultivation, including: celery, which means diligence and studiousness, lotus seeds, which means painstaking education, red beans, which means red luck, dates, which means early and high school, longan, which means complete merit, and dried and lean pork strips, which are used to express the disciples' intentions. After that, the students bow to each other to show their love and help each other.
The fourth link is hand cleansing. Students put their hands in a basin of water, wash them on the front and back, and then dry them. The meaning of hand washing is to clean hands and minds, remove miscellaneous essences, and hope to have no distractions in the future learning center.
In addition, you must also fill out the "personal confession", which is equivalent to the new student enrollment registration form, and write down your "age and place of origin". Since there were no photos at that time, it was necessary to indicate "body (i.e., height), white face, or beard, or no need" in the "personal confession", and then the teacher sorted it out and sent it to each college.
The steps of the "Initiation Ceremony" are based on the "Book of Rites" and the "Disciple Rules". After such a ceremony, it marks that the students have officially become Confucian disciples, and since then they have embarked on the road of "long and long" study.
Under the leadership of Zhang Guoli, the members of the crossing first went to dress properly, then worshiped Confucius, and filled in the "pro-confession", and then the scholars who were sent had other things to do, and they asked for six ceremonies for the scholars.
There are also Reba and Hailu who were kicked out, the director team asked them if they still wanted to record, and both of them said they wanted to, so the program team found the men's clothes of the scholars for the two of them, and asked the two of them to change into them, and then went to the market with Zhang Hanyu and Shen Xian to meet and buy six gifts together.
And when the scholars were wandering around the market, the scholars were taken to the dormitory, and then met the chief of the fast, the so-called chief of the student union in modern society, but the president of the student union in ancient times had greater rights, and he had the right to monitor morality and punish students.
This fasting chief will appear frequently in the future, and the scholars, especially Yu Xiaotong, will be beaten miserably!
............................
The first is the sub-dormitory, Zhishizhai and Jingyizhai, of which Zhishizhai is occupied by Yu Xiaotong and Song Xiaobao, and Jingyizhai is occupied by Huang Xiaolei and Zhang Churan.
Walking into their respective dormitories, Zhang Churan and Huang Xiaolei were told that from now on, the two would be classmates, so they had to live together.
This made Huang Xiaolei laugh awkwardly: "It can't be true, right, do we have to sleep together at night?"
"Of course!" The director team replied without hesitation, which made Zhang Churan and Huang Xiaolei smile awkwardly, then listened to Huang Xiaolei, looked at Zhang Churan and asked, "Are you sleeping quietly?"
Zhang Churan smiled and said, "It's very dishonest... I especially like to clip people, whoever is around will clip whomever I have. ”
"Poof.... Huang Xiaolei laughed completely speechless!
...............................
After resting in the dormitory for a while, the four scholars were taken to the academy.
As soon as he walked in, the gentleman who sat on the main seat immediately asked, "Did the four of you learn the scriptures from the west, why are you late?"
Because Brother Bao was the boss, he was pushed out by Zhang Churan and Huang Xiaolei, and he had to hug his fists and say: "Because I took a nap just now, I was late." ”
At this time, the gentleman said again: "When you come to Minglun Hall, why don't you salute when you see a teacher." ”
As soon as they heard this gentleman's words, the four scholars immediately apologized for bowing at 90 degrees, but Zhang Churan's salute was wrong, so the gentleman stood up from his position and said: "Everyone look at them, the four of you salute in a strange way, and the Confucian courtesy must not be neglected." ”
After speaking, the gentleman demonstrated: "When the left hand is outside and the right hand is inside, the so-called yin and yang hug each other, humbly bow and lean outward." ”
Learning from the teacher's appearance, the four scholars bowed to the teacher again, here is still to say a bow, since the opening of this book, many people say that bowing is the etiquette of Korea, not one or two, but many people, so I must write more about the etiquette of bowing, it is really terrible, it is obviously our etiquette, there are too many people who think that bowing is the etiquette of South Korea and Japan, and it has nothing to do with our country, as long as bowing is to learn foreigners, I really want to cry without tears, these so-called' Patriots don't even have a basic understanding, you say it's not terrible, what's even more terrifying is that they are under the banner of patriotism, and justice is incomparable!
After the four scholars finished saluting, the gentleman also returned to his seat satisfied, and then said majestically: "What I want to give you today is Mencius, the son of the confession, born in sorrow and died in peace, the so-called masterpiece of Yasheng through the ages, Shun is born in the acres. ”
After reading, the other scholars also read: "Shunfa is in the acres"
However, after reading it, suddenly Yu Xiaotong looked at Mr. and asked, "What do you mean?"
The gentleman smiled slightly, then nodded and said, "Xiaotong asked well, what does it mean, if you don't even know such a sentence, then it's not interesting." While speaking, he walked to Yu Xiaotong's side with a ring ruler, and without saying a word, it was a ring ruler: "How did you read the previous book, who is Shun?"
"Yao's son. Brother Bao shouted happily.
Zhang Churan laughed, and Mr. turned his head to stare at Song Xiaobao: "Yao's son, hand out." ”
Brother Bao panicked and said, "Is it Yao's son, Yao Shunyu?"
"Smack...!", the gentleman said speechlessly: "It's still Yao's son, come... Xiaolei, tell me, who is Shun?"
"Huh...?" Huang Xiaolei, who was named, showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Teacher, I really don't know." ”
"Smack.... Again, Huang Xiaolei screamed, "Ah... Teacher, you're really beaten, it hurts!"
However, Mr. ignored Huang Xiaolei, but looked at Zhang Churan and said, "Chu Ran, you come to tell the teacher what Shun means in the acre!"
Shun was born in the acre, Shun originally cultivated the fields in Lishan, was used by Yao at the age of 30, and later became Yao's heir. "Born in sorrow, die in peace" is a famous saying that has been wise through the ages, which means that a bad environment can arouse people's sense of distress and make them actively work hard to change the status quo and survive and develop, and eventually develop and become strong; a comfortable environment can easily wear down people's will, easily make people fall, and eventually perish in a comfortable environment. ”
After Zhang Churan finished speaking, Mr. immediately praised: "Okay... Good... Well, I thought that the four of them were all rotten wood, but I didn't expect that Chu Ran would amaze the teacher. ”
After receiving praise from the teacher, Zhang Churan was proud.
..........................
Just when the scholars were in class, the four scholars also began to carefully look for the road of the six rites in the bazaar, celery, longan, bacon, and red beans are all easy to find, but the remaining two are a little troublesome, hidden more deeply, that is, lotus seeds and red dates.
Shen Jia and Zhang Hanyu came first, so they were almost the same, but Reba and Hailu were much worse, and not only were they bad, but they couldn't figure out all the six rites.
In the end, I actually bought a chicken and went back, and when the scholars got out of school, the group came to the long place, waiting for the scholars to arrive with six rites, and it took about five minutes for the scholars to come back slowly.
Shen Xian and Zhang Hanyu's six salutes were correct, but Reba and Hailu, who had chickens, failed, and then Zhai Chang gave each of them a stick of incense, which was of different thicknesses.
The thickness of the incense represents the length of time, there is a task below, the scholar has to complete, time is very important, Zhang Churan's incense is only one hour, and Zhang Churan's task is to use movable type printing to print a picture of the peach blossom source.
Movable type printing is an ancient printing method, which was invented by the ancient working people of China after long-term practice and research. First, make a single word of the Yang text reverse text mold, and then according to the manuscript to select the single words, arrange them in the word plate, ink printing, and then remove the word mold after printing, and leave it for the next typesetting to be used again.
During the Northern Song Dynasty (1041-1048), Bi Sheng of China invented clay movable type, marking the birth of movable type printing. He was the first inventor in the world, about 400 years before the German Johannes Gutenberg movable type printing.
But it's very simple to say, according to the manuscript to pick out the words, arrange them in the word plate, ink printing, and then remove the word mold after printing, and leave it for the next typesetting to use again, but it is really difficult to do, first of all, it is difficult to typeset, because the engraved words are reversed, you have to compare little by little, not a word can be wrong.
And when the typesetting is completed, it is more difficult to print later, you think that you will do it by brushing it like this, and when the layout is finished, the words are all pasted, and you can't see what the words are at all.
Looking at the black words he printed, Zhang Churan was really depressed, to be honest, some things are very simple to say, but it is really difficult to do, especially the wisdom of the ancients, you can never believe how powerful the wisdom of the ancients is!
In the end, Zhang Churan's mission failed, and he lost completely!
After I went back, I was punished, and I was given a few brushstrokes with a brush by the chief of the fast, and the smell was really heavy.
It's just that you think this is the end, then it's impossible, and when it's time for dinner, there are still troubles, because there are rules for eating.
As soon as I entered the dining room, I saw the chief standing there, and after entering, Huang Xiaolei took the lead, and after saluting the chief, she sat down, who knew that as soon as she sat down, she was shouted by the chief to stand up.
The scholars are required to be honored and inferior according to the elder and younger, in order of age, and the scholars should stand behind them to serve the scholars, and after the scholars sit down according to the requirements of the fasting chief, the meal has not yet begun, because there are still rules for reading, the name is "Chang Liju Ju Yao", a total of more than 20 rules for eating, the chief asked Huang Xiaolei to read, read for ten minutes, everyone is about to starve to death!
