Chapter 5: What is 'Loyalty'
The whole morning was spent in these preparations, the history of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, there is a very strict division of etiquette, one step at a time, every word, there must be enough rules, this is a kind of respect, but also a kind of support. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was not until noon that the long carriage and sedan chair came to the private school.
The whole academy played vocal music, and the cadres of the academy stood to greet it, and the scene was magnificent.
At this time, Dr. Guanglu came out of the carriage and came into everyone's sight.
This person is forty years old, neat and tidy three-grade official clothes, without a trace of wrinkles, stepping on dark official boots, giving people a dignified atmosphere, but this person shows a smile, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, his head is neatly combed, and there is no trace of dust in the official hat on his head.
He stepped out of the carriage and didn't say a word, but knelt on the ground first, rubbed his hands, and bowed three times and nine times, not missing a single salute, of course, the three-grade official Doctor Guanglu knelt on the ground, and everyone in the entire academy also knelt on the ground, but did not bow three times and bow nine times, but lowered his body, his forehead was close to the ground, and quietly waited for the adults to kneel and bow.
The name of this move is called Sannian Endi, which is the so-called, thanks to the education of the private school academy, thanks to the grace of the imperial court, and thanks to the love of the people.
For this, this is also the most important part of the literati.
After the service, Dr. Guanglu stood up, did not brush off the dust on his body, but hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the senior Confucian scholars of the academy, this simple etiquette, dispensable, but still used today, these Confucian scholars of the private school are not in high office, enjoy the glory and wealth.
On the contrary, they have been devoted to the private school for decades, creating generations of great men and talents for the Tang Dynasty, they are selfless, for such a heart of the world, hard-working Confucians, not only Guanglu doctors, the entire Tang Dynasty no one dares to despise, on the contrary, everyone admires them.
"Teacher, please get up quickly, don't bother Ziyu."
Doctor Guanglu's name is Yan Ziyu, Ziyu is called, like a milk name, only when you meet an elder, you can call yourself this one, it can be seen how much Doctor Guanglu respects the Confucians of these private schools.
Several Confucians shouted thanksgiving, and all the people who knelt down stood up, although the adults respected them and called a teacher, but the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they would not rely on the old and sell the old, on the contrary, they respected these ministers who were in the middle of the court, shared worries for the country, and shared worries for the monarch.
The next step is to bathe and change clothes, which is also an important etiquette.
The so-called in his position is incomprehensible, Dr. Guanglu came from the court and wore official clothes, but when he arrived at the private school academy, he was a teacher, so he had to withdraw his official clothes and put on civilian clothes, which is also the so-called removal of official authority and restoration of the original heart.
After this ceremony, today's lecture begins.
Doctor Guanglu sat in a high position, and the students were sitting below, and Li Bai was also there at this time.
"What is loyalty?"
Doctor Guanglu sat in a high position, his voice was loud, revealing a sense of righteousness.
"Loyalty, loyalty, and forgiveness. Loyalty is a noble virtue advocated by the Tang Dynasty. When I mention loyalty, I often think of foolish loyalty, but in fact, this is a misunderstanding. In my opinion, there is a question of loyalty, not only to the king, but also to the common people and to all people. ”
Doctor Guanglu paused and continued.
"For the most ordinary ordinary people, he must be loyal to his family, his parents, his wife and children, and the emperor. Be loyal to the family, do your best to make your family happy and stable and loyal to your parents, the so-called parents' life is greater than the sky, why? Not to mention the pain of childbirth in October, how difficult it is, just the decades of day and night companionship, the grace of nurturing, it is more valuable than the day to be loyal to the wife and children, ten years of repairing the same boat, a hundred years of cultivation to sleep together, the husband and wife, through many disasters, the fire of life has long been integrated, this loyalty, must be fulfilled in their duties, their own children, is the continuation of life, the inheritance of incense, this loyalty, difficult to do. ”
These words of advice have long been imprinted in the bones of those present.
"This is small loyalty, what is great loyalty. What Dazhong is talking about is that the king is loyal to the people, thinking about benefiting the people, and being loyal. The subjects are loyal to the monarch, and they are loyal to the monarch. The so-called loyalty is to seek goodness in the heart and due diligence outside. The rise and fall of the world, the responsibility of the husband, is the common wish of people with lofty ideals in all generations. ”
The students in the audience all nodded their heads and said yes, this loyalty, but the core idea of the literati and Confucianism, everything they read and think, must be closely related to this loyalty.
。。。。。。
The whole afternoon was spent under the teaching of Dr. Guanglu, but everyone listened with relish, and no one left the table without permission.
Li Bai has also gained a lot today, this Tang Dynasty, this country, give us glory and a place to live, let us be rich and healthy, this loyalty, more important than Mount Tai.
In fact, this is also the indoctrination of the literati of the Tang Dynasty, which was deliberately done, and children who have accepted these traditional concepts since childhood will definitely be loyal to this country when they grow up.
This is like faith, and like faith, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After the lecture, everyone was still unsatisfied.
"That's all for today, and before I leave, I'll tell you a piece of good news."
Doctor Guanglu looked at the people below and said.
"Three days later, there will be a literary examination in the private school academy, this literary examination is different from the previous Japanese literary examination, this literary examination will be conducted by me, and the top three will be selected and included in my door."
As soon as these words came out, the pot suddenly exploded below!
When the disciple of the second grade Guanglu doctor! That is a great honor, for many of the children present, their family is not noble, and they cannot inherit the title, that is to say, if they can't get ahead with their own skills, and they can't use their father's afterglow to make a marquis, they can only become commoners in the end.
But it is different to become a disciple of Guanglu Doctor, not to mention how much honor it is to be a disciple of a third-grade official, just that teaching, it is not an ordinary Confucian can give, and even, with this adult's ear and face, it is difficult to think of getting ahead, and besides, only one of these three disciples, if it is satisfactory and satisfies the Tang Emperor, it will be the Guanglu Doctor in the future! Such an honor is really expensive!
Li Bai's eyes widened, and a touch of surprise melted into his heart, if he obtained the top three positions, it would be of great benefit to himself, his mother, and the Li family.
Thinking of this, Li Bai clenched his fists!
The beginning of the new book is a difficult journey, and I hope you will overcome obstacles and cheer for the emperor together with me.
