Chapter 21 Teach us to be human beings
"Please cover your textbooks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info"Jiangming University, in the elective course of ancient Chinese literature, Professor Chen Ming took the lead in putting together his own textbooks and putting them on the table.
Perhaps it is the trend of all Chinese universities to pay more attention to the education of ancient literature in recent years, so although ancient Chinese literature is already an elective course, in order to attract students, the credits of this elective course will be half more than that of other elective courses.
But despite this, there are still not many students who take this course in Jiangming University, and now only half of the 250 seats in the lecture hall are seated, which is only equal to other popular elective courses, of course, there are also things like ancient Chinese literature, which are purely literary and historical, because they are originally boring, but the students think that the biggest reason is that Professor Chen Ming, who is in charge of this course, is a very rigid person. Although Professor Chen Ming does have real materials and is very knowledgeable in ancient Chinese literature, there is a place that students don't like, that is, not to mention how humorous and interesting his lectures are, after all, it is indeed a bit difficult to be vivid and humorous in ancient literature, but at least there must be a little interaction with students, right? Professor Chen Ming really took care of himself when he started the class, there was no interaction, at most he called the students up to answer the questions, but in this way, compared to the interaction, the students felt more like Professor Chen Ming thought that the students did not listen to the lecture and asked questions.
In private discussions, students said that the relationship between Professor Chen Ming and his students in class was simply the relationship between reading and listening.
Faced with this situation, Chen Ming himself of course realized that there was indeed a problem with his teaching method, after all, as an educator, there was no teacher who didn't want to be liked by students, but he couldn't help it, Chen Ming was originally the kind of person who didn't smile, and it was really difficult for him to change it all of a sudden.
"Huh?!" The students in the classroom looked at Professor Chen Ming in amazement.
Has the sun come out of the west? Or is Professor Chen Ming being possessed by some soul from another world today?!
"What I'm going to talk about next has nothing to do with what is in the book, it's purely my personal opinion."
"Strictly speaking, what I'm going to say next isn't a lecture, I prefer to call it a chat."
"Do you know the casual teacher serialized in "Spring"?" Maybe it's because the content of this class has been finished and there is still some time before the end of class, or maybe it's because Chen Ming was going to talk about it in class, or maybe it's just a pure idle conversation about the novel he read last week.
"Huh?!" The students in the professor exclaimed again,
The difficulty is that I opened it the wrong way? Professor Chen Ming actually watched "Spring", if he wanted to watch it, it should be "Meditation", right?! Or did Mr. Chen Ming actually want to interact with us and find a common topic to watch "Spring"? After all, Spring's readership is generally between the teens and thirties.
"Teachers also watch "Spring"?" Someone in the classroom immediately asked.
"Strictly speaking, my granddaughter is reading it, and after I happened to see the article above last week, I thought it was very good, so I learned about it."
"Teachers also like to follow the teacher's articles? It's "Journey to the West", right? A girl sitting in the front row with a few freckles on her face asked excitedly.
"Hmmm! Teacher Suixin's "Journey to the West" is indeed very exciting, and I read more than 20 chapters from the first chapter in one go. Maybe Chen Ming felt that the atmosphere in the classroom was really good now, and it felt great to chat with the students so easily, so Chen Ming smiled at the girl as he spoke.
It's not that Chen Ming is willing to have a dull atmosphere in class and an old-fashioned way of class, just because he originally left the impression of a student who is such a rigorous person who doesn't smile, so students won't take the initiative to chat with him in class, and it's even more impossible for Chen Ming to take the initiative to find a topic to talk about, so students think that the teacher doesn't like to talk and dare not talk, and the teacher doesn't know how to talk, which leads to the atmosphere in the classroom becoming more and more dull over time, and it has developed into a mode of reading and listening.
Therefore, Chen Ming is still very willing to make changes for students, but personality problems are not just changed, so Chen Ming has always been powerless in the face of the increasingly dull classroom atmosphere.
Now inadvertently through "Spring" and the topic opened by the casual teacher, the classroom atmosphere has always been harmonious, and Chen Ming is certainly happy to see it.
Therefore, Professor Chen Ming, who has taught at Jiangming University for many years, is now chatting with his classmates with a smile for the first time in class.
""Journey to the West" is good, but what I want to talk about today is "The Analects" published by Teacher Suixin behind the last two issues of "Spring". Chen Ming said with a smile on his face.
"Huh? The Analects? It's boring to say......"
Perhaps the classroom atmosphere created by Chen Ming today is really good, and the students have already relaxed.
At this time, some students actually refuted what Chen Ming was going to talk about next, you must know that Chen Ming had always been straight face in class before, and what he wanted to talk about was always "Master has the final say, you like to listen, don't listen to it".
The student who uttered the rebuttal was visibly aware that he had overrelaxed, and patted his head with remorse. After all, this ancient Chinese literature elective course is boring, but it does have a lot of credits, and how many people have come to resist Professor Chen Ming's hypnosis, just for this credit. Therefore, no one dared to offend Professor Chen, who was a very serious scholar at first glance, and no one wanted to say goodbye to that rich credit.
"This classmate probably doesn't know enough about the Analects, I guess you just took a cursory look at the style of the classical Chinese and 'retreated', right?"
Chen Ming still maintained a happy expression, without the slightest expression of anger that felt that his majesty had been violated after being refuted.
"Let's skip the preface to the previous issue of The Analects, and although it is also very exciting, I am not going to give you a history lesson, nor do I intend to talk about the literary attainments of the teacher Suixin embodied in it, so let's take a look at this latest issue of Xueyi."
"As for Teacher Suixin's attainments in ancient literature, I won't repeat it, let's look directly at the content of this "Xueerwen".
"So, has anyone read this "Learning and Chapter"? Can anyone tell me what it says? Chen Ming looked around at the students in the classroom, perhaps to make them less inhibited, and he kept a kind smile on his face from beginning to end.
"It seems that no one knows, so many people showed interest when they mentioned the Suixin teacher on "Spring" just now, and they thought you were all fans of the Suixin teacher." No one answered, Chen Ming was neither embarrassed nor angry, and made a small joke in order to liven up the atmosphere.
"The Analects is actually a quotation from Confucius and his students, in fact, as a professor of ancient Chinese literature, I was indeed attracted by the literary attainments of the teacher at first and the wonderful and perfect literary style, but as I studied deeply, I was attracted by the truth contained in this selected quotation of Confucius and his students."
"My favorite of them is the fourth chapter," Zeng Zi said, "I have three days and three provinces of my body." Seeking for others and not being faithful? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? ’。 ”
Translated into this, Zeng Tzu said, 'I have asked myself many times a day to do my best for others?' Are you honest and trustworthy in your dealings with friends? Did the teacher review the studies that I was taught? ’。 ”
"And that first chapter is just as exciting! Zi said: 'When you learn it, don't you also say it?' Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know, but they are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen? ’”
"Translated into this, Confucius said: 'Isn't it pleasant to study and practice from time to time?' Isn't it nice to have like-minded people coming from afar? People don't understand me, and I don't resent or get angry, isn't I also a virtuous gentleman? ’”
"Every sentence in the Analects is rich in a rich philosophy of life, and Teacher Suixin is actually conveying the philosophy of life to readers through the characters in the book!"
"In fact, the creation of the Analects by Teacher Suixin is actually teaching us the principles of life!"
