Section 22 Lecture on Martial Arts Academy
Since I have been working on the construction site recently, I don't have any time code, so Liu Ding apologizes to all book friends for the suspension of the previous half a month. In addition, Liu Ding wanted to find a book friend to help him be the administrator of the book review area. I don't know which book friend is willing to help.
————————————
Sun Quan originally thought that Lu Su would build a guest in the Qi Hou Mansion, so he couldn't help but ask, "Talking about martial arts?" The Pavilion of the Scriptures? Why these two places? ”
"Gongzi doesn't know that the martial arts hall is the place where the Marquis of Qi accumulates scholars, and it has now accepted more than 800 people from all over the world. If Gongzi wants to understand Qi Fa, Jiangwutang is the best place to go. Lu Su said with a smile.
"More than 800 people!" Sun Quan smacked his tongue and said, "Now I'm afraid that Taixue doesn't have this scale." ”
"The world is in chaos, the Han family is weak, and the official school has been abandoned for many years, so how can you say that you have too much to learn." Lu Su shook his head with a wry smile, and then sighed in an envious tone, "Martial Arts Hall is the Taixue of the four states of Xu, Qing, Hebei, and You. ”
In fact, compared with the scale of 30,000 people at the peak of Taixue in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scale of 800 students in the lecture hall is really pitiful. But as Lu Su said, now is a troubled time, and Taixue, which was originally the academic authority of the world, has long been destroyed in the flames of war. And now the official school that has become a scale in the Central Plains is only about Wutang.
Of course, when the martial arts hall was first built, it did not attract the attention of Shilin. After all, in these years, many wealthy families will keep some children in the mansion in order to train generals and staff for their families. However, when Cai Ji tested the arithmetic and ink studies of the professors of Jiangwutang in the imperial examination for the selection of officials, Jiangwutang seemed to have changed from private learning to official learning in the eyes of Shilin.
As the saying goes, "learn literature and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family", when a school or an institution is linked to power, it will naturally become an academic authority. In Qing and Xu Erzhou, Cai Ji was the actual ruler, and the lecture martial arts hall that reflected Cai Ji's preference was the authority of Shilin in Qing and Xu Erzhou, and it was "official learning". Therefore, after the end of the last imperial examination, some of the scholars who failed to make the list chose to devote themselves to the lecture hall to learn the miscellaneous studies that Qi Hou valued. Among these scholars who stayed to study, there were not only people from poor families, but also children of the world. Although there are strengths and weaknesses in each level, it is more than enough to enlighten people's literacy. So Cai Ji announced that he could teach the boys and girls in the church in addition to his studies, and he would receive 500 yuan a month. But the children of the Shi clan obviously don't look down on this little money, and are willing to spend more time learning from Xu Yue or making friends with celebrities. Therefore, in the end, the applicants were all students from poor backgrounds. Cai Ji didn't mind this, after all, Cao Cao was fighting with Yuan Shao in Guandu at that time. Seeing the right time to send troops to attack Yuan was what she was concerned about at that time. However, although Cai Ji did not return to Donglai after fighting abroad for more than a year, the prestige of the martial arts hall still increased day by day with the successive victories of the Qi army. By the time Cai Ji returned triumphantly, the number of scholars who came to study in the martial arts hall had increased from the initial dozens to more than 800.
At this moment, seeing that Lu Su admired the martial arts hall, Sun Quan added a little admiration to Cai Ji. It should be known that in troubled times, running a school not only needs to have a stable rear, but also has a certain amount of financial resources to support. The princes who can do these two things must be strong. At least in Sun Quan's opinion, his elder brother Sun Ce will not have spare money to raise a soldier at this time.
Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back the curious Sun Quan in his heart, and settled the account without saying a word. Took Lu Su's hand and said, "It's better to see than to hear, since Zijing is so optimistic about the martial arts hall and the Zunjing Pavilion, it is better for us to go and see what is going on." ”
Sun Quan didn't know at this time, and at the same time that he rushed to the lecture hall with great interest, Cai Ji was discussing the future of the lecture hall with Guo Jia, Cui Yan, Xu Yue, Tian Feng, and Hua Tuo in the mansion.
"Build a martial arts academy?"
"Yes. Gu planned to build another academy at the foot of Laishan Mountain outside the city for the 800 scholars in the lecture hall, so that they could teach separately. Cai Ji looked around at Cui Yan and the others present. I said what I thought. In fact, Cai Ji had already expanded the lecture hall once before the Northern Expedition. At that time, however, the main aim was to expand the number of students in literacy. It wasn't until he returned to Longkou this time and saw the more than 800 scholars who had come to study that Cai Ji realized that the time had come. It was time to build a higher education institution in Donglae to further her "Taoism".
As soon as everyone heard that Cai Ji had the intention to expand the scale of the martial arts hall, they were immediately interested. But seeing Cui Yan caressing his beard, he asked, "I don't know how the Lord plans to divide the family to teach?" ”
"Lone should be divided into five schools of Confucianism, Taoism, law, medicine, and military in the martial arts academy. Among them, Confucianism combines the six arts of the gentleman, and is divided into four books, five classics, arithmetic, etiquette, calendar, and imperial archery. Those who have completed the three disciplines of the Four Books, the Calendar, and Arithmetic are students, and those who have completed the six disciplines of Confucianism are scribes. All students who are admitted to the school must first obtain the qualification of student before they can choose to join the four schools of Taoism, law, medicine and soldiers. Cai Ji said as he took out a roll of drawings from his sleeve and unfolded it in front of everyone.
The drawings depict the Jiangwu Academy designed by Cai Ji according to the pattern of her later alma mater. But Cui Yan and others don't seem to be very interested in such cross-era plans. Tian Feng didn't even look at the drawings before he asked Cai Ji directly, "Which four books?" The Pentateuch? ”
"The four books are "Analects", "Mencius", "The Mean", and "University", and the five classics are "I Ching", "Shangshu", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", and "Spring and Autumn". Cai Ji replied.
In fact, the official school of the Han Dynasty already had five classics of poetry, calligraphy, rites, Yi, and Spring and Autumn. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once established a doctor of the Five Classics, thus establishing the noble status of Confucian classics. The Four Books were summarized and advocated by the Confucian masters of the later Song Dynasty, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, and Zhu Xi. Among them, "The Mean" and "University" are two of the "Book of Rites". Ercheng believes that "University" is an important book for Confucius to teach "the gate of virtue for beginners", which has been compiled into a document by Confucius's students; "The Mean" is a book of "Confucius teaches the mind". It was Confucius's grandson who thought "the book of the son of the pen to teach Mencius". These two books, together with the Analects and Mencius, express the basic ideological system of Confucianism.
Out of respect for Confucianism and the appeasement of Confucianism, Cai Ji included the Four Books in his preparatory subjects, along with arithmetic and the calendar involving astronomy and geography. At the same time, this setting also invisibly positions Confucianism as a preparatory education, which has the potential to break the posture of exclusive respect for Confucianism since the Han Dynasty. Of course, everyone present is a famous person of this era, and after listening to this series of book titles, there is no need for Cai Ji to explain. I already understood her intentions.
I saw Cui Yan, Tian Feng, and Hua Tuo all fall into deep thought. Guo Jia sat silently on the sidelines. However, Xu Yue, who is a master of mathematics and astronomy, pondered for a moment and said, "Confucianism, Taoism, law, medicine, and military are all broad and profound. Ordinary students are afraid that it will be difficult to understand a family throughout their lives. I don't know how the students calculate the teacher in the martial arts academy? ”
The reason why Xu Yue asked such a question was because the current assessment method of the martial arts hall for students was different from ordinary official and private schools. Ordinary official and private schools are randomly assessed by the master who teaches after learning the classics. The lecture hall has a unified test paper, a unified answer, and a number of lines to determine whether the student passes the teacher. Although this model is convenient for enlightenment and literacy. But it is not suitable for learning. As an old pedant, Xu Yue naturally didn't want the Lecture Martial Arts Academy to continue the assessment method of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall.
Regarding the question raised by Xu Yue, Cai Ji did not think much about it in private. It is undeniable that Cai Ji's knowledge alone cannot support a higher education institution, let alone achieve education standardization like later generations. So after thinking about it again, Cai Ji finally decided to continue the traditional master-apprentice teaching model. So she immediately confessed to Xu Yue, "I think I am a person who has entered the martial arts academy." There is no limit to the age of admission and the number of years of study, and whether a student is a teacher or not is determined by the assessment of the instructor. Does Mr. Xu think it's feasible? ”
When Xu Yue heard Cai Ji say this, he no longer had any worries, and said again and again, "Good, good." ”
However, just as Xu Yue expressed his satisfaction, Cui Yan raised his head and asked Cai Ji in a deep voice. "Then what does the Lord think the academy instructor should use to evaluate the students?"
"Apply what you've learned." Cai Ji said without thinking.
"Applying what you've learned?" Cui Yan and the others focused their attention on Cai Ji.
Cai Jiping looked at everyone and nodded, "Yes." Loneliness should be one with labor, and learning should be one with livelihood. This is the original intention of Lone to establish the lecture hall, and it is also Lone's expectation for the college. ”
Indeed, the reason why Cai Ji named the new academy "academy" instead of the more down-to-earth "academy" is because in later generations, the word "academy" also had an extended meaning in Europe, that is, "guild". It is said that the academies of medieval Europe originated from the investment of guilds. The College will receive funding from the Guild for research and scholarship, and will also provide a variety of professionals for the Guild. After generation after generation of accumulation. Craftsmen such as painters, stonemasons, and blacksmiths gradually rose to become artists, architects, and engineers. And this concept of the integration of education and career, and the integration of learning and livelihood, is exactly what ancient Chinese higher education lacked.
Of course, Cai Ji also knows that the word academy alone cannot change some of people's inherent prejudices. But if you don't try. And how can there be a breakthrough. For example, the combination of soldiers and Mohists can develop physics, architecture, machinery and other disciplines, and the combination of doctors and Mohists can derive chemistry, and so on.
Fortunately, at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was an era when a person's mind changed, although Cui Yan, Xu Yue and others were all Confucians, but no one jumped up to accuse Cai Ji of deviant. Hua Tuo applauded even more, "Young people should apply what they have learned when they study!"
However, the reaction of the crowd certainly gave Cai Ji a certain encouragement, but there was one person who did not speak from beginning to end. That person is Guo Jia. Guo Jia is not only Cai Ji's chief mastermind, but also the earliest teacher of the martial arts hall, and his silence makes Cai Ji mind a little. So Cai Ji then asked Guo Jia, "I don't know what Mr. Fengxiao has to say about the martial arts academy?" ”
In the face of Cai Ji's inquiry, Guo Jia calmly raised his long sleeves and said with his hand. "Jia thinks that the establishment of the Martial Arts Academy should be postponed."
Cai Ji, who didn't expect Guo Jia to oppose the establishment of the academy, hurriedly asked, "Why did Mr. Fengxiao say this?" ”
"Ruojia didn't guess wrong, the Lord built a martial arts academy and placed a master, aiming to raise people in the world. However, how can Donglaishan inherit the Lord's ambition? Guo Jia asked Cai Ji earnestly.
Guo Jia's question made Cai Ji fall into deep thought. At the same time, it also made Tian Feng and Cui Yan on the side shine. Although Longkou has developed from a remote town to the largest port in the north under Cai Ji's management for more than six years, in the eyes of Tian Feng, Cui Yan and others, no matter how prosperous Longkou is, it is still just a coastal border city that lacks political influence. If Cai Ji wanted to strengthen his control over the four prefectures of Xu, Qing, Hebei, and You, especially the area north of the Yellow River, he needed to move the shogunate to a city commensurate with his status. The shogunate mentioned here is not the shogun of the later generations of Japanese people, but the shogunate of the general. In ancient China, the supreme command organ set up by the generals to go out on the expedition was set up by a tent, so people called the general's office "shogunate". Originally, the shogunate was established only temporarily. However, in the Han Dynasty, most of the relatives served as generals and chariot generals, and they all set up shogunates, summoned celebrity bachelors, and participated in political affairs. "Kaifu" has become the honorary title of a product. Now that Cai Ji has been named a general, he is naturally qualified to open the mansion. And looking at the place where she is now governed, the three cities of Zilin, Jicheng, and Plains are the most suitable for the shogunate.
Zilin is not only the capital of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but also one of the five kings of the Han Dynasty (Nanyang, Luoyang, Linzi, Handan, Chengdu). It is said that until the early Western Han Dynasty, the scale of Linzi was greater than that of Chang'an, the national capital. Jicheng was the capital of Yan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The national strength of Yan has always been inferior to that of Qi, and the scale of Jicheng is naturally not comparable to Zilin. But Jicheng was Cai Ji's most influential city north of the Yellow River. If Cai Jiruo moved the shogunate to Jicheng, he could not only strengthen the control of the two prefectures of Ji and You, but also effectively deter the alien races in the border areas. Of course, Tian Feng and others did not know that Jicheng was the imperial capital of the Five Dynasties in Beijing, which had a very special significance to Cai Ji. Therefore, Tian Feng and Cui Yan are more optimistic about the current county governance plain in Qingzhou. Pingyuan City is also located in the north of the Yellow River, adjacent to Qinghai and Hebei Prefectures, and closer to the Central Plains than Jicheng, which is an ideal place for Tian Feng, Cui Yan and others to compete in the Central Plains.
However, Tian Feng and Cui Yan were both strategists of the Jizhou department, and they had just arrived in Cai Ji's camp, and for the sake of avoiding suspicion, neither of them mentioned the matter of moving the shogunate to Cai Ji. However, at this time, Guo Jia, who was the mastermind, had already made a start, and Tian Feng naturally seized the opportunity to say to Cai Ji, "Feng Xiao's words are reasonable. Longkou City is too remote to become a big weapon. Please also ask the lord to choose another large city to settle the shogunate. ”
Cai Ji had long expected that after she defeated Yuan Shao, someone would mention moving to the shogunate. It's just that Longkou is Cai Ji's brainchild after all, not to mention emotional concern, the wealth brought by a Longkou port alone is enough to make it difficult for her to give up. On the other hand, Cai Ji also knows that in order to compete in the world, she will one day go out of Longkou City. So in the face of Tian Feng's advances, Cai Ji took the opportunity to ask, "Where does Mr. think it is suitable to place the shogunate?" ”
After exchanging glances with Cui Yan, Tian Feng directly said what he thought was the best choice, "Feng thinks Plains City is the most suitable. ”
Cui Yan saw that Tian Feng was too direct, and hurriedly followed to say, "Zilin is also suitable for the shogunate because of its large scale. ”
Cai Ji frowned slightly when he heard Tian Feng and Cui Yan's words, and then turned around and asked Guo Jia again, "Where does Mr. Fengxiao think it is suitable?" ”
Guo Jia quietly hugged his fists and said, "Jicheng." ”
"Plains, Zilin, Jicheng ......" Cai Ji silently recited the three cities, and then waved his hand, "The matter of relocating the shogunate is a matter of great importance, and it needs to be considered in the long run. (To be continued.) lwxs)
