Chapter 14 Graduation Ceremony

In the ninth year of King Wucheng, in the early morning of the 18th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the auditorium of Xiangping College.

Today's Xiangping College is full of colorful flags, and every student is neatly dressed and arranged neatly according to the grade class, and comes to the auditorium of the college to participate in the first graduation ceremony held by the college.

As the largest building of Xiangping College, the auditorium was built with many factors in mind. According to Ji Kang's requirements, first, in addition to the podium and the vocal platforms on both sides, there are seats below the auditorium, and there are no other superfluous things, with the goal of accommodating 4,000 students; The second is to build an echo building, that is, the interior is built in a circular shape. There is no player now, and the people in the auditorium can hear the speech of the people below.

That's it, after the completion of this brick and wood structure auditorium, it was still very simple in Ji Kang's opinion. However, it has been considered by many construction craftsmen in Liaodi that this auditorium is the culmination of the architectural craftsmanship of this era. Although it is not as tall and majestic as the palace building, it is also self-contained.

Before the students reached the auditorium, they heard the music of "Descendants of the Dragon" coming from the auditorium from a distance.

Now this song is still mainly played on the flute, but it has been supplemented by many vocal teachers and students with chimes, chimes, drums, flutes, pianos, and bells of this era, forming a unique charm of this era.

In his previous life, Ji Kang didn't know much about the musical instruments of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and thought it was very simple. When I came to this world, I found that Chinese musical instruments were quite abundant in this era, and music was valued by people in this era, far exceeding Ji Kang's image.

That's why there is "The Book of Songs: The Female Day Chicken Crow": "It is advisable to drink alcohol and grow old with your son." Qin Se is in the palace, and it is good to be quiet. ”; Only then did "The Book of Poetry: Guan Ju": "Jagged wattle vegetables, pick them left and right." My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano. Jagged wattles, left and right hairy. My Fair Lady, bells and drums. ”;

There is also a "Book of Songs: Deer Song" said: "Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat wild apples." I have guests, drummers and sheng". And "etiquette collapse" refers to this era, and it is also a true portrayal of the current era.

Whenever Ji Kang saw this, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. I often think that the descendants in the previous life, including myself, did not inherit the excellent traditions of our own nation, but were blindly obsessed with everything in the West, and even said that "the moon in the West is rounder than the moon in China".

In his previous life, Ji Kang went to university in the late 90s, when the country's gross national product, that is, GDP, lagged far behind the small eastern countries next to China. At that time, a professor who taught "Political Economy" told the college students in class that it would take at least 100 years for China to catch up with the GDP of this eastern country.

At that time, the students, including Ji Kang, thought it was true, and under the indoctrination of these experts and professors, they all felt hopeless about their own country!

But what about the result! As a result, after Ji Kang graduated, it only took ten years for this country to catch up with the GDP of that eastern country; After another ten years, when Ji Kang left that world, the GDP of his great country was already three times that of that Dongwei country; In terms of real purchasing power, it would be six times or even more than that of the Eastern Wa country. This is still the great country of his previous life, which has been completed under various blockades from foreign countries in the decades since its founding.

After more than 3,000 students from Xiangping College walked into the auditorium, they sat in their fixed positions in the auditorium according to their grades, and quietly waited for the graduation ceremony to begin.

The first batch of 236 students who graduated this year, dressed in the uniform graduation clothes of the college, lined up neatly, stood on the right side of the podium in the auditorium, with solemn faces, waiting for the arrival of the most important moment in their lives.

These students were already fifteen or sixteen years old when they entered the school, and because of Liaodi's extreme thirst for talents, it was impossible for the college to teach in a step-by-step manner. Only this group of older students can be taught in a "cramming" way for their majors. After two and a half years, the students have reached the age of 18 or 9.

After the assessment of the college, it was deemed that the initial requirements of the college were met, and the 236 students were allowed to graduate. Most of the female cadets studied medicine, government affairs, and medical affairs, while most of the male cadets studied military command, and a small number studied government affairs, physical affairs, and medicine.

After discussing with Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Ju Xin, the process of the graduation ceremony was carried out according to concise, solemn and solemn standards, which were divided into three parts: speech, certificate award, and congratulatory singing, and the time did not exceed two hours. Graduating students must leave the college the next day and go to their assigned positions.

When Ji Kang, Zou Yan, Lu Zhonglian, and Ju Xin stepped onto the podium, nearly 3,000 teachers and students in the entire auditorium stood up according to the unique graduation etiquette stipulated by the college, and raised their five fingers with their right hands to the temples of their heads to salute!

Subsequently, Dean Zou Yan delivered a very brief graduation speech on the podium in the auditorium: "Today is an important day for my Xiangping College, and the 236 students of my college are about to graduate and go to their respective jobs. Let us extend our most solemn wishes to this group of graduating students! ”

There was thunderous applause from the podium.

And Lu Zhonglian, the executive dean, also spoke very briefly: "You are the first batch of students who graduated from my Xiangping College, and I hope that you will live up to your mission, put the knowledge you have learned into practice, and implement the spirit of our Xiangping College's "empty talk to mislead the country, and work hard to prosper the country". If any of you violate the spirit of my academy, corrupt the law, and prey on the common people, I will go to you personally, and don't forget the whip that I have beaten your palms and butts. ”

There was laughter from the podium.

On behalf of the Junhou Mansion, Ju Xin only said two sentences: "Graduated students, I am entrusted by the Junhou to welcome your arrival on behalf of the yamen, departments, and military departments of all counties and counties in Liaodi. ”

As the dean of all the students in the academy, Ji Kang did not speak, but just stood silently, preparing to present a unique gift to the graduating male and female academies, the "Childe Sword".

The "Childe Sword" awarded to the graduates of the academy is made of steel, the scabbard is made of pure copper, and the scabbard and body are engraved with words. The scabbard is engraved with "the first graduating students of Xiangping College", and the sword body is engraved with the words "Gongzi Sword".

After the speech, Liao Shan, a doctor from the Ministry of Rites who presided over the graduation ceremony of the college, shouted: "Play music and issue certificates." ”

In the solemn and elegant vocal music, the graduating students, in the order arranged in advance, went to the stage in turn to receive their many certificates and the "Gongzi Sword" issued by Ji Kang. Ju Xin, Lu Zhonglian, Zou Yan, and Ji Kang stood in a row in the order agreed in advance and presented certificates to these graduates.

Most of these 236 students were lonely wanderers, and after being taken in by Ji Kang, after being assessed, they thought that they had training value, so they came to Xiangping College for more than two years of study. has long regarded the college as his home, and he has deep feelings for Ji Kang, the dean.

Each graduating student was full of tears when he came to the stage, received the dispatch certificate in the hands of Ju Xin, and then saluted, and Ju Xin raised his hand to return the salute; In Lu Zhonglian's hand, he received the college's assessment certificate, saluted, and Lu Zhonglian raised his hand to return the salute; received the graduation certificate in Zou Yan's hand, saluted, and Zou Yan raised his hand to return the salute; Finally, in front of Ji Kang, after taking the "Childe Sword" from Ji Kang's hand, tears fell, and they all added: "University president, you will live up to your mission." Then saluted, and Ji Kang raised his hand to return the salute.

After the graduates have received their certificates and "Childe Sword", they will stand in line up.

Liao Shan, who presided over the ceremony, raised his spirits and said loudly: "Everyone stood up and sang the graduation song "The Great Wall of a Thousand Miles Will Never Fall". ”

Since the founding of the Yan State, for hundreds of years, in order to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, Donghu and other countries, the Great Wall of Yan has been built along the borders of the Xiongnu, Donghu and other countries. During the period of Ji Kang's great-grandfather Yan Zhaowang, General Qin Kai led the army to open up thousands of miles, and then the Great Wall was extended, that is, in Ji Kang's previous life, the Great Wall built by Yan at that time could still be seen in Korea and other countries.

Majestic, passionate, familiar vocal music from Ji Kang's previous life, played with the accompaniment of the instruments of this era. All the teachers and students of Xiangping College stood up, raised their hands in salute, and sang this song.

After a hundred years of sleep, the Chinese people have gradually woken up.

Open your eyes! Watch out! Which one wants the captives to confess themselves!

Because of cowering and forbearance, people are becoming more and more arrogant.

Speak up! Shout out! This is a place where the whole country is in the army.

Historically, robbers have invaded and eventually died.

……

Although the current Yan State is one of the seven powerhouses in the Central Plains, because of the conservative and degenerate of the ruling class, corruption and degeneration, and lack of progress, the national strength of the whole country is declining day by day, and it is arbitrarily bullied by neighboring countries.

As the most descendant royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, he was repeatedly humiliated in the face of other countries. How can it not be uncomfortable? How can it not be indignant? ……

The Great Wall will never fall, and the Liao River is surging;

The rivers and mountains are beautiful, and the mountains are stacked, so why is my country like being infected?

Rush out of the way and wave your hand! We must devote ourselves to the prosperity of the country.

Shall the land be trampled down again! Each one takes on a mission.

……

The Great Wall will never fall, and the Liao River is surging;

The rivers and mountains are beautiful, and the mountains are stacked, so why is my country like being infected?

Rush out of the way and wave your hand! We must devote ourselves to the prosperity of the country.

Shall the land be trampled down again! The sleeping lion has woken up.

……

For hundreds of years, the people of Yan have not forgotten the responsibility of Yan and the promise given to Zhou Tianzi by the ancestors of Yan State. For hundreds of years, the Great Wall of Yan, which is thousands of miles long, has always stood in the north of the Central Plains, resisting the invasion of foreign peoples in the Central Plains.

The Liao River is surging and flowing endlessly; The rivers and mountains are beautiful, stacked green peaks and mountains; The country of my Yan country is so beautiful! However, like the countries of the Central Plains, there are constant wars and chaos, and the people are struggling to survive.

A generation has a generation's responsibility, and a generation has a generation's responsibility. Let's put an end to this damn thing in our generation!

Ji Kang, like everyone else, stood on the stage and sang the song loudly with tears in his eyes.
