When Zhou Liangcai agreed to accept the three brothers to enter, Liu Ximing was overjoyed, and immediately made an appointment with him to come to the school two days later.

When he didn't want to pass by the Zhang family's mansion, Zhang Yucheng's figure suddenly flashed in front of Liu Ximing's eyes, and he hurriedly pulled the third and fourth children to hide aside to observe, wondering why he came here.

From a distance, I saw Zhang Yucheng with a child at the door of Zhang's house, and after a few words with another man, he entered the courtyard. Liu Xixian saw that Liu Ximing was observing carefully, and said to him: "That person is Zhang Yucheng's son Zhang Mingde, and it is estimated that he also studied here. ”

Liu Ximing suddenly realized in his heart, this is the Zhang clan study, and of course his son also came here to study, as long as he didn't come to find trouble with him, but in the future, he really wanted to study with Zhang Mingde? What a bad luck!

In order to avoid further trouble, the three brothers were reluctant to stay any longer, although Liu Xi'an was still worried about the snacks in the township, so he had to hurry home, pouting and unhappy along the way.

When they arrived at home, Liu Chen heard that Zhou Liangcai had accepted all three of them, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and pulled the three brothers to kowtow in front of the ancestral tablet.

The next morning, everyone in the Liu family ran and exercised as usual, and after the end, Liu Xi ordered everyone to stay and stand, and instructed: "In a few days, the three of our brothers will go to the private school to study, Yongkai, Jingguo, Jingjing, Jingsi, you are the oldest, and you should take the rest of the people at home, and in the future, during the day, I will act according to my previous arrangement, polish my body and continue to insist on the training queue, and wait for me to get familiar with the situation of the township school, and then see if I can find time to arrange our family's affairs." ”

"Yu Yongkai is listed"

"Whoa"

Liu Ximing thought that he would not be there for a period of time in the future, so many people would definitely need a leader to take him, and continued to say loudly: "Half a month ago, I said that whoever learns fast and practices well in training will let him be the vice captain. ”

Liu Ximing shouted out the last sentence loudly.

"Oh, Captain"

Everyone immediately replied loudly with vigor, and at the same time looked at Yu Yongkai with envious eyes, now everyone's minds are relatively simple, although there is no material reward for serving as the vice captain, but after all, it represents Liu Ximing's trust, but when he was wandering on the street before, Yu Yongkai was everyone's backbone, and now he is performing well, of course everyone has nothing to say.

Liu Ximing nodded with satisfaction, after half a month of training, he had some results, and he had some sense of discipline.

In ancient times, "entrance ceremony", "coming-of-age ceremony", "wedding" and "funeral" were the most important "four major ceremonies" in life. Therefore, early in the morning of the admission day, Liu Ximing and the three brothers put on the long robes of their schoolchildren and rushed to Zhou Liangcai's place with various gifts, waiting for the entrance ceremony.

When everyone else in the school was almost there, Zhou Liang took them to the entrance of the school and stood still.

The first salute, the so-called "proper dress". Zhou Liangcai sorted out the clothes and square scarves for them, which means that they must be upright.

The second salutation is "Worship the Teacher". After entering the school, Zhou Liangcai sat at the table with the tablet of the Holy Master of Dacheng, and several of their newly enrolled children first bowed to the throne of Confucius, and then to Zhou Liangcai. After the teacher's approval, the teacher will be presented with six gifts, including celery, which means diligence and studiousness; lotus seeds, meaning painstaking education; Red beans, meaning red luck; Red dates, meaning early high school; Longan, meaning the completion of merit; Jerky meat means respecting teachers.

The third ritual is "wash your hands." After the apprenticeship ceremony, Liu Ximing and others should put their hands in the basin of water to "clean their hands" according to Zhou Liangcai's requirements, wash the front and back once, and then wipe them dry, which means to clean their hands and hearts, and concentrate on their future studies without distractions.

The fourth ceremony is the "opening ceremony". This is the last procedure in the opening ceremony, Zhou Liangcai holds a brush dipped in cinnabar, and points a red mole at the center of their eyebrows, called "cinnabar to open wisdom", because "mole" and "wisdom" are homophonic, meaning to open wisdom.

After the four ceremonies were completed, Zhou Liangcai solemnly said to a few of them: "Young man, you are interested in learning, enter the door, you have to hear the holy words, you are eager to learn, and you will not stop at all times!" ”

This is the official completion of the entrance ceremony, and you can enter the school. As for the entrance fee, it is also called the fee, which is paid long before the salute. Since Liu Ximing and the three of them are not the children of the Zhang family, each person has to pay five taels of silver a year, and three people are fifteen taels of silver.

At this time, there were already more than 30 children and teenagers sitting in the school, and Zhou Liangcai introduced a few of them to the new school, and then asked them to sit down in the back and start the class.

Liu Ximing pulled his two younger brothers back, and most of the teenagers in front of the class were dressed gorgeously, only looking at them with slanted eyes. When he walked to the end, a plainly dressed young man smiled at Liu Ximing and the three of them, and Liu Ximing also smiled and nodded in return, seeing that there were still a few vacant seats beside him, he pulled his younger brother to sit down next to him.

Maybe it was because the teacher was in the classroom, although these teenagers were a little excited to see the new classmates, they didn't dare to whisper, so they had to look back from time to time, and Liu Ximing really saw that Zhang Yucheng's son Zhang Mingde was also among them.

In these years, there was no such thing as class division in private schools, and children of all ages were mixed together in class, so Zhou Liangcai generally taught Mongolian studies such as thousand-character literature in the morning, and then taught the Four Books and Five Classics in the afternoon, which was just enough to let the children who had not yet been enlightened listen to the teachings of the sages, so that the enlightened ones could revisit the old and learn the new.

However, since Confucius, China has practiced teaching students according to their aptitude, so although the lectures are taught in large classes, the teacher still has to test each student individually and then give lectures according to the students' qualifications.

Liu Ximing agrees with this teaching method, so that he may be able to spend only half a day in school and the rest of the time to run the family team, but he must first gain the trust of the teacher.

As Zhou Liangcai began to attend class, there was a burst of "Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate." The sun and the moon are shining, and the sound of reading is listed.

Listening to Zhou Liangcai taking class on stage, after a while, Liu Ximing's thoughts flew unconsciously. To tell the truth, in modern times, he has heard more than once that the Jews are the most knowledge-respecting people in the world, and now that I think about it, it's bullshit, is there anyone in the world who respects knowledge and loves learning more than the Chinese nation? Confucius is the first person in the history of the world to spread knowledge on a large scale, but some people in modern times have a soft backbone and can't help it, and they forget all the teachings of their ancestors, and turn their heads to Tian other people's butts.

For the physiological and psychological characteristics of children, Mongolian learning is mainly carried out in the order of literacy, reading, recitation and comprehension, first allowing children to form self-awareness, and then constantly using new stimuli to strengthen this cognition, so as to form a stable cognitive level.

This educational method has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents and made great contributions to the consolidation and spread of Chinese civilization, of course, it cannot be denied that it has brought about negative effects such as suppressing the sense of innovation. But there is no such thing as a good thing in this world once and for all, and every civilization that wants to continue to inherit needs to be constantly revised and improved from generation to generation, instead of being like some people, who will only rudely deny themselves, or even give up completely, and then turn to the arms of others!

As the so-called "to nurture righteousness and to cultivate virtue through deeds", this is the original saying in the I Ching, and the ancestors of the Chinese have already made these truths clear thousands of years ago, and Liu Ximing thought about it for a while.
