Chapter 6 Language, Numbers, and Forms

Fang Nan: "I want to teach the children in the village to read and write. ”

Zhai Lao: "Trapped in the mountains, what's the use of reading and literacy?" ”

Fang Nan: "Before the Ming Dynasty, there were rich Song Dynasty, prosperous Tang Dynasty, and strong Han, no matter how strong the Ming Dynasty was, there was also a day of destruction, and the children of the village could go out of the mountains and make contributions." ”

After thinking for a long time, the village elders said: "Yes." ”

In the dialogue between Fang Nan and the village elders, Fang Nan taught the children in the village to read and write, but there were more words in it, such as letting the village elders know that there were Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, and Han Dynasty before the Ming Dynasty.

In the outside world, the old farmers are just ordinary old farmers, but the old farmers also have their own wisdom.

The common people all know that "rebellion is a major crime of killing the head", and they also know that reading and writing is the best way to get ahead, but Qingshan Village is located in the deep mountains, and the villagers have no household registration and cannot integrate into the Ming Dynasty, so it doesn't matter if they are literate or not.

The elders of the village did not have much feeling about the prosperity and survival of the Ming Dynasty, but they also had the desire of future generations to be able to make contributions and glorify their ancestors.

Although it is not of much use to read and write now, these things can be passed down from generation to generation, and maybe one day in the future, their children and grandchildren will be able to use them.

Through the mouths of several village elders, soon, the owner of the village, Fang Nan, wanted to teach the children in the village to read and write.

The adults don't care about it, their children spend the rest of their time playing around except for helping out with some farm work, and it's not bad to find something to do for them.

For his first batch of students, Fang Nan also has a little requirement, the age of the students is between twelve and fifteen years old, both male and female.

The school-age teenagers in the village, some are willing to follow Fang Nan to read and write, and some are unwilling, Fang Nan is ready to accept all school-age teenagers as students, so he asked Hu Xiaoya, Hu Zhuang and a few friends to mobilize other teenagers.

"Follow Fang Nan to read and write, Fang Nan will tell you interesting stories."

"Let's read and write together, it's very fun."

Under the mobilization of Hu Xiaoya, Hu Zhuang and others, most of the school-age teenagers expressed their willingness to follow Fang Nan to read and write, and in the end, there were only a few stubborn boys left, and they saw that other friends had to follow Fang Nan's teacher to read and write, and only themselves were left, very lonely, so they had to keep up with the footsteps of their friends.

In the end, Fang Nan harvested the first batch of forty-two students, twenty-two boys and twenty girls, including Hu Xiaoya.

Hu Xiaoya also wants to follow Fang Nan to read and write, but Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya have decided to kiss the baby early, and there is nothing to regret, if Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya set the status of teachers and students, it doesn't matter in the mountains, but after going to the outside world, this will become a stain.

Fang Nan naturally wants to avoid this, Hu Xiaoya also has to read and write with forty-two other students, but Hu Xiaoya's identity is not a student, but a teacher's assistant, referred to as a teaching assistant, can also be called a "teacher", and at other times Fang Nan will also teach Hu Xiaoya some knowledge alone.

The students have been put away, the schoolwork has not officially started, there is no paper, ink, pen and inkstone in Qingshanzhai, although there is paper and pen in Fang Nan's portable space, but it cannot be provided for so many students, so he needs to think of another idea.

The method is very simple, Fang Nan can use chalk to write on the blackboard for teaching, students can use the paved sand as paper, small wooden sticks as pens, and small wooden sticks to write on the sand.

Sand and small sticks are everywhere, and the blackboard can be easily found by simply finding an old door panel and painting it black, and the main ingredient of chalk is limestone.

When Fang Nan took the students to prepare teaching tools and writing tools, he was also thinking about how to teach the students, and when the tools were almost ready, Fang Nan also thought about the content of the class.

The coursework is divided into three subjects, namely Chinese, Mathematics and Physical Education.

As an extraordinary person, Fang Nan can clearly remember the knowledge he has learned, but Fang Nan does not plan to directly teach students modern textbooks, but first teaches children's enlightenment books in this era, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text".

Fang Nan's memory of the "Three Character Classic" is the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China famous scholar Mr. Zhang Taiyan (word Binglin) of the "Three Character Classic" update, in fact, the "Three Character Classic" has a number of different years of versions, such as the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty 1068 characters, the Ming Dynasty 1092 characters, the late Ming Dynasty 1122 characters.

Fang Nan didn't let the students know the idea of "future history", so he revised the "Three Character Classic" in his memory, which was close to the version used by the Ming Dynasty people in the outside world.

The content of the Chinese textbook is relatively simple, but Fang Nan thinks more about the two questions of "teaching traditional or simplified characters" and "whether to learn Chinese pinyin".

There is no doubt that simplified Chinese characters plus Hanyu Pinyin can make it easier for students to read and write, but in this era, readers are learning traditional Chinese characters, and simplified Chinese characters are simplified from traditional Chinese characters, but it is very difficult for traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters to communicate with each other.

Fang Nan thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to use simplified characters and Hanyu Pinyin, on the one hand, simplified characters and Hanyu Pinyin are familiar to Fang Nan, traditional characters Fang Nan can read and write, but not as proficient as simplified characters, on the other hand, the use of simplified characters and Hanyu Pinyin can make people master the text faster.

Now Fang Nan is only teaching forty-three people to read and write, and more people will be taught to read and write in the future, and even Fang Nan's students will teach others to read and write, using simplified Chinese characters and Hanyu Pinyin, others will learn faster and save time.

Mathematics is also an arithmetic class, which teaches students to count, as well as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations, and will improve the knowledge level of mathematics class in the future.

Physical education is not a class to learn knowledge, but physical education is also very important, and there are two main contents of physical education class, one is to exercise the body, and the other is "training".

Now Fang Nan can completely describe himself on paper, the theoretical knowledge is very rich, but the practical experience is zero, if you want to fight the world, you must have a strong army, a peasant army can only crush the enemy through the tactics of crowds, this is what Fang Nan does not want, what Fang Nan wants is a strong army that can fight against many times the enemy.

The idea was good, but the actual experience was not, so Fang Nan planned to experiment with his students first.

Chinese class, mathematics class, physical education class, three subjects one session a day, each class half an hour (60 minutes), 10 minutes between classes, basically half a morning or half an afternoon a little more time.
