Chapter 13 The Teacher is Unique
Pei Min's words made more than 100 scribes whisper one after another.
Pei Xingben is well known.
The winter official Shangshu of the Wu Zetian Dynasty was also the prime minister, and he was a minister in the same hall as Di Renjie.
Although he is far less famous than Di Renjie, he has also done a lot of things for the world.
But who Liu Xing is, they really haven't heard of it.
Pei Min said with a smile: "Most people in Pei Gong should have heard a thing or two, so there is no need to talk about it in detail. Liu Xing, you don't have to guess too much, he is not a big person, he is just an ordinary teacher. When it comes to talent, almost all of you present are better than him. β
Pei Min's words made people confused again, and the discussion was louder, according to this, aren't everyone present a great Confucian, and this great Confucian is too cheap, right?
"Don't think that Confucianism is cheap, but Mr. Liu has no high talent, but not only in the memory, in the memory of my mother, in the memory of the longest person in the village, Mr. Liu was twenty years old in the county to teach and educate people, until a certain time when he left Youzhou, he was still lecturing in the school. Later, I was the top student in high school, took my mother to Chang'an, chatted with him, and specially told him that he was still there. I believe that at this moment, if he is in good health, he will definitely educate people in the school and guide people upward. β
"In my memory, Mr. Liu's family was from an average family and he was barely able to get by, but he never raised his tuition fees a little, and he always taught at a price that was accepted by all the poor people. Fifty years have been the same. His students have changed batch after batch, but he is the only one who has always adhered to his post. Just ten years ago, there was a filial student who had a good life, did not forget his teacher's kindness, and intended to take him to enjoy his old age in peace. But he refused, saying, 'He's gone, what about these kids who want to read?' "You should have heard of this student, it is the left prime minister Xu Guogong Liu Youqiu......"
This said Liu Youqiu, which instantly caused a sensation.
Liu Youqiu's name can be said to be known to everyone, and no one knows it.
Before his death, he was the first confidant of the current emperor Li Longji, and he planned the feat of expelling Empress Wei and the remnants of the Wu clan in the Tang Long coup d'Γ©tat, and supporting Tang Ruizong.
Liu Youqiu is not only resourceful and decisive, but also has a good literary style, which is admired by Shilin. didn't want his enlightenment teacher to be an unknown person.
"Not moved by fame and fortune, rich and noble can not be lewd, poor and lowly can not be moved, more than 50 years of leading people upward, can be described as a teacher of unparalleled morality. Such a character, who can compare? Among you who are doing it, which one of you can do it like Mr. Liu? β
"When evaluating a person, I think that it cannot be judged only by talent, but by what he has done and how he behaves! No matter how talented you are, such as Yang Xiong, what is the use? It's just one more rebel in the world! Mr. Liu's education, why can't he be named a great Confucian? β
Pei Min said excitedly, and the people in the cave were silent for a while, speechless.
The desire of scholars to pursue fame and fortune is heavier than that of martial artists.
It is said that there have been literati since ancient times, if it is really compared with this, where can they be compared with Liu Xing, a noble and unknown person?
Gan Xu was excited when he heard it.
He does not have Liu Xing's character of not pursuing fame and fortune, but once "education" arrives, he attaches great importance to it.
Pei Min's remarks won his heart.
Pei Min continued: "Sage Confucius has made countless achievements in his life, there are seventy-two sages in Confucius, and there are three thousand disciples. But his real disciples are the three thousand? He was the first great sage to propose that there is no class in teaching, the first sage to spread enlightenment, and the first teacher to make knowledge public. He distributed his knowledge to his 3,000 disciples, and his 3,000 disciples distributed culture to 3,000, 3,000 and 3,000, so that today's Confucianism is a grand event. β
"I think that talent and learning are important, but the importance of education should be even higher. If you take care of both, it's no better. People who privately think that they are talented can be described as famous Confucians, and their names are significant! But the real Confucian, like the Confucian sage, should have the merit of education. And not high up and out of reach! β
"Today is the Shilin gathering, so let's start with a lottery! To praise those unknown but enlightened Confucians! β
"Four degrees of spring breeze,
Several autumn rains washed away the chasm.
Black hair frost weaves the sun and the moon,
The ink pen writes the spring and autumn without words.
Silk spits out the spring and is not old,
Candle tears become gray and thicker in autumn.
Spring sowing peach and plum 3,000 nurseries,
Autumn is full of fruits. β
This is a poem "Ode to the Teacher" that Pei Min recited in later generations, and he has forgotten who the author is. The author collected the poems of Li Shangyin, Du Fu, Tao Xingzhi, and other poets and famous artists, and adapted a poem.
The poem may not be very clever, but it is very meaningful.
As soon as Pei Min's voice fell, it instantly triggered a roaring applause.
Especially Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, and Wang Wei, they all know Pei Min's next plans.
Today's Hexi is full of Hu customs, Western culture, but the culture of its own Tang Dynasty is relatively weak and unbalanced.
As the territory of the Tang Dynasty, its own culture is insufficient, so how can it influence and assimilate the surrounding areas?
The top priority of Hexi's education is also the next goal of Hexi's administration.
With this poem, coupled with today's words, the road to education in Hexi will be smooth.
A few people thought about Pei Min's opening remarks, and they couldn't speak, which means they can't speak, don't say it too well.
It can be seen from the reflection that almost everyone was conquered by Pei Min's words, and they all thought that they might not be able to become a celebrity in their lifetime, why not go to Confucianism, maybe they would teach a Liu Youqiu, that is, they would become famous.
Baume & Mercier gatherings are nothing more than drinking.
The comprehensive level of culture here in Hexi is not high, and the poems made are naturally uneven.
In contrast, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, Wang Zhilian, and Wang Han have the feeling of standing out from the crowd and are respected by most people.
Pei Min likes to hear about this.
Pei Min walks around here and there, which also reflects his pro-people side.
At this time, Wang Zhihuan pulled a person to Pei Min and said, "Pei Shuai, I will introduce you to a person who Fang Gang has just met." Gao Shi, Gao Dafu ......"
Pei Min originally thought that there was a Wang Han who thought it was worth the trip, but he didn't want to come to another Gao Shi.
Gao Shike is even better than Wang Han, and he is known as the "Four Poets of Biansai" together with Cen Shen, Wang Changling, and Wang Zhilian. His poems are vigorous and vigorous, and they are full of the spirit of the times that was unique to the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, what he said was not a literary achievement, but a military study.
Gao Shi was one of the few famous poets of the Tang Dynasty who was familiar with military strategy, and also served as the envoy of the Huainan Festival, leading the army to defeat Yongwangxuan.
Now his staff Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, and Wang Zhilian are mostly administrative talents, and the performance of military strategy is mediocre, only Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian have made some achievements in this area, and in general, the two are still good at administration.
If Gao Shi can enter his shogunate, he will make up for his shortcomings in this regard!
