It's back to school!

These three words are a great joy for parents in later generations, and for students it is like an apocalyptic disaster, so did the ancients have a school opening syndrome?

The answer is that I don't know, after all, ants are not traversers, so they can only rummage through historical documents to find clues from the classics.

I searched for a lot, but I only found the ancients, and I didn't find a single complaining about the poems of learning, studiousness, and persuasion.

So after thinking about it, the most fundamental reason why later generations of students hate going to school is that it is too easy to get it!

If it is too easy to obtain, no one should cherish it, and coupled with the spread of the theory of the uselessness of reading that prevailed in later generations, many students and even parents did not pay much attention to it.

Why is this the way it is?

After thinking about it, I think it has changed because of the changes in the environment of the times!

In ancient times, reading was a very important event, "enrollment", "adulthood", "funeral", "wedding", the four major rites of life, from the time of the Han Dynasty.

But in later generations, there is still a point of "funeral", as for "wedding", compared with its sesame flowering divorce rate, "full moon ceremony" is more important.

The ancients were still learning, and they knew from Che Yin, who was illuminating the book, and Sun Kang, who was reading in Yingxue, so reading was one of the most important events in the lives of the ancients.

This is from the heart, which is called "active learning".

There is also "passive learning" from the brain, what are the textbooks that readers learned in ancient times? "Poems", "Books", "Rites" and other classics, but all books are inseparable from Confucianism

The Way of Confucius and Mencius.

In ancient times, scholars and doctors all read the books of sages, and they paid attention to the core culture of "loyalty to the monarch for the country", "shame for not learning" and "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

Such a cultural education will inevitably give birth to scholars who are loyal to "going to school".

It's like being an official and a wealthy businessman in later generations, if someone tells you that you can become an official and have a lot of money after a few years of study, are you still tired of studying and going to school?

In a pure gentleman's studious country, no one will waste an opportunity to change their own destiny, so no one will have negative feelings about going to school, because they understand that the current hardships of studying will be exchanged for a lifetime of glory and wealth.

So is there a problem with the dog shoveling snow and sprinkling the house at Luyuan Academy early in the morning? No!

"I said petty official, if the dean doesn't agree, it's useless for you to shovel a layer of land! It's better to go back as soon as possible! ”

Jin Mugen, an old fellow wrapped in a sheepskin coat, squatted on the ground and was as annoying as a piece of stinky shit, so the dog squinted at him and continued to work.

"Hey, I said junior official, what kind of expression do you have, is the dean disagreeing, and it's not that my old Jin doesn't agree, why are you complaining about me?"

"I said Lao Jin, brother, what should I do to you?"

The dog threw the shovel on the ground with a shake of his hand, crossed his waist and pointed at his nose fiercely and asked.

"Naturally, it's not thin, what, it's not good, well, it's good!"

Jin Mugen didn't know what bitter water the dog was going to pour out next, so he didn't dare to answer for a while.

"Humph! It's really a meat steamed bun fed to the white-eyed wolf, Lao Jin, Lao Jin, you pat your chest and say, how many 'reluctant things' did my dog do for you and Xiang's sister-in-law' You actually treat me like this, you wait, I will find Xiang's sister-in-law in a while and say it, and shake out all the things about you going to the half-closed door to drink flower wine. ”

Ancient women were also jealous, don't look at the low social status of people at the time, but jealousy is no worse than the women of later generations, people will write poems to scold you, "what alone in the empty boudoir, looking forward to the white-eyed wolf", and then cause many relatives and friends to condemn you, this is a cultured woman to do, as for the village women, generally refer to Sang scolded Huai and even to block the courtyard door of the "entertainer", which remains unchanged from later generations.

There are also some short-tempered and tough personalities who will directly slap you with a big slap, Jin Mugen has suffered this kind of pain, so he is afraid of Xiang's sister-in-law, after all, the two have not yet married, and there will be no chance to attract the impression of evil plunder.

"Oh dog! What are you doing here? Jin Mugen grabbed the menacing dog and said with a low smile: "It's the dean who feels sorry for the silver and is unwilling to build a library, and it's not that I'm unwilling, so what do you do if you lose your temper at me." ”

The dog glanced at him and spat fiercely: "Jin Mugen, you are stupid to me, obviously I said that he is interested, and your sentence 'It's going to rain' made him dispel his thoughts, do you think you don't know what you mean?" ”

Jin Mugen explained with an embarrassed face: "Dog, this is really a helpless move, you see that it will be spring soon, the roofs of many houses in our academy are leaked, and a few rooms have collapsed a few holes in the winter by snow, how can people still live if they are not repaired!" ”

The dog glanced at him and snorted coldly: "It's time to fix it, you let him fix it, what's the conflict with building a library building?" ”

Speaking of this, Jin Mugen sighed, let go of the dog's arm, and squatted down silently: "Xiao Langjun, I, Jin Mugen, naturally don't want to destroy your good deeds, but the truth is that this library building is not so simple to build, not to mention anything else, just compare it to half of the library in Longzhou County Academy, an ordinary book of poetry is 300 yuan, and you have to hire someone to transcribe the current examination in the current Wen Ce question, as well as the previous exam question collection, at least more than 100 taels of silver!" ”

As in later generations, what is the most expensive book? The answer is study materials and various exercise books, which are updated and changed every year.

"I said, Jin Mugen, you are still poor to me? I don't know how much money the college earned last year? ”

This old guy really has a good performance, which almost made the dog believe it, but fortunately, the flat money bag in his arms reminded him.

"Brother Zhao, I haven't finished talking yet, you listen to me continue!"

The dog said, "Come and say, I see what reason you have." ”

Jin Mugen choked and sighed: "At the end of last year, after giving you dividends, the academy had less than three hundred taels left, and the money was enough, but then the dean went to the general judgment hall, and when he came back, there was nothing, and I won't tell you, we only cut two catties of meat for the New Year!" ”

Dogs: ......

I believe you are a ghost, bad old man, look at your sheepskin coat, a new water, you tell me there is no money?

"Brother Jin, although I'm only thirteen years old, it's still not good for you to fool me with these words!"

Jin Mugen looked at the dog and sneered: "Okay, okay, brother, I'll be honest with you, the academy couldn't open the pot before, and borrowed the silver from Su Tong's judgment, as the saying goes, the debt is not more than a year, so the dean took the money as a debt." ”

When he first came to the academy, the dog knew it completely, so he hesitated: "All of them are returned?" ”

Jin Mugen nodded.

"Debt-struck?"

Jin Mugen shook his head.

"How much is missing?"

Jin Mugen compared it to five.

"Alright! There are still five hundred taels, and there is still hope for this year's hard work to be completed. ”

The dog waved his hand at Hatche, left him alone, and walked out of the academy with his hands behind his back.

Since there is no hope of building a library, there is no need to shovel the dead grass on the ground, and besides, the class will officially start tomorrow, so it is better to go back early and prepare for the preparation.

Seeing that the dog was leaving, Jin Mugen grabbed him and said, "Brother Zhao, don't go!" You see, I've told you everything, and you don't have an idea? ”

Idea?

The dog glanced at him, it's not my academy, what does it matter to me what you owe it.

"Brother Jin, you are busy going by yourself, I will leave first, and I have to rush to pick up Wang Hou and the others."

So the dog threw off him and hurriedly walked out, out of the door, then ran to the north city gate, along the way to see a lot of lively, and so on to the city gate time is also around noon, the stomach is hungry, but after a while Wang Hou two come, must go to eat, thinking of this, the dog patted the belly, told it to endure for a while.

This forbearance, when the time came, Wang Hou and the two of them came, holding their gurgling stomachs, and the dog stepped forward to meet them.

"Roar, dog! It's been a long time since I saw you, I miss you so much for my brother! Here, this half roast goose is for you! Wang Hou, who was riding on the back of a tall horse, jumped off the horse as soon as he turned over, clapped his hands casually, called the Zhaiding who followed behind, took out a roast goose wrapped in oiled paper from the suitcase and handed it over.

On the other hand, Hua Shishi, a young man who was originally very honest and loyal, has lost his original honest and honest appearance since he came to Longzhou, especially after hooking up with Wang Hou, the young village master, he has also learned a little bit of the appearance of Yanei.

"Brother Gou'er, this is a good sweet wine I bought on the road, and I have half a gourd left, I'll give it to you, don't choke when you eat roast goose."

The dog looked at the two "righteous" brothers, and was moved to cry, hugged the two of them, and told them that they had been waiting for the two of them hungry for a long time, and then tried to see if the two of them were tough in a friendly way, and in this way, the three of them had a deep understanding of friendship.

In the middle of the night, he was a scholar, but he envied the watchman outside the house.

"Dog, it's all this, why haven't you slept yet?"

Wang Hou, who got up in the middle of the night to relieve his hunger, saw that the light in the dog's house was still on, so he pushed open the door and walked in and asked.

Hearing his question, the dog put down the brush in his hand, looked up and replied: "The exam will start next fall, I can't do it in many places, the master said, if you want to participate in this competition, this year is particularly important, those books that must be tested need to be memorized, in addition, some of the old year's test questions also have to be done several times, I have so far, many scriptures have not been done once, those posts and Moyi will definitely not be able to do, so I have to work more in the middle of the night." ”

For reading, Wang Hou is annoying, if it weren't for the fact that he had to master the seven classics of the military book to participate in the martial arts, he would never pick up half a page of the book.

"Then you're uncomfortable! I heard them say that if you don't try it first, it's not easier than the questions in Jinshi, if you don't pass the exam, these three years will be wasted! ”

Wang Hou sighed, walked over and rummaged through the thick stack of notes taken by the dog when he was reading, and said worriedly.

"It's okay!"

The dog didn't have much expectation for whether he could pass the exam or not, "I'm only thirteen years old, I can afford to wait, this time my goal is to pass the exam, and then go to Lin'an, the eastern capital, to see the world, with this experience, next time I will know how to prepare." ”

Originally, Wang Hou wanted to be lenient and lenient for the dog, after all, this imperial examination is not comparable to martial arts, and it is really not easy to work without five or six years of kung fu, since the dog can figure it out, Wang Hou is also relieved.

With a snort, he turned around and said as he went out: "Work hard, go back and invite you to eat wine in the largest restaurant in Lin'an City!" ”
