Chapter 173: Township School (1)

Everyone got back on the road and soon entered the first pavilion in the territory of the Yuyu Society, Yangli.

In Feng County, Pei County, Yangli is the real imperial township.

The birthplace of Emperor Henkel.

And in Yangli, Xinfeng Yushe, it was the first location chosen by Emperor Gao's Shandong brothers who placed him back then.

As soon as you enter the sun, the situation is very different.

It is different from the ragged and hard-working slaves and maids in the fields outside the village.

The whole Yangli is harmonious and peaceful.

The roads are clean and tidy, and the houses of the people in the village are neat and orderly.

The village has a wide avenue that connects the inside and outside.

In the distance, you can still hear the sound of immature reading aloud.

"Cangjie writes books to teach heirs, young sons to teach, and prudently respect ......"

"It's reciting the "Cangjie Chapter" ......" Zhang Yue smiled when he heard it: "Your Highness, I might as well go over and have a look......"

Liu Jin was also very interested, nodded when he heard this, and said, "It seems that Yangli's primary school education is doing a good job!" ”

There are also many smiles on his face.

The Han family attaches great importance to local rural education!

Especially today, he has issued edicts many times, asking the local squires to strengthen the enlightenment education of the people.

In the Han Dynasty, the three elders who were generally set up at the grassroots level were also responsible for educating the Mengtong of the local garden.

Most of the scholars of the Han Dynasty were accumulated through the basic education of this kind of township school.

For example, the original owner was sent to a primary school in Changshui Township for enlightenment education when he was six years old.

It's just that......

The primary schools of the Han Dynasty were completely different from the primary schools of later generations.

The primary school of the Han Dynasty, also known as the township school.

It is not a year-round school, but it is seasonal.

Generally, the school is taught in the winter and ends in the spring.

Therefore, Dongfang Shuo once said: Chen Shuo lost his parents less, raised his brother and sister-in-law for a long time, studied books at the age of thirteen, and used literature and history in three winters.

This confession revealed some clues to the enlightenment education of the Han Dynasty to future generations.

But what really allowed future generations to get a glimpse of the true face of grassroots primary school education in the Han Dynasty was the book "April Season" written in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In this book, the reality of rural basic education between the Han and Han dynasties is introduced in detail.

Judging from the memories that Zhang Yue got from the original owner, the township school at this time was divided into two stages every year.

The first stage is winter, when children between the ages of six and fourteen can go to the countryside to learn literacy and basic counting.

Literacy enlightenment uses the "Cangjie Chapter", and counting uses the "Arithmetic Book" as the textbook.

Anyone can go to the lectures, and anyone can go to learn.

It's just that you have to bring your own dry food.

The second stage is the basic education of children between the ages of 13 and 14.

Teach them some basic contents of the Book of Songs, the Book of Filial Piety, and the Book of Songs and the Spring and Autumn Period.

Under normal circumstances, very few children of ordinary people have the motivation to go to the countryside to receive education.

Even if the child is willing, the parents may not necessarily agree.

Because every labor force is precious.

Moreover, township education only provides basic education and carries out literacy campaigns.

No matter how hard you learn, you need further learning to get ahead.

But, where do ordinary people have this capital?

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is the landlord and gentry class who benefit.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, when the original owner went to the township to study, there were dozens of friends.

But those who can persist until the adult stage and still listen to the lectures are only a few chats.

However, this kind of basic education and enlightenment education are very useful!

Many of the famous ministers of the Han family completed their basic education in the township school.

Zhu Maichen, a poor man who doesn't even have land, can read and write, relying on township education.

The same is true of Gongsun Hong - when he was young, he was poor and could only make a living by herding pigs, but he was such a child from a poor family who still got the opportunity to be educated.

There is also the famous Changping Lie Hou Weiqing, a riding slave of the Pingyang Hou family, the son of a low-status family, and finally grew up to become the god of war of the empire.

He must have received an early education.

Otherwise, an illiterate general?

Isn't that ridiculous?

And Zhang Tang is recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and was enlightened through township education.

However, in the general local township pavilion, township education, and even the basic teaching in winter, are also intermittent.

The three elders in charge of the township school are often sleepy in winter, and there are many people who don't go to teach for a few days.

But in this sunshine, in this midsummer season, the township school is still educating.

This made Zhang Yue and Liu Jin particularly admire the three elders in Yangli.

…………………………

The group walked towards the township school in Yangli, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in Yangli.

Many young people walked out of the house and looked at Zhang Yue and the others with vigilant faces.

Zhang Yue noticed that these people were all dressed in strong suits, and they were obviously all practitioners.

Moreover, in this sun, almost every family has a stable and raises horses.

In many courtyards, there are places for archery targets and martial arts exercises.

It seems that this Yangli is probably a gathering place for military nobles.

When he arrived near the township school, Zhang Yue was even more convinced of this.

Because, at the gate of the township school, there are dozens of foals and some sheep.

Obviously, these foals and sheep were ridden by the Mengtong children from the township school.

This is a must-have for the children of aristocratic families in the northern part of the Han Dynasty.

It was learned from the Huns.

At the age of four or five, the Huns could not even run, so they began to ride sheep, and at the age of twelve or thirteen they began to ride foals, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen they became proficient in bowing horses.

So in the past, the Hun cavalry was far superior to the Han cavalry.

Later, the Han army learned this trick from the Huns, and so, it instantly completed the crushing of the Huns!

Especially the Jianyuan generation, the Huns were beaten to the ground!

Several samurai in armor stood guard at the gate of the township school.

When he saw Zhang Yue and his entourage, he stepped forward and said loudly: "Stop coming, here, the township school!" Township schools and national important land, the important of the community, no noise, no noise, if there is a violation, the law is not allowed! ”

Looking at their appearance, their expressions are calm, and their actions are forbidden, they are simply active Han soldiers!

Zhang Yue and the others hurriedly stopped.

Liu Jin also dismounted, showing respect for the township school.

In the Han Dynasty, respecting the village school was the instinct of every scholar and nobleman.

Even the king, in front of a village school, has to get off the bus to salute!

And the three elders who teach in the township school enjoy various privileges.

You may not believe it when you say it, but the three elders of the township school can even discuss and discuss those taboo topics that even the three princes and nine kings dare not touch.

For example, when the first emperor was in power, there were three elders who wrote a book to complain about their mistakes, and the first emperor wept when he heard the book and said: Don't I know?

Historically, after the witch curse, the first person to write a letter to rehabilitate the prince was also a third elder from a place called Huguan.

And the reason why this is so is because the Han people worship and respect Mr. Zisan.

The child property does not destroy the township school, so the Han people respect the township school even more.
