Chapter 126: Three Surpluses and Three Flavors
The Iron Gate Daoist let out a long sigh and was full of sorrow.
"Now these people who are reading are so romantic, following the general trend, they are all just going to the Golden House, Yan Ruyu, all of them are utilitarian and petty people, and what else is good to teach, don't teach it......"
"It turns out that this is the original intention of the old man to abandon prosperity and be willing to be cold!" The words of the Tie Fei Daoist made Wu Zhi find the reason why the Tie Dao people refused to teach and educate people, and they were not very willing to deal with people.
Sure enough, he is an old man with a temper, but in Wu Zhi's opinion, if a scholar does not have a little temper of his own, he is actually no different from a sissy.
It must be known that the scholar is different from the warrior, there is no gun and knife in his hand, but he uses pen and ink as a weapon.
So, how to help the world?
"Deserted is lonely, but it has its own tranquility, sleeping comfortably at night, and being happy during the day...... "Iron Gate said.
"The old man is right. Therefore, although the father-in-law and daughter live in a simple place in this big manor, they are still 'alone', no matter what the outside world thinks, and they are not afraid of what others say, no matter the wind and sun, or spring and autumn, they are still thunderous, make full use of all their spare time to study and improve themselves, neither for utilitarianism, nor for educating people, but only for educating themselves......" Wu Zhi said something and deliberately provoked him.

"This is the so-called 'winter is more than the year, the night is the day, and the rainy is also the time.'" Admire, admire, admire. βnote 1
"It's more than three. In my opinion, there are three flavors to reading. And these three flavors are what the current scholars are poor ......," the Iron Daoist took over.
"Listen up!"
"The three flavors are the warmth of the cloth, the fragrance of the roots, and the long taste of poetry and books. Cloth warm means that the clothes are mainly used for the purpose of keeping out the cold and covering the ugly, as long as you can dress decently, you should not blindly pursue luxury and gorgeous, the root fragrance refers to our three meals a day to have coarse tea and light rice for the diet should be satisfied, can not blindly yearn for the delicacies of the mountains and seas, eat a mouthful, poetry and books long taste means that no matter who you are, in addition to eating and dressing warmly, you should use all your spare time to read, to study, live to be old, learn to be old, And from this process, I realized the power that those levels bring to people in addition to food and clothing, why, because poetry and books are the spiritual food of mortals......"
The Iron Daoist shook his head when he said this, and after a pause, he continued:
"As long as the reader can know these three flavors and have a character, then there will be no children to teach......"
"Well said. Uncle, my God, I just thought of going with you, and the school we want to run will be named Sanwei Book House according to your meaning, ......
"Three Flavors Study?" The Iron Gate Daoist was stunned.
"Yes, the name you have given me."
"When did I promise you to open a school?"
"Just now, as you said, you put forward the three flavors that you hope readers should have, and you also said that as long as readers can know these three flavors, then you can teach!" Wu Zhi shook his head and shook his head, learning the expression of the Iron Gate Daoist just now.
"How can I say that?"
"Could it be that you want to play tricks? Yuxiang, you speak fairly! β
"My father has said this, but ......" Tie Yuxiang is a sincere girl, one is one, two is two, and she will not make her heart.
"However, even if I am willing to open a school, how can you guarantee that all the scholars who come to study have the three flavors I said?" The Iron Doorman snatched the conversation back from his daughter.
"I can't promise it!"
"You can't promise it?"
"Yes, I can't guarantee that. It's just a good wish to want all the people in the world to be able to have those three flavors......"
"Without the three flavors, what kind of school do we open!"
"If everyone already has three flavors, then why do we need to open any school!"
"You...... So ......"
"Therefore, we must first enlighten those who are not civilized, let them know what the three flavors are, and at the same time, teach by example and lead by example."
"What if you can't educate?"
"It's man-made. Resigned. β
"Such a contradiction?"
"It's not a contradiction. After all, there are billions of people, and everyone is different. Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, open a school, become a teacher, just like a gardener, students are trees, trees are good and bad, some can grow into trees, and some grow into crooked neck trees. There are also human qualities that can be perfected, and there are those that cannot be. For that good seedling, what the teacher should do is to bring his parents to guide and improve his character as much as possible, and on the basis of his original, discover his nature, conform to his genius, and make him thrive and eventually become a towering tree. As for what kind of tree he is, whether he can bloom or not, and what fruit he can bear, that is his original character, which cannot be influenced by the gardener, so when it comes to teaching according to his aptitude, it is already more difficult to achieve such a thing, how can he ask for more. β
"What if I grow a tree with a crooked neck?"
"The tree is crooked and can live, that is it towards the light, it is a different landscape, people are crooked, it is difficult to say, it is he who carries the light, towards the yin, dyed with a bad atmosphere, it has both natural character factors, and the influence of the acquired evil, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, probably so, if parents and teachers really teach by word and deed, lead by example, but still come to this, then, can not hang himself on his crooked neck tree......"
"You're saying you can't give up an entire forest for a crooked-necked tree?"
"I mean, even if an entire forest could grow into a crooked neck tree, even if only one person could be bred from it, it would be a great achievement. It's also worth doing. Different visions, different focus points, different moods, and different worlds. The reason why you don't want to teach is because it is difficult to educate people, you dislike and are afraid to see the students you teach grow into crooked neck trees, the old man blames me and says you, you say that the current scholars are utilitarian, but the old man is teaching and educating people, as long as he is born with good seedlings, just ask for the same as your bones, is this also the same as the utilitarian heart? β
"Boy, you're a good sophistry. Obviously, the current teaching atmosphere is utilitarian, I don't want to go with the flow and go with the flow, how did I get to you, it was my fault? β
"Mr. Tie, let it go with the current, Lao Tzu said, do something and do nothing, different streams are not done, and to achieve something with their own strengths, but it is the right thing to do, in my opinion, it is the reverse current that shows the true ability. As the saying goes, a famous teacher produces a high apprentice, if you are a famous teacher, Mr. Tie, why worry about not being able to cultivate a high apprentice? β
