Chapter 053: A Visit from a Celebrity and Mercier
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Cheng is still working as his private school teacher, which is not much different from usual. The only difference between pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is that he now has two more students.
Since half a month ago, in front of several parents, the school disciples were examined, and the disciples all answered correctly, Lu Cheng's reputation spread again, and naturally someone sent their children who had reached school age over.
Although the two newly admitted disciples enrolled half a month late, Lu Cheng took some extra time and quickly made up for what the other disciples had learned before.
After all, the content of the "Three Character Classic" is simple, as long as you study it carefully, it will not take too much time.
In just one month, Lu Cheng has finished teaching the content of the "Three Character Classic". Now it is the Ming Dynasty, and the content of the scriptures is naturally less than that of later generations.
In the Ming Dynasty, do you dare to teach students scriptures related to the history of the Ming Dynasty?
The next teaching process is usually a hundred family names, but Lu Cheng changed the process and began to teach "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" that would only appear in the Qing Dynasty.
Lu Cheng actually has his own considerations for doing this.
"Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" is an enlightenment book that trains children to cope with and master sound rhythm and rhythm.
Poetry and couplets have been an important form of literature since ancient times, and the Ming Dynasty used Bagu Wen alone to consider talents, and there was no problem in the early stage, but the later it was, the more it would restrict the thinking of the readers, and then it would be difficult for the whole society to progress.
However, the Eight Shares are not as bad as later generations thought.
In the more than 200 years of the reign of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination system was relatively successful, and there were many famous ministers.
Moreover, at this time, if talents are not selected through the imperial examination, what criteria should be used to select officials?
However, the Eight Strands of Scholars did lead to the decline of poetry culture. In this context, if you can make a good poem, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself.
In this regard, Lu Cheng was deeply touched.
Therefore, he hopes that the students he teaches will be able to learn Shiwen well in the future, and at the same time, they can also take care of poetry, which is very beneficial to them.
When they were in Mengxue, they learned the rhythm of sound and rhyme, which means that they are higher than other readers at the starting line, and the poems they will make in the future will naturally not be too bad.
When he practiced calligraphy before, Lu Cheng wrote a lot of the content on "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", and after deciding to teach students like this, he hurriedly wrote more than ten copies of the content of "Yidong" in the first volume.
He asked one of his disciples to hand out these "makeshift textbooks," and when everyone had the paper, he began to read: "Clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening to clear sky." Laihong is against the swallow, and the bird is against the songworm. Three-foot sword, six-jun bow, Lingbei to Jiangdong. The summer palace in the world, the wide cold palace in the sky. ”
The catchy content was read out of Lu Cheng's mouth, and the disciples below were all fascinated. They have been studying the Three Character Sutra for so long, and they have never heard such an interesting thing.
Seeing the students' feedback, Lu Cheng just smiled lightly, and then continued: "The two sides of the strait are bright and green, and the spring rain and apricot blossoms are red. The two temples are windy and frosty, and the guests who travel early on the way; A cloud of smoke and rain, a night fishing by the stream. ”
After reading a short paragraph, Lu Cheng stopped and asked, "How is it, do you want to learn this?" ”
The disciples looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally replied in unison, "Yes!" ”
Interest is the best teacher.
Lu Cheng never doubted this sentence, as long as the children are interested, teaching will not be too difficult. Of course, this refers to the children of this age.
"Then let's learn the first sentence now, and read it with me first."
He nodded and began to read: "Clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening to clear sky." ”
The disciples immediately read along with him in unison: "Clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening to clear sky." ”
The content of this paragraph is relatively easy to understand, and Lu Cheng didn't explain too much, just briefly explained the general meaning, and then asked the students to read it aloud by themselves.
When he looked up, Lu Cheng saw his mother appear at the door and waved at him.
Lu Cheng had doubts in his heart, and hurriedly walked out of the study from the side, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”
Wang replied in a low voice: "Cheng'er, a few distinguished guests have come to look for you and are waiting in the hall, please go over and have a look." ”
"Cheng, I'll go over now."
Lu Cheng didn't know who was coming, but he knew it at first sight, so he didn't ask any more questions, and walked towards the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Cheng found two familiar faces from the three people sitting in the room, they were Zuo Guoji and Li Lian. The other is also dressed as a literati, looking about thirty years old, wearing a jade-colored straight jacket and a jade pendant around his waist, which looks elegant and extraordinary.
Lu Cheng had already vaguely guessed the identity of this person.
Who else can accompany Zuo Guoji and Li Lian besides Li Mengyang?
But he wasn't sure for a while, after all, Li Mengyang was now an official in the capital, how could he appear here?
Lu Cheng arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Li, Brother Zuo, don't come to harm!" ”
"Brother Xianchun, don't come unharmed!"
The two of them also returned a salute, and Zuo Guoji said: "Today we took the liberty to come to the door to disturb us, I hope you will forgive me!" Let me introduce you first, this is my brother-in-law, you should have heard of it. ”
"It turned out to be Master Lee, and the students see ......"
Lu Cheng confirmed his guess at this time, and was busy kneeling down to salute, but let Li Mengyang hold him up.
When Lu Cheng entered the door, Li Mengyang had been looking at him, and only then did he speak: "No need to be polite, I have already heard the name of Lu Cheng, haha......"
"The students are only sparse and shallow, and Master Li has an overreputation."
Lu Cheng hurriedly said modestly. But this is also the truth, Li Mengyang's talent is recognized.
Hongzhi five years of the township test Xie Yuan, six years of the second class seventeen jinshi. The most important thing is that this person is also known as "one of the first seven sons of the retro school in the Ming literary world" in later generations, and he is definitely a genuine Confucian!
"You don't have to be so modest!"
Li Mengyang shook his head and said with a serious expression: "I have already read the poem you wrote before, and it deserves the name of the head of the case!" ”
makes people praise it like this, even if Lu Cheng is thick-skinned, he feels a little embarrassed, so he has to smile modestly.
Li Mengyang turned to ask, "By the way, when we came in just now, what you taught your disciples was poetry?" ”
"Well...... this"
Lu Cheng pondered for a while before nodding frankly: "It should be regarded as poetry." ”
After admitting this, he was actually a little nervous. Because when I teach now, I teach completely from my own ideas, which is actually difficult to get the approval of the people in Shilin.
If one is not good, he will be scolded as "misleading people's children" as before.
But what surprised him was that Li Dongyang's face was very calm after listening to it, and he continued to ask: "Can you recite the paragraph you read to us again?" ”
Lu Cheng saw that the other party was not disgusted with this matter, and he did not reprimand himself out loud, so he felt a little calmer, and recited again in front of several people: "Clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening to clear sky." Laihong to go to the swallow, the resident bird to the songworm......"
