[Ran^文^Library][]. []. In fact, the Renaissance was not only revived by literature and art, but also by an ideological and cultural movement, a revolution in science and art. 【Ran Library (7764)】

It is precisely because of the Renaissance that Europe ended the backward and dark Middle Ages and entered the era of modern development.

The classical culture and humanist ideas of the Renaissance and revival originated from the era of ancient Greece and Rome.

Coincidentally, there were many sages in the era of ancient Greece and Rome in the West, and in China at the same time, there were also a group of shining sages and saints!

That is the hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period!

All around 500 B.C., and at their core, all humanist ideas.

In the West, there are sages such as Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates, and in China, there are sages such as Laozi, Confucius, Mozi, and Guiguzi.

Moreover, strictly speaking, China's current ideological development is obviously more comprehensive and advanced than that of the West!

The impact was even greater at the time.

The ideological emancipation movement in the West gave rise to the School of Wisdom and the idea of the ideal state. China's ideological emancipation movement gave rise to hundreds of schools, each of which had its own unique and advanced theories and ideas, and the content was particularly rich, and countless people participated in political activities.

Such as Shang Ying's change of law, such as Su Qinhe's vertical and horizontal side and the prime minister of the six countries!

There are probably ten of the most influential schools of thought.

Needless to say, Confucianism and Taoism advocate both love and non-attack, focusing on the study of natural sciences such as epistemology, logic, mathematics, optics, etc., and China's first "rivers and lakes" were created by the Mohist rangers, and the reason why China has the spirit of martial arts in later generations is the Mohist family.

There are also Legalists who pay attention to the rule of law, famous scholars who pay attention to debate, Yin and Yang who put forward the Five Elements Theory, Zonghengjia who are good at diplomacy, farmers who attach importance to agricultural production, and soldiers who have "The Art of War......

Each of these splendid and advanced ideas of ancient times contains infinite wisdom, and even in the 21 st century, more than 2,000 years later, they are not outdated at all, and some of them have been specially studied, and some of them have even become the basic policies of the state!

However, it is a pity that because Confucianism is more conducive to the rule of the ruling class, coupled with the influence of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the hundred schools of thought gradually declined, and the Confucianism family became dominant. Since then, the prosperity of Chinese culture has ceased to be a hundred schools of thought, and the theory of mathematics has become a side-door left-handed sect and nine streams.

This is not to say that Confucian culture is bad, but after all, Confucianism belongs to the category of philosophical thought, and the monopoly family will inevitably form a society with literati and Confucian students as the main body, and despise the education and development of natural science.

What Wu Zhi intends to build momentum is to re-advocate the various theories of the hundred schools of thought, so that people can re-understand the hundred schools, accept the hundred schools, study the hundred schools, and respect the hundred schools, so as to re-develop the hundred schools!

Of course, the revival of the hundred schools here is that Wu Zhi takes its essence and removes its dross according to his own needs, mainly focusing on the content of natural science, as for what ideological emancipation is forgotten, it is easy to cause social instability, and the Great Song Dynasty has nothing to emancipate ideologically......

To put it bluntly, in fact, Wuzhi is to create a trend of natural science, people's pursuit is not only Confucianism and other humanities classics, Qingzhou College can recruit a large number of students to study different subjects, in this way, Qingzhou College is Wuzhi's ideal comprehensive university.

Wu Zhi is confident in the idea of reviving the hundred schools, because the Great Song Dynasty has the soil for the development of this trend of thought, and the conditions are very suitable, if someone asks when the most suitable era for ancient China to occur similar to the Western Renaissance movement, it is undoubtedly the Song Dynasty.

At present, although Confucianism is prosperous, various doctrines or sects are very popular, Buddhism and Taoism are very prosperous, and the officials of the dynasty are very convinced of Taoism; Confucianism also divided into Ercheng's "Luoxue" and Zhang Zai's "Guanxue", and because of the development of industry and commerce, people highly respected practical science and technology, and even Confucianism followed up with the proposal of "applying the poor scriptures to use".

In fact, it is to apply what you have learned, but after all, Confucianism is based on philosophical thoughts, and there are not many useful places to apply what you have learned.

It is necessary to adapt to the theories or ideas of other schools, so as long as there is a momentum for the "revival of a hundred schools", then people will soon accept it and begin to supplement and develop.

If the Song Dynasty is the dynasty that is most conducive to the revival of a hundred schools, then Qingzhou at this moment is the place where the Great Song Dynasty is most conducive to launching the first shot of this movement.

Thanks to the blessing of the Tuowuzhi Bank Newspaper, Qingzhou has become the richest city in the Great Song Dynasty except for Bianjing, where commerce is developed and it is the best hotbed of ideological movement.

Frequent commercial and trade activities have made people more open-minded and open-minded, and the social and academic atmosphere centered on economic interests rather than centralized political interests is relatively free. Wu Zhi's current plan is to make every effort to make the momentum of "rejuvenation of 100 schools" bigger and stronger in Qingzhou, which is easy for Wu Zhi, who controls Qingzhou Daily. After the revival of the hundred schools of thought in Qingzhou is formed, even if Wu Zhi doesn't care about it, this trend of thought will quickly spread in Shandong and in the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, the Renaissance in Europe only began to develop through a few cities such as Florence and Venice.

These cities are also particularly developed cities for commercial trade in Europe, but Qingzhou, where Wuzhi is located...... There is no comparison.

In addition to the unique social, cultural, and economic favorable conditions for launching the "Hundred Schools of Rejuvenation" movement in the Song Dynasty, there is another aspect that Wu Zhi firmly believes that the "Hundred Schools of Rejuvenation" movement can help him build a comprehensive university.

This was the general level of education in the Song Dynasty, or the popularity of education in ancient times.

I have to admit that China before modern times has always been the least illiterate country in the world at the same time, and China has attached great importance to education and education in the past dynasties, and if you read well, you will have officials to do it, and you can glorify the lintel, so the people are also eager to read and write.

But ancient times are ancient times, and the compulsory education popularized by the whole people in later generations cannot be compared, even if it is developed like the Song Dynasty, the number of people who can read and write is less than one-tenth of the total population!

This includes all those who can read and write, and if you exclude those who have no merit, this proportion is not even 1 in 10,000.

That is to say, since the children of the Song Dynasty were born, they could read and read smoothly until they grew up, and there was only one person at most out of ten, and most of the others studied for a few days, and after they became wise, they followed their father to learn crafts, or farming, or went to the city to work.

Of course, one-tenth is already a very high proportion compared to all dynasties and generations, but these people who read books, and those who can pass the basic fame of lifting people are one in ten thousand, and as for those who are one in ten thousand, they refer to Jinshi, and they are even more one in 100,000.

Then the problem is, there are always countless young scholars who fail to pass the merit or jinshi exam, and they have a belly of ink, and they have infinite vitality, these people's restless youth has nowhere to place, once the "Hundred Schools of Rejuvenation" movement rises, these people must be the backbone of the movement.

After the Hundred Schools of Thought Revival Movement was launched, once these people changed their concepts and realized that scientific research and seeking officials was not the only way out, there were still greater and more meaningful things waiting for them to explore and discover; There are newer, more incredible things waiting for them to learn...... After completing their studies, there are more lucrative remuneration and positions waiting for them!

Then, Wuzhi's Qingzhou College will surely become a comprehensive institution of higher learning with talents in all disciplines!
