"It's easy!

…… School education is a purposeful, systematic and organized social activity undertaken by full-time personnel and specialized institutions, with the direct goal of influencing the physical and mental development of the educated school educators. Schooling is a concept as opposed to social education. It refers to the various educational activities that the educated receive in various types of schools. It is an important part of the education system. In general, schooling includes primary, secondary and tertiary education. ”

Li Dongyang: "Forehead ......"

……

…………

Li Dongyang was embarrassed, obviously, he didn't understand any of the terms in Li Yan's mouth, as a senior old pedant, obviously this kind of thing is very shameful in Li Dongyang's eyes.

As there were more and more professional terms for Li Yi's modernization, Li Dongyang's face became more and more ugly, and in the end, Li Dongyang didn't listen to it directly, and slapped the table directly.

"Don't talk nonsense, the old man doesn't understand, so the old man asks you, what is the school?" Li Dongyang is full of confidence, in fact, Li Dongyang speaks gently and elegantly on weekdays, but he may have choked up enough by Li Yan's words today, so his tone was a little unkind.

Hearing this, Li Yan stopped talking and was concise and clear.

"Private school, big private school."

After Li Yan explained, he may feel that something is not in place, so he added another sentence.

"Private school?" Li Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that the thing that was full of wind and rain in the capital was actually a small private school?

Li Dongyang was a little strange, and felt that some people were making a fuss.

Although the thing of private school sounds lofty, it is still relatively common now, because the capital is almost everywhere, as long as you are a scholar, you don't need to learn five cars to be rich, as long as you learn two cars, you can open a private school.

But Li Dongyang obviously underestimated Li Yan's creativity, and the next moment, Li Dongyang couldn't laugh......

"My school is different from the current private school."

Li Yan said lightly.

"How is it different?" With the idea just now, Li Dongyang no longer took the matter of Li Yan's founding of the school to heart, and asked casually.

"Hmph, my school can be used as a school for both boys and girls." Li Yan snorted twice, and then saw that Li Dongyang's mouth could simply stuff an egg into it, Li Yan felt that he really needed to hum twice.

"What? Can both men and women go to school? Isn't this a mess of etiquette? Li Dongyang was so excited that the cup in his hand was about to be thrown out.

In ancient China, and even in the Ming Dynasty, the enrollment of new students was a very important thing, and at that time, the enrollment of new students not only had a grand apprenticeship ceremony, but also had to be highly valued.

The "entrance ceremony" was regarded by the ancients as one of the four major rites of life, and was compared with the coming-of-age ceremony, wedding, and funeral ceremony. In ancient times, children generally entered private schools between the ages of four and seven, which was called "opening books", "breaking schools" or "breaking meng", and the "opening ceremony" handed down according to the "Book of Rites" and "Di Zi Gui" has not changed for thousands of years. The usual "opening ceremony" includes formal dressing, bowing to the teacher, purifying hands and hearts, and opening wisdom with cinnabar.

"The Book of Rites": "The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in the correct appearance, the same color, and the right words." ”

Therefore, the first lesson in ancient school entrance was "dressing properly". The ancients believed: "First dress properly, then understand things." "Getting students to pay attention to their own grooming is the first lesson to be taken. At the beginning of the school, the new students should stand one by one, and the husband will help the students to tidy up their clothes in turn. Then, "neatly dressed" lined up to assemble in front of the school. After standing for a while, he can enter the school under the guidance of Mr.

After entering the school, the apprenticeship ceremony is held. Students should first bow to the holy master Confucius, kneel on both knees, and bow nine times; Then there is Mr. Bai, three knocks. After paying homage to Mr., the students presented him with a six-rite bundle. The so-called six rites are the six gifts given to the master by the disciples during the ancient worship ceremony, namely, celery: the meaning is diligence and studiousness, and the industry is good at diligence; Lotus seed: Lotus seed is bitter, meaning painstaking education; Red beans: meaning red luck; Red dates: meaning early in high school; Longan: It means the perfection of merit; Strips of dried lean meat: to express the disciple's heart.

"Above self-restraint, I have not tasted no teaching."

The ancients, who attached great importance to etiquette since ancient times, prepared a very complete set of things, and even such beautiful things that meant that they never left one behind.

After the apprenticeship, the students should put their hands in the basin of water to "clean their hands" according to the teacher's instructions. The washing method of "clean hands" is to wash the front and back once, and then wipe them dry. The meaning of washing hands is to clean hands and hearts, remove miscellaneous essence, and hope to concentrate and have no distractions in future studies.

Cinnabar Kaizhi, also known as cinnabar enlightenment or cinnabar mole, is the last procedure in the opening ceremony. Specifically, the teacher holds a brush dipped in cinnabar and dots a red dot like a "mole" on the center of the student's eyebrows. Because "mole" is homophonic with "wisdom", cinnabar spot mole is actually taken from the meaning of "wisdom", which means to open wisdom, eyes and hearts, and hope that students can learn in the future.

The earliest schools that appeared in ancient times were called "school" and "庠". Later, it was also called "Mengxue", and the educational institutions that undertook Mengxue were generally private schools.

Private learning has appeared since the Spring and Autumn Period, when the society was in turmoil and the official education was in decline, and some cultural officials carried cultural classics and ceremonial instruments to the lower classes, which was the beginning of private learning. However, in the Song and Yuan dynasties, the government also began to pay attention to enlightenment education, and set up "social studies" in various towns and villages.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court stipulated that 5o families should be a society, and each society should set up a school, and let the children go to school to study during the agricultural slack. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the government followed this system and established social studies in various places, and a considerable number of them were established. According to statistics, in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the number of primary schools set up in Nanjing alone reached as many as 2,919, of which Nanjing Shangyuan and Jiangning counties have social studies in each fangxiang, and around Nanjing, there are 11 social studies in Lishui County, and there are 16 social studies in Jurong County during the Hongwu to Yongle years.

In addition to social studies, there are also places for enlightenment education such as Yixue, village schools, ethnic schools, and sitting halls. Among them, there are both official and private schools, which are generally funded by local officials or squires, and the students enrolled are poor children, and there is no tuition fee; Village schools and clan schools are organized by a village or a large family; Sitting in the hall and teaching hall are rich families who hire teachers to go to school for their children or the children of relatives and friends, and the schools attended by Jia Baoyu, Xue Pan and others in "Dream of Red Mansions" belong to the nature of sitting in the hall.

However, Li Yan's actions this time are obviously different, no matter how powerful the current private school is, it is just to let the boy study, and it is the daughter's family who invites him to study at home, and Li Yan is to change this status quo so that all children can study.

Although Li Yan knew that this matter might be the most difficult thing he had ever done, Li Yan had to do it, because Li Yan didn't want his children to live in a hierarchical society, even if he could change a little.
