Chapter 44: Why did you become a young master?
This is the official lecture to the new students, just like the old master Yan's words when he first entered the village to study, Tang Que should be solemn when he heard it.
"Okay, there you go! Don't be too anxious about the restraints, just send them after you have all the money", when he said this, Lin Xuezheng's eyes naturally fell on Liu Xuejian, and after seeing him nodding again and again, Lin Xuezheng turned around and walked out of the room.
There are a lot of students in the county school, but there are very few people who can let the students come to ask and lecture in person on the day of registration. At the moment, he simply stopped using miscellaneous labor, but personally led Tang Que to the school building where Ming Jingke taught.
It was personally sent by the Superintendent, and the students in the class also understood that Tang Que had a background, and his gaze at him was a little different, until he settled down in the school building, there were still many students looking at him.
Like many aristocratic schools in later generations, there were also 30 students in the first class of the Tang Dynasty, but the classrooms were obviously much larger.
This class is teaching the "Book of Poetry" in the Five Classics, to say that Tang Que also studied the Book of Poetry in the Chinese Department in later generations, but unlike in later generations, the Book of Poetry explained now is a general lecture on the poems of the four families of Qilu, Han and Mao.
In the later generations of Tang Que's life, the poems of Qilu and Han have long been lost, and only Mao's poems are left. So even though it's a course I've taken before, it still sounds like a lot of new things. Because the four schools have different understandings of the Book of Songs, it has caused a deviation in the understanding of the Book of Songs, and often there are several statements on the theme of the same poem, or even a word or the precept of the word is also very different. However, this gentleman is obviously inclined to Han poetry, which has a direct conflict with the Mao poetry that Tang Que learned in later generations.
Originally, I thought that there was another understanding of what was right, and this understanding is still well-founded, and its own system can justify itself. This kind of subversive interpretation of inherent knowledge made Tang Que very unaccustomed, and it was difficult to judge for a while whether what he had learned before was right, or what Mr. said now, or even neither, but it should be that the words of Qilu's poems are closer to the original meaning of this scripture.
In this case, Tang Que couldn't afford to desert anymore, and almost not long after he sat down, he was forced to quickly enter the state of learning helplessly.
Different from the class system in later generations, a class in the county school is half an hour, exactly an hour. In the morning, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., the end of class is very short, and students have to trot to go to the toilet. As for the teaching method, the basic use is full of lectures, the teacher speaks, and the students remember. In addition, unlike in later generations, the county school does not teach in the afternoon, and students can use this time to digest or flip through books to supplement the content taught by the teacher in the morning.
This kind of arrangement of not going to class in the afternoon is most liked by Tang Que, and the sky is pitiful, so it gives him a chance to breathe, otherwise he really can't catch up with his homework with his current foundation.
At the end of the afternoon, Tang Que followed the other students out of the classroom, and when he was about to go home, he saw that the school building in front of him was crowded with students in fluttering Confucian clothes, and they were excitedly talking about something.
"Compare with him! What's wrong with Jinshike, I didn't hear what good poems they wrote, it's not easy to drag all day long, this time I dare to come to the door to stir up trouble, Luo Fei, if you don't dare to compare with him, you will be sorry for the ancestor of Cangjie", Tang Que was curious and listened to the crowd for a while and understood the reason for the matter, it turned out that there was a student of Jinshi who ran to the school building of the character "calligraphy" department to smash the field, claiming to compare calligraphy with the character students.
At this time, in addition to the Jinshi Department and the Ming Jing Department, there are also arithmetic subjects, law departments and other branches, among which the calligraphy department is also one of them, by the teacher professional teaching "Stone Classic", "Zilin", "Shuowen", "Sancang", "Erya", etc., the Ministry of Rites also has a "Mingshu" subject examination, after the examination of the official part of the award.
The number of students in each department of the official school is customized according to the Guozijian, the largest scale is naturally the Jinshi department, followed by the Ming Jing, as for other arithmetic, the number of law subjects is very small, such as the character department, in the Guozijian there are only "five doctors, five teaching assistants, and forty students to teach", and when it comes to the county school, it is even more pitiful, only five students have a quota.
Such a small major in the county school is the easiest to be ignored and underestimated, over time, as a character student will inevitably be the youngest to look at their Jinshi students full of resentment, this time others came to kick the field, and threatened to compare with calligraphy, when it was really unbearable, aunt unbearable! After the five-character student introduced a student with the highest calligraphy attainment, the other four people shouted and encouraged him as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Jinshi is the most noble, the most people, on weekdays in the school is naturally vigorous, the students of other subjects have long been unaccustomed to them, at this time there is such a good liveliness to see, not everyone is brave to be the first, in addition to the Jinshi students, other scholars are obliged to help the word students cheer up, as people gather more and more, the whole scene is very hot.
Although Tang Que had the heart to watch the excitement, there were too many onlookers, even if he wanted to see it, he didn't want to see what the protagonists were writing.
When Tang Que returned to his residence, he saw that there was already a middle-aged man in his forties in the concierge who was empty yesterday, and he thought that he had already been explained, and the middle-aged man was no stranger to him, so he got up respectfully and called the young master.
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and didn't speak to the porter, and after entering the front yard, he saw a mother and daughter busy working on the stove outside, the older one was about forty years old, as for the little one, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and after seeing him from a distance, the expression on his face was still a little timid.
As soon as Tang Que pushed open the door of the second courtyard, Sister Lan, who heard the sound, came out of the house like a little sparrow, "The young master is back from school!" ”。
The sudden salutation made Tang Que stunned, and he reached out to hold Sister Lan'er's slippery waist and smiled: "What young master, do you think I look like a young master?" ”。
