Chapter 303: Chang'an in Change
Old Tang Book? The preface of the "Biography of Confucianism" says: "Gaozu Jianyi Taiyuan, the initial Jingyi, although it was immediately obtained, and quite a good Confucian minister, on March 5 of the first year of Yining, the first order of the country to learn seventy-two members, take more than three descendants; 140 Taixue students, take more than five grades of descendants; There are 130 students in the four courses, and the descendants of more than seven grades are taken. There are 60 students in the upper county, 50 in the middle county, and 40 in the lower county. There are 40 members in the upper county, 30 in the middle county, and 20 in the lower county. ”
The Tang Dynasty's Guozijian was treated quite well, and at that time, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all officials, students and apprentices were borne by the government. The teachers of the government school and the managers of the Guozijian are all state officials and enjoy official duties. Not only that, but the advanced education of the Tang Dynasty at that time still amazed people today, and even sighed at themselves in some places.
In the Tang Dynasty, Guozijian at that time not only had elective courses but also public compulsory courses in terms of subjects and teaching content, and Confucianism was divided into three categories: large, medium and small. The major scriptures are "The Book of Rites" and "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period"; The Chinese classics are "Book of Songs", "Zhou Rites", and "Rites"; The small scriptures are "Yi", "Shangshu", "Spring and Autumn Ram Biography", "Spring and Autumn Valley Liang Biography".
Students can choose the corresponding Confucian classics to study according to the regulations, and the standards are "two classics" (learning one major classic, one minor classic, or two middle classics), "three classics" (learning one classic, one classic, one for each of the large, medium, and small schools) and "five classics" (learning all the major classics, and choosing one for each of the rest) and so on. The Book of Filial Piety and the Analects are compulsory subjects.
The number of years of study is also stipulated for each classic: the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Analects" are studied for 1 year; "The Legend of the Ram" and "The Legend of Gu Liang" are each one and a half years; "Yi", "Poems", "Zhou Li" and "Etiquette" are each two years; "The Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan" are each three years.
In addition to studying calligraphy, calligraphy also requires daily calligraphy practice, such as "Stone Scripture Three-Body Body" (three years), "Chinese", "Shuowen" (two years), and "Zilin" (one year). Arithmetic studies "Sun Tzu", "Five Cao", "Nine Chapters", "Island" and so on. The law learns the law. The Analects and the Book of Filial Piety are compulsory public courses in calligraphy, arithmetic, and law. In addition, students are free to choose their own school.
In addition, the official school in the Tang Dynasty had clear provisions on assessment, graduation, rewards and punishments. There are three types of examinations: the tenth exam, the annual exam, and the graduation exam. The mid-year examination and the annual examination are presided over by the doctor. The 10-day examination examines the courses that students have studied within 10 days, including reciting 1,000 words, lecturing 2,000 words, asking about righteousness, and taking a written test. Obtaining three points is for understanding, two points for passing, and there is a penalty for failing the grade.
The annual examination is a course studied within one year, and there are 10 articles of oral questioning, 8 articles are superior, 6 articles are average, 5 articles are inferior, and the inferior level is a failure and must be repeated (i.e., repeating a grade). If the annual examination is still inferior after repeating, it will be punished for nine years, and if it still fails, it will be withdrawn.
All students in government schools are entitled to public expenses during their studies, including clothing and meals, which are paid by the imperial court and local governments. Students with poor test scores are punished with "suspension of public meals"; Those with good academic and moral conduct will be rewarded. Any student of the sixth school who has been inferior in teaching, who has failed in the scientific examination or who has not succeeded in the school for nine consecutive years, who does not return to school or who has made fun and miscellaneous plays in violation of the holiday regulations, will be expelled from the school.
The graduation exam is written by the doctor, and the kokuko festival wine is invigilated. If you want to continue your studies, graduates of the four courses will be admitted to Taixue, and graduates of Taixue will be admitted to Guozixue. There is also a holiday system for government schools, which is often a "ten-month vacation", which is a one-day holiday after each ten-month exam.
The seasonal ones are "field leave" and "clothing leave", the field leave is in May of the lunar calendar when the farm is busy, and the clothing leave is in September of the lunar calendar when preparing to change winter clothes, each time there is a month off, and students are allowed to go home to visit relatives. Extended holidays are also allowed if the home is far away from the school, or if there is a major event in the family. However, if it has been extended and the overdue period is too long, it will cause him to withdraw from the school.
"All students have passed the two classics, Junshitong has passed the three classics and those who wish to stay, four students make up for Taixue, and too students make up for Guozixue. There is field leave in May and clothing leave in September. (New Tang Dynasty Book)
From these perspectives, the daily management methods such as the division of disciplines, the setting of the academic year and the school system, and the daily management methods such as academic assessment and holiday regulations at that time, there is almost no difference between the Tang Dynasty Guozijian and the universities of later generations, which is really amazing. It's just that Li Er may be disappointed, Guozijian is mainly based on Confucianism, Li Hao is not so interested in Confucianism, although the Four Books and Five Classics are memorized in his mind, but he has never studied his thoughts seriously.
What he wants to do is completely incompatible with the existing system of Guozijian, what he wants to do is to turn Guozijian into the world's highest university, where every student is the elite of the elite, and every major is the world's top major.
Instead of a group of pedants who only study Confucianism, and can't use government money to support a bunch of officials and two generations, will these people be short of money? Thinking of this, Li Hao was a little frustrated, if he wanted to change greatly, it would definitely be very difficult, and those officials in the imperial court would not spray him to death? What did Li Er mean by getting him here?
Although Fang Er and the others didn't quite understand why Li Hao was the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, they were very familiar with the Guozijian. told Li Haoyi about the situation of Guozijian, and Li Hao became more and more confused about Li Er's arrangement.
However, this thing has not yet been determined, and Li Hao is not in a hurry to think about it. When he went to go through the formalities and met Li Er, he would know what was going on.
"Let's get ready for dinner, this time we came back from the south, and brought some specialties from there, you guys will really pick the opportunity to come to me." After chatting for a while, the kitchen had already prepared a feast and waited for them to come over.
Li Mansion's current banquets basically don't use Li Hao's hands much, and Li Hao will only make things when he promotes new dishes, and he doesn't do much at other times, otherwise how can he have so much time?
Many of the things brought from the south are dry products, because Li Hao spent a lot of time all the way, and if he brought fresh things, even if they were frozen and preserved, the things would not be eaten at this time.
In fact, there will be some seafood here in Chang'an, and sometimes there are frozen fresh food. There are a lot of vegetables now, and there are a lot of greenhouses here in Guanzhong, even in winter, there is no shortage of vegetables to eat.
And the things prepared by Li Hao naturally won't be the things here, in addition to the dried seafood in the south, he also prepared all kinds of pickled vegetables and kimchi in the south, and then made all kinds of delicious food, which opened the eyes of a few guys.
"This Hepu taro steamed button meat tastes really good, as well as this bamboo shoots and fried bacon, as well as this cuttlefish seafood soup are all good. I'm used to eating the big meat in Guanzhong, and then I eat these small dishes from the south, which really has a different flavor. ”
After the banquet, a few guys commented on the various dishes on the banquet, Li Hao didn't prepare any very expensive food, they were all some commonly used ingredients, and then combined into a variety of delicious food, so that a few guys felt very satisfied after eating.
For them, they often eat a lot of meat, and they will get tired of eating too much. Therefore, for the unique delicacy, it is natural to prefer a little more.
After eating, a few people took a little rest, and then went to the nightclub with their shoulders hooked, Li Hao's wives did not follow, but stayed at home to take care of the children.
They also believe in Li Hao, and Li Hao will definitely not mess around like everyone else after going to those places. Li Hao has always behaved very well in this regard, and he will not engage in any dewy marriage.
"Brother Xian has not been in Chang'an for the past few years, and now Chang'an City has changed too much. Except for the gates of the outer city, which are closed at night, the gates of the palace are closed, and the curfew is not imposed until after 12 p.m. So now life in Chang'an City at night is not much worse than during the day, and there are still people in many places who set up stalls to do business. ”
"yes, it's just a little harsher this time. The years have been going on and on, and the business of our nightclub has also deteriorated a lot. I don't know when I will have to return to the previous grand occasion. ”
A few people walked in Chang'an City at night, and Fang Er and a few of them introduced the changes here to Li Hao. The most noticeable change is that you can see shops doing business with lights on the roadside from time to time, but these shops are basically clustered together. There are no separate shops to be seen, and there are usually soldiers patrolling these places.
After walking for a while, Li Hao also roughly saw a little bit of fame, and this kind of place is usually the door of each shop. On several important roads such as Suzaku Avenue, these industries are not allowed to exist.
As Fang Er said, I haven't seen each other for a few years, but this Chang'an City has indeed changed a lot. This also indirectly shows that the Tang Dynasty is now more and more relaxed about commerce, which also allows all the people to have another way to make a living in addition to farming.
"No one can do anything about this kind of thing, but it will be fine after a while. Fortunately, the events of the year have not caused much damage to Chang'an City, otherwise our business will be even worse, and maybe the entire Chang'an City will enter the curfew day again. Li Hao replied with a smile after hearing this, no one can do this kind of thing.
But for him, the money earned by Datang nightclub is not the point. Southern Development Bank, Far East Trade, these places are Li Hao's biggest source of wealth now, much faster than Datang nightclubs.
"The one I envy the most now is Brother Xian, I've been to so many places, and I've sailed in the sea by boat, I feel extremely free when I think about it." Fang Er actually has investments in these places, but the scale is not as big as Li Hao, but the annual income is also a lot, and they are not so concerned about the downturn in nightclub business.
So when chatting, I couldn't help but talk about Li Hao's things in the south, the western expedition to Nanzhao, the southern expedition to Linyi, the eastern expedition to Ryukyu and Fusang, the big boat shuttling in the sea, and the ability to catch fish the size of a hill, this kind of thing is the most envied thing for those of them who can only stay here in Chang'an.
