Yan Xueyi attaches great importance to the education of his children, and Yan Xueyi doesn't want any losers among his children and grandchildren. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yan Yongyi and Yan Meilin have reached the age of going to school, but it is impossible for Yan Xueyi to send the two to an ordinary primary school to study, safety is an important factor, and as a prince and princess, Yan Yongyi and Yan Meilin have a huge identity gap with other ordinary students, even if they are hidden and hidden, they will be rejected by most people because of their words and deeds.
What's more, the schools of the Chinese Empire have not yet enrolled any female students.
In fact, Yan Xueyi can hire a special teacher to teach Yan Yongyi and Yan Meilin knowledge, and the two of them, as princes and princesses, can receive education in this way.
Yan Xueyi also thought of the children of other courtiers in the empire, most of the ministers in important positions directly hired others to teach their children and grandchildren to their children and grandchildren, and only those minor officials would send their children to ordinary schools to study.
It is simply impossible to send the children and grandchildren of princes and princesses and even important ministers of the empire to ordinary schools.
In the past, each big family had its own family of genealogy, and the children of the family had to enter the genealogy study, and the previous Yan family had such a genealogy.
Now the Chinese Empire has appeared, the Manchu Dynasty has been overthrown, the former "mud legs" have been transformed into high-ranking nobles, and one big family after another has appeared, but these families have been established for too long, and there are not many members of a family, and it is unrealistic to set up a family of genealogy, so you can only hire special people to impart knowledge to your children, and even some people will personally teach knowledge to their children, but there are very few such people, after all, the Chinese Empire is developing in an all-round way, where there will be too much free time.
In addition, there is also a disadvantage in hiring someone to teach children knowledge, because their children have less contact with their peers, which is not conducive to the growth of their children.
Since Yan Yongyi and Yan Meilin can't be sent to an ordinary school to study, and they don't want to hire outsiders to teach Yan Yongyi and Yan Meilin the knowledge alone, Yan Xueyi thought of building a royal academy, so that Yan Yongyi and Yan Meilin and Yan Xueyi's courtier-age children can enter the royal academy to study together, of course, this kind of behavior may be called accompanying the prince to study in the eyes of many people.
Yan Yongyi is the dragon son born to the empress, and the first son of the emperor Yan Xueyi, although Yan Xueyi did not give Yan Yongyi the title of a prince, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yan Yongyi, who is now seven years old, is the prince and will inherit the throne in the future.
The Royal Academy is different from a regular school.
In Yan Xueyi's conception, the imperial academy lasted for six years, corresponding to the primary and secondary schools of the current empire.
At present, the ordinary primary school curriculum in the empire only has five courses: Chinese, mathematics, history, general knowledge, and physical education, and ordinary middle schools have added subtracted general knowledge and added three courses of physics, chemistry, and biology on the basis of the five courses of Chinese, mathematics, history, general knowledge, and physical education.
This is only a temporary curriculum, and in the future, elective courses such as music and art will be added to the curriculum of primary and secondary schools, and every student is not required to study, but students can learn if they are interested, and they can stop at any time.
Music and fine arts already belong to the category of art, which will develop rapidly in peacetime, and the empire attaches more importance to physical education, and there will be a physical education class every day, mainly to learn to strengthen the body.
There are many differences between the Royal Academy and ordinary primary and secondary schools, and the courses that ordinary primary and secondary schools have, the Royal Academy will have, but the Royal Academy also has many special courses.
The people who enter the Royal Academy are basically the children of the royal family, as well as the descendants of the ministers, they can be called the second generation of the emperor and the second generation of officials, and they are born with a noble status, and compared with the children of ordinary families, they have a higher starting point.
Ordinary children have to pay all kinds of hardships to achieve a certain achievement, but for the children of the nobility, such an achievement can be easily achieved, which is the identity gap.
But such a gap will make some noble children fluttering and make them do something that ruins the reputation of the family, so almost every family that has a certain amount of time will strictly educate the children of their own family, and the families that can make the children of the family ruin the reputation of the family, such families are mostly newly rising nouveau riche.
At present, the aristocratic class of the Chinese Empire appeared in less than ten years, and without the precipitation of time, the family does not have a perfect development plan, and it is easy for future generations to corrupt the family.
In Yan Xueyi's view, since the children of nobles have a higher starting point, they need to make more efforts to prove to the outside world that they do have this ability, rather than mediocre talents who do not learn and have no skills.
If the children of the nobility all become mediocre, then the future of the empire is worrying.
That's why Yan Xueyi wanted to build a royal academy and send all the children of the nobility to study there, so that they could learn more knowledge, and there would be no such thing as "no more than three generations of wealth".
On the basis of the ordinary primary and secondary school curriculum, the Royal Academy deepens the original curriculum of ordinary primary and secondary schools a little more difficult, but it is not too high.
Then there is the aristocratic etiquette course, aristocratic etiquette is very important, this course is to strictly regulate the behavior of aristocratic children, since as a noble child, you must have the appearance of nobles.
Aristocrats and ordinary people are natural boundaries, and aristocrats must have obvious differences from ordinary people, and aristocratic etiquette is one of them.
However, nobles are born from ordinary people, in the Chinese Empire, as long as ordinary people are willing to work hard, they can have the opportunity to become nobles, and the nobles and ordinary people of the empire are citizens of the empire, but the nobles have certain privileges, and the nobles will be punished if they make mistakes.
In addition to aristocratic etiquette, there is also music and fine arts.
Music and art are only optional knowledge for ordinary people, but they are necessary knowledge for the children of the nobility, and the music and art of the children of the nobility can not be proficient, but they must be understood.
In a nutshell, the children of the nobility must understand the six arts of a gentleman: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
The curriculum of the Royal Academy is basically an extension of the six arts of the gentleman.
In addition, there will be female students in the Royal Academy, and the curriculum for female students and male students will be somewhat different, and the female and male students in the Royal Academy are taught separately.
The Royal Academy recruits female students, which is also the biggest difference between the Royal Academy and ordinary schools, for the time being, ordinary schools are not able to admit female students, maybe the four provinces can do this soon, but the rest of the empire will be severely resisted.
