Chapter 263: Yushima Sanctuary

Time flies, and it's almost spring again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

About two kilometers west of the Marunouchi Exit of Tokyo Station and north along Hongo Avenue on the Kanda River, there is a unique temple-like building, the Yushima Seido, which is dedicated to the memory of Confucius.

Japanese students have a custom that they have to come here to worship the saint when they take exams and go on to higher education. When Mu Tianyu heard this, he thought that as a Chinese student, he should also go to Japan to have a look. I made an appointment with my girlfriend Kazumi Yuta, and they came over together to pay homage to Kong Shengxian, the originator of education in China.

Mu Tianyu and Kazumi Yuda walked into the Swen Guild Hall, bypassing the building and the world's largest statue of Confucius, as well as the large stone statues of the four saints: Yanzi-Yanhui, Zengzi, Sizi-Zisi, and Mencius, and ascended the stone steps. When the black and shiny temple building appears in front of you, you can pass through the mountain gate and the vestibule, and then go up a few steps, and walk in through the apricot altar gate, which is the holy church.

In the most prosperous part of Tokyo, you can find this Confucian temple building, and it is a traditional Chinese courtyard house layout with a single entrance on the top of the mountain. Entering the apricot altar door, there are halls on both sides, and the center is the Dacheng hall.

This made Mu Tianyu feel very peculiar, but in our China, even China's Teacher's Day, it definitely has nothing to do with Confucius. And here, the Japanese actually inscribed stone carvings, respecting Confucius as the ancestor of education, and respecting the Confucian Temple as the birthplace of education.

This is very surprising to the world when it comes to education.

I don't know how many countries in the world have set Teacher's Day as the birthday of Confucius, but only China, I don't know why, I don't know what allusions, set Teacher's Day on September 10. Obviously, China did not regard Confucius as the originator of Chinese education.

Mu Tianyu said with emotion, "It may be that Confucius has always been politicized in Chinese history, or he has been praised as a master of governing the country, extremely respectful of Confucius, and even the law is based on Confucius's words; Either send him to the eighteenth layer of hell and burn books and pit Confucianism. Even in contemporary times, there has been a disturbance to erect the world's largest statue of Confucius in Tiananmen Square, but I don't know when, this statue of Confucius quietly disappeared, leaving the hearts of the Chinese people at a loss. ”

Kazumi Yumada said: "In fact, Confucius was the world's earliest educator. It is normal for Japan to regard Confucius as the greatest educator and not as a tool of its rulers, so as not to shake the tradition and foundation of education. ”

"Well, it's just a sudden feeling, the world's cognition should be the same, the originator of world education is Confucius, and the real festival for teachers should of course be the birth day of Confucius."

"Brother Xiaoyu, in Japan, every year for the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, many students and parents come to the Yushima Shrine and ask for a sign and make a wish at the Yushima Tenmangu Palace in the north, hoping to be admitted to the ideal school. Special pencils for exams are also purchased here so that students can stabilize their minds during exams. ”

"Really? Kazumi, did you come here before you took various exams? ”

"Of course, it goes without saying!"

"Oh, interesting, haha......"

After visiting the Confucian Temple, Mu Tianyu felt in his heart that he still seemed to have a Chinese complex when he studied in Tokyo, and he was constantly connected.

The Spring Festival is coming up again, and this year's vacation time at the University of Tokyo does not coincide with the Chinese New Year. It seems that I can't go home for the New Year this year!

The Japanese have just finished the New Year, and in China it is New Year's Day. Mu Tianyu only felt that the New Year in Japan was not a New Year.

He thought that in the past, when he was in the military school, he often couldn't go home for the New Year, but in the military school, everywhere in China, the New Year is still the same. So, where he used to be, he didn't feel anything special.

But now, it is clear that the New Year is coming, but the Japanese say that they have already finished the New Year.

After going to the Tangdao Holy Church, Mu Tianyu felt a little comforted in his heart.

Professor Toshiyu's wife called Mu Tianyu and said that the teacher was sick and hospitalized. asked Mu Tianyu to help him arrange substitute teaching and graduate work.

Soon Mu Tianyu will be in the third year of his doctorate, and he is now considered a big disciple of the teacher. He not only has to do his own scientific research work, but also leads the entire scientific research team to tackle key problems together. The courses offered by Professor Yuan Ye to undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Tokyo often had to be completed by Mu Tianyu.

His future father-in-law, sometimes worriedly, joked to Mu Tianyu: "Tianyu-jun, are you going to abandon all our family's property?" ”

"What did Uncle say?" Mu Tianyu asked without joking, but the old man Yutian said: "Look, Yuta was still young in the past, and Hemei helped take care of the business, I wanted to hand over the family business to them earlier, and if an industry wants to develop for a long time, it is necessary to let the children become talents and take over in time." ”

"You're right, but why do you say you're abandoning the industry?"

"Now, your little brother is even less enthusiastic about the family's industry, and Hemei also handed over the business she took care of to others, and she started her academic work with you all day long. When we get old, who will we hand over the property to? ”

"Uncle, you're still too old to get old! Besides, modern enterprise management should take the road of professional management, and she is doing this kind of try and transformation, you can rest assured! ”

"Really? Ha ha...... I'm actually relieved, ah! ”

Mu Tianyu arranged all the work and went to substitute for the teacher. Every time he goes to class, the students always arrive at the most, and even some students from foreign majors come to choose courses and listen to the lectures.

Yuta Amada is also dignified and will not fall behind to listen to his lessons.

Many professors at the University of Tokyo wonder why Mu Tianyu, who is not yet 25 years old, is so attractive to students in his classes? Is he handsome, or is he academically successful, or is it because he is a big hero?

When asked about the students who came to the class, the general answer was, "There are all these reasons!" ”

Mu Tianyu rushed to the hospital as soon as he got out of class, his time is very precious, and he often even postpones or simply cancels the time to fall in love, but fortunately, Yutian Kazumi understands her very well. She often went to Mu Tianyu's house as before, prepared dinner for him, and improved his food.

When he arrived at the hospital, he visited the teacher and helped his wife deal with some affairs, and he was not idle for a moment. Sometimes, Mr. Toshiyu Harano can't tell whether Mu Tianyu is his student or his child.

They are an old couple, they only have one child in their lives, they are daughters, they married abroad very early, and it is rare to see each other. They are naturally very close to Mu Tianyu, and they really invisibly treat him as their own child.
