Chapter 195: The Teacher of One Word
Ji Ning and Mi Zhirong have many similarities in terms of educational philosophy, which is why the two can cooperate on Sanwei Academy. Mi Zhirong's advocate is not to die of reading, but to let students broaden their horizons, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, in addition to teaching the four books and five classics, she also pays attention to the cultivation of students' six arts.
But she didn't understand the "mathematics, astronomy, geography, and humanities" that Ji Ning said, and she didn't know anything about compasses and triangular rulers. The content that she is not good at will make Mi Zhirong resist a little, her beautiful eyes stared at Ji Ning carefully, and said: "What Ji Gongzi said, it is good for students to learn it, but I don't know who will teach it?" Could it be that Ji Gongzi wants to invite Mr. again, or teach the class himself? ”
In terms of speaking and doing things, Mi Zhirong knows how to grasp the key points, and she is also very honest.
If you don't understand, you won't be able to say that you will try it yourself, and Ji Ning wants to open these courses that she is not good at, in her opinion, there is also a contempt for her talent. I won't, you have to find someone else to teach, sincerely let the students think that I am incompetent, and hit the lofty impression of me as a gentleman in the minds of the students, right?
Ji Ning is also a person who is good at considering all aspects of problems, and since he came to see Mi Zhirong, he has considered this aspect.
Ji Ning smiled indifferently and said, "Since Miss Mi is the most respected gentleman in the Sanwei Academy, Ji Mou plans to do so. Teaching a new curriculum, you might as well do this, Ji first writes the new content into a lecture and textbook, and then discusses it with Miss Mi, and Miss Mi will give a lecture to the students, how about it? ”
Mi Zhirong frowned slightly, she understood Ji Ning's intention after a little thought, what did she say "discuss one or two", she didn't know anything about these contents, what was there to discuss? Unless Ji Ning teaches these contents to her first, and then she preaches to the students to solve their doubts.
"Ji Gongzi's intention is to let the concubine become a student of Gongzi and study with Gongzi?" Mi Zhirong's face changed slightly, in this year, who to worship as Mr. and who to learn art from, it is a very grand thing, she does not deny that she also wants to see the miscellaneous science that Ji Ning said, but for this reason, she is still a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Originally, they were both husbands, and they had a reciprocal relationship with each other, at most one was the boss, and the other was an employee invited back by the boss, but she did not sign the deed of sale, and she could pick and choose at any time. But if she worships Ji Ning as her husband, then she will be subject to a lot of constraints.
Ji Ning shook his head slightly and said: "Miss Mi is wrong, the matter of learning is to discuss and learn from each other's strengths, Ji is to learn some miscellaneous learning, but to live in front of Miss Mi is disrespectful to Miss Mi, so it is better to use the way of discussion." Miss Mi discussed with Zai Xia first, and thought that it was necessary to teach the students, and then open a general course, if Miss Mi felt that it was not appropriate...... Then the matter shall be stopped, as if it were never mentioned below. ”
The same words came out of Ji Ning's mouth, but Mi Zhirong felt extremely listening.
After learning knowledge from you, you don't have to treat it with teacher etiquette, which is rare in an era that pays great attention to the dignity of the teacher. At present, all Confucianists, whether they have some kind of thought, or have learning, will cherish themselves and easily do not show others, and even have the saying of "the teacher of one word", to teach you a word of knowledge, you have to worship Mr. first, and the disciple in front of Mr. is not able to raise his head, and even if Mr. wants you to die, you have to obey, which is in line with the Confucian definition of "heaven and earth prince teacher" moral etiquette.
Although Ji Ning also said that Mi Zhirong wanted to learn these miscellaneous studies, and she didn't need to worship Mr., she still said politely: "That concubine really wants to hear Ji Gongzi's high opinions." ”
……
……
Because Ji Ning hadn't written a lecture yet, he just briefly told Mi Zhirong about the content of the lesson.
Mathematics, mainly some simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as multiplication formulas, these are not surprising that even Mi Zhirong understands, but some complex calculation methods, such as unknowns, positive and negative numbers, prime numbers, composite numbers, etc., are not heard of by Mi Zhirong. When Ji Ning talked about some deeper mathematical knowledge such as the Pythagorean theorem, pi, three-dimensional geometry, etc., Mi Zhirong already felt that his brain was not enough.
Ji Ning said: "The way of mathematics is not only to measure and calculate quantities, structures, and changes, but to allow learners to use this to extricate their thinking, to understand the laws of heaven and earth, and to cooperate with astronomy, geography and other knowledge, which can complement each other." ”
"Hmm." For this, even Mi Zhirong agreed, just by hearing Ji Ning's superficial theoretical knowledge, she felt that her mood had become broader, and there was a faint purple qi rising in her heart, which was the embodiment of her literary atmosphere.
But seeing Ji Ning's calm expression and the righteousness between his eyebrows, Mi Zhirong couldn't help but think: "No wonder his bearing is so good, it turns out that he has ten thousand volumes in his chest, if I can learn one or two from him, it must be beneficial to learning." ”
Mi Zhirong smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Ji, please continue." ”
Unconsciously, Mi Zhirong has regarded Ji Ning as a well-educated Confucian gentleman, which is her sincere admiration for Ji Ning.
Ji Ning continued to talk about his "miscellaneous studies", involving astronomy and geography: "...... The way of astronomy lies in the study of the stars and the phases of the stars, but we must realize that the heavens and the earth are not round between the heavens and the earth, and the earth under our feet is not the center of the universe...... Miss Mi, are you listening? ”
In the back, Ji Ning obviously felt that Mi Zhirong's expression was a little dazed, as if he had been stunned.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. Mi Zhirong came back to her senses at this time, thinking of losing her mind in front of Ji Ning, her face turned slightly red and said, "The concubine has indeed seen the great poet and astrologer Su Meiyang of the previous dynasty mentioned in the "Compendium of Stars" that day and day are the midpoint of all things in heaven and earth, and everything is going around the sun, which is similar to what Mr. Ji said. ”
Ji Ning agreed, in fact, the predecessors had begun to have the idea that the earth is not the midpoint of the universe, but they still stayed in the center of the sun and said that this is the progress of the times, but it is not approved by those idealists.
Ji Ning said: "The way of science lies in the knowledge of things, everything should not be attributed to the law, but must continue to explore and study, otherwise the times will stagnate." If someone has some unique views and insights that cannot be written and written, then the idea cannot be continued. Ji wants to open these courses, but also wants more students to contact and explore, and everything is in accordance with the laws of Confucianism. ”
"What Ji Gongzi said is reasonable." Mi Zhirong had a natural smile on her face, and her admiration for Ji Ning in her heart deepened several layers.
