There is also a pavilion on the Shuimu Lake of Fengming Academy, the selected location is very unique, there is a hot spring under the pavilion, in this spring cold time, the white mist curls, making people feel like entering the fairy world. Drinking tea and chatting here will make a difference.

Lao Yan Jian put a special pine tea tray in front of him, and he was washing the cup with a small red clay pot, and after wasting the water, he poured hot water with a temperature of no more than 90 degrees again, held the small pot and shook it a few times, and then squinted a pair of old eyes and poured tea into the small cup. This is the Bai family's special kung fu tea set, the teacup is not as big as a child's fist, and he still refuses to pour it full, only willing to pour seven points.

"Good tea, good tea, the old master's tea is more sophisticated, where is this ordinary tea, which contains the master's cultivation skills, take a sip, you can make people use endlessly"

Meng Ke picked up a cup of kung fu tea, first put it under his nose once, squinted his eyes and tasted it again and again, and then he was willing to take a small sip, gently shake it in his mouth, and wait until his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and then slowly sent it into his throat. At first glance, he was not thirsty, and to make this kind of tea tasting style, it was only possible to drink a full stomach of water.

Qi Diaomiao sat aside, holding a small teacup in his giant palm, and he didn't drink it for a while, and he didn't drink it. He is a kind person, but he can't learn Meng Ke to taste tea so slowly, he will die in a hurry, looking at Yan Jian and Meng Ke, guessing what they are asking him to do? He has a rough personality, people are not stupid, Lao Yan Jian invited him and Meng Ke to come, but he didn't see Wei Yingshendao and Gong Yi Qing Xu Xing, which is equivalent to a small meeting of Confucianism, and it is indispensable to talk about some contentious things.

"Ke. Today is the first day of classes at the College. How do you feel? ”

Old Yan Jian looked at Meng Ke with a smile. Today is the first day of serious school, and in the morning, Bai Dong first held an opening ceremony, and then the first class was Meng Ke's. Meng Ke talked about the Confucian re-canon "Analects", and the response of this course will be directly related to the competition for students, whether it is a worker or a farmer, or a skillful and ingenious, or a country-based agriculture, these are not terrible, the most terrible is the Legalist. Nowadays, the countries are basically in charge of the Legalist people, but after they implement the legislation, the Confucian disciples in the court must unconditionally help implement it, otherwise they will lose their officials or lose their heads, which is unbearable.

At the beginning of the military training, he and Meng Ke both thought that Bai Dong's methods were too cruel and unnecessary, a gentleman wanted to exercise his physique, but a scholar is a scholar. There is no reason to train like a soldier, but as soon as the military training is over. Lao Yanjian and Meng Ke immediately discovered the great effect of military training.

In just fifteen days, these students from Tiannan and Haibei have become familiar and familiar, and now they are so good that they can wear a pair of pants, and even the cold Mu Jing and the jade slave who were originally looked down upon have now successfully integrated into the collective of the academy. The establishment of the collective concept is still secondary, the important thing is that these students have a new look, self-confidence but not arrogance, cautious and not arrogant, cautious and not arrogant, although the school has just started, and the contact with the students is still little, with the old Yan Jian's eyesight, it can be seen that these students have an extra tenacious quality, as if they are iron, they are copper, can not be broken, smashed can not be broken, not steamed, not boiled!

A gentleman cultivates his education, and he should first cultivate himself! With this quality, learning talent is secondary, Lao Yanjian and Meng Ke finally understood why Bai Dong wanted to engage in military training before the official start of school, this kind of 'education' method can definitely turn mediocre talents into talents, talents into geniuses, and achieve a myth in the education world!

Now in the eyes of Lao Yanjian and Meng Ke, these students are treasures, what is the contention of a hundred schools? The premise of contention is that you have to have someone! It's time to grab someone! Of course, it is not to rob openly, but to use Confucian doctrine to convince these students, so that they can preconceive and voluntarily devote themselves to Confucianism; Anyway, Bai Dong has no family faction, and the workers and peasants are obviously not competitive enough, that is, the Legalists are the great enemy, Meng Ke is the first class, this is the time of the day, I must seize the opportunity!

Although the Analects is a small statement, it cannot make them have a good impression of Confucianism by virtue of a single lesson. What's more, the students are now talking about the two courses of Baizi's 'arithmetic' and 'gewu', and they are very interested in these two courses."

"Arithmetic and Gewu? It's just arithmetic, and Gewu will also arouse the interest of students? ”

Old Yan Jian was slightly stunned. There is arithmetic in the six arts of the gentleman, and there are also eight purposes in the "University", such as Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace. After all, arithmetic is a small way, a gentleman can know it, but he can't refine it, otherwise he will become a businessman who must be compared; As for Gewu, it is a relatively vague concept, which has never been put forward as a course, and Confucius once said, "Those who want to be sincere in their intentions must first know it, and they will know it in Gewu." Character and then know, know and then sincerity, sincerity and then the heart, heart and then the body, self-cultivation and then the family, family and then the country, the country and then the world peace', in addition, there is no more explanation for the theory of things.

Even in this era, it is impossible to define 'Gewu', which Confucianism believes is the principle of understanding the root and cultivating the mind; Legalists believe that this is the principle of 'no return to the heart, all to things', and the so-called Gewu is to give up the biased understanding in the heart, and take 'knowing things' as the foundation, for example, laws and regulations are the most 'knowledgeable', not affected by personal positions and emotions. From the perspective of later generations, this view of Legalism is actually closer to 'materialism'.

So in Lao Yan Jian's view, 'Gewu' is at most a concept that makes various families argue, Bai Dong listed the 'Gewu' class on the curriculum, he didn't take it to heart, it was nothing more than Chen saying Confucius's point of view, how many lessons can you support? Listening to Meng Ke's words at this moment, it seems that it is not as simple as he thinks.

"Hey, the final assessment of military training is 'extreme survival', Bai Zi put the precious food sac on the ice lake, but the ice is very thin, and people will fall into the water when they walk up, but a student named Wu Yuan thought of a way to come out"

"By tying a raft to their feet, the students were able to get the food sacs? And the kid praised the students greatly, announced the end of the assessment on the spot, and said to the curious students that the method of taking ice sacs without leaving is the truth of Gewuxue? The so-called Ge Physology is to study and investigate the properties, changes and motion processes of things. 'What a mess this is!' The old man lived to be ninety years old, read more than a thousand books, and never saw a great sage explain 'Gewu' in this way, and he actually called it 'Gewuxue'? This is just a concept, how can it be called a doctrine? According to him, 'self-cultivation' should also be a doctrine, and 'building a family' should also be a doctrine? Ridiculous, ridiculous! Isn't he afraid of misleading people's children? ”

In the era of Bai Jiameng Academy, Lao Yan Jian was very supportive of Bai Dong, a backward young man, how did he see how pleasing this kid was at that time; But now it's a battle of doctrines, that's half a point that can't be conceded by human feelings, in his opinion, Bai Dong is fame at a young age and is dizzy, and he wants to establish a doctrine by taking a sentence from "University"? It's too abrupt, it's not a serious attitude!

"It's not necessarily a mistake for a child, I saw the process of taking ice from the students with my own eyes. With the same layer of ice, why doesn't a raft tied to your feet lead to the ice breaking? I'm afraid there's really some secret in this."

Qi Diao Miao shook his head slightly, obviously he didn't agree with Lao Yan Jian's evaluation of Bai Dong.

"What secrets can there be? This is the same as taking a boat, people can't float on the water, standing on the boat can cross the river and cross the river, it's just a means of craftsmen, what to say, how to talk about a doctrine? Lao Yanjian immediately retorted.

"Old Master Yan is right, but why can the boat float on the water?"

"This is still a question, because the boat is made of wood, and wood can float on water, so can the boat!"

"The old master is right, then why can wood float on water, but not stones?"

"This" Lao Yanjian rolled his eyes: "Are you crazy?" Have you ever seen a rock that floats on water? ”

"I've never seen the lacquer carving, so I want to ask the old master, why is this? Bai Zi has a point, we always take certain things for granted, but we don't ask more why. Gewuxue is to tell us the secrets behind these things, why is this so, old master, are you curious? If you're curious, what about the young students? They're really looking forward to 'Gewuxue', whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe it. ”

Lao Yan Jian and Meng Ke looked at Qi Diao Miao dumbfounded, although Qi Diao is not good at learning in Confucianism, but after all, it is also a big branch of Confucianism, how could they go to Qinling and get into the horns? Why can't stones float on the water, why can't wood? If this is the case, then do you have to ask why birds can fly, but people cannot? Why is there thunder and lightning when it rains? Why, entangled in these inexplicable things all day long, do you still want to respect the retro, or do you want to spread Confucianism? If you're not careful, you might become a demagogue like those alchemists!

Qi Diao Miao put down the kung fu teacup in his hand, looked at Lao Yan Jian and Meng Ke, and sighed: "Now I understand a little bit why Bai Zi wants to have such an exam question, and he really insists on harming people!" The two masters are both educated, and when it comes to the understanding of poetry and books, they are better than lacquer carving, but it is a pity that the deeper the knowledge, the deeper the prejudice, and the brains are imprisoned by themselves. Bai Zi is a true god, and he really didn't say anything wrong. ”

"Qi Diao, are you crazy?"

Old Yan Jian is very unaccustomed to it, when did you dare to point out the descendants of the Yan family even if you were a Confucian sidebranch? How unreasonable! (To be continued......)
