"Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are in the sky, the cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvest and the winter hide ,...。" , Longevity Temple, in a corner room, came the sound of Xin Xin students reading aloud.

"Do you remember?" , there is the sound of reading, what to do here, it goes without saying. I saw a room, Li Chen sat at the front of the room, holding a book, shaking his head and reading it, and on his left hand side was the door.

In front of him were several small tables, eight schoolchildren, nine positions. These schoolchildren are both old and young, the youngest is seven or eight years old, and the oldest is only a little over ten years old, almost as old as Fanfan. also shook his head like Li Chen, Li Chen read a sentence, and they recited a sentence.

Why did Li Chen suddenly stop the account room and become a teacher instead? Actually, no. This is a school attached to the Longevity Temple, and Li Chen has recently begun to serve as the enlightenment teacher of the school.

Of course, he didn't quit working as a bookkeeper, but the abbot asked him if he was willing to serve as a schoolboy teacher. Originally, he was in charge of this position, that is, he went out to get a good name, but the abbot wanted to find another person, but he couldn't find it at once, so he asked Li Chen to temporarily take on the role. And Li Chen agreed to come down in order to have more income.

As mentioned earlier, Tang Dynasty temples are not like modern temples, and there are many modern temples that do not have attached buildings, part of which is the function of a school.

Not an exception, many temples have schools attached to them for people to study. As for the level, it is completely uneven. It's not that it's too bad, but it's good. There are also temples that have to teach the disciples of the middle and jinshi. How do you know? Look at the end of the volume to know, usually write a certain temple school, passerby A like this.

As for the poor study, it is mainly because there were no standard textbooks in the Tang Dynasty, and whether they learn well or poorly depends entirely on the students' understanding. Of course, it is also important that the teacher can teach, but the most important thing is to look at the student.

It can be seen from the age that many students go to school, which is nothing more than a literacy, and they can find a more promising job in the future, such as the account room, well, cough, about this, Li Chen absolutely solemnly said that the account work is not easy to do.

So what did the Tang Dynasty schoolchildren learn? Deepening a little, Li Chen doesn't know very well, he teaches enlightenment. He can't teach otherwise, Li Chen is very self-aware, and with his knowledge of Chinese culture, he can only be a little more advanced than the illiterate.

What did the enlightenment of the Tang Dynasty teach? The well-known three-character scripture was completed in the Song Dynasty, and the most widely known in the Tang Dynasty was the thousand-character text. The thousand-character text probably appeared in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the content of the thousand words is not repeated, and it is easy to read and remember, four words and one sentence, the dual rhyme is not said, the content is all-inclusive, astronomy and geography, and many things of the sages are included in it.

"No, can the Master read it again?" "I remember." "Master, I remember." "I remembered it and forgot it." The schoolchildren answered in a piecemeal manner. Some said they remembered, and some didn't.

"Then we're reading it again. Read it to the Master.'" , Li Chen picked up the textbook. This textbook is a textbook given to him by the abbot, and he can read the first few sentences of the thousand-character text, and he doesn't know the back, but fortunately there is a textbook, otherwise he wouldn't dare to mislead people's children.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are shining, the cold comes and the summer comes, and the autumn harvest and winter are hidden." The student picks up a piece of paper and reads it on it. This is Li Chen's handwritten course materials.

Pinyin text, get the book in hand, know the pronunciation rules, even if you don't know it, you can read it. Chinese is not good, there is a side reading, not the middle of the middle, can not be used as a pronunciation standard. Not to mention the fact that these are completely illiterate. So Li Chen spent a lot of effort, copied for half a month, copied eight sheets of thousand-character texts, and used them as teaching materials for these schoolchildren.

"I miss the photocopier... Copying these 8,000 words is really painful to me.'" , Li Chen didn't know how those teachers taught illiterate schoolchildren. Li Chen followed the learning experience gained in his previous life and prepared the teaching materials by himself, so he had to do it himself without textbooks. Copying these 8,000 words really tortured him to death.

will do this, mainly to practice calligraphy, Li Chen took this matter as a practice of writing. It doesn't matter if the writing is good or bad, anyway, there are textbooks for them to read, and they have tried their best. However, he is not stupid and this time.

"Okay, I can read it, in order to deepen my memory, everyone will copy this textbook carefully." , Li Chen's wishful thinking is good, and the hard work is hard this time. He painstakingly copied a copy for the schoolchildren to read. The student then made another copy. After that, you will give enlightenment to others, so you don't have to work hard to copy it yourself.

"Write slowly, don't be in a hurry, think clearly in your heart first, and write slowly one stroke at a time." , Li Chen softly taught these children how to write, so that they did not need to be in a hurry.

At this time, someone passed by outside the window, Li Chen didn't care much about it, but it was wrong to think about it, this is a relatively remote corner of Changshou Temple, and no one usually passes by.

Sure enough, the figure stopped outside the window, and Li Chen looked at it, and it was actually the abbot. So he got up and walked outside, "Abbot." "Well, Li Langjun has worked hard, and he is teaching them." "Yes, let them learn to write slowly, and copy the thousand-character text first." , the abbot nodded and did not speak.

"The thousand-character essay is a little more difficult, if you want to teach them to write, you can use the Chinese character script." , what is that? Li Chen was a little dumbfounded.

"I don't have that." "Come to Poor Daona in the afternoon." , the abbot looked at it again, and then said, "This enlightenment matter, please Li Langjun pay more attention." "It's nature."

"And tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Ceremony, so I can let the students come and see it." After speaking, the abbot nodded to Li Chen and left.

"Tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival, so you can rest for the day. If you want to come, you can come and see it earlier." After the abbot left, Li Chen returned to the classroom, let's call it the classroom.

"Master, what is the Buddha Bathing Festival?" , there are schoolchildren who ask questions, they are very regular, and they know how to raise their hands, which is also what Li Chen taught.

"The Buddha Bathing Festival is the day when Shakyamuni Buddha was born, and the Buddha was born and bathed for the first time." , Li Chen replied.

The Buddha Bathing Festival is one of the three important festivals of Buddhism. Its origin has been mentioned above, but the time is not fixed. There doesn't seem to be a unified time, there is the eighth day of the second month, and the eighth day of the fourth month of the Longevity Temple. There is also the eighth day of the twelfth month.

Generally speaking, it's either February or April. Because there is an important date in December, Laba Festival. On this day, Laba congee is served. Laba is the day when Shakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment.

Explained the Buddha Bathing Festival, also known as the origin of the Buddha's birthday, the schoolchildren were very quiet to write, Li Chen walked over one by one to see, he didn't know how to write calligraphy, but the impression of learning before the world is still there. He corrected the bad posture of the schoolchildren and told them to write slowly and not to be in a hurry.

"Okay, that's almost the end of today's lesson." , Li Chen returned to his seat, clapped his hands and said, "Then we have to tell the story next."

"Storytelling, storytelling" Those schoolchildren, who were so patient that they almost had to put down their pens and wait to listen to the story, shouted at the moment.

"Quiet." , Li Chen tapped a few times lightly, and seeing that the schoolchildren were quiet, Li Chen continued, "Where did you say last time, does anyone remember?"

"Master, Master, I remember." A white and chubby schoolboy raised his hand and said, "Last time, Aunt Feng went to find the Hundred Flowers Fairy."

"yes, but. Then let's move on today.'" , Li Chen recalled for a moment and said, "It is said that Aunt Feng heard the words of the Hundred Flowers Fairy, and said on the side: "According to what the fairy aunt said, it is difficult to be cautious, and you must not go against the sky. But Mei is a one-year-old leader, and it is released in spring, all of them. Why is there a difference in October on the mountain? The so-called fairy aunt has extremely strict orders and does not dare to be uneven? The Taoist people in the world take flowers as a play, and the cloth is planted and sprouted, and the flowers bloom instantly. The so-called fairy aunt is the most secret, and the one who is released on the expiration date is safe? …』

Li Chen talked about a chapter, explained the meaning, and saw that the time was almost up, so he let the schoolchildren leave class.

"Oh, it's not easy to be an enlightenment teacher." , Li Chen stretched. Originally, Li Chen thought that being an enlightenment teacher was very simple. If he really wants to be Mr. Xixi, he will never do it, he asks himself if he has that ability.

But when the enlightenment teacher, in Li Chen's mind, it is just to teach them to read some thousand-character texts and the like, as well as the ninety-nine multiplication table, which is very simple.

By the way, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a ninety-nine multiplication table, "Ninety-nine-eighty-one, ninety-eighty-two, ninety-one as nine... One and the same.' , This is the ninety-nine multiplication table of the Tang Dynasty, which is not quite the same as the modern one, and the Tang Dynasty is backwards, which is very simple, and it is difficult for Li Chen.

The problem is that children are really difficult to serve, and some of them are quieter, but several children can't sit still because they have needles on their buttocks. In desperation, Li Chen took out the magic weapon of coaxing Fande, told a story, and tried to see if he could make them quieter.

As a result, it really works. Some of the children who are very naughty can sit down and be quiet for a while in class in order to listen to the story. No way, do you think there were many fairy tale books for children in the Tang Dynasty?

"Thirteen, Thirteen." Just as Li Chen was about to get up, Li Fan poked his head out of the window. "You're running again, you're not going to read the Bible, you're here to do something." Of course, he knew what Fan was running to do, but at the moment he pretended not to know.

"Hehe, Thirteen Lang, you know that I came to listen to the story, can you tell me the story first?" , Fan pestered Li Chen, and wanted to listen to the story later.

"Listen to the story..., my cup is empty." "I'll pretend to be right away." "I'm a little tired." "Thirteen, I'll help you rub your shoulders." , teased Fan a little, Li Chen didn't embarrass him too much, for Fan, in fact, Li Chen really treated him as a younger brother, pretending to embarrass him twice, and then continued the story just now.

He said that the story was called Jinghuayuan. He didn't know about that dynasty, but according to his thoughts, it was either Ming or Qing. As far as the times are concerned, it is a matter of the Celestial Empire. Originally, Li Chen didn't want to say it, because he was worried about committing taboos.

He knew that in all dynasties, there were always some taboos. After the founding of New China, no one cared about those things anymore, so modern people didn't care at all. But he is now in the Tang Dynasty, and some Tang people are familiar with taboos, and he doesn't know it, and there is a very good chance that something will go wrong. But after thinking about the content and the current situation, he still said it.

First of all, he considered that he was talking to some children, and even if there were any taboos, these children probably didn't understand.

Secondly, in terms of content, Jinghuayuan is talking about some things about overseas countries in the Tang Dynasty, and what problems he intends to have, he will blame overseas customs for differences. So Li Chen thought about it, and it shouldn't be bad, so he took Jinghuayuan as the most Tang story and told it to the schoolchildren.

"Don't say it, don't say it." , Li Chen read a short paragraph of Jinghua Yuan to Fan to listen to, and then stopped talking, "I have been in class for half a day, and I am very tired." "Okay." He was glad to hear it.

"By the way, let me ask you what is the practice of Chinese characters?" What is Xiziwen? After the abbot left, Li Chen had been thinking about this question, and then he suddenly thought that he should understand.

Listening to this name, it seems that the Tang Dynasty schoolchildren learned the calligraphy, and Lifan also went to school in the temple and was taught by the Huiming Zen master, so he should know.

"This is the practice of the word, Thirteen Lang, haven't you learned it?" , Fan took a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, Li Chen picked up the paper, and only then did he understand what this Chinese character is. Actually, it's nothing, just 25 words.
