After the beginning of spring, the weather in Liuzhou City gradually warmed up. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under Tang Zhou's vigorous supervision, the school and college were finally completed on a warm spring day.

After the completion of the Academy, those students who have previously registered will be able to come to school.

On the first day of school, Tang Zhou, the honorary dean, gathered all the students and gentlemen together, and he was going to hold an entrance ceremony.

And the reason why Tang Zhou is only the honorary dean is because he is the assassin of Liuzhou City, and he is afraid that he will not stay here for a few years, so after he leaves, in order to ensure that his measures can continue to be implemented, he needs to find someone who can fully implement his philosophy.

He found someone to be the dean, this person is called Zhang Ji, an old Confucian student in his fifties, knowledgeable, the key is to agree with Tang Zhou's ideas, so even if Tang Zhou leaves Liuzhou City, under the leadership of Zhang Ji, the academic wind in Liuzhou will not stagnate because of Tang Zhou's departure.

Everyone arrived, the scene was not grand, after all, there were only a few hundred people, these people were all passing Confucian clothes, the older ones stood together, and the younger ones stood together, forming a very sharp contrast.

And it is precisely because of the sharp contrast that Tang Zhou and others are excited, because there are big and small, they feel that this cause can be continued, otherwise if only small it will inevitably seem too influential, but if it is only big, it feels powerless.

It is only when college students and elementary school students stand together that they give people hope.

The so-called entrance ceremony is actually very simple, it is to worship Confucius, and then let some gentlemen speak.

Of course, although everyone worships Confucius, Tang Zhou's concept is to teach students according to their aptitude, and this is really replaced by Confucius, but it was slowly abandoned by later generations, but he is ready to pick it up again.

The general direction is definitely to study Confucianism, but if some students like astronomy and geography, Legalism or something, he will also support it, of course, a yin and yang family like Li Chunfeng is forgotten, Tang Zhou doesn't believe in this.

Worshipping Confucius is a very solemn thing, and even people like Zhang Ji follow suit, and after this worship, it is the speech of some gentlemen, who mostly want to persuade these students to study hard and so on.

After these gentlemen finished speaking, Tang Zhou stood up, and after he stood up, he didn't say some high-sounding truths, he just looked at so many people below and asked: "After all kinds of twists and turns, everyone finally entered Liuzhou Academy and Liuzhou College, then I have to ask you a question, so why study?" ”

Why Read?

It's an easy question to answer, but it's not that easy to answer.

The child was not afraid of things, and after Tang Zhou finished asking, a person stood up: "I don't want to be deceived, so I want to study." ”

Tang Zhou nodded: "This is a reason, reading makes people smart, reading makes us understand a lot of truths, and if we understand a lot of truths, we will naturally not be deceived, but this is only the most basic reason, who can give me other reasons?" ”

Children don't have much utilitarianism, and the reason they say is just what their parents usually tell him, asking them to study hard and not to be deceived in the future, but the students in those colleges are different, and they naturally don't just position the purpose of learning as not to be deceived.

"Little Marquis, studying in his later years is to be an official and get ahead."

Many people read for this purpose, but few people say this purpose, because it is too worldly, but after someone really says this purpose, no one will have any opinion about this purpose, everyone is the same, even if it is worldly, they will not make fun of it.

Tang Zhou didn't make fun of these people either, he nodded: "That's right, if you study and learn, you will have the opportunity to become an official, and you will have the opportunity to get ahead, but what about after becoming an official?" ”

"Mencius Zeng Yun, Da is also good for the world, if he is an official in his later life, he must be a good official."

Many people become officials just to get ahead, to improve their lives, and to make themselves rich, but no official has ever dared to say this, and it can be said that he wants to be an official when he is studying, but he can't say that he wants to be an official, so they must find a better reason.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are some people who really want to be a good official, maybe many people just want to be a good official before they become officials, but they just enter the officialdom and are used to all kinds of darkness, so they naturally deviate from their original intentions.

One person stood up and said such a sentence, Tang Zhou nodded: "Very good, being a good official, this is the wish of many scholars, but it is not easy to be a good official, in the face of various temptations, can you not forget your original intention?" ”

Speaking of this, the students in the audience looked at each other and whispered, Tang Zhou saw them like this, and wrote two lines on a whiteboard:

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people,

For the sake of the saints, for the sake of eternal peace.

When Tang Zhou wrote down these two lines of words, everyone was surprised, what such two lines of words meant, many people are clear, and it is precisely because they are clear that they will be surprised, because these two lines of words and Mencius's sentence of Da will help the world, and the poor will be good to themselves has the same strength.

"Studying, you don't have to be an official, but you need to be clear about your heart, you have to set up your heart for yourself at the beginning of studying, in fact, your heart is also a will, you have to set an ambition for yourself, and then unswervingly stick to it, to work hard. Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, if you can do one of them, you should be worthy of your heart. ”

After Tang Zhou finished speaking, the students below immediately became excited, these four sentences can be used as a word of encouragement for their readers, in fact, they should also take this as their goal.

Not only these students were excited, but even those gentlemen were also excited, excited as if they had a thousand words to say, and these four sentences were enough for them to use for a lifetime.

And these four sentences also give them a goal.

Maybe they won't be able to pass the Jinshi exam in their lifetime, but it should be very good to be a gentleman to teach and educate people, right?

In fact, these four sentences seem to make the reader determined to set up his heart for heaven and earth, establish his life for the people, continue his education for the saints, and open peace for all generations, but if you think about it carefully, as long as you can abide by it and not lose your heart, you can be regarded as having completed your life obligations.

Zhang Ji framed these four sentences of Tang Zhou and hung them in the academy, he wanted to let no matter how many generations of students in the future know why they want to study, and also let the students who left here know that at the beginning of the establishment of their academy, there was a talented man, a knowledgeable person, and a person who was almost a saint who said such a sentence.

He also wanted these people to know that this person was the founder of Liuzhou Academy.

The entrance ceremony was over, and everyone's hearts were very excited, and after listening to Tang Zhou's words, they subtly changed their purpose of coming here to study.
