For example, in this environment, Liu Xiu is like a fish in water.

Liu Xiu's teacher, Mr. Xu Ziwei, is a competent and responsible literati.

There are not many records of him in historical materials, and he may be mediocre in all aspects, if his moral integrity is too good or too bad, the historian will definitely write a big book, because he is Liu Xiu's teacher.

Liu Xiuxuan studied "Shu", also known as "Shangshu" and "Shujing". Or to be more precise, he chose to study Shujing, and it is modern Shujing.

Liu Xiu's academic performance is very good.

Here's what to say.

Because authoritative historical books such as "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" and "Taiping Yulan" talk about Liu Xiu's study, it is "a little general righteousness" and "a slight act of righteousness", many people think that his academic performance is not good.

Even, some people contacted him about other activities during his school years, saying that he was not doing his job, which is very debatable.

I'm sorry, I haven't seen Liu Xiu's transcript, let alone been a classmate with him, so I can't listen to the evaluation of his teachers and classmates.

However, the records of authoritative historical records and the fact that he studied and worked hard all his life show that his academic performance in Taixue was very good.

How did we say that Liu Xiu became the most capable emperor? One of the most important points is that he not only has a high degree of education, but also has the academic ability to match it:

He was too student, he had a good academic record, and more importantly, he was able to apply what he had learned!

Don't worry, because this is an important issue, and I have to make it clear, so please pay attention.

In the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, there were differences and controversies between the two versions of modern scriptures and ancient scriptures, and the teaching content in Taixue was mainly modern scriptures, while the main textbook of private studies was ancient scriptures.

Of course, Liu Xiu could not choose the version of the textbook after entering the school, but the ideological connotation and method of studying literature and classics have profoundly influenced him.

So, what is the difference between modern and ancient texts?

It turned out that when Qin Shi Huang unified the world, in order to let the people of the whole country think about problems with one head, he engaged in "burning books and pit Confucianism". This period of history is well known to everyone, but it was actually a cultural catastrophe, and almost all the Confucian classics were destroyed.

By the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the popular Confucian classics had almost no old texts, and relied mainly on the dictation of surviving scripture teachers and their students to record them. The text used by the students to record is the official script that was common in the Western Han Dynasty, which belongs to the "Jinwen" at that time, so this kind of scripture is called "Jinwen Jingshu".

When Qin Shi Huang burned books, several Confucian scholars risked their lives to hide some Confucian books. These books were discovered and sorted out one after another in the Han Dynasty. Because these books were written in the small seal script font that was common in the pre-Qin period, they were called "ancient scriptures".

Although the main content of these two classics is the Confucian classics, their spiritual connotations and methods of learning are very different.

Today's literature and scriptures pay attention to the meaning of small words.

After all, this kind of textbook is dictated and recorded by the masters, and no one can remember it so accurately and completely, and the students only need to "read it a little according to their intentions". At the same time, the modern literature and classics also pay attention to the combination of theory and practice, introduce the popular theories such as the theory of yin and yang and the five elements, publicize the divine authority of the monarch, and explain natural phenomena and personnel changes according to the needs of the society and politics at that time.

Ancient scriptures pay attention to the exegesis of famous objects, require the scriptures to be taught according to the meaning of the words, pay attention to research, and things that are not in the scriptures cannot be ripped off.

At the same time, ancient scriptures are also opposed to the supernatural.

The monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty were not very interested in ancient scriptures, and it was inconvenient to speak too bluntly, so they did not let it enter the official classroom, and only let it be used as a teaching material for private learning for everyone to learn and play.

After a long time, everyone understands:

Liu Xiu entered Taixue, and his teacher was Mr. Xu Ziwei, a teacher of modern literature and economics and a doctor at CUHK; The textbook is "Jinwen Shangshu"; The study requirement is to grasp the essence of the spirit, "just read a little according to its meaning", and pay attention to integrating theory with practice.

Therefore, when historians say that he "understands the great righteousness" and "the righteousness is slightly moved", it does not mean that he "does not learn very well" or "only knows the general idea", but that he has a good grasp of the spiritual essence of the "Jinwen Shangshu"!

Not only that, Liu Xiu is different from other students, he is not the kind of person who is dry and yellow, he is very good at combining theory and practice, learning and practice!

In the Taixue classroom, the teaching of modern literature and scriptures is very boring and hard.

But Liu Xiu likes it very much, he learns and uses it fully, which not only understands the essence, but also uses it freely.

This period of study and life has benefited Liu Xiu for life, and we might as well say a few more words.

At that time, fine paper had not yet been invented, and textbooks were written with bamboo slips, wooden slips, and silk, and there were no pens, pencils, computers, and projectors, so writing was very laborious. It is precisely the teaching method that the teacher dictates, the students record, and the teacher plays in the sky, sometimes even using tens of thousands of words to explain a sentence. If the teacher is slurred or has a dialect, it will be a real pain for the students.

Therefore, it is certain that whoever studied in Taixue at that time needed to use his brain, and it was also an individual work.

Some people from elementary school to old age still don't understand a classic; Some even buried their heads day and night, memorized hard work, and finally died of exhaustion under the lonely lamp.

What to do?

For many people, there is no one in the DPRK and China, and they want to be officials, so they can only study hard. Although you may not be able to become an official if you study well, there is hope after all. Also, a small number of children of official eunuchs also tried their best to read in Taixue in order to be elegant.

Although the imperial court repeatedly said that it should strengthen quality education and arrange for the deletion of chapters and verses of the scriptures, it did not have much effect.

It can be seen that the issue of quality education was raised at the latest in the late Han Dynasty, but it has not been solved for more than 2,000 years, which is worth pondering.

I think the key is the policy orientation, that is, the lack of a scientific talent evaluation system.

The social evaluation system in all walks of life and all aspects is too important, and it is the basis and basis for the allocation of social resources and the distribution of social data.

However, this kind of social evaluation system, including the talent evaluation system, is often not taken seriously, and is even deliberately confused by people with ulterior motives.

The former is a matter of people's level of understanding, while the latter is a matter of conspirators trying to fish in troubled waters.

We don't want to go too far, let's look at the example in front of us.

If this problem is solved, many problems in education and in the field of cadres and personnel can be easily solved.

For example, when Emperor Wu was a student, as long as he passed the exam, he could become an official, and the more subjects he passed the scriptures, the higher the official position he was awarded.

When Liu Xiu went to Taixue, although everyone did not necessarily have official work after graduation, to be an official, he had to do well in the exam.

So, when how well they do on exams is the main criterion for evaluating students, what student (and their parents) doesn't focus on coping with exams?!

Coincidentally, being an official is also like this, mainly based on relationships, everyone sharpens their heads to find relationships; Mainly based on academic qualifications, everyone swarms to engage in academic qualifications; The main thing is to look at the political achievements, and everyone will try their best to get the political achievements that they can see.

In short, the talent evaluation system is very important because of quality education and employment mechanism.

Okay, we know Liu Xiu's classroom life in general, now let's see what he does outside of class.
