More than 20 people who seemed to be gentlemen greeted Chen Fei, and these were the literati recruited by Ning Shuyu who were willing to work as teachers. Strictly speaking, Chen Fei could see at a glance that they were not very qualified teachers, and their academic level was only in literacy or had a certain level of culture. However, Chen Fei is not qualified to pick and choose the fat and thin, that is, Chen Fei does not have so many talents to choose from now, and it is good to have these people.
Chen Fei actually hopes to transform the students they have cultivated into teachers, so that they can continue to pass them on. And this academy is currently renting a large mansion, which can accommodate thousands of people. Of course, this is the result of using all the space, and if it is only for the rich and noble, it can accommodate more than 100 people at most. But as a classroom, it doesn't have to be such a good condition.
"Well, that's good! The conditions are still relatively poor, and it is impossible to make it too good. We first rented a house as a school, and then built a suitable school ourselves when the conditions were ready. Chen Fei said.
"Chen County Order, what is the name of this academy? All academies must have their own names, some are named after places, some are named after the founders, and there are other naming methods. Excuse me, how does Chen Xianling plan to name this academy? Ning Shuyu asked.
Chen Fei immediately took the initiative to say to Princess Wanchun, "Princess." Why don't you name it? ”
Princess Wanchun took the initiative to shake her head and said, "Forget it, I still don't reconcile with this kind of thing." I'm just responsible for providing a steady stream of money to support the college, and I don't want to worry about anything else. And since it was Chen Fei who took the initiative to establish the academy, it was named by Chen Fei. ”
Chen Fei thought for a while, and then took the initiative to say, "Since that's the case." It's called 'Qiushi Academy'. Seeking truth comes from the word seeking truth from facts. It means that I hope that the future students of this academy can seek truth from facts, not be superstitious about various authorities, and be able to have a realistic character. Right is right, wrong is wrong, and everything must be based on seeking truth from facts. If you can't get realistic. Then don't admit that you are a graduate of Qiushi Academy. ”
"Good! Seeking truth from facts, good! "Immediately there was a bit of sycophancy.
Chen Fei continued: "Qiushi Academy is the highest teacher, that is, not only the top, not only the official. Everything is punished by facts. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, there is only truth in this world, and there is no authoritarian oppression that can make the students of Qiushi Academy submit, this is also seeking truth from facts! ”
"Good! Chen Xianling said well, we are scholars that we must seek truth from facts, if we succumb to power and power, then what kind of scholar should we be? If you give in to the power, wouldn't you be worthy of the teachings of the saints? Someone said.
Chen Fei for Confucianism. Actually, it's not really outright opposition. In fact, Chen Fei has seen from later generations that Confucianism in different periods actually has completely different meanings. Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Confucianism in the Dong Zhongshu Period during the Emperor Wu Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Actually, it's not the same thing at all. The Confucianism of the Ming and Qing dynasties was also different from the Confucianism of the Tang Dynasty. Even during the Ming Dynasty, there were different schools of thought with different interpretations.
As for those Confucianism that later generations hated, they were actually nothing more than those dross. Later generations attributed all the blame to Confucianism, which is actually very unfair. Although Confucianism was deposed back then, this does not mean that there is no school of Confucianism. And there are also differences between different schools of thought within Confucianism. Confucianism, on the other hand, is a very undisciplined school of learning, and they will follow the demands of the rulers to improve themselves. Rather than Confucianism later, it was a misunderstanding of the country. It's not so much the need of the ruler.
Chen Fei established this Qiushi Academy and advocated the idea of seeking truth from facts. The main thing is to hope that the idea of seeking truth from facts can really enter the hearts of the people. As an educational cause, it is absolutely impossible to succumb to power and authority. If you can succumb to authoritarianism, then this education is a complete failure. As a scholar, you must also have a realistic mentality, otherwise any of his academic achievements will be untenable. If you don't have a realistic mindset, then I'm afraid the whole world will go crazy. Chen Fei remembered that there was a period of time in later generations that there was a high-yield field with a yield of 130,000 catties per mu, and there were so-called famous scientists who put forward theories about making good use of sunlight, that is, it can be done.
Chen Fei despised this kind of person in his heart. But in that era, scientists also succumbed to power and chose to cooperate. This is so sad, so Chen Fei doesn't want to repeat this result again, Chen Fei is also advocating seeking truth from facts. Only by letting the idea of seeking truth from facts really enter everyone's heart, can no right threaten them to change the truth of the facts, and cannot change the so-called scientific facts through the so-called rights. Chen Fei hopes that there will be a group of people who will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the sake of truth, so that the foundation of a nation's prosperity is fundamental.
The cultural and educational profession must first of all have the character of seeking truth from facts, and if they give up their discipline for the sake of power and threats, then they will also be devastating to the spirit of the entire nation. As a teacher who teaches and educates people, he has influenced countless future generations, so the first thing teachers should pay attention to is spiritual quality, and knowledge is secondary.
"Chen County Order, please inscribe it!" Ning Shuyu said.
"......" Chen Fei was speechless.
Chen Fei scolded Ning Shuyu in his heart, isn't this a pit for himself? Chen Fei is a later generation, not accustomed to using a brush, although after more than half a year of brush training, but only can be understood. Chen Fei's level to inscribe, doesn't this make Chen Fei look foreign? It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary official document, but what I want to write now is a college plaque, and this is something that will be handed down for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. If Chen Fei wrote such a bad word on such an important plaque, it would not be ashamed to throw it to future generations!
"Forget it, princess, you have the highest status here, you can come to the inscription." Chen Fei said.
Princess Wanchun made a gesture that wanted to laugh, obviously not daring to compliment Chen Fei's font.
