What is a gentleman?

This question is not really difficult, because whether it is the motto of the academy or other teachings of the masters, students are required to be "gentlemen". The scope of the gentleman is wide, and the interpretation of the word gentleman is even more varied, and anyone here can say several answers without thinking.

Therefore, when they heard this topic, many people showed disapproving expressions on their faces, thinking that this new master was nothing more than that.

The following person said: "The gentleman is reserved but not fighting, and the group is not the party." ”

Another person also said: "Don't worry or fear, it's for a gentleman." ”

It is rare to encounter such a simple problem, Cheng Caihe also came to the spirit, and said in a loud voice: "A gentleman wants to be obedient to words, but sensitive to action." ”

Cheng Caihe means that a gentleman should be cautious in his speech and agile in his actions. But everyone looked at the fat man's bloated figure and felt that this could not match him.

Tang Hai kept smiling, looking unfathomable, looked at Lan Qingzhu, and said, "What do you say?" ”

Lan Ming's expression tightened, and he hurriedly stood up, his demeanor was extremely respectful, and said: "The student thinks that Bowen is strong and knowledgeable, and he is good at doing good deeds without slacking off, so he is called a gentleman." ”

A group of students saw that Tang Hai didn't pick so many people, but they chose Lan Qingzhu, and they were even more disdainful in their hearts, and secretly said that they were a sycophant to Shangshu Gongzi. Only the more Tang An looked at Lan Qingzhu, the more eccentric he became, with the temper of this little overlord, he shouldn't be so restrained. Is it really that he feels like he has gone too far, so the prodigal son turns back?

"That's a good point." Tang Hai smiled, "But why can you be called a 'gentleman'?" ”

"This" Lan Qingzhu frowned and thought about it, and said, "This is what the sages said, and it is true. ”

"Who can be infallible in a person's life?" Tang Hai continued to ask.

Lan Qingzhu said: "The ancient sages had great wisdom, and the admonitions they left for future generations throughout their lives would not be wrong. ”

"Yes, the sages are all wise men who report the vicissitudes of life, they have read all kinds of life, through the past and the present, and the summary naturally has its truth and significance." Tang Hai said, changed his words, and said: "But people have different encounters, different moods, and different perceptions, and the nature applicable to them is also different. It's like a bowl of water, some people think it's too hot, and some people think it's just the right amount of warmth, how can you tell if what the ancients said is what you need? ”

Lan Qingzhu's brows furrowed even more, and he lowered his head and thought about it, but he didn't speak.

"It's okay, sit down and think about it." Tang An nodded, letting Lan Qingzhu be pardoned. After looking at it for another week, he said to Tang An, "Are you called Tang An?" ”

With his finger, everyone's eyes were focused again. Many students looked forward to it, hoping that this legendary teenager who couldn't even beat Luo Dongchen could bring them something different.

Tang An was stunned, he never expected him to call himself. Standing up and nodding, he said, "It's the student, what advice does the master have?" ”

Tang Hai looked at him, but he couldn't see any emotion. Said: "Master Tang Ji said that you have only learned people and have quick thinking. Tell me, what do you think of what I just said? ”

Tang Ji, this old man, is still very righteous. Tang An was secretly complacent in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything to refute it. In the first lesson, I dismissed the master's face, isn't this looking for death? smiled at the moment: "Good things need to be used by good people, what the master said is very true, let me wait for the initiation, the mouth suddenly opened, and the students admired." ”

The disdain in Tang Hai's eyes flashed, and he seemed to feel that Tang An was a little wasteful. smiled: "Then you can tell me, can say something like 'bust 700 millet', is such a person a gentleman?" ”

Tang An was shocked, how did this guy know? Could it be that Wang Daxian's storytelling jokes are too famous, and they have all spread to this academy? Obediently, seven feet **, as soon as such a mystery is revealed, he will really become a hungry ghost in the eyes of others in the future.

He must not be allowed to carry out his "crimes"! Having made up his mind, Tang An had an idea and said: "Back to Master, the word gentleman has a wide meaning. Students believe that the strength of a gentleman comes from his personality and heart, not from the surface. A poor peasant who can't read big words but has a kind heart, although his words will be mixed with foul language, he can't say that he is not a gentleman. ”

What kind of rhetoric is this? Doesn't a gentleman mean a person who is talented and upright? The students were surprised at first after listening to Tang An's words, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not easy to refute.

"According to you, can those who are full of obscenities be called 'gentlemen'?" Tang Hai asked, "In other words, if you are a gentleman, how can you relax your requirements for yourself so much?" ”

This sour Confucian, and he is still competing with me! Tang An said: "Master also said that different environments create different states of mind. If that person had been insulted before, why not? If everyone is humiliated and not repaid, what about the nation? Is it okay to swallow your anger? Therefore, in the student's opinion, if the premise of that person is to be humiliated and fight back, he is definitely a brave and knowledgeable gentleman. ”

This guy will put gold on his face. Tang Haidao: "Confucianism is still 'benevolent', if there is no benevolence in the heart, everything is not to compete with others for temporary gains and losses, such a mind, how can you be a gentleman?" ”

"The students thought that a gentleman should fight. Small competition for personal honor and disgrace, big competition for the world's gains and losses. is not only open-minded, but also deeply aware of the righteousness, the loss of words is negligible. Tang An said.

Tang Hai said unrelentingly: "If you ignore your mistakes for your own interests, then how can you talk about national affairs?" ”

"My husband also said that what suits you is the best. Everyone has a definition of a gentleman in their hearts, some people are homesick, some people are nostalgic for the country, as long as they work hard in the direction of the gentleman in their minds, they are their own gentlemen. Tang An also riveted and said, "Actually, when a gentleman says it, whether it is right or wrong." People have different insights and experiences, so for different people, keeping their hearts is a gentleman. In the eyes of students, as long as it has nothing to do with morality, what should be fought for must be fought for, as long as a person is worthy of heaven and deeds, he is a gentleman. ”

"Good!"

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and the rest of the people responded one after another, and the applause continued for a while. The two asked tricky questions and debated wonderfully, and the students were attentive and fascinated, and they never imagined that they could see such a good show in class.

Tang Hai was silent for a while, his eyes flickering, as if he was quite amazed by Tang An's intelligence. After a while, he said: "Mr. Tang Ji said that you can learn and apply what you have learned, but now it seems to be true. I hope you can do what you say, be worthy of heaven and earth. ”

"The students were taught." Tang An said. A smile appeared on his face, but he scolded this guy in his heart. Grandma's, you don't call the room full of people, you call it Lao Tzu, and ask such a perverted dialectical question, is Lao Tzu just a scholar!

Tang An looked around again and said, "Actually, although this lesson is about 'gentlemen', I think everyone should understand something from my words: what you learn is the life of others. If it is only regarded as the exhortation of the sages, it will always be the wealth of the sages. Just like thinking about the word 'gentleman', what exactly is a gentleman? What kind of gentleman do you want to be? Everyone should ask themselves. In this regard, you should learn from Tang An. ”

After listening to the master's words, the students pondered carefully and felt that they all made a lot of sense. On weekdays, I will only blindly read hard, thinking that if I have memorized the classics of the sages, I can be regarded as understanding the true meaning of the gentleman, but now that I think about it, it is really a little ridiculous. Only by choosing the good for one's own use is the way to achieve great success.

Thinking of this, people invariably looked at Tang An. Secretly sighing that although this person is a scholar, but his knowledge and understanding of knowledge has left him far behind, and even the master can't defeat him, which is really admirable.

"To be a man is to think well, and good thinking can lead to success." Tang Hai said, staring at Tang An with burning eyes, "This is the first lesson I want to teach you." ”

The students fell silent. Tang Hai's words were concise and to the point, but they caused everyone's thinking, which also made Tang An secretly admire. It can resonate with students, jump out of the thinking that other masters only know to let students memorize, and use layers of questions to tell students the role of thinking, laying the groundwork for future learning, which is a manifestation of progress in this era.

This master is really not simple!

Tang Hai's words greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the students. The students knew exactly how to learn, and there was a role model like Tang An, so the next lessons were listened to very carefully and the efficiency was greatly improved. Although Tang An didn't say anything, he was very satisfied with the students' performance. Before you know it, a class is over, and many students are even a little unsatisfied.

In class, Tang Hai first called Lan Qingzhu, but he was embarrassed and couldn't continue, but Tang An talked eloquently, and was promoted by the master as a role model, which made Cheng Caihe, who was the master, happy, and walked up to Lan Qingzhu with a smile, and said: "I said Wang Balan, you are a little bully who only knows how to fight all day long, what kind of gentleman are you talking about?" ”

Lan Qingzhu was robbed of the limelight by Tang An, and he was already full of unhappiness, but he was ridiculed by this fat man, and he was angry, and said: "Cheng nerd, you guy, who has a straw belly, is also worthy of talking to me about a gentleman?" ”

"What's not to talk about?" Cheng Fatzi said arrogantly, "Lao Tzu's scholars are better than you, what qualifications do you have to argue with Lao Tzu?" ”

"Hmph, I only know that it's ridiculous to take other people's achievements to set up a stage for yourself." Lan Qingzhu said disdainfully, "Aren't you just relying on a Tang An?" ”

"yes, but do you?" Cheng Fatzi didn't refute it, and said with a smile.

"You" Lan Qingzhu's face turned pale, and he flicked his sleeves and said, "Cheng Fatty, don't deceive people too much!" If there is no Tang An, the stupid brain pointing at you is not even worthy of lifting my shoes! ”

"Fart! Tell me, what is Lao Tzu who can't compare to you? Cheng Caihe was not convinced.

Lan Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "Don't talk about it, just in terms of women's fate, you are far behind." I've drunk 'clear water and clear streams' with the Ziying girl of 'Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion', what about you? Don't say that if you drink with others, you can't make them open their eyes and look at you. ”

"You dog-eyed Wang Balan, how do you know that Lao Tzu can't do it?" Cheng Cai and the angry and corrupt way. The fat man knows the shortcomings of being wide and fat, and no girl has ever looked at him differently, which has always been the heart disease of this fat man. Lan Qingzhu's words just hit his weakness.

"Okay, if you really want to compare, then let's compare." Lan Qingzhu said, "Tonight coincides with the 'Flying Snow Yue Lan Pavilion' to have a dance reward, it is said that the 'singing and dancing' Liu Dumping Song Liu girl will be on stage in person, if you are not convinced, let's go and see, who can drink a glass of 'clear water and clear stream' with everyone there!" ”

"It's better than that, I'm afraid that you won't make it!" Cheng Caihe gritted his teeth.

"It's a gambling fight, and it's a bit of a lottery." Thinking of losing to this fat man in guessing the lantern riddle that day, Lan Qingzhu was unwilling and said: "If anyone loses, they will paste a note of 'I am a straw bag' in the coming day, and they are not allowed to take it off for a day." ”

"Why, don't you think the money you gave last time was enough?" Cheng Caihe won for a while, his confidence increased greatly, and he said arrogantly: "Lao Tzu and our Tang An will definitely accompany you to the end!" ”

Tang An on the side smiled bitterly, this dead fat man, why do you want to pull me in everything! In addition to his own inability, he is also willing to fight with others, which is really an unconscious master. Lao Tzu is a scholar, he eats, drinks and Lazar everything, and it seems that he should consider more salary when he goes back.

However, Feixue Yue Lan Pavilion, what is that place?
