Chapter 61: The Fundamentals of Civilization
"This matter must be resolved as much as possible! The writings of the sages are fundamental, how can they be neglected? In this matter, Xu Jiaoyu must mention the county school and try his best to cooperate! This county must be personally concerned! ”
Lu Zhixian's face was stern, and his tone was a little heavier. Xu Jiaoyu promised again and again, and his attitude was very respectful.
This is no joke. Whether it is Lu Zhixian or the talented people present, in the final analysis, they are all from the scholar class, and they have been instilled with the great truth that "scholars are superior to others" and "scholars and doctors rule the world together with the Son of Heaven" since their enlightenment. It is their duty to control the world from the cultural level, and no matter whether they can become officials or not, this major matter that has a bearing on the power and status of the entire class and even their jobs must not be missed.
They also saw and heard that the Western teaching model introduced by the Yang family was to make all craftsmen become scholars; However, the scholars of Western countries are in the service of merchants. With the Westernization Movement and the opening of the country, the idea of such a great change could not be stopped at all, nor could it be suppressed, so for the sake of today's plan, we had to take it into our own hands as much as possible.
Yang Hao said angrily: "Middle school is the body, Western learning is the use, this is the core concept that Yang wants to run through the entire teaching and the company." The scholarship of Westerners is too one-sided, separating heaven, earth and man, and treating all things in nature as grass and mustard, but they do not know the truth that the unity and harmony of heaven and man can coexist. Embodied in academics, it is the digitization of everything that is taken for granted, and the general research of treating people as dead objects, has gone into the sideways and is infinitely trivial. And I don't know that everything is constantly changing, only by grasping the metaphysical macro principles and dominating them, can we harmonize the three talents, determine the foundation of all changes, and encompass the overall situation from the height of great unification. ”
He is telling the truth, although he has not yet realized the true meaning of it, but he definitely does not agree with the "only science" and "scientific omnipotence" in this world, especially when there is a mother who knows both Chinese and Western medicine at home.
Lu Zhixian was shocked by these words. In his mind, the Yang family has been in the land of foreign barbarians for a long time, and they have long not studied Confucian classics, blindly pursuing the way of craftsmen, and they will never understand any big truths.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hao's first "middle school for the body, Western learning for use" made him feel like an initiation, and Huo Ran opened his hole! I couldn't help but praise it: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Yang Gongzi's words can be regarded as the end of the truth! I want to reform governance and revitalize industry in the Qing Dynasty, which is simply not to be lost! Unexpectedly, the Yang family has such a wonderful cognition, but it makes the county very happy! ”
Previously, he had been worried that the Yang family's unsparing ferocious style was no different from those Yangyi who blindly preached force, but now it seems that people still have internal and external differences, and priority is secondary. With this kind of understanding, you can't be completely regarded as an outsider, you can be treated as your own family, and with a little guidance, you may not be able to realize the orthodoxy of the country and return to the right path!
Cai Qu, Xu Jiaoyu and others are all from a good background, have been gnawing books for decades, and their brains are not ordinary good users. After a little thought, you will know the power of these eight words. The princes of the imperial court, no one can say such a witty word, the Yang family is really extraordinary!
At the same time, they also thought that they could be more assured about cooperating with Yang. A power that does not forget its roots, no matter how much it tosses, it always evolves according to the familiar routine, and there will be no danger of deviation and loss of control.
Lu Zhixian was far-sighted and clearly pointed out that the construction of Yang's "technical training school" must be carried out around the foundation of "middle school as the body and Western learning as the use". The lack of faculty strength, its own county school is responsible for convening and introducing, anyway, the Yang family has money, and it is okay to raise more.
Regarding the teaching of simplified Chinese characters in schools, Lu Zhixian has no superfluous judgments. In fact, the simplified character has been running through thousands of years of Chinese history, the small seal is simplified from the big seal, and the official script is further simplified. By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the use of simplified characters had become commonplace, and the emergence of cursive script was a large number of simplified text comparisons.
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, under the influence of Western culture, although no comprehensive simplification or Westernization has been proposed, similar thinking has sprouted.
For Lu Zhixian and the gentry, they all started by learning orthographic characters, and did not think that the imperial court would switch to simplified Chinese. And no amount of knowledge of the general public can threaten their legitimacy. It is even really believed that this is just a convenience for the civilian population to quickly become literate and to be able to understand the rules and regulations of the textbook.
What they don't know is that learning from simplified to traditional is actually very simple. The Yang family deliberately avoided letting the students suffer from the poison of the words that had been prevalent in these years, and simply let them use the correct interpretation of the texts brought from this world, and take a completely different path from the root.
As for the reflection on the cultural damage caused by simplified Chinese characters that has emerged in the world in recent years, it is far less effective than propaganda. Those who study culture can learn traditional Chinese characters with a little seriousness, and with the help of this dictionary and Shuwen Jiezi, there will be basically no deviations.
The vast majority of ordinary people only use 800 of the most common and 2,000 common words in their lifetime, and they are not used to recite poems and write splendid articles, whether they are simplified or traditional are not so important at all.
Especially in the second plane, what the Yang family wants is to get the maximum number of teams, of course, how convenient it is.
It took nearly an hour to inspect the entire school, and Lu Zhixian was finally satisfied. As far as he could see, agronomy, medicine, or engineering would be of great benefit to increasing the income of the people under his rule, revitalizing the economy, maintaining order, reducing the number of idle people, and increasing taxes.
In particular, it can bring him a rolling income, he originally calculated that he could have a few thousand taels a year, but now he dares to think about tens of thousands of taels, whether it is to make a fortune or buy through the upward road, it has a direct impact. Therefore, he agreed to many of Yang Hao's requests, not to mention that he offered to help coordinate with other states and counties, such as letting the doctors from the surrounding medical centers come to study.
In the past half a month, the hospital presided over by Song Ailan has cured hundreds of patients. She can see accurately, judge clearly, talk nonsense and flicker, inject and drug quickly and effectively, and even be able to operate and deal with a large number of traumatic injuries, so that the thousands of people working here are shocked to be medical immortals! Today, the fame has spread throughout the county.
It's just that peers are enemies, and many doctors in these years are halfway monks, not to mention, and they all follow a master to learn a school, or simply self-taught, Yan zhòng lacks a systematic theoretical foundation and rich clinical experience. And because of the cultural fragmentation in recent centuries, many folk doctors not only do not even understand the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing" correctly, but also simply do not understand the Book of Changes.
In the more than 100 years of time in this world, there have been many anti-TCM, extinction TCM, and TCM improvement movements, which have made people around the 21st century see Chinese medicine beyond recognition. Even the students of the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine themselves do not read the classics, and even sneer at others for respecting the classics, and do not believe in the essence of the theories that have been explored for thousands of years before.
Only a group of seventy-year-old and eighty-year-old traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are still struggling, and even issued helpless words such as "it is good for foreigners to learn traditional Chinese medicine, in short, it can be passed on".
Almost all of the entire health system has been brainwashed by major Western pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment factories since they were students, and they have long lost the moral benchmark of being a doctor, and first of all, they must respect the moral benchmark of "great doctor sincerity". He even regarded this cause as a profession that was no different from that of ordinary workers, and treated the big people as an opportunity, and was insensitive and indifferent to the suffering of more than a billion people.
The medical atmosphere in this world is irretrievable, and people of insight say that it is not as clever as a group of well-known elites supported by Western foundations. lost the control of the right to speak, and only the common people were unlucky.
In this second plane, in any case, most Chinese doctors still follow the principle of putting life first, rather than making more money like the major medical groups in the West. If we unite a group of forces from the very beginning and pass on the essence of the countless people in Chinese medicine who have worked hard in the world for more than 100 years, we can avoid this part of the entire civilization from being defeated by Western forces.
(For example, Chinese use fecal enemas to treat food poisoning and diarrhea, and human Zhonghuang to treat various plagues and poisons for thousands of years, which has been denounced as pseudoscience and poisoning people.) Westerners pouring feces into the stomach of patients is a scientific discovery, and eating fecal capsules is high-tech and can make headlines. )
The reason why Chinese civilization can continue is that the ancients summed up for thousands of years to adapt to natural changes, timely adjust their own health, and even not get sick The crystallization of wisdom, such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing". No matter how difficult it was for the ancients to fight against nature, they tried to survive in the fight, so they formed a variety of means to strengthen themselves and kill the enemy, which is so far kung fu.
There is a way to live and reproduce, there is a strong force to ensure survival, and the wisdom of life and the spirit of martial arts are the foundation of the existence of the nation that cannot be separated from it all the time.
The barbarians try to break it, and then destroy the foundation of the whole nation, and we must keep it.
This kind of intention, the Yang family may not think so thoroughly, nor is it noble, but they do not want to create another country where foreign slaves are everywhere, compradors are rampant, and the mainstream society is unanimously calling for the extinction of Chinese writing and the abandonment of Chinese culture.
Medical skills are one of the means to accumulate fame and gain popularity as quickly as possible, improve the overall level of medical care, and are also an important force to maintain the support of the people in the base area.
At present, there are already many folk doctors who know Song Ailan's superb medical skills, but most of them are suspicious, and they can't pull their faces to learn from a woman. However, with the official order of the county magistrate, there can be a step down, which is of great help to the preparation for the establishment of the medical school.
