Chapter 32: Mr. Teaching
Sitting side by side on the idyllic ground, the two of them look like the people in the painting. But these two people in the painting are really so bored.
That's right, these two people are Zhou Xiaocao and his student Ximenqing. These two guys rushed to see the first beauty in Cangzhou, but they didn't want to come too early, let alone the beauty, and they didn't even see half of the female doll with small feet. It's also that they have no experience, and in ancient times, this kind of group activity was not as convenient and on-call as it is now. At that time, there were no telephones or cars, and even if you set off before dawn when you were far away, it would take half a day to arrive. Therefore, such gatherings basically start in earnest after the end of the day.
Ximenqing pointed to a ditch on the side and said, "Teacher, look, there is a ditch over there, let's go there and hide." ”
"Just what I want!"
Zhou Xiaocao and Ximenqing came to this small ditch. This kind of small ditch is generally used for irrigation. In ancient times, there was no electricity for irrigation, so we had to go to the nearby ditches or canals to bring water for irrigation, so there were many such ditches in the fields.
The two of them pulled out some withered yellow weeds, sat on their buttocks, and Ximenqing said: "Teacher, the thing you said about the sun rising in the east and setting in the west today, I haven't figured it out yet, so please tell me about it again." ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "This, I'm afraid it's too shocking to say it, so it's better not to say it." ”
Ximenqing's eyes lit up and said, "I'm not afraid of shocking the world, I like to listen to it the most!" ”
Dry! I forgot that this Ximenqing in front of him is still a child, no matter how shocking his remarks are, in his eyes, it is just a fairy tale at most.
Zhou Xiaocao said: "Okay, I'll sue you." In fact, the place where we live is not a round place, but a round world. This circle is not a circle on a plane, but a sphere. The sun is many times the size of the earth we live on, and the earth revolves around the sun, so you see the sun rising in the east and setting in the west every day, so there will be spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”
Ximenqing opened his eyes and said, "Wow, it's amazing! Teacher, how do you know? Have you ever been to the sun? ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "How is it possible? Is boiling water scalding? The temperature on the surface of the sun is already 60 times the temperature of boiling water, and when a person arrives in front of him, he will be scorched. ”
Ximenqing tilted his head and asked, "Then teacher, how do you know that the temperature is high there?" Have you ever been, how will you know? ”
"It says in the book."
"Which book?"
""Golden Vase Plum" Oh no, why are you asking so much?"
"Teacher, you don't even think about it, you can believe it, who wrote this book? Is there any evidence? How does he prove that everything he says is right? ”
fainted to death, and today was taught a lesson by an ancient. That's right, when I was studying at the time, why didn't I even have the slightest idea of questioning? What the book says, how can I believe it? It is better to believe in books than to have no books, the ancients all knew the truth, why do modern people forget jì one by one? Or is it something that some people can lead? In modern primary education, is there even a single student who stands up and questions what the teacher says? Perhaps, but after a lesson (and possibly a violent beating), I am afraid that I will not dare to question it again for decades to come.
Suddenly feeling like a failure, if Einstein was all about Newtonian mechanics, could he come up with the theory of relativity? What makes Chinese people unimaginative and lose the spirit of exploration?
"Teacher, what's wrong with you, teacher, did the student say something wrong?"
Zhou Xiaocao rubbed his eyes and pulled his thoughts back to reality: "No, what you said is very good!" This is what the teacher said in the future, it is also possible that the things that the teacher said may be wrong, and it is impossible for future generations to never be able to compare with their predecessors, we all have to look backwards. ”
yes, I'm thinking too far. As long as you live well in this time and space, what do you care about other things?
Ximenqing said: "Teacher, you are a brave person. At the beginning, the old master refused to admit it if he said the wrong content, which was very annoying. Zi said, if a person is not a sage, who can do nothing? He also said that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. Teacher, I admire you! ”
As soon as Ximen Qing said this, Zhou Xiaocao instantly became a little fluttering: "Teachers are also human beings, and they can make mistakes." It's just that the teacher will not stick to the rules, and he will not be like some pseudo-masters, who will only follow the ass of the ancients to pick up people's teeth, and do not know how to forge ahead, and even the words that the saints have inadvertently said have to be carefully consulted for decades. In this case, how can we surpass the sages and become stronger from generation to generation? ”
"Nonsense! Slander the sages, and you are not afraid of being punished by heaven? ”
A loud shout came, startling Zhou Xiaocao, who was talking about it. Looking up, I saw an old man in a gray robe, looking down with a cold face. Fang Cai's words are probably what he said.
Zhou Xiaocao stood up and said, "This old gentleman, the two of us master and apprentice are talking here, it doesn't seem to be in your way, right?" ”
The gray-robed old man said: "You slander the sages yourself, and you have to teach this speech to others, you are a great rebellion!" ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "Hey! You old man, you have to care what others think in their hearts? I thought like this, I taught like this, what can you do with me? ”
The gray-robed old man was so angry that his beard turned up: "You stubborn and unbearable! The old man didn't even dare to say bad things about the saint, you have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard! Who are you, dare you report your name! ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "Hey, what don't I dare!" Listen, this young master is the one who has never been seen before or since, a capable minister who was born in eight hundred years, a traitor in troubled times, Zhou Xiaocao! ”
The gray-robed old man gritted his teeth, as if what Zhou Xiaocao was talking about just now was not Confucius, but his father: "Zhou Xiaocao, good, good!" I remember you! ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "Who are you?" ”
The gray-robed old man proudly straightened his chest and said: "The old man is not talented, he is teaching in Cangzhou, Zhou Zhizheng!" ”
I went there, but it's still Lao Tzu's own family, and my own family members have come to dismantle my family's platform, which is too much? Why is this guy Ximenqing trembling?
"What's wrong with you?"
Ximenqing's head lowered even harder, and he tugged on Zhou Xiaocao's sleeve: "This is Mr. Jiaoxi, who is in charge of all the local students." Unless you don't want to test your fame, otherwise, if you offend him, it's fatal! ”
Oh, to put it bluntly, it's the local scholars who are in charge, and they are not officials, but sometimes they are more powerful than officials. Why? Want to be an official? Let's talk about it after the old man's level! This kind of person is an uncrowned king wherever he goes, I'm afraid that even Cangzhou Governor Xie Bingzhou has to respect him for three points, no wonder this person is so arrogant, people have that capital!
Zhou Xiaocao looked up and down this week's teaching and said, "Mr. Jiaoxi, right?" ”
Zhou Zhi straightened his waist and said loudly: "Exactly! ”
He thought to himself, hehe, the next child, now he knows that he is afraid, right? Look how you kneel in front of the old man and beg for mercy later! The old man pretends not to forgive you, and you have to kneel and beg again. The old man pretended not to forgive you again, and you knelt down and begged for the third time. The old man forgave you "very reluctantly", so hello, hello, everyone, everyone is happy! Hehe, in fact, what this kid just talked about is also quite interesting, let him talk about it in the future.
His old man was obscene, only to hear Zhou Xiaocao yawn a big and said, "I'm not interested, let's go!" Look at the first beauty in Cangzhou! ”
Zhou Zhizheng felt that his face fell to the ground with a "chirp" and was shattered. Shouted: "Stop!" ”
