Lin Xun sneered, this is also a poem, a limerick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The third prince also seemed to have little patience for the following topics, and he didn't want anyone to come on the boat to disturb his conversation with Lin Xun. Immediately, I heard a somewhat disappointed voice on Spiegel Lake.
"This prince is also a little tired tonight, tonight's Golden Autumn Talent Banquet is here, please stay or go, please feel free. I also have a message for you, I hope that in the future, those who will come to the banquet for talented people will be people who really love literature, not people who are cramming for the sake of reward. ā
The words of the three princes fell, and there was a burst of controversy on the shore of the lake, some people thought that there were a few questions in the back and tried their luck, but as soon as the three princes said this, the wishful thinking was also in vain.
But the person who spoke was the third prince, even if someone complained, he dared not speak out.
On the cruise ship, the three princes naturally heard the poor and sour chatters on the shore, although no one dared to say anything blatantly, but there was no lack of blame and sarcasm in the conversation. Some people even said that the third prince couldn't afford to give a reward, so he stopped the Golden Autumn Talent Banquet halfway.
When these words were heard by the third prince, he could only smile bitterly with regret. I saw him turn his head and look at Lin Xun.
"Brother Lin Xian, is it really right for you to use rewards to motivate them to study literature?"
When Lin Xun heard this, he lost his restraint and politeness, and comforted.
"Brother Xiao, junior brother asks you, do you really plan to hold this golden autumn talent banquet forever?"
The third prince was surprised: "Then what's not? ā
"Brother Xiao, I know that you are holding this Golden Autumn Talent Banquet to let more people pay attention to literature and love literature, but to be honest, there are a few people who come to participate now who really like literature, and they are all here for your reward."
"Your reward, if I guess correctly, is nothing more than money. With this reward, it is true that they will pay attention to literature, but all their motivation to learn is also for the sake of money. If one day you stop this golden autumn talent banquet, then I am sure that no one will study literature again, because they have no purpose and no motivation. ā
The third prince couldn't help but nod while listening to what Lin Xun said.
"And what do you think I'm going to do?"
Lin Xun said with a smile.
"Brother Xiao, money is such a thing, if you spend it, it will be gone, if you really want to find a way to stimulate them, then you need something that can bring benefits to them for a long time. And you can urge them to be motivated, not just by reading two books and answering a question, you can get some gold coins. ā
"Brother Lin Xian, don't go around in circles, just finish your words at once." The Three Princes said.
"Brother Xiao, then I'll give you an idea, you can think about it. First of all, instead of holding it once a month, the Golden Autumn Talent Banquet will be held once a year. There is one opportunity a year, success is success, failure is failure, so that no one learns with the psychology of luck. Also, the talent banquet needs to set a threshold, and not everyone can participate in it. For example, I estimate that there are less than 1,000 people who actually want to answer the question tonight, and the rest are all to watch the excitement. This can easily create an atmosphere of impropriety and is too easily distracted. ā
"You might as well be like this. First of all, junior schools were set up in various cities in the Western Xia Empire, and special teachers were invited to teach, and all children in the junior schools were treated equally, learning literature in the morning and practicing under the guidance of martial arts teachers in the afternoon. Fundamentally change people's impression of literature, so that they feel that literature and cultivation are equally important. ā
"Secondly, at the end of each year, all students are evaluated both in literature and in cultivation. Some children are good at literature, but their cultivation talent is not good, so they can continue to develop towards literature. Some children have good cultivation talents, but they dare not be interested in literature, so they are not forced to teach literature, and they can be allowed to enter other cultivation academies to study. ā
At this point, the third prince interjected and asked, "What if some children are not good at literature and have poor cultivation talents?" ā
Lin Xun smiled and explained: "This is related to the concept that teachers instill in children. The way of cultivation is, to a certain extent, based on talent. But along the way to literature, as long as you are diligent, everyone can achieve something. Teachers need to tell them from an early age that literature is not inferior to cultivation. Of course, there are other things you need to do. ā
"It's fine. Brother Lin Xian has something to say. ā
"Brother Xiao, cultivation and literature actually complement each other, but they also contradict each other. On the way to cultivation, sometimes pay attention to inappropriate means to make yourself stronger, and your strength is respected. However, literature pays more attention to human nature, emotion, and all living things to a certain extent. But looking at the Western Xia Empire, and even the entire Dragon Bone Continent, what is the real status of the literati? Can you be respected? Not to mention, Brother Xiao is the third prince of the Western Xia Kingdom, presumably you should know best that among the people in the Western Xia Kingdom, are the high-ranking and powerful people all cultivators? ā
As soon as Lin Xun's voice fell, the third prince really pondered, but soon woke up again and continued to ask.
"What do you mean?"
"If there is no way out for the literati, then the word "pay attention to literature" will always be an empty phrase. If there are literati in the government and the opposition, and their status in the country is very important, then there is no need for you to mention it, those who have no talent for cultivation, in order to get ahead, will definitely pick up the scroll and study it seriously. ā
The third prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said a little excitedly.
"You go on!"
Lin Xun continued with a smile.
"We all know that cultivators are the mainstream of the Dragon Bone Continent, and this is already an eternal truth. The reason why everyone looks down on the literati is that they feel that the literati are powerless, and any big fighter can easily kill them. turned into a pair of white bones, and the power of literature naturally became a laughing stock. ā
But where does the true power of literature lie? It's the language. It's the mind. A person who cultivates to be strong can make a group of people kneel down towards him out of fear. But a person with a strong mind can make those who kneel to stand up with a single word. ā
After hearing this, the third prince felt that the whole person was like an initiation, and his mind was clear and transparent.
"Brother Lin Xian, I understand what you mean. I really think that you are not sent by some god to guide me. Ha ha. You're right, I have to make the literati elevated and respected. ā
"Brother Lin Xian, you are the best example!" When the third prince spoke, his eyes flashed with determination.
"Huh? What do you mean? ā
"From today on, you are my brother with a different surname, and tomorrow I will tell the world that although I can't give you real power, the people under my hands, and even the people of the entire Western Xia Kingdom, see you as if they see me."
Hearing the words of the third prince, Lin Xun was suddenly a little confused.
"I just said Xia Ji Bahu, does he really believe it?"
"Alright, that's it. Come! Drink! Let's not get drunk tonight, and later you and your brother and sister will go to my house, and I will take you to my father, and let you tell him what you just said, and he will definitely appreciate you! ā
Lin Xun smiled slightly, but he was secretly scolding in his heart.
"Damn, this bottom is b-pretending to be big."
Lin Xun sneered, this is also a poem, a limerick.
