Chapter 61: The Past of the Academy

"Well, that's a kind of interesting question, but to be honest, I can't answer you." After listening to Xie Xinyuan's question, Yuan Lang replied with a smile after thinking about it, and while answering, he habitually stroked his beard lightly, obviously, he didn't feel that it was a shame for him not to be able to answer this question.

"Ah," almost all the children were surprised, because in their minds, the teacher was almost omniscient and omniscient, and even their parents were full of respect when they mentioned Teacher Yuan, thinking that he was the most learned person in Meilong Town, why did he have a question that the old man couldn't answer?

"Hehe, why are you all looking like this?" Condescendingly, Yuan Lang could see the children's reactions clearly, he could guess what was going on in the minds of these children, and he smiled even more happily.

"Teacher, why?" Chen Lihong's question represents the question of all the children.

"Hehe, how to say it, according to common sense, a good memory is definitely good for playing chess, although it is impossible to record all the changes or plays, but remember a little more is better than a little less, just like the guy in the pharmacy, the entire medicine cabinet has hundreds of small boxes for storing medicinal materials, although each medicine box has the name of the medicinal materials pasted on it, the pharmacy guy does not need to remember the specific location of each medicinal material in the medicine cabinet, but in fact, every qualified pharmacy guy must do the customer to say the name of the herb casually, He didn't even want to find the corresponding position right away. It can be seen that a good memory is helpful for this guy's ability evaluation. The question is, is it enough to memorize where these herbs are placed? What if the location of the herbs changes, or if the herbs don't match the names on the outside? At this time, it is useless to just remember those names and locations, the important thing is to be able to recognize what kind of medicinal herbs those are, which is the most important thing. ”

"Maybe it's a little too big to say that you don't understand, so let's talk about something I've experienced myself." Seeing that the children were still full of confusion, Yuan Lang groaned slightly and decided to change the method.

Is this about storytelling? There are few children who don't like to listen to stories, and when they heard Teacher Yuan want to talk about his past, they all became excited, and at this time, Tan Xiaotian also finished writing the homework left by Yuan Lang when he wanted to learn from the townspeople, put the brush aside, and listened with interest to Teacher Yuan's dragon gate array.

When I was young, I studied in Xilin Academy, which is one of the very famous colleges in Jiangnan, and it has a history of more than 80 years when I entered the school, and the students have reached more than 480 people at most. First of all, I talked about the glorious history of Xilin Academy, but this is also the normal situation of people - the reader is talking about the general and the phase, not for the famous minister, then for the famous teacher, not to say that the world is famous, at least to learn to be useful, so that his own talent is recognized by others, the problem is that his family background is average, and there is no prominent back, he is upright, he does not know how to be flexible, and he is not willing to do the kind of deception, fraud, and the same river pollution, so the career is not smooth, not only failed to rise to the top, become an important minister of the country, but was repeatedly suppressed by his superiors, Colleagues were excluded, subordinates complained, and in the end, they were framed by others, so they had to say goodbye to their careers, abandon their careers, and come to Meilong Town in frustration to be an ordinary private school teacher. People like to remember when they are old, and in his memories, the time when he studied in Xilin Academy is undoubtedly the most memorable, and it is no wonder that he will be full of emotion when he mentions this matter, and it is difficult to close the conversation box once it is opened.

"There are many courses in Xilin Academy, in addition to the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, Go is also one of the subjects, and everyone has to learn."

"Xilin Academy is divided into classes according to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch, and there are 32 students in my T-shaped class, and in terms of comprehensive results, I am ranked among the top three, and I am recognized as the most qualified student."

"Although Xilin Academy is a very good college, there is a so-called ' Ten fingers stretched out is not ordinary', there are many students, it is inevitable that the good and the bad are uneven, there are both students with good brains like me in a class, and students with not so good brains, my next table is called Yang Yi is such a person, the brain is stupid, it is simply Tian Qingyou who magnified the number one, stronger than Tian Qingyou, that is, people are down-to-earth and willing to work hard, others use half an hour to memorize an article, he can't memorize it for an hour, so he uses two hours, three hours, until he remembers it, this point, Tian Qingyou is far from being able to compare with others。 Yuan Lang said with a smile, this description made the children below laugh again, only Tian Qingyou was embarrassed to cover his face with his hands, pretending to be embarrassed.

", Go class is three months after admission, everyone originally thought that with Yang Yi's brain, chess art will definitely be the last place in the class, the teacher talked about those chess theory, tactics, shapes and other things, not to mention mastery, even if it is memorized, it can kill him, the fact is also true, such as the first article of the "Thirteen Articles of the Book of Chess" that day is taught every day, the shortest time in the class is to use a pillar of incense, and the longest time to memorize a class, and Yang Yi until the next morning is stumbling, He was punished by the teacher for running in circles around the college playground. ”

But what no one expected was that Yang Yi, who had to carry things so hard, was surprised by his performance in the game, and the moves he walked out of were often very different from what the teacher taught, or even the exact opposite, but others just had no way to take him, it seemed that it was obviously unreasonable, and the tricks that would be scolded by the teacher would be under the line, and we were dizzy, defeated, in the Go game in the class, he has always been the first, and no one can shake his status, including me, however, In exams such as chess theory and memory explanation, he was still last in the score. ”

For such a situation, not only we can't figure it out, but the teacher who taught us Go at that time was also puzzled, and couldn't understand why a person who didn't know anything about chess and had such poor qualifications could play chess so well.
