Chapter 201: The Three Character Classic

The second day, in the humble school.

Li Changsheng sat at a lectern with a scroll in his hand. Although he has never taught, he is decent to do, and it is not difficult to teach a group of children, not to mention that they are just a group of foxes. He sat upright with a scroll in his hand, and he looked like a folk master.

Below were low wooden tables, and the neatly seated schoolchildren were all about six or seven years old, and they looked like pink and jade. However, some of them are very strange, although they are human heads, they have small shaggy bodies underneath their heads, and their limbs are still claws.

But their attitudes are very good, definitely more than human children. sat straight next to the desk and waited for Li Changsheng to give a lecture. In the past, they were all like this, Tu Shan read a sentence on it, and they followed the recitation with shaking their heads. They used to read the Book of Songs and the Elementary School.

Looking at his group of students, Li Changsheng also felt a little special, he would teach a group of foxes a lesson! Moreover, in the valley deep in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the isolated and closest human village was also tens of thousands of miles away.

In addition to these children, Tu Shan Zizi and Xiaoya are also among them. Needless to say, Xiao Ya is just a little higher in cultivation than other foxes, and her knowledge is not much stronger than them. Tu Shan has been cultivating for thousands of years, and he has only listened to lectures from humans before, but he has always hidden outside the wall and eavesdropped. And only today did humans officially teach them, so he was also very solemn.

"The contemptible surname is Li, and the name is Changsheng Yujing. From the Military Academy, the scholar level is in the middle of the promotion, and he has now obtained the rank of the Han Empire, and he will be your master in the future. Li Changsheng introduced himself. At the same time, he prepared a small wooden board to hang behind him, and used a burned wooden stick to write on it the six big characters of 'Li Changsheng, the word Yujing'.

He prepared these props yesterday, and he didn't put a lot of effort into today's lecture. Teacher, preach and teach to solve doubts. There is also a saying: If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. Although it is only a group of foxes that are taught. But he wasn't prepared to be perfunctory.

After listening to Li Changsheng's introduction, they already knew at a glance the information about their master. At the same time, it is already great among human beings. Among humans. There are very few scholar cultivators, not to mention that he is already a cultivator. They were very fortunate to have such a master.

And Li Changsheng's approach also made them feel novel, when Tu Shan taught them before, he never wrote it. They only know the pronunciation but not the glyphs. Li Changsheng did this. It is equivalent to teaching them glyphs at the same time.

"You all have pen and paper in front of you, and you can trace it according to the words I have written. Li Changsheng said.

"Xiaoya, you take these down and distribute them to them. After waiting for a while, Li Changsheng said to Xiao Ya, who was sitting in the front row. Xiaoya walked up, took the manuscript handed over by Li Changsheng, and then distributed it to every schoolchild one by one, and also gave Tu Shan a copy of self-reflection.

The other schoolchildren didn't feel anything, because most of them didn't know the words on it. And Tu Shan was extremely shocked when he saw it, Li Changsheng wrote this that he had never heard of in humans. After reading it carefully, I found that this article is a good example. It's easy to understand. Its content includes culture, history, astronomy and geography, human ethics, righteousness, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness......

It's short, catchy, and easy to remember, making it definitely the best read for teaching children. Its core idea is the Confucian principle of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith...... This is definitely a work by everyone, could it be the work of a certain sage in the Confucian Academy? Tu Shan's first thought was the work of a saint.

"Okay, I'll read it now, and you can read it after me. Li Changsheng said. After that, wipe out the words previously written on the 'blackboard' with a homemade brush. Then he wrote the first sentence, then pointed to the sentence with the ruler and began to read the sermon.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Xi is similar, but sex is far away. ”

The schoolchildren below followed him and read along, and this sentence was only twelve words. Simple and popular. It's catchy, and you can basically read it once and write it all down. That's right, what Li Changsheng taught them was the famous "Three Character Classic" for children's enlightenment in the Middle Ages, "Three Character Classic" was a work of the Song Dynasty, and it was sought after by the world at that time as soon as it came out.

"Master, what is the beginning of human beings, and what is the nature of goodness?" At this time, Tu Shan actually stood up and arched his hand to him, and asked.

"That is, when a person is born, his nature is good. Li Changsheng said.

"So if we and other beasts, the fox clan, are they born to grab food with their brothers and sisters, and then hunt other beasts or the same kind, is it inherently evil?" Tu Shan asked. He had now taken these sentences that Li Changsheng had taught them very seriously, and had extended them to their demon beast clan. Moreover, the way he asked the question just now was a standard disciple's courtesy, which showed that he had truly regarded Li Changsheng as a master.

Hearing his question, Li Changsheng remembered that he was teaching a group of foxes, not a group of humans. Human nature is inherently good, but is it true that animal nature is inherently evil? Moreover, among human beings, there is also a dispute between the inherently good and the inherently evil of human nature. This question has been debated for a long time, and there is no clear answer. And now Tu Shan asked if it was beastly and evil, he hadn't thought about this question yet.

"In fact, in ancient times, there was no difference between humans and beasts, they were all hairy and bloody, and their bodies were full of hair. The ancients were no different from apes. For a certain period of time, all living beings listened to the preaching of the ancient sages. After the ape became sensible, he gradually walked upright, ate cooked food, created writing, and became human. And the demon fox clan is just a late Mingdao and has become a foreigner. Li Changsheng thought about it, and explained to him based on his previous memories of the Shujian Continent and the knowledge of his previous life.

"That's a good point. Tu Shan stroked his palms and said: "Our demon fox clan, in ancient times, was just a late Ming Dao, and their intelligence was slightly worse than that of apes, but they were actually no different from humans. According to the ancient texts, the great sage of antiquity saw that the ape had embarked on the path of evolution and drifted away, and we lost the opportunity. And now, as a wise person of my demon fox clan, it is not too late to learn from humans. ”

"And it is only natural to snatch food with one's companions at birth, and then hunt down different species or even the same kind, which is also good, not evil. Li Changsheng said again. In fact, he also disagreed with the theory that human nature is inherently evil, and that people are born only with some nature, and nature cannot be said to be evil. (To be continued.) )
