Chapter 181: The College (I)
The academy is a private educational institution of the Han nationality, which first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the formal education system was founded by Zhu Xi during the Southern Song Dynasty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the early Northern Song Dynasty, after a period of recuperation, the national strength gradually became stronger, and the emperors took the "division of feudal towns" and "Chenqiao Mutiny" as a reference, which led to overcorrection and too much emphasis on literature and light on military force, so more Great Song scholars had the requirement to study and study. However, the imperial court was too busy opening up the frontier or stabilizing the frontier defense, and for a while it did not care about education, and it lacked the financial resources to build enough schools to meet the needs of scholars in various places. Therefore, famous Confucians, scholars and local officials from all over the country built academies one after another to cultivate talents, which flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, the four major academies, namely the Bailudong Academy in Lushan, Jiangxi, the Yuelu Academy in Shanhua, Hunan, the Shigu Academy in Hengyang, Hunan, and the Yingtianfu Academy in Shangqiu, Henan, as well as many academies across the country, were established and developed under this background.
Of course, the development of the academy was not all smooth sailing, and Li Shuchong had studied it in depth. In the later period of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to grasp talents more directly, the rulers attached great importance to the imperial examination and vigorously revitalized school education, that is, official learning, so they neglected the private academies. Against this backdrop, seowon began to decline.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the atmosphere changed again. First of all, the official schools established in the late Northern Song Dynasty became increasingly corrupt as they became vassals of the imperial examinations and tools of political struggle. In addition, all the expenses of public schools were borne by the government, and at this time, the government was worried about a peasant uprising and the threat of invasion by Liao and Jin. Thirdly, at that time, Cheng Zhu Lixue, represented by Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan, became increasingly popular in society, and the lecture activities of physicists became active. As a result, there was another climax of a large academy. In fact, most of the academies in the Southern Song Dynasty were academies that taught research and science, and the science of the Southern Song Dynasty mainly relied on academies to preach and disseminate, resulting in a high social status and great influence of the academies at that time.
In this context, Li Shuchong traveled to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty where "Shooting the Condor" was located, and happened to "raise" a large amount of gold and silver in Beijing, so he was supervised by the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and founded this Changnan Academy in Li Shuchong's hometown. At that time, Fuliang County, the capital of Raozhou, was a very special county governance, and perhaps the impression of the Chinese people on Fuliang County only stayed in the sentence in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing": "Merchants value profits and ignore parting, and 'Fuliang' bought tea the month before." "But in ancient times, Fuliang County governed a world-famous Jingdezhen.
As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancients built kilns in the Changjiang area of Fuliang County, and Changnan Town was named because it was located in the south of the Changjiang River. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen porcelain had already become famous, and later overcame the five famous kilns. In 1004 A.D. (the first year of Jingde), Song Zhenzong took his own year name as the name, renamed the town of Changnan at that time as Jingdezhen, and set up an official kiln here, burned the imperial porcelain, since then Jingdezhen has become a thousand-year-old, famous in the world "porcelain capital", but the name of Changnan town has gradually disappeared.
Changnan Academy was only one of the hundreds of academies at that time, and it was not enough to rank among the best in terms of scale, fame, and book collection. However, the Goose Lake Academy, which is also in Raozhou Prefecture, is one of the four major academies in ancient Jiangxi, and since the Southern Song Dynasty physicists Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan and others held the "Goose Lake Meeting", it has become more famous in the eyes of literati.
It's just that Changnan Academy did not follow the trend to study Cheng Zhu Lixue, but established a sect, found another way, maverick advocated the spirit of chivalry, focused on teaching peerless martial arts, emphasized the use of martial arts to meet friends, collected a large number of martial arts wizards, cultivated many real martial arts masters, in the last decades of the Southern Song Dynasty, for the feminine and weak Southern Song Dynasty to deliver a large breath of masculinity, and thus became a thorn in the side of the Mongolian court, the thorn in the flesh.
At that time, after the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty moved south from Mongolia to the Central Plains, out of the need to alleviate class contradictions and carry out cultural control, they attached great importance to cultural education, and one of its manifestations was to vigorously advocate science and reward academies, so the academies also developed greatly in the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, the Mongol rulers at that time had another purpose, that is, to continue to let the Han people focus on literature and light on military force, and accumulate poverty and weakness, so that they could not organize large-scale armed forces to effectively resist the brutal rule of the Mongols, so as to consolidate the power of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, the Mongolian imperial court actually had extremely strict control over the major academies, and the atmosphere of free lectures was not strong, and the academies were full of official learning. Therefore, in the era of "chivalry and forbidden" and "twenty families can only share one kitchen knife", how could the Mongolian court tolerate the Changnan Academy constantly cultivating gravediggers of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty?
The information that Li Shuchong "peeked" in Ah San's mind was not very special, and it was similar to the materials he usually collected, but when he "saw" that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty actually personally inquired about Changnan Academy, and organized a large number of martial arts masters, he secretly swept away Changnan Academy ten years ago, and then planned to eliminate Shaolin, Wudang and other major martial arts sects, he was still greatly shocked. It turned out that Changnan Academy was destroyed in the hands of the Mongols, although Zhao Min was still young ten years ago, but presumably her father could not get rid of it, and this matter must not be settled. Now that I can't get more useful information from Ah San, let's take a long-term view of revenge.
Although Ah San's limbs were broken and the pain was unbearable, he was also stubborn and didn't say a word, leaving Li Shuchong to deal with it. Zhao Min's subordinates had already grabbed Li Shuchong and carried him away from the battlefield. When everyone saw Li Shuchong and Taijiquan so magical, they were shocked and stammered, forgetting to cheer.
Only Zhao Min's bald Ah Er flashed out to avenge his junior brother Ah San. This Ah Er is a gifted genius in the "King Kong Gate" in the Western Regions, and he has long been trained into a deep internal force, and his internal skills are even far superior to that of the ancestor fire foreman Tuo back then. He saw that Li Shuchong had no internal strength, and only relied on the subtlety of Taijiquan to defeat Ah San, so he wanted to use his amazing internal strength to sneak attack Li Shuchong, and directly force him to compete with internal strength, maybe he could kill Li Shuchong in the palm of his hand.
Under Ah Er's intentional sneak attack, his palms hit Li Shuchong's chest, which was instantaneous, Li Shuchong didn't have time to think about it, and immediately carried the sticky word trick of Tai Chi Boxing, wanting to take his body aside, but Ah Er's internal strength was much better than Ah San, Li Shuchong not only did not drive him, but stuck himself and almost fell. Ah Er's incomparably thick palm force hit the ground of the Sanqing Palace, only to hear the sound of "boom", and the two big green bricks on the ground were actually smashed by him. The people of the Mingjiao and Wudang factions couldn't help but look at each other, secretly worried about Li Shuchong.
Although Ah Er missed the first blow, his confidence doubled. He used his internal strength, his eyes bulged, and the bones around his body crackled, obviously wanting to finish his work in one battle and kill Li Shuchong in one fell swoop. Yu Daiyan knew that this Ah Er's internal strength was extremely strong, and this blow must be extraordinary, Li Shuchong was extremely difficult to resist, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Li be careful, avoid his edge, and knock on the side!" Unfortunately, Li Shuchong focused on dealing with Ah San, and didn't hear it at all.
In the lightning and stone fire, Li Shu Chongfu Lingxin, not only did he not use his weak internal force to resist, or as Yu Daiyan said, to avoid its edge, but instead "open the door and steal", both palms to meet up, when the four palms can be connected, reverse the internal force, "leading" Ah Er's internal force along his own meridians into the dantian, and the "flowing fire" that has been liquefied in the dantian converges......
