Chapter 337: Teaching Students in Accordance with Their Aptitude
When he traveled around the world, his unswerving ideas were defeated by the faces of beautiful women many times, what could Confucius do? He can't blame his parents for not giving him a handsome face that is so handsome that both men and women can eat it.
In short, after experiencing the Nanzi incident, Confucius had a psychological shadow on women, and always felt that women were difficult to entangle, and they were rivals in love with him for the monarch. What's more serious is that the monarch is more willing to believe in the beauties around him, rather than Confucius, which led Confucius to say the famous saying through the ages: Only women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not inferior, and those who are far away are resentful.
Confucius mainly lamented the women and villains around the monarch, after all, his main opponents were them. However, complaining is complaining, and Confucius could not change the attitude of the monarch. Confucius has seen a lot of monarchs, summed up the general experience, in short, these monarchs are definitely surrounded by women and villains.
The woman said before, Nanzi of the country. There are more villains, jealous of Confucius, afraid that Confucius will come over to seize the throne, and the villains often kill Confucius in the ear of the monarch and say: Confucius is a man with great ability, after he comes, don't you want him to be the monarch?
When the monarch heard this, he was not happy, and he did not welcome Confucius.
Obviously, the villain was worried that his position would not be guaranteed, but they did not say so, but said that Confucius came to seize the throne of the monarch and borrowed the hand of the monarch to drive away Confucius. The villain's political methods are much more sophisticated than Confucius's.
What could Confucius do about these situations? He could only turn his grief and anger into appetite, eat up the plate of meat in front of him, and then cheer up and move on.
"Zigong, you should go to Chu State first." When you are full, you have to work hard to promote your proposition. Confucius was going to send Zigong to Chu to take a look first, and said that he would invite himself, but there was no movement, and he didn't send someone to answer it.
Zigong was ordered, and the light car and horse took a long detour to the state of Chu to see the situation.
And Confucius and the others continued to wait in place, anyway, now they have food and drink, and they can start classes by finding a big tree to shade them.
When Confucius started his class, the disciples spread out in a fan shape around Confucius, and listened to Confucius talk about Zhou etiquette, the Book of Songs, historical allusions, and benevolence, righteousness and morality. Yun Yao just stayed at the back and listened, and everyone wouldn't pay attention to her anyway.
Everyone was fascinated by what they heard, and even a few immortal cultivators couldn't extricate themselves, because these theories were all unconventional in this era, and there was no place to listen to them except Confucius, even the six saints had never heard of them.
The sages taught them spells and led them to enlightenment, but they never told them how to organize themselves, how to rely on their hearts to regulate themselves and society, and gave a moral standard.
Although this standard is rudimentary, it is sufficient as a framework.
Confucius is already old, and his ideas are very mature, so it is very smooth to speak.
Today, Confucius is talking about how good the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou are, how the Zhou people regulate their behavior, and how peaceful the world is, without war. To put it simply, it is necessary to restore the Zhou ceremony, and it is best to restore the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is okay if the Eastern Zhou Dynasty cannot be restored.
After the lecture, there was a Q&A session, where the disciples asked questions and the Master answered.
After the cultural class, there will be physical education class, driving, archery, fencing, and this suburb is the playground.
After the physical education class is over, it is the one-on-one teaching of the core disciples, usually talking about how to govern the country, which is equivalent to employment guidance.
Governing the country includes the sacrificial process, aristocratic etiquette, etc., not only to manage production, train the army and other operations, but also to organize more organizationally, teaching disciples how to organize a national event from scratch.
If a disciple is familiar with these norms, he can find a job in any country, and he has no problem being a master of ceremonies or a minister.
Confucius had no money to let go of cattle and did miscellaneous labor when he was a child, but he was interested in the etiquette of weddings and funerals since he was a child, and began to learn etiquette in Lu when he grew up.
Because he offended Ji Zhao's clan in the Lu State and the political situation in the Lu State was unstable at that time, Confucius chose to leave the Lu State to find an opportunity to practice his ideas. He had seen many kings, so he knew the etiquette of the vassal states well, and it was more than enough to teach these to his students and eat a mixed meal.
However, even if many disciples have learned their skills, they are still willing to continue to follow the teacher, Zilu and Zigong are both students who have followed Confucius for a long time, and have always accompanied Confucius, but they are like Confucius's retainers, not students.
After the one-on-one education is over, finally take a music lesson, after all, self-denial and music are inseparable, and ritual music is ritual and music.
The students pulled out their instruments and began to flick their fingers, and the soothing tunes gave the feeling of an outing, rather than being shut out and almost unable to eat.
Yan Hui came over quietly and said to Yun Yao: "Master said, you go to deliver food in the evening, and he will teach you a lesson alone." ”
Since the apprentices have been accepted, even if outsiders don't know, Confucius will still teach Yunyao a lesson, but only for a short time. It's already considered to be a special care for Yunyao.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Qingxu Daoist admires Yun Yao quite a lot: "Take advantage of the opportunity." ”
After the music class, it was time to eat, Yun Yao had already prepared the food and brought it in person, and Zilu and Yan Hui were waiting for him.
After Yun Yao put down the meal, Confucius asked, "You want to apprentice, what bamboo slips have you read before?" ”
"The Book of Songs" and "Zhou Yi". Yun Yao said.
Confucius couldn't help but look at Yun Yao, if the other party really understood these two books, he should worship the other party as a teacher. "Since you have read these two sets of bamboo slips, you don't want to worship me as a teacher at all."
"I have read it, but I still have to listen to the teacher's opinion." Practice, Theory, and Practice...... Now is the time to activate the knowledge and intelligence of Confucius and expand the 'Dacheng Wisdom Project'.
"Okay, then I'll talk about the Book of Songs." Confucius said: "Only by reading the Book of Songs can we read the Book of Songs." ”
Yun Yao agreed, the "Book of Songs" recorded all aspects, from the working people to the sacrificial ceremonies, from the war to the metaphorical satire, which can be described as all-encompassing, and it is the content that truly reflects the lives of people everywhere.
When it comes to "Zhou Yi", it is an abstract extraction of social relations and an in-depth discussion of the relationship between heaven, earth and man, which is already derived from life and higher than life.
There are many disciples around Confucius, but there are not many who can let Confucius teach "Zhou Yi", because these disciples have not yet learned the "Book of Songs" thoroughly, and they do not have enough life insights.
"The Book of Poetry is innocent, and the things recorded are the stories of the common people......" Confucius is like a treasure of the content of the "Book of Songs", and he can tell the flowers without filing.
When Zilu heard this, he thought to himself that the teacher actually talked about the "Book of Songs" at the beginning, did he think too highly of this woman? You must know that he is not qualified to talk about poetry with the teacher until now, Zilu is a reckless man, he is the most crazy in physical education class, and he is the most cowardly in cultural class. So Confucius didn't bother to talk to him about the Book of Songs, which can be regarded as teaching students according to their aptitude. The courses are also divided into easy and difficult courses, ranging from easy to ordinary to difficult.
Because Yun Yao has a foundation, he goes directly to the normal difficulty.
The easy difficulty is to teach some employment skills. The ordinary difficulty is to talk about the Book of Songs, which is already talking about the world and divergent thinking. The difficulty is "Zhou Yi", thinking about the relationship between heaven and earth and life, and thinking about the destiny of heaven. onclick="hui"
