After visiting Tsinghua School, Cheng Nuo not only booked a future bull, but also made some discoveries in Chinese and foreign education.

Especially compared with the current Peking University, this contrast is particularly prominent.

didn't rush to tell Cai Yuanpei something, Cheng Nuo instead pulled Qin Fen to visit the physical education class of Peking University.

Qin Fen didn't know why: "Hey, Zhiyuan, what are you pulling me to do, I still have tomorrow's preparations here that haven't been completed, so I can't delay." ”

"It's okay, I just want to pull you to inquire about something, and I'll invite you to the restaurant when I'm done." Cheng Nuo said with a smile.

Qin Fen immediately smiled: "This is what you said, I didn't force you, don't shout when the time comes." ”

Cheng Nuo still pulled him forward: "Don't worry, as long as you are a good guide, you will be open to eat when the time comes." ”

"Hey, I love that." Qin Fen no longer resisted, he was pulled obediently, and suddenly became strange as he walked: "No, let's go to the playground, shouldn't you suddenly learn two tricks, and want to fight with me, that's not good." ”

The so-called technical fighting, that is, hand-to-hand martial arts, was born from traditional martial arts, which is currently very popular with students of Peking University, and often organizes competitions in their spare time, although most of the time both sides have a blue nose and swollen face, but there are still many enthusiasts.

The more Qin Fen thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he wanted to pull Cheng Nuo's hand away: "Zhiyuan, we graduated from a school, didn't we secretly eat your pancakes last time, don't you need to practice with me, the senior's appearance is not good, and your sister-in-law may remarry because of this." You see if this will work, I'll buy you ten and pay you back another day. ”

"Oh, my good senior, where do you want to go." Cheng Nuo almost couldn't hold back his smile: "I went to the playground to let you introduce our school's physical education class, I want to know more about this." ”

"What's so good about the military drills in physical education class, it's long gone, fooling people, if it weren't for the requirements of the Ministry of Education, it is estimated that no students would want to take this course." Although Qin Fen was a little puzzled, he tried his best to persuade him after hearing the explanation.

Cheng Nuo was puzzled: "Isn't our Peking University the first to incorporate physical education into school education, creating a precedent for domestic higher education to set up physical education courses?" ”

Qin Fen sighed, and led the way in front of him with his hands behind his back: "Hey, it's been a long time coming." ”

At the beginning of its establishment, the Western-style school had physical education classes, but at that time, it was more called gymnastics classes, which were more militarized. There are fencing, barbed sticks, wooden sticks, dumbbells, football, jumping hurdles, arithmetic race walking, mast climbing, etc. Physical education teachers include foreigners such as German and British, as well as naval officers and soldiers from China.

Affected by this, the predecessor of the Beijing Normal University Hall clearly required gymnastics to be a compulsory general course, the content is mainly freehand gymnastics, apparatus gymnastics and military gymnastics, 2-3 sessions a week, the school has two outdoor and indoor gymnastic fields, and set up a variety of gymnastics equipment. Students are required to wear special uniforms, hats, and shoes during class, all of which are uniformly distributed by the state, with two sets in winter and summer.

It seems to be good, but it has quietly changed its flavor in the future, with strong feudal characteristics, and Cheng Nuo happened to see this scene.

"Sir, turn right! Gentlemen, turn left! ”

"Good work, sir, I'll bring the tea in a moment."

"Guys, hold on a little longer, we'll be over after this set."

Looking at the physical education teacher who respectfully "served" the students, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Senior, you didn't bring the wrong place, this is our Peking University, isn't it a special school for children of the Eight Banners? This is too outrageous, so I almost knelt down and said goodbye directly. ”

Qin Fen seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and said helplessly: "What can be done, these students are all the children of the official eunuchs who stayed in the past, and they all come by sedan chair to class, the servants wait, and the teaching is also hired, and they don't have much confidence to talk face-to-face." ”

As he spoke, the physical education teacher immediately waved at the students and told them to disperse, while he trotted over, and when he reached the front of him, he unconsciously bowed.

"Two gentlemen, do you have any instructions here, if there is anything that is not in place, please correct it a lot, I will definitely change it."

Cheng Nuo's humble appearance made Cheng Nuo can't bear to look directly, and gently patted the other party's shoulder: "I heard that our physical education teachers at Peking University are all capable people with meritorious reputations, and now it seems that they have done everything you can do." ”

When the physical education teacher heard this, his waist immediately straightened up a lot, and said politely: "Mr. has won the award, it is all a false name in the past, I am making tea, do you want the two gentlemen to sit down and drink it." ”

Cheng Nuo waved his hand again and again: "The two of us just happened to be passing by, let's do it another day, I'll invite you to drink another day." ”

After speaking, he quickly pulled Qin Fen away again.

Qin Fen bumped Cheng Nuo with his arm, and said curiously: "Hey, you don't really want to come over to meet this physical education teacher, how do I feel that you are pretending to be something, let's hear it." ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head, took a long breath and spit it out: "You know Tsinghua School, I followed Cai Gong to visit their school a few days ago, and found that people's sports are impressive, and they have also set up track and field teams, football teams, basketball teams and even tennis teams, which are quite rich." ”

"Isn't this normal, the purpose of running a school is to cultivate all-round talents and enhance national strength, so that people can be admitted to American universities and receive the same education as those of Petrous." Qin Fen walked side by side with him and explained: "These sports activities are consistent with foreign countries, and we all participated in them when we went to study in the United States, which is normal." ”

"But the question is, people have it, but what about ours?"

Qin Fen was stunned when he heard this, everyone has it, why can't we have it, before bowing down all day long, he doesn't exercise, he is just a nerd.

Cheng Nuo said in a deep voice on the side: "Especially in terms of the current situation, the importance of sports is particularly prominent, I recently saw an article in the "New Youth", which has a deep memory of the sentence 'If you want to civilize its spirit, you must first barbarize its body', we are too far behind in this regard." ”

In fact, Tsinghua School attaches great importance to sports, and in 1912, Tsinghua School established a sports department. The first two directors of the athletic department were both Americans with doctorate titles hired by the school with a lot of money.

When I switched to Peking University, there are few doctors, let alone a doctor of physical education.

In this regard, after learning of Cheng Nuo's doubts, Cai Yuanpei also shook his head with a wry smile.

"Over the years, the North China Games informed Peking University that although we have the largest number of students, we can't send anyone out, and Tsinghua School always has the highest score, and old friends often laugh at this, and I am also sad when I think of it."

glanced at Cheng Nuo, and suddenly laughed: "Zhiyuan, I guess you must have an idea in your heart, why don't you take the lead, what do you think?" ”

"Cai Gong, this ......"

"If the results are good, we will also set up a sports department, and you will be the minister."
