Chapter 68: The Original Heart
The other three nodded.
Zhang Luo still asked puzzled:
"Why is the Book of Songs the best?"
"The Book of Songs has a collection of Zhuzi's biography that can be learned."
"Students who choose to read the Book of Songs in Jinjiang County."
"It's a lot less than the I Ching."
"There's a lot less competition."
Zhang Luo asked again:
"Then in Jinjiang County, which scripture is the least widely read?"
Hu Zhao said softly:
"That must be "Spring and Autumn"."
"The content of "Spring and Autumn" is complicated, although the number of words is not very large."
"But there are too many volumes and biographies in it."
"The average person simply can't afford that much."
"Not to mention understanding."
"Without the guidance of the master, I can't learn it at all."
It's really like this, it's not bad what Zhang Luo thought.
Seemingly fair imperial examinations.
There are a lot of flowery intestines in it.
Don't talk about cheating outside the exam room.
However, the gap between studying under a famous teacher and self-study is very conspicuous.
On the surface, it seems that the Pentateuch is chosen according to one's own intentions.
The only ones who can be self-taught are the Book of Changes and the Book of Songs.
This runway is crowded with people, crowded to death.
And those students from good families.
You can ask for a teacher.
Choose to read the other three books that civilians dare not choose for their own reading.
This alone is much better than the test of ordinary children.
Zhang Luo understood that what Hu Zhao said was from his heart.
But he's the one who came with the system.
Which scripture to take?
Zhang Luo had already thought about it.
He arched his hand and said:
"Thank you Brother Hu for your kind words, which have benefited Zhang a lot."
胡照 says:
"Zhang Luo, you are very talented."
"I can use ingenuity to memorize the exam questions of the county master."
"Just study it for a few years."
"It's just around the corner to become a showman through the children's exam."
Zhang Shengwen and the Wei brothers also responded one after another.
Naturally, they didn't look down on Zhang Luo.
It is necessary to study a good copy of the Pentateuch.
To say the least, it takes two years to start.
Zhang Luo has not yet begun his formal study.
To say that he is just around the corner is already praised.
Zhang Luo entered his mind and looked at the twelfth level of the explanatory scientific examination.
Just take your own classes.
Read books every day.
By next year's county examination, I will definitely be able to reach the fifteenth grade.
After chatting about the imperial examination.
The five of them talked about the popular science of mind today.
Fujian is Zhu Zi's hometown.
Jinjiang County is not far from Zhu Xi's hometown.
It stands to reason that it should be a place where science flourishes.
But there is not much interest in the students here who will learn science.
The first in the literary world is to respect Wang Yang's psychology.
Dean Wei of Quanzhou School is a classmate of Xu Jie, the leader of Xinxue.
He is a staunch supporter of the study of mind.
From time to time, Quanzhou University invites everyone to give lectures.
There are simply too many people to exchange minds in the local area.
Of course, science and mind are such a professional academics.
Let's talk about these poor scholars who are still in the learning stage.
It's still a bit far away.
Kang also reminded them in class.
Before fame.
Don't delve into these academics just yet.
The imperial examination is still Zhu Zi's ideological theory.
If you have too much contact.
will confuse your own thoughts.
Affect your performance in exams.
This is also a gap in the learning community.
For the children of the poor family, how do you know the officials who made the exam questions.
This time, the focus is on science or mind.
You can only follow your own steps to answer the questions well.
Try to deduct as few points as possible.
And those rich and powerful scholars and talents.
Being able to know in advance the importance of the examiner's academic thinking.
If the examiner likes to study by heart.
Add some mental thoughts when doing the questions.
You can get better test scores.
This is also the Quanzhou School.
In recent years, the number of students in the examination is more than that of the two government schools.
Previous Teachings.
They all want to be promoted, but they don't have the heart to teach.
Not to mention the academic climate.
The dean of Quanzhou School is a well-known Confucian.
He is very sensitive to the academic atmosphere in Quanzhou.
I also have some friendship with some academic officials.
The Wei brothers are the best among the several.
To the current popular psychology of mind.
Very interested.
Especially his younger brother Wei An.
I often save some money to buy books on the study of the mind.
Zhang Shengwen is a side branch of the big family.
I've also listened to some mental content.
I can also say a few words.
Hu Zhao is the oldest.
I have been studying too hard all these years.
I haven't had much contact with mind.
Not much interest either.
So I didn't talk much.
Wei Kang, the eldest brother of the Wei family, talked about the recent popular academics in Jinjiang County.
Shaking his head, he said:
"It's a pity that I don't have any money at home."
"I can't go to Quanzhou School to listen to Confucianism."
"I'm an introduction to the study of mind."
张胜文 says:
"Like the method of Gewu, I also heard a clan brother talk about it a few years ago."
"I don't have any idea how to implement it."
"I knew that the county government was going to build a heart learning incense house."
"To make divine incense, mention the wonders of the Gewu method in the incense house."
Zhang Luo was dizzy when he heard this.
This mental study sounds a bit like turtle school qigong.
So many people study the study of mind, and they are a little more important than formal.
Zhang Luo was actually right.
Some of the readers talked about the study of the mind.
It's not to understand more about the mysteries of the mind.
It's just that now the study of mind is very popular in the Jingshi and cultural circles.
By discussing the study of mind, you can enter the upper cultural circle.
Zhang Shengwen and the Wei brothers are like a yearning for Xinxue.
It's similar to modern people's pursuit of luxury.
It is a pursuit of a better life.
Zhang Luo listened for a while and said:
"The so-called method of learning things doesn't need to be studied in depth."
"As long as it's practical, you can learn it in your mind."
"Just recognize what's good for you."
The four of them were stunned when they listened.
Wei Kang, Wei An and Zhang Shengwen all looked at Zhang Luo.
At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the door:
"Just be practical, that's good!"
The wooden door of the dormitory was pushed open.
Kang Jiaoyu, dressed in a Confucian shirt, appeared at the door.
The five of them hurriedly stood up and saluted Kang.
Kang Jiao replied:
"I really didn't expect you to know about the Taizhou School?"
The Taizhou School is a school founded by Wang Gen.
It belongs to a small branch of the Yangming school.
Zhang Luo was helpless in his heart, so he had to reply to Kang Jiao:
"This is what my father taught me when he was alive."
Kang's edict did not delve into it.
I saw him look at Zhang Luo and say:
"Ling Father reads a hundred books, and he must be a big man."
"It's a pity that providence makes people and can't meet them!"
Kang also reminded:
"The learning in the Taizhou school also has some rebellious sentences."
"If you want to take the exam, you can't dig deeper."
"But you can be practical."
"It should be the saying that the people use every day is the way."
"It's a bit of a mental study."
Zhang Luo said again:
"In fact, learning to read is not just about being practical."
"I think it's more important to keep people's original intentions."
Several people were surprised.
That's right!
I read the book but forgot the book.
Then the meaning of reading naturally deteriorates.
Kang Jiao still looked at Zhang Luo and asked:
"How do you keep your original intention?"
Zhang Luo thought for a while and replied:
"If you want to clean yourself in reading, you can't forget your original intention."
