It turned out that Wenshan Academy had a total of six classes, sorted according to A, B, C, D, and Wuji Tiangan, among which Class A was the best student, with the number of students in each class ranging from 36 to 40, and the students in the entire academy were more than 200. Of course, this is only the basic education needs to be classified, Wenshan Academy, like most academies, is more in the form of lectures, exhibitions, lectures, centralized lectures, etc., which is an open lecture, and has some similarities with later university teaching. For example, teaching in a large classroom.

In the Song Dynasty, free lectures were the main form of teaching in the academy. The main professor conducts lectures for an unspecified number of students, regardless of content, time, or region. This form of teaching is different from individual teaching and class teaching, and it is a group teaching system in between. In particular, when a great Confucian gives a lecture at a certain academy, there will be many students who come to visit him, and not only the students of a certain academy can listen to the lecture. For example, the famous Confucian Zhu Xi and his students gave lectures at the White Deer Cave Academy, which attracted students from hundreds of miles to come to listen to the lectures.

In addition, there is another important form of college teaching, that is, lectures. This is a colloquium and debate between the seowons, similar to the academic seminars of later generations. This kind of lecture is very academic in nature and the debate is fierce. Of course, in the Southern Song Dynasty, in addition to literary competitions, sometimes there were martial arts competitions before the academy. The results of the competition are also very important to each college, and it is related to the reputation of the college.

Lu Zilong said to Ling Lingfa father and son: "Our Wenshan Academy has not many students, teachers and students have frequent contact, teachers and students live together, and there are endless ups and downs. Teachers should fully understand students, respect students, motivate students to progress, care about students' growth, and encourage students to excel in their studies. Therefore, when I arrived at our Wenshan Academy, it was equivalent to entering an academic family. The most distinctive feature of my Wenshan Academy is that it attaches equal importance to both literature and martial arts, in addition to giving lectures every day, students also have to practice martial arts. ”

Now it was class time, Lu Zilong took Ling Lingqi to Class A, and Ling Lingfa was taken to Class C by another professor.

Entering the classroom of Class A, Ling Lingqi found that the students in this class were of different ages, the youngest was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest looked to be at least thirty years old. Sure enough, there is still a big difference between the ancient academy and the schools of later generations.

A professor in his forties was teaching, and when he saw the dean bring in a student, he knew that this was a new student! However, he was also very curious, in the class A he taught, the students were all studying in the college for a period of time, and only those who performed well could enter class A, and this student was obviously not a student of the college, but he could directly enter class A, so there must be something special about it.

Lu Zilong smiled as he walked: "Professor Du, the old man brought you a student today, how about you take a look?"

Professor Du hurriedly said: "Dean Lu must have passed the assessment, so this student must be very good." Everything is arranged by the dean. ”

Lu Zilong said with a smile: "Professor Du, this student's name is Ling Lingqi, he is thirteen years old this year, he is a student who is both civil and military, you have found a treasure! I will hand him over to you." ”

After speaking, Lu Zilong said to Ling Lingqi again: "Ling Lingqi, I have come to see your teacher, Professor Du, he is one of the best professors in our academy, you must listen to Professor Du's teachings carefully." For the way of learning, don't precede poor reason. The key to poor reasoning must be reading, and the method of reading is not to precede the order and refinement, and the essence of refinement lies in respecting and holding aspirations. This is not easy to understand. You have to take it seriously. ”

Ling Lingqi hurriedly strode up to Professor Du, made a great bowe, and then said loudly: "Student Ling Lingqi has seen the professor!"

Professor Du wanted to hold up Ling Lingqi, who was bowing down in front of him, only to find that he couldn't hold up this schoolboy who was only thirteen years old, he was shocked in his heart, this student is really extraordinary, although he doesn't know martial arts, but his strength is not small, and this student didn't move at all when he used seven points of strength, which shows that he is at least outstanding in martial arts. Then, what the dean said about both civil and military should be true.

Fortunately, Ling Lingqi quickly stood up on his own, which saved Professor Du from embarrassment. But Lu Zilong could see it.

Professor Du nodded and said, "Ling Lingqi, from today onwards, you will be a student of Class A of Wenshan Academy, so you can stand on this podium and introduce yourself to everyone!"

Ling Lingqi is not stage frightened, just kidding, he was a Zhongnanhai bodyguard in his previous life, and he has seen countless big names, how can he be nervous in such a small scene. I saw him standing on the stage, bowing to his classmates, and then said loudly: "Hello everyone, I am Ling Lingqi, and I am very happy to be able to get along with you day and night in the coming days, learn and progress! My name is very easy to remember, Ling of Top Gun, Ling of Peacock Ling, and seven of one, two, three, four, five, six, seven." Thank you for your kind attention. ”

Ling Lingqi's performance of neither humility nor arrogance made Professor Du nod frequently, it seems that this student is indeed extraordinary.

The students also applauded and welcomed, Ling Lingqi looked harmless to humans and animals, and spoke very modestly, which immediately won a lot of favor.

Lu Zilong smiled and said, "Okay, you can continue the class, and the old man won't bother you!"

All the people in the classroom wrote to Lu Zilong, which shows that Lu Zilong still has a very high status in the hearts of professors and students.

When Lu Zilong left, Professor Du smiled and said, "Ling Lingqi, you can sit down in the last row and listen to the class! If you have any questions, you can come back to me after class." ”

Ling Lingqi nodded and said, "Yes, Professor!"

Ling Ling strode to the last row of seats, and next to him sat a young man in his twenties, judging from his dress, he must have come from a wealthy family. In comparison, Ling Lingqi's dress looked a little shabby, but there were also many children of poor families in Wenshan Academy, so the noble son did not show any unhappiness. After all, in Wenshan Academy, it is very important to pay attention to the friendship of classmates, and students generally need to live in the college.

Of course, the main form of college teaching is self-study. Although the professor also gives lectures, after all, the time is limited, and students need to experience the content according to the professor's lectures, although the college also stipulates the content to be studied each year, but the progress of the course can be slow or fast, according to the actual situation of the students.

Professor Du said aloud: "Everyone should keep in mind the six methods of reading, step by step, familiarize themselves with the thoughts, be humble and thoughtful, observe themselves, work hard, and be respectful and determined! Next, we will talk about "Qin Xingshi's Seeking the Nine Tripods in Zhou", a three-inch tongue is stronger than a million soldiers, and a one-person argument is more important than the treasure of the Nine Tripods......

In this way, Ling Lingqi began his academy life. Of course, with the addition of Ling Lingqi, Wenshan Academy has also begun to become different, which is a later story.
