Guozijian has a total of five doctors of the Five Classics, and 15 teaching assistants, who are in charge of six classes. On this day, the Chengyi Class is taught by Xie Jing, a new Jinshi assistant who has been assigned to the prison after the pilot test this year.
Chengyi Hall is not like Zhengyi, Chongzhi, and Guangyi three halls. There are also a few years old Xiao Xungui who read and practice rituals in it. The students who come in are all the supervisors who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and can write essays. Therefore, Assistant Professor Xie did not take special care of the six new students who were assigned, and only taught "University" at his own pace.
He is talking about "That's why the gentleman is careful about virtue first. If you have virtue, you will have people. If you have soil, you will have wealth. If you have wealth, you will be useful."
However, when he was teaching the book, he did not speak according to the chapters and sentences, but started from "be mindful of morality first, and you must be careful about the above." This sentence, Cui Xie, is very familiar to him, and it is exactly the sentence in the "Complete of the Four Imperial Books" given to him by Master Liu.
Guozijian is a school established by the emperor, and the textbooks used in it are naturally the "Daquan" compiled by Taizu in the past, which is also reasonable.
Cui Xie's hand holding the charcoal pen was hanging over the paper, and he skipped most of the text in "Daquan", and simply wrote down a few words to remind himself. Only the teaching assistant cites the contents of "two or three virtues" and "not persevering in virtue" in the "Book", "Yi" and other sutras, and expounds his own summary of "the merits of Mingde, which are based on knowledge, knowledge, sincerity, and integrity." It's only the heart" that I wrote hard and quickly wrote down these things.
He talked about the university and also talked about the "Encyclopedia of Sexuality" and "The Compendium of Zizhi Tongjian", all of which he has memorized. In this class, he finally didn't have to rush to take notes, and he could sit up straight and listen to the lecture like other classmates.
Assistant Professor Xie also walked over to his desk after the class was over, picked up the folded notebook, and held the folds with the contents of his class in his hand. He compared it with the two Siye and the doctor the day before yesterday, and his amber eyes lifted. When he got up, he asked him with a light smile, "Why did the two adults remember such a detailed lesson before, and only memorized a few sentences when they came to me? Have you memorized the analysis of these sentences after 'Yuxi Lu Shi'?"
Standing behind the table, Cui Xie replied without hesitation: "Yes, when the students were at home, a senior Mr. Liu gave the book "Daquan", and he memorized this chapter. Yuxi Lu said: Virtue means virtuousness, and virtue means virtuousness. It is called Mingming and Virtue. First, be careful about Virtue, and then the foundation of peace is the foundation of the world…”
Xie Jingwei was a little surprised, and showed a somewhat natural look, and sighed: "Generally, students only read "Daquan" after entering school. Nowadays, the academic field does not respect Daquan, and fewer people read it. I've memorized it. It's no wonder, after all, you are the one who can produce the "Four Books of Dialogues", and let this soldier be a model of martial arts students..."
He put the notebook back on the table, straightened up and glanced at the living beings in the lecture hall, raised his voice and said, "You new students are late, come to me after class where you haven't heard before, and I'll tell you from the beginning. If there are other books that you can't read. If you know something, you can come to me, although my basic scriptures are "Shangshu", but I have also learned some of the Five Classics, and I can teach you."
Everyone agreed. Assistant Professor Xie turned around and left the class with a stack of lesson plans, and Cui Xie packed up his schoolbag and hurriedly ran out to chase after the assistant teacher.
He was a man who had studied martial arts, and he walked lightly, but Assistant Teacher Xie didn't walk very fast. The direction they walked was the opposite of that of the students who usually went to the dining hall or the numbered room. The road was very quiet, and he turned his head before he could get close to Xie Jing.
Cui Xie looked at him, stood up and said, "Mr. Fang Cai said, I can come over to make up the class..."
Assistant Professor Xie first looked at the clepsydra outside the Yilun Church. Seeing that it was still early, he nodded and took him back to the compartment where the assistant was resting. There were still two teaching assistants in the room at the time, and they had nothing serious to do. They were all reading books idle. When they saw a primary school student, they gave them a fresh look.
Assistant Professor Xie told them the names of the students, and then introduced the two assistant teachers to him. After he saluted, he pulled him to his seat and asked, "Do you want to make up for the schoolwork from the other day?"
Cui Xie respectfully cupped his hands and replied, "Exactly... If you still want to ask the teaching assistant to teach the "Book" scriptures, can you? When students read "University", they often quote sentences from "Book of Books" in the text. Although the teacher taught how to interpret it at the time , but when students turn to the original scriptures, they often do not understand, and the student's professional teacher is also a "poetry", and some parts cannot be explained in detail. I hope to ask a teaching assistant to teach me to read the "book"..."
Assistant Teacher Xie said: "Your business is to manage "Poems", do you really want to read "Books" from me? This is not beneficial to your original scriptures, and it is not necessarily beneficial to your business."
Choi Xie looked at him suspiciously.
Assistant Professor Xie glanced at him and explained: "If you can concentrate on reading your "Poems", according to the articles you wrote when you were in prison, you will have a chance to take the test in the next year, and you will end up at the age of nineteen. You can try. If you manage more than one scripture, you will spend all your time in textbook scriptures and writing articles. If you don’t succeed in the first three years, there will be many talents in the world, who will remember you, the little three-year-old desk chief?”
Cui Xie was stunned for a while, but he was a little worried that the time would drag on. In the middle, Cui Ju returned from Yunnan and would cause him any more trouble.
However, among the Five Classics, he has only formally studied the Book of Songs, and the rest are memorized by himself. When citing other meanings of the scriptures, I am always afraid that there is a typo or explanation that is wrong. If he continued to write like this, he was afraid that after the accumulation of modern times was exhausted, his thinking would be bound more and more narrowly, and he could only repeat himself one by one after writing.
When he was in the county, he could still be fooled. There are real scholars and writers everywhere in Beijing. Can he still be fooled
He gritted his teeth, looked up at Assistant Professor Xie, and said earnestly, "Students just hate that they have read too few books in the past. Now that they have to study in Sinology, they want to try their best to learn more. Mr. Wang will teach me."
The two teaching assistants next to him also persuaded: "We are teaching in Sinology. It is rare to meet a student who loves learning. What can we do with him?"
Xie Jing said: "At such an age and knowledge, he has to leave the scriptures behind and treat other things. Why don't he just marry a wife and take a concubine, only those on both sides are left out, where can they all be cured?"
The two colleagues laughed and called him rude. Xie Jing joked with his colleague, then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Come and sit down, I'll make up for you the homework of the previous chapters. I'm afraid your former husband can't understand half of it himself, which makes you so bold. Son, you need to study the scriptures when you open your mouth... In fact, you students don't need to go through the five scriptures, you only need to understand the "Four Books" thoroughly, and the five scriptures will be understood."
Cui Xie responded, moved his chair over, opened his notebook, and listened to him talk about "The Way of University".
Just a few quarters of an hour before lunch, Assistant Professor Xie hurriedly said the phrase, "If you know what's first, you'll be close." Looking at the sun outside, he told him to go to the dining hall to eat first, and then come back after school in the afternoon. Cui Xie also saw that it was getting late, and was afraid that he would disturb the gentlemen's meal, so he quickly got up and apologized.
Xie Jing waved his hand: "Don't say this, I brought my own food, just to see your physique... I'm afraid you'll starve. It's better to come slowly when you study, you're still young, don't rush to read so many books. In a few days, I will teach you Mr. Xishan's "University Yanyi", and I will give you some scriptures and history, and I will talk about it after the passage of the Shangshu scriptures—"
Cui Xie hurriedly wrote down the words "University Yanyi", thanked the teaching assistant for his teaching, and got up to pack his schoolbag.
He also brought a lunch box, and when he packed up the pen and paper, he took it out to eat in the dining hall. When Assistant Professor Xie saw it, he said, "Did you bring food? Then I'll ask Zhaifu to cook it for you, which is more convenient than going to the dining hall."
Cui Xie said with a smile: "The students bring the pancakes with sauce meat from home, which can be eaten cold. It is more convenient to transcribe notes while eating in the dining hall."
Assistant Liu from the wall said with a smile: "Notes are best written on the header of the book. If you look down, you can refer to the article for details. It is inconvenient to write down a single notebook."
Assistant Teacher Xie shook his head and said, "Brother Laigui didn't see it. He remembered the notebook for a long time. He has half of it... Take it out and show it to Assistant Professor Liu."
Isn't this just the head teacher showing off the students in his class to other class teachers. Cui Xie felt a little nostalgic, and took out his notebook with great joy—but it was not the one that he usually wrote down in the hall, but a new notebook that he re-transcribed after returning home, and will be specially used for recording in the future.
The notes were copied in Taiwanese style, straight and clear, still in the size of one grid and two lines. The handwriting is divided into three colors: ink pen for ordinary content, indigo for important ones, and vermilion ink for the most important ones. The content quoted from other scriptures is coated with a thin layer of Huangbo water, dyeing the entire grid light yellow, which is more conspicuous on the snow-white mulberry paper.
At a glance, you can distinguish the importance level and which part should be recited the most.
The two assistant teachers Liu and Wang looked at it together. The more they looked, the more neat they felt, and they couldn't help sighing: "This is simply more refreshing than the margin annotations in "The Six Talents Annotated Edition of Three Kingdoms", such a serious student."
Ashamed, the layout of "Three Kingdoms" was also designed by him.
The two teaching assistants said that the Three Kingdoms hadn't published a new book for a long time, and Ju Anzhai didn't know whether it was a real or a fake one, and their hardcovers were all bought for nothing. Cui Xie, the boss, became more and more embarrassed as he listened. He returned to Assistant Professor Xie's desk with his notes and said goodbye to Assistant Professor Gao Jie, who didn't read idle books.
Assistant Professor Xie looked at the notes he had really made, and couldn't help but praised his intentions, and did not mention letting him go back, and asked, "You really only started to treat the scriptures when you returned to Qian'an County? Just like the Lord Benbing said. Yes, you can pass the examination after two years of study? Did you read Daquan in the capital, or did you read it in the countryside?"
Cui Xie didn't know why he remembered asking himself about an ordinary student's schooling experience, but he answered honestly: "Students are young and ignorant at home, and they don't know the importance of studying. They only start working hard when they arrive in their hometown."
Xie Jing asked, "But because the countryside is so hard and there is nothing to do except study, can you be determined to learn?"
Cui Xie's life in Qian'an is extremely rich, and he can paint sour every day just by painting. There is absolutely no "nothing to do". Moreover, he has to learn bow and horse, manage the shop, and participate in poetry festivals with scholars to promote his books and paintings...
He remembered the hard but often found fun days, and also thought of those friends, and he was a little distracted.
It wasn't until Assistant Professor Xie said "um" beside him that Cui Xie came back to his senses, lowered his head and replied, "My father sent the students back to their hometown that day for this year's annual exam. There are exams hanging ahead, plus A student was injured by a thief on his way back to his hometown, and when he was recovering, he realized that life is impermanent.
His injury has won the Emperor's Jing Award, and he only needs to hide from his grandmother, and there is nothing he can't say to others.
"Well... There is a big terror between life and death, and it's natural to have an epiphany when you find out." Assistant Professor Xie put down his notes and slowly chewed his words, just like drinking chicken soup for the soul, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what to think of. .
Cui Xie wanted to say goodbye to him again. Assistant Teacher Xie came back to his senses and didn't tell him to leave. He cleared the table and said, "The dining hall is far away, and it takes time to go back and forth, so you are here. Let’s eat here, and take notes by the way. It’s also quiet here, so that no one disturbs you when you go back to the school.”
He also rudely spent the afternoon in the office, copied the morning notes, recognized a few teaching assistants, and went back to the classics class in the afternoon with a teaching assistant Du who taught Poetry.
After class, several classmates who copied his notes last time still gathered around and asked him, "Brother Cui Xian's notes are all memorized? Brother Yu wants to check again..."
Cui Xie copied all the notes in the morning, printed the PDF in his mind, and lent both copies to everyone to copy.
Those classmates who had not memorized the Daquan were planning to borrow a copy from Yi Lun Hall to check it out. Unexpectedly, he made up such a neat and clear version. The books printed by Zhirong Bookstore are not so neat and clear. If someone prints such a book, even if it is something I copied myself, I have to buy a copy…”
Choi Xie was also deeply moved.
If someone invented a copier now, wouldn't he be able to directly copy Mr.'s lecture notes, and use a highlighter to highlight the key points during the lecture? Why bother to memorize hard in get out of class and re-copy it after class
It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to read the lectures directly. Maybe after a few years, he has sorted out the lectures of the instructors, but he can print a few copies for the benefit of future juniors.
