Chapter 76
In the early morning, everything is silent, the sky is dawning, and the night is about to disappear, and the morning light at dawn slowly awakens the sleeping creatures.
The inner hall of the prefect's mansion...
"Hmph! Boy, I'm imprisoned me and ignored me. Today I'm calling me to come here and what's the matter!" Cai Yong bowed solemnly and raised his forehead slightly.
"Sir Cai is at ease. I'm here to apologize to you. I'm busy guarding the house and unable to visit you." Zifan gave a deep greeting, then looked at Cai Yong.
"I'm calling Mr. Cai to come today, and I'm planning to open a school in Youzhou City. Not only all poor children can go to school, but even women can get the right to learn knowledge. I wonder what Mr. Cai wants to do!"
"This...this..."
"It's easy to say. Letting women go to school is a pioneer in the education world."
Cai Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then sighed slightly. "Now the targets of education are noble children, and ordinary people do not have the right to receive education."
"I am a great man and a thousand poor students who are in poverty are fruitless!"
"Yes, because of Ru Sheng, we have to set up a private school and open the door to recruit students, breaking this pattern and allowing everyone to go to school."
"this……"
"This is an unprecedented move. Before this, the school education, academic and cultural knowledge of the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou dynasties were all mastered in the government, which was also impossible to popularize many literary essences. Cai Yong was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately knelt down in shock.
This is what we mean by "learning in the government". In terms of education, people are divided into two categories: one has the right to receive education, and the other has no right to receive education.
Those who have the right to receive education also have the right to run education, and those who have no right to receive education are not the right to run education. Both education and education are privileges. Education serves aristocratic children, and ordinary people do not have the right to receive education."
"Study for the rise and fall of the world..."
"Now wars are everywhere and the situation is chaotic. I hope that the people can be enlightened and progress through learning, achieve success, broaden their horizons, be tolerant of others, and make this country and the world a better place. I don't know that Mr. Cai is willing to do so, I wish you a good help." Zifan looked at Cai Yong solemnly
"I didn't expect you to have such great ideals and ambitions. Cai Yong is not talented. I wish you a great help to study for the country and fight for the nation," Cai Yong bowed solemnly and said in a deep voice.
"Okay... With the help of Mr. Cai, the college will definitely succeed..." Zifan immediately went to help Cai Yong up and bowed affectionately.
"Haha... I'll encourage you...!"
"I hope Mr. Cai can be the dean of my little academy."
"No, no..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Yong refused, "I am old now and I rarely give up my official position. I can teach and educate people seriously. You are the only one who takes the position of dean of the college."
"Since that's the case, I hope you can always serve as the director of the college."
"What's this director?" Cai Yong turned his head and asked.
"This director is a position that supervises and manages all students. If you always serve as the director, you will definitely shock any student in the academy."
"Okay...! Then I won't shirk it anymore."
The matter of Zifan running a school suddenly caused a sensation in Youzhou. Moreover, the college pursued the principle of teaching without distinction. All students went to school for free. The people of Youzhou were all grateful and sent their children to the school to study. Of course, the name Cai Yong is a well-known sign. Who doesn’t want their children to hope that their children will become successful? If they can be worshipped by such a wise man, they will naturally try their best to squeeze their minds.
However, so many students cannot teach together, and their ages are uneven and their knowledge is also different.
So Cai Yong divided the students into several batches according to their age and grouped them by age. Cai Yong found a few older people and asked them to bring them one by one.
Cai Yong also proposed the idea of "gentle and gentleman" and "gentle" and believed that only when the appearance and form are consistent inside and outside are considered elegant gentlemen. Therefore, his educational content emphasizes both virtue and talent, and moral education and knowledge education.
I feel that the concept of "Zi is based on the four teachings, literature, conduct, loyalty, and faith" in the "Analects of Confucius" is not accurate enough, so the educational content of Confucius mentioned here is not divided into "Four Teaches".
Cai Yong believed that learning to be a human being is the most basic. If a person has poor character, then no matter how good his knowledge is, it will harm society. Therefore, the most basic educational content is moral education, that is, strengthening the moral cultivation of disciples.
For example, in order to enable the disciples to accurately grasp and understand benevolence, Cai Yong had answered the questions raised by the disciples many times and in detail.
For example, "strong, righteous, wood, stern, and close to benevolent" means strong, upright, decisive and simple.
He spoke cautiously, which was close to benevolence. He also proposed a series of specific concepts such as filial piety, loyalty, trustworthiness, diligence, righteousness, courage, respect, sincerity, forgiveness, gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, gratitude, humility, harmony, lenientness, agility, and favor, enriched and developed the content of moral cultivation. He asked his disciples to distinguish between good and evil and "be ashamed of doing things."
"Love benevolence" and "benevolence" have something to do and not do anything to do. This kind of emotional manifestation of likes and dislikes is "knowing shame".
One day, Zifan tiptoed into Cai Yong's house, afraid of disturbing Cai Yong. At this time, Cai Yong was working, with several big books on the table, and the big and small things in the school being processed blocked his whole body. From time to time, the sound of stepping and sighing came from the house, constantly.
"I don't know what the school is doing, but what's wrong with it in the near future!"
When Cai Yong heard Zifan's voice, he immediately put down the brush in his hand, shook his head and stood up.
"There is no problem in the school recently. It's just that some school children are too young and teach too proudly, so they can't understand it. Alas... I have lived so long before I feel the suffering of the grassroots people."
"It's so sad..."
"Mr. Cai doesn't have to sigh as much as he wants. In a few days, I will order my men to send some books. The content is simple and easy to understand. They will definitely understand it. It is more suitable for use as textbooks." Zifan said with a smile.
"Oh! I don't know what book it is, can I explain it to you?" Cai Yong asked curiously.
Zifan smiled, "The name of this book is the Three Character Classic."
"Three Character Classic...!
Why don’t I remember this book? I don’t know where the prefect got it.”
"oops!
Yes Yes Yes ... This book was written because I was bored."
Cai Yong was shocked when he heard this, but he chuckled and chatted.
"Three Character Classic" is a traditional Chinese enlightenment textbook. Among ancient Chinese classics, "Three Character Classic" is one of the most simple and easy-to-understand readings.
In the format, three words and sentences are easy to read and concise. They are educational works that take Chinese history as the material, rooted in traditional culture, emphasize that education takes "virtue" first, learning is the most important thing about permanence and the impact of the environment on learning, and talk about the importance of education and learning.
Of course, this was also what Zifan asked for in a stern manner in the system.
A few days later, Zifan sent someone to deliver the book to Cai Yong. Cai Yong didn't care at first, and he showed a chuckle on his face, thinking that what he wrote during his leisure time could have something good, but gradually, he read it later.
Cai Yong's eyes were so wide that he couldn't help but read it gently: "At the beginning of human beings, people are good in nature, their natures are similar, and their habits are far away..."
The Three Character Classic was read out word by word in Cai Yong's mouth. Cai Yong read all kinds of books, but was also shocked by these Three Character Classic!
"Each three words is a group, catchy and easy to understand. This is a good book for elementary school!"
Cai Yong's eyes could not hide his excitement, "This, this..." Cai Yong was so excited that he couldn't even say anything, "This article is really the best book to be enlightened! This... is really a talent." Cai Yong clasped his fists with his hands and bowed to Zifan.
"Haha, that's great..." Mr. Cai was over the award, and Zifan said modestly.
"Mr. Cai, I suggest that you can put every sentence in a picture, so that it will be easy for children to learn the meaning." Zifan spoke again.
Cai Yong lost his mouthful of tea. He had never heard of this method, because there were too few painters in this world and all the difficulties were in troubled times.
"Yes, but although this method is good, I'm afraid that the funds are insufficient and I can draw. Most of them are masters. In addition, the amount required is huge, I'm afraid that I'll spend too much money."
Zifan waved his hand as soon as possible, "It's okay, even if you continue to give me instructions, Mr. Cai doesn't have to worry about the funding issue."
The treasures brought from the tomb are enough to deal with any money problems today, and the bulging words in the wallet are naturally much tougher.
