Chapter 295: Yucai(1/2)
The construction of the Ming Dynasty was being implemented in a rapid and orderly manner. At the same time, projects to establish schools in various provinces were also being implemented at the same time.
The team of teachers selected from the Hanlin Academy drove on a journey with various books that had just been printed from the Ministry of Works and were still fragrant with ink and paper.
The earliest implementation was naturally the Nanjing City under the feet of the emperor. Almost in February of the sixth year of Jianwen, the first children's school was the first to recruit students.
This novel place attracted the attention of the entire Nanjing.
What knowledge can be taught in a fully free official school?
The dignitaries and nobles in Nanjing were all moved and wanted to send their children in, so they all found Yingtian Mansion. Chen Shao was also very troubled and could only bite the bullet and send away these civil and military officials who were usually difficult to meet.
The above policy is that the children's education and the young learning are only open to the common people. In principle, it is better to recruit children from a wealthy family. The provinces are better, and the superiors and subordinates can always be tricked into it. He Yingtian Mansion is under the emperor's feet. He gave him a hundred courage and he would not dare to do this.
Three hundred places are naturally not enough for Nanjing City. This world's largest city with a population of millions of settled people is blocked on the first day of the school's enrollment.
As more students enrolled in the school, the teaching in this children's school: a Hanlin Academy gave a choice of lectures. He selected 300 children aged about five or six from this vast child to join the school.
"Teaching in different classes, one hundred people in each class."
The newly made desks and chairs of Nanjing City Craftsmen have completely inherited the appearance of later generations, rather than the usual single and short tables in this era. The small long tables are paired with a bench, and the two children can sit side by side. They have taken the booklets they have never seen before, and put on paper with black ink on them.
"Chinese Studies: One Year".
There are only three courses in the children's semester and only three books, namely "Chinese Studies: One Year", "Mathematics: One Year", and "My Character: One Year".
The first year of admission is the book marked for one year, and the sixth year of admission is the book marked for six years.
This is based on the time of admission, not the age of the student.
Even children who are only twelve years old to enter the school, they must start learning from the first edition.
When you graduate, you will be eighteen years old. Therefore, in the early stages of education establishment, there will never be a minority of students overage. Only when education is fully popularized will it gradually become normalized and age-appropriate.
"Children, cultivate morality before nurturing talents, so before teaching you knowledge, I will teach you to be grateful."
The young Hanlin student was a fellow Jinshi for five years. He put down his books and faced this group of children who were interested in the uniform standard shirt distributed by the school and raised their heads, saying solemnly.
"You will read books by reading, and enter a new world through reading, and welcome a transformation of life. And I am the guide of your new life. Remember my name: Xu Guang. I am your master for the next six years, and I will also be your master for the next six years.
As a teacher, you should preach and learn to help you solve your doubts, and have the merit of cultivating morality and talent. Therefore, you should learn to be grateful before opening the book.
Thank you for giving you this opportunity to learn, and thank you, the master, for teaching you knowledge.
Now, leave your seat, bow to the north, bow three times, and thank your father for his kindness for starting school."
The children all left their seats honestly, and under the leadership of this Hanlin student, they knelt down to the palace with their robes and silence, and kowtowed three times. They shouted childishly: "Long live the king and father."
When the children stood up, Xu Guang continued, "Now, you must bow to your teacher and thank you for your kindness."
"Thank you for your kindness to teach me."
"A man cannot stand without knowing kindness, and it is difficult for him to do without knowing etiquette."
Xu Guang said seriously: "In the first class of every day in the future, you must remember to thank your father for your kindness. In every class, you must remember to pay a gift to the lecturer."
The children shouted in unison: "Affect your teacher's teachings."
Very satisfied with the children's attitude, Xu Guang nodded and let the children sit down and pick up the books.
"Learn to learn to read first, and first learn to pronounce when reading."
There was a cheong rhyme in ancient times, with a total of 193 rhymes. It was divided into 54 rhymes on the flat tone, 51 rhymes on the upper tone, 56 rhymes on the lower tone, and 32 rhymes on the inside. It can be said that it is complicated and complicated. It only takes several years to learn words. Zhu Yunwen naturally could not put it in the future. After decades of hard work, he did not need to use the Chinese pinyin grammar, and chose cheong rhymes to seek far and wide.
So the first lesson of this Chinese study is the special feature of Pop Mofo, which is familiar to every child in later generations.
This is why Zhu Yunwen repeatedly emphasized that in principle, children's education recruitment only recruits children who have never known words, with the purpose of allowing them to learn from scratch without feeling awkward.
To learn pinyin, you have to find the pinyin dictionary. The latter has not been born yet. The Hanlin Academy has included and edited it. The printing work of the Ministry of Works has not kept up for the time being.
If the basics of Chinese studies courses are students' mothers, finals and pronunciations.
The basis of mathematics class is to learn the Ming digits created by Zhu Yunwen and the wisdom of his ancestors, such as addition and subtraction.
These numerical symbols that are different from Chinese characters make these children feel more novel.
The moral class after mathematics class is more boring, and the basis of moral class is cognition.
The relationship between cognitive identities and different identities.
"Emperor, father, mother."
The first thing children know is the meaning of these three identity words, and then the extended nursery rhyme that everyone is familiar with and modified by Zhu Yunwen.
"My father's father is called grandfather, his mother is called grandmother; his father's brother is called uncle, and his father's younger brother is called uncle.
My mother's father is called grandfather, my mother's mother is called grandmother; my mother's brother is called uncle, and my mother's sister is called aunt."
"Master, you said that the emperor is equivalent to our father, so do you mean that the emperor is our father's brother?"
A student asked a question, and the teacher in class smiled and shook his head.
"The description of the emperor being a father is a broad identity. He is not only your father, but also your father, but also your grandfather's father, because the king and father are the father of everyone in the world."
"Wow."
These children were surprised and then scratched their heads.
"Stand in front of the emperor's father, are my father and I brothers?"
In the classroom, there was a burst of laughter.
"loquacious."
The lecturer walked over with a ruler and snorted coldly: "Extend your hand."
"oh."
The naughty boy stretched out his hand and felt aggrieved.
He felt that he was right. Since the emperor is everyone's father, from the emperor's perspective, aren't they all treated the same children equally?
While playing and playing, these children's homework is very fast and extremely comfortable.
One class only lasts half an hour, then a quarter of an hour to rest. After the third class is over, there will be half an hour to eat and lunch break.
After the lunch break, these children will have half an hour of physical training.
After the physical training class is over, it will take another quarter of an hour to rest, and then the class will continue.
Half an hour of homework rests for a quarter of an hour, and finally you can finish school after the last class.
At the end of the day, it took four hours to complete.
Five study classes and one physical training class.
Children's reading life is comfortable and fulfilling.
And when the homework of the day is over, the instructors of the three classes will leave homework for homework.
I can simply write down a few words or copy the Nine-Nine Multiplication Table.
Just like the Nanjing School, in pilot provinces such as Jiangxi and Zhejiang, the Ming Dynasty’s official schools are also being opened in a hot spot. The only difference may be that the “standard” of enrollment cannot be as strict as Nanjing City.
Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture.
There is Qiantang River and Fuchun Mountain Residence. It is Yiguo, Hangzhou Prefecture, and it was also at the foot of Lin'an Prefecture, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The people are outstanding and the land is full of literary spirit.
Qiantang in the spring has faded the spring tide, and there is still a lot of light moisture in the air. Hangzhou is rainy, and it is often half a month. The roads on the streets and ends are wet. The students who are passing by are holding an oil-paper umbrella in their hands, beware of the sudden wind and rain.
"Da da da da da."
The crisp sound of horse hooves sounded, and several scholars raised their heads and saw a horse galloping. It was just amazing. The black high-headed horse was just a small child in red.
"Ha, good guy."
These students were surprised. They obviously knew the children on the horse and exclaimed: "Red Boy, paraded on the streets with a dark horse."
The child grabbed the reins of the horse, looked directly at the students, and bowed to the courtesy as if he was decent, and then proudly said: "Son of the Red Emperor, kill the white snake to the right."
"good!"
Several students applauded and cheered for the child's courage, and then asked, "Where is this?"
"Hangzhou School."
"A six-year-old child, how dare he ride a horse to Hangzhou?"
"Ganluo, even dares to live in the Qin Dynasty."
Seeing this little child, several students couldn't help but make way, watching him leave respectfully, and looked at him with his back and exclaimed: "This child is a real person, and he will be the chief assistant on holidays, and he will be blessed by the Yu family."
"Sorry, amazing."
It is dozens of miles away from Qiantang County to Hangzhou. Just a tiny six-year-old child rode his horse and crashed into Hangzhou Prefecture, which made the teacher of Hangzhou Children's School so shocked that he pinched the list and looked at the serious child in front of him.
"Yu Qian?"
"Students have met their mentor."
The little child is so polite and kind that this Hanlin student is a little helpless.
A genius is called a qilin child.
"Come in quickly, the class will be started in a quarter of an hour."
Unlike other children, Yu Qian's child did not look around when he entered the novel school. He found his position very steadily, straightened his waist and quietly looked through the book "Chinese Studies: One Year" in front of him.
He was able to read poetry in Tang and Song lyrics as early as three years old. The content in this book is very simple to him.
