Chapter VII Hongtang Sociology
Who was Zhang Jing? He served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the Minister of War. He successively suppressed the Yao rebellion and settled Annan. Later, the governor of the southeast was controlled by the army of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian and Huguang. He was specially responsible for the fight against Japanese troops. However, because of his great power, he was trapped in party struggles and was harmed by Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua. Later, Zhang Maojue, the grandson of Zhang Jing, made a statement to the court, and the court posthumously granted Zhang Jing's official position and embezzled his descendants.
In the eyes of the villagers, Zhang Jing is from Hongtang Township, Houguan County. He has the highest official position ever. The Zhang family members in the village are also proud of Zhang Jing's tribe. Such a archway is not only one in the village, but also one in the west gate of the city.
If you walk directly into the village, you will see the Hongtang Society where Lin Yanchao is located. On the side is the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall next to the Zhang Jing. The Society is built next to the ancestral hall of the ancestral hall, which is also a common pattern.
There are less than twenty people in the social school on weekdays and cover only half an acre of land. Although the sparrows are small, they are all complete.
Lin Yanchao walked into the gate with his memory. The center was a lecture hall, and two hais were set up next to it. Among them, Zuozhai built a temple to worship his master Confucius, and Youzhai was a tutor, and the left and right place to sit and rest. The back gap was a turn as a archery garden. After the archery garden, there was a house, a kitchen, thatched cottage, and a standard front hall and back room layout.
There were already disciples in the lecture hall. Lin Yanchao knew that he might be late, so he hurriedly walked around the lecture hall from the corridor, passed through the shooting garden, ran to his cellar, put down his books and luggage.
The house is a long and mattress, and the mattress is neatly stacked on top of the head. On the table with paint falling off in front of the bed, there are unread gray and white volumes that classmates have spread out, and a row of wire-bound books are in the corner.
At this moment, the door was half open, and the sunshine on the ground spread out, coming into the room like a staircase.
"Suspense the tide!"
"Suspense the tide!"
The sound of pushing the door came, and a tall and honest man pushed the door and entered.
Lin Yanchao was stunned for a while before he remembered that it seemed to be his familiar classmate Hou Zhongshu. Lin Yanchao responded tentatively and said, "Zhongshu!"
The other party laughed, it seemed that he was not wrong.
Hou Zhongshu smiled and said, "Yanchao, are you in good health?"
"alright."
"It just so happened that something big happened as soon as you came, guess!"
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Zhongshu, you are still the same, you must keep everything in your pocket."
Hou Zhongshu does like to keep his word indifferently. He looks at others who are anxious to ask questions, but when he sees Lin Yanchao's calmness, he doesn't seem to be anxious at all. Hou Zhongshu complained: "I'll ask you to ask me, I'll be angry when I go home and speak. Are you still asking?"
This kid, Lin Yanchao just cooperated and asked, "I can't guess, please ask Brother Zhongshu, what's going on?"
Hou Zhongshu nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, ask, I'll answer, I'll be interested in speaking in this way. Yanchao, just now I heard the husband talk to Mr. Zhang at the front door, saying that the supervisor will be on the social school and take the school exam soon."
The supervisor is a provincial student who is often respected as a grand master and the chief examiner of the Mid-Sanguanli Academy Examination. He has the responsibilities of comprehending the school's discipline and examining the advantages and disadvantages of teachers and students.
"Yanchao, the inspector came here, which is a good opportunity for me to make a name for myself. If I am appreciated by the great master and promoted to the county school to become a scholar, I will make a name for myself at that time." Hou Zhongshu said confidently.
Just a provincial supervisor and a fifth-rank official, how could he come to Hongtang Society for inspection? This is unscientific and is probably a misinformation. Lin Yanchao did not interrupt Hou Zhongshu's dream, but said, "Go away quickly, we will be late."
When Hou Zhongshu heard this, he suddenly realized. The two of them went out of the hut house, walked past the shooting garden, and walked towards the lecture hall through the porch.
When we were about to reach the door, a 30-year-old scholar in his green clothes came with a big stroll on his back. "Oh no." Hou Zhongshu whispered in a low voice, and could only walk up with a tough bullet.
"gentlemen!"
This person is the tutor of Lin Yanchao and Hou Zhongshu, and Lin Chengyi, the only tutor of Hongtang Society.
Lin Chengyi walked up to the two of them. The other party was tall; his face was a bit blue and white, but his blue shirt was washed white and almost faded. There were one or two patches on it inconspicuous areas. This outfit reminded Lin Yanchao of Kong Yiji and Fan Jin in later textbooks.
Although the other party was dressed poorly, he was meticulous. He still wore a round-necked long gown despite the hot weather. There was no wrinkle on the gown. Coupled with his rigid face, it made people feel awe.
Seeing Lin Chengyi's appearance, Hou Zhongshu, who was a little naughty, also clamped his tail and did not dare to breathe. Everyone in Hongtang Township knew that although Lin Chengyi was born as a child, he was very strict in his studies and no student was afraid of him.
Lin Chengyi glanced at the two of them sternly and said, "Dude is the basis for life, get up early and get a job for three days! You are even too late to learn early!"
As soon as this said, Hou Zhongshu was secretly complaining. Lin Yanchao was about to talk to his husband about postponing payment for Shu Xiu, but this happened.
"Sir, I know I'm wrong." Lin Yanchao and Hou Zhongshu answered together.
Lin Chengyi snorted heavily and paused his footsteps: "Yanchao, your shrew has not been paid yet!"
The book says, is a gentleman ashamed of making profits? Why did the teacher take the initiative to ask students for money?
At this moment, Lin Yanchao could only grit his teeth and said, "Sir, let's wait until Mid-Autumn Festival before accepting it?" He was guessing in his heart whether Lin Chengyi would agree. Judging from his past impression, this Meng Master seemed to be an extremely strict person. He is not rich in his tutors these days, let alone a tutor for children. Lin Yanchao remembers that Lin Chengyi has an old mother to offer.
He took the initiative to mention it, obviously he kept it in his heart, but Lin Yanchao really has no money now, so it seems that he can only be seen coldly by him.
Lin Chengyi asked, "But are there any difficulties at home?"
Lin Yanchao said: "The last time the student got sick, he spent a lot of money, and his family suffered another flood, so he really had no money to pay for the oil and fire. Therefore, he asked the teacher to delay until the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the students were very grateful."
Lin Yanchao spoke earnestly, but he did not show any begging.
Hou Zhongshu on the side also said, "Yes, sir, Yanchao's family is really not well off, I can testify."
Lin Chengyi glanced at Hou Zhongshu and scolded: "Have I asked you something? Go in."
Seeing Lin Chengyi scolding, Hou Zhongshu didn't dare to say anything at the moment, but just returned to the lecture hall with grievance and gave Lin Yanchao a careful look before leaving.
Lin Chengyi looked at Lin Yanchao for a while and said, "Study for yourself. Don't neglect your studies because of your poor family. You are not talented and need to be diligent. If you don't work hard, what's the use of studying? It's better to go home. You should make up for the schoolwork you owe these days. I will take the exam in the next few days. If it doesn't work, you can go home and don't come!"
Lin Yanchao heard Lin Chengyi's long speech, but he didn't know what the other party meant. He seemed to dislike him for not having money to pay the money, and seemed to use this to motivate him and let him work hard. But after all, he passed the level temporarily.
Lin Yanchao entered Minglun Hall, and more than a dozen rural teenagers had sat down. Lin Yanchao looked at him and all of them were his classmates. Everyone knew that Lin Yanchao was scolded, and several of them were gloating.
One of them said coldly: "I can't even afford to practice, so why should I go to school?"
"It is important to be polite for teachers and elders. Is rude people worthy of reading the books of sages?"
"If I were the husband, I would have driven him out of the community."
Lin Yanchao seemed not to hear these words, and walked to the last row of empty tables, a desk made of old wood, with no chairs, sitting directly on the ground.
Hou Zhongshu came over and asked, "Why do you blame me?"
"have."
"Then allow you to give Shu Xiu again until Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"It seems, it seems, and it seems not."
"He said that if I did not do it, I would rush me home."
"It's so miserable, I'm going to wear your little shoes. The teacher has taught "Youth Learning Qionglin" over the past ten days."
“How to say it?”
"I have read this book so hard that I have taken almost a month to recite it. Now I have almost forgotten half of it. He has only given you a few days, so I must be punished."
Soon the sound of footsteps came from outside, and the lecture hall suddenly became silent, and all the students returned to their posture of sitting upright.
Lin Chengyi walked to every student with a ruler. The students were worried. Even Lin Yanchao felt the atmosphere. The Confucian world, king, and teachers, besides the heaven, earth, emperor, and elders in the family, the closest one is the teacher. At this time, the teacher is absolutely the teacher, and the schoolchildren must obey the teacher unconditionally.
Lin Chengyi checked whether the tables, chairs, pens, inkstones, ink ingots, and books were arranged neatly. If there were any messy and slanted ones, they would be scolded, or a ruler was beaten. After the three students were scolded, they saw that the school children did not dare to be naughty and slack, Lin Chengyi nodded slightly and began to teach, and the first thing they taught was "Teachings by Children".
In social studies, Lin Chengyi also teaches students according to the students' progress. He just entered the school and studied "Child Training" and "Elementary School". After one year of school, he read three hundred and thousands of people, namely "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Classic", and "Thousand Family Poems".
All students who have just entered the school sit in a group on the left, facing north, while all students who already have a certain foundation sit in a group on the right, facing south.
At the beginning of the lecture, Lin Chengyi sat north and south, first taught the new students "Child Training" and "Elementary School", while the students with basic skills turned their backs to Lin Chengyi to review the book. After teaching for half an hour, Lin Chengyi started teaching three hundred and thousands of times, and the other half of the students turned around, while the previous students turned around and faced the wall to review the book.
The smell of ink, looking at the water sign hanging between the wall, and stroking the rough tabletop with his hands, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think of studying hard.
When I was reading "Children's Training", Lin Yanchao first took a book from the side and opened the title page to prevent worms. There were dense black-mouthed characters. This book is a must-have for elementary school education. There are also a brief explanation below. The text has been read in sentences, and the rare words are also marked with rhymes.
This textbook is owned by the society. Students have to return it after reading it. As for the accuracy of the text, I don’t know if it was written by a senior from the previous one. The font is correct, and you can tell that it is a meticulous person at a glance. If you read such a book, you will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Lin Yanchao began to read silently with enthusiasm. When Lin Chengyi started to speak the Thousand Characters, he had read it carefully from beginning to end.
"I'm sorry for the crime of slandering the people and attacking them!"
"Zhou Fayin Tang."
"Sit down and ask, and bow down to the plain and flat chapters!"
"Sit down and ask, and arched down to the flat seal."
"I love to educate Lishou, and I miss Rong and Qiang. I miss you!"
"I love to educate Lishou, and I am the minister of Rong and Qiang."
Lin Chengyi first taught children to read each paragraph according to the rhyme, and finally integrated the entire article and read it all.
Lin Chengyi recited a sentence above, and the student shook his head and followed it. He did not talk about the central idea, but only wanted to follow the general meaning of the paragraph. This was the reading method that the ancients read a hundred times and saw its own meaning. Lin Yanchao also recited Lin Chengyi word by word. With his extraordinary memory, he quickly remembered it twice.
On the third time, Lin Chengyi asked the students to put down the book, carry their hands behind their backs, and recite it silently in the classroom.
This is the story of the ability that most of the school children are learning to fill in the numbers. After memorizing with others, only a few school children who have learned the Thousand Characters are leading the way. However, Lin Yanchao did not follow the crowd, but only cared for himself, keeping his words and sentence by word, and could even memorize a Thousand Characters article.
After reading it three times, I memorized the entire thousand-character text. No one believed it. Even Lin Yanchao himself felt that it was not true.
Lin Yanchao felt Lin Chengyi turn his head and look at him, with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Lin Yanchao understood that learning is endless, and he must not be proud and complacent because of his amazing memory. Even if he reaches the point where he can recite it repeatedly, he cannot truly master the essence of the article.
So Lin Yanchao's eyes were focused and he was extremely serious.
A journey of a thousand miles is accumulated in a single step.
