"Auntie, I'm going to school." Li Lizhi, who was standing tall and graceful with a small schoolbag on her back, said hello to the woman at the door and got into the carriage.
After watching the carriage leave, Changsun returned home with a smile on his face.
As the carriage was driving on the road, Li Lizhi took out her book, reviewed what she had learned yesterday, and previewed today's lessons. She had known since she was a child that she was a member of the royal family, and she was favored by His Majesty and received many generous rewards. Now as she grows older,
, she seemed to understand why His Majesty treated her so well.
But it is clear that it is clear, and the tangle is still tangled. Sister Jinyang grew up with her, and they have a deep brotherly love. His Majesty the Emperor is his own uncle, and her mother...
Thinking of this, she closed the book with her little hands, held her chin in her hands, and looked melancholy. Although Li Lizhi was young, her face gradually opened up and became more and more delicate. Like Princess Jinyang, she was one of the belles of Chang'an Middle School.
, he is quite admired by his distinguished disciples.
At this moment, the maid's voice sounded outside.
"Madam, is breakfast as usual today?"
Li Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "Add another glass of juice."
"yes."
Not long after, a breakfast was delivered to the carriage.
"Salty porridge and fried dough sticks, hee hee." The little girl started to eat breakfast with a smile on her face.
People in the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of eating breakfast, but a certain emperor in the palace had the habit of getting up early to have breakfast, and the ministers went to court accordingly. After a long time, it was inevitable that they would eat something to fill their stomachs like the emperor.
When the custom was spread to the people, some breakfast styles in the palace were also introduced to the people. There is no need to mention the salty porridge and lake, as the people of the Tang Dynasty already knew it. Another type of breakfast style that was added was hand cakes, fried dough sticks,
Steamed buns, dumplings, even fried noodles with soup, or fried rice with eggs.
With the large-scale planting of winter wheat and the popularization of various mills in workshops, wheat noodles are now made more and more finely. No guidance from the emperor is needed. At first, they just opened a hole and made hand cakes. Now the people have used it to their fullest potential.
The clever little brain came up with many wheat noodles meals.
There are also a variety of drinks, including milk, goat milk, etc., as well as fruit and vegetable juices that have recently emerged.
In summer, there is also ice cream.
In terms of appetite, the rich and powerful children of Chang'an enjoyed the food. At the same time, a large number of small vendors who got up early went to the East and West Markets to set up stalls, and sold a lot of things on the road.
If it weren't for the strict military control, there would have been a large number of breakfast stalls in front of Chang'an primary and secondary schools.
After drinking the juice comfortably, Li Lizhi looked happy.
It's such a blessing to be able to eat in the morning.
Wubenfang.
Many luxury carriages were parked in front of Chang'an primary and secondary schools. Some were two brothers from a family, one in middle school and one in primary school. Some were brothers and sisters. Previously, Li Zhiyun had worried that powerful families would not let girls stay in school, but
I didn't expect it to be exactly the opposite.
After the middle school was divided into boys' and girls' schools, the number of female students increased instead of decreasing. At first, Li Zhiyun couldn't figure out why, and it wasn't until later that he figured it out. The main reason is that the rich and powerful families have no shortage of gold, silver, and wealth, so they will naturally try their best to educate their children.
Moreover, the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is not low nowadays, and some are so powerful that they can take the initiative to divorce their husbands.
Women born into a wealthy family naturally do not have to be busy with housework and making a living early. Learning more knowledge and making more friends in school is actually an excellent place to go in the eyes of the powerful.
As for embroidery?
Don't be ridiculous, people in the Tang Dynasty were very martial, not to mention that the eldest princess Pingyang was not dead yet, so not many girls would think that they should stay in the boudoir and embroider.
Compared with female celebrities, they like traveling together and socializing together. At present, whoever can become the most literary and talented woman in the poetry society will be a real lady.
The carriage stopped, and Li Lizhi stepped down gently. At a glance, she saw Princess Jinyang standing not far away, waving to her.
The two little sisters quickly gathered together, and not long after, a group of best friends gathered around them.
After entering the middle school, boys and girls are separated.
It has been six or seven years since the establishment of primary and secondary schools in the 8th year of Takeori. The first batch of children to go to school have also entered middle schools. Soon, the first batch of college students will appear among them.
In the past, although many people coveted the teaching staff of Chang'an Primary and Secondary Schools, they were very skeptical about the educational methods of Chang'an Primary and Secondary Schools. Because this was completely different from their situation of managing books, some children of Shandong aristocratic families refused to attend Chang'an Primary and Secondary Schools.
, continue to choose the old way of learning.
As a result, it triggered a rather big controversy. It even spread to the court. The two sides quarreled over the old and new learning methods.
Finally, the emperor made the decision to take the exam!
Since you all think that the old way of education is better, then take the exam and the results will not lie.
Therefore, representatives of old-style education and representatives of new-style education jointly produced papers and jointly selected students to take the exam.
As a result, the old-style learning faction failed miserably!
The defeat was very miserable.
What does old-style education look like?
Taking one book as the center and taking it as the "dominant" is called family study. For the rest of the scriptures, you can just take a look at it, and there is no need to go into it in depth.
There is a word that says: "family origins".
Nowadays, especially in the Tang Dynasty when aristocratic families were prosperous, the word "family learning" cannot be avoided. Although it is not like in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it is difficult to spread knowledge to the bottom class, but some truly good books and treasures have always been available to the aristocratic families.
collection.
For example, some families specialize in Sang Hongyang's theoretical books, so they are good at cultivating goods. The reason is very simple. If they only study in one aspect, they will naturally have insights and breakthroughs. But in comparison, their knowledge in other aspects will not
Extremely weak.
To put it simply, it's biased.
Facing the students of Chang'an primary and secondary schools who have extensive systematic learning, they are naturally no match.
Why?
This is about the learning method that Li Zhiyun borrowed from later generations, that is, rote memorization.
As long as the learning content is listed as the main subject in the school, the students may not have their own experience, but they must be familiar with the understanding and annotations of their predecessors.
And this is also criticized by people who agree with the old way of learning. Because they feel that if they continue to learn like this, they will not be profound at all and can only learn superficially. It is really not a good way.
However, they had to agree that even students with no talent, under the education of Chang'an Primary and Secondary Schools, would become extremely knowledgeable. From literature to history to geography, they knew almost everything.
In other words, the education method of Chang'an primary and secondary schools is comprehensive training, while the old learning method is elite training in a single department.
Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance.
What's more, Li Zhiyun knew very well that when college begins, the stubborn family masters will see the real "specialist elites."
The old learning method will also give birth to comprehensive talents, such as Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others.
However, is this common?
Very few, very few. Only true geniuses can become the next Du Ruhui or Fang Xuanling.
What Li Zhiyun wants is to change the education system of Datang, add more science subjects and introduce new teaching content, instead of always holding on to the theories of predecessors and speculating over and over again.
With the widespread implementation of imperial examinations, many scholars found that they seemed to be very 'ignorant'.
And 'mathematics', which facilitates operations and calculations, is now an extremely profound knowledge in the eyes of others.
Li Zhiyun had no idea what the future direction of education in Datang would be like, but he was aware of the changes in his own children.
They are already familiar with simple calculations, history, geography and other knowledge, and can even draw a rough map of Guanzhong.
This knowledge will become their foundation when they enter university in the future and choose to specialize in a subject.
