Chapter Sixty-Eight: Initial Heart
The other three nodded.
Zhang Luoze asked still puzzled:
“Why is The Book of Songs the best?”
“The Book of Songs contains Zhu Xi’s collected biographies that you can learn from.”
"Students who choose to read the Book of Songs in Jinjiang County."
“It’s much less than the Book of Changes.”
“There’s a lot less competition.”
Zhang Luo asked again:
"Then in Jinjiang County, which scripture has the least number of people reading it?"
Hu Zhao said softly:
"That must be "Spring and Autumn"."
"The content of "Spring and Autumn" is complex, although the number of words is not very large."
"But there are too many volumes and biographies in it."
"Ordinary people simply can't afford so much."
"Not to mention understanding."
"Without the guidance of a master, you can't learn at all."
This is really the case, and it is exactly what Zhang Luo thought.
A seemingly fair imperial examination.
There are a lot of colorful intestines inside.
We don’t talk about cheating outside the examination room.
But the difference between studying under famous teachers and studying hard on your own is very obvious.
On the surface, it seems that the Five Classics are chosen according to their own wishes.
The only two books that can teach oneself are the "Book of Changes" and the "Book of Songs".
This runway is crowded with people, it’s so crowded.
And those students from well-off families.
You can ask a teacher.
Choose three other books that civilians would not dare to read.
This alone makes it much easier to take the exam than ordinary students.
Zhang Luo understood that Hu Zhao was speaking from his heart.
But he was the one who came through time with the system.
Which scripture should I choose?
Zhang Luo has already thought about it.
He cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you Brother Hu for your kind words, which has benefited Zhang a lot."
Hu Zhao said:
"Zhang Luo, you are extremely talented."
"I can use my clever memory to solve the county magistrate's examination questions."
"Just study hard for a few years."
"It's only a matter of time to pass the children's examination and become a talent show."
Zhang Shengwen and the Wei brothers also responded one after another.
Of course they didn't look down on Zhang Luo.
You must learn the Five Classics well.
At least it will take two years to start.
Zhang Luo has not yet started formal study.
To say that he is just around the corner is already a compliment.
Zhang Luo entered his mind and looked at the explanatory test for level 12.
As long as you take classes well.
Keep reading every day.
I will definitely reach Level 15 in the county exam next year.
We finished talking about the imperial examination.
The five of them talked about the popular psychology today.
Fujian is the hometown of Zhu Zi.
Jinjiang County is not far from Zhu Xi's hometown.
Logically speaking, it should be a place where Neo-Confucianism flourishes.
But the students here are not very interested in learning science.
Wang Yang is the first person in the literary world to admire Xin Xue.
Dean Wei of Quanzhou Academy was a classmate of Xu Jie, the leader of Xinxue.
He is a firm supporter of mind science.
From time to time, Quanzhou College invites fellow students to give lectures.
There are simply countless people in the local community who share their spiritual knowledge.
Of course, professional academics such as science and psychology.
For these poor scholars who are still in the learning stage.
The distance is still quite far.
Kang Jiaoyu also reminded them in class.
Before becoming famous.
Don't delve into these academic studies yet.
The imperial examination still tested Zhu Xi's thoughts and theories.
If you have more contact.
It will confuse your thoughts.
Affect your performance in the exam.
This is also a gap in the learning community.
For a kid from a poor family, how would you know the official who set the exam questions?
This time the focus is on Neo-Confucianism or Psychology.
You can only answer the questions well according to your own steps.
Try to deduct as few points as possible.
And those rich and powerful scholars and talented people.
It is important to know the examiner's academic thoughts in advance.
If the examiner likes Xinxue.
Add some spiritual thoughts when doing the questions.
You will get better test scores.
This is also Quanzhou Academy.
The reason why the number of successful candidates in recent years is more than the two official schools.
Previous teachings.
They all think about getting promoted and have no time to focus on teaching.
Not to mention studying the academic atmosphere.
The dean of Quanzhou Academy was a famous scholar.
I am very sensitive to the academic atmosphere in Quanzhou.
I also have some friendships with some academic and political officials.
The Wei brothers have the best family background among them.
On the popular psychology at the moment.
Very interested.
Especially my younger brother Wei An.
I often save some money to buy books on learning the mind.
Zhang Shengwen is a branch of a wealthy family.
I also listened to some content on spiritual studies.
I can also say a few words.
Hu Zhao is the oldest.
I have studied too hard these years.
I haven’t had much contact with mind science.
Not much interest either.
So he didn't say much.
Wei Kang, the eldest brother of the Wei family, talked about the recent popular academics in Jinjiang County.
He shook his head and said:
"It's a pity that I don't have much money at home."
"You can't go to Quanzhou Academy to listen to the great Confucian lectures."
"I'm just a beginner in mind science."
Zhang Shengwen said:
"Like the method of studying things, I also heard a clan brother talk about it a few years ago."
"I have no idea how to implement it specifically."
"I just knew that the county government was going to build a Xinxue Xiangshe."
"To make sacred incense, you can bring out the beauty of special objects in the incense house."
Zhang Luo was so dizzy after hearing this.
This mind study sounds a bit like Turtle School Qigong.
There are so many people who focus on the study of mind rather than formality.
Zhang Luo was actually right.
Some scholars talked about the study of mind.
It’s not to understand more about the mysteries of psychology.
But now Xinxue is very popular in the capital and cultural circles.
Entering the upper-class cultural circle by discussing the study of mind.
Zhang Shengwen and the Wei brothers have a yearning for the study of mind.
It’s similar to modern people’s pursuit of luxury goods.
It is a pursuit of a better life.
Zhang Luo listened for a while and said:
"The so-called method of investigating things does not require in-depth study."
"As long as it's practical, you can learn it yourself."
"Just recognize what is good for you."
The four of them were stunned at the same time.
Wei Kang, Wei An and Zhang Shengwen all looked at Zhang Luo.
At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the door:
"As long as it's practical, that's a good point!"
The wooden door of the dormitory was pushed open.
Kang Jiaoyu, dressed in Confucian robes, appeared at the door.
The five people quickly stood up and saluted Kang Jiaoyu.
Kang Jiaoyu replied:
"I really didn't expect you to know the knowledge of Taizhou School?"
Taizhou School is a school founded by Wang Gen.
Belongs to a small branch of the Yangming School.
Zhang Luo felt helpless and had no choice but to reply to Kang Jiaoyu:
"This is what my father taught me before he was alive."
Kang Jiao's edict did not go into detail.
I saw him looking at Zhang Luo and saying:
"My father has read hundreds of books and must be a great master."
"It's such a pity that God has played a trick on people and we didn't have the chance to meet!"
Kang Jiaoyu reminded again:
"The knowledge in Taizhou School also has some rebellious sentences."
"You have to take the exam and you can't delve into it."
"But your words are practical."
"It should be the saying that people use it every day."
"It seems to be a bit of a spiritual study."
Zhang Luo said again:
"Actually, learning to read is not only about practicality."
"I think the more important thing is to maintain one's original intention."
Several people were surprised.
That’s right!
I read the book but forgot the copy.
Then the meaning of reading will naturally change.
Kang Jiao still looked at Zhang Luo and asked:
"How to maintain our original intention?"
Zhang Luo thought for a while and replied:
"You must keep yourself clean while studying and never forget your original intention."
