Chapter 81: Teaching from the State of Yan in the Academy
Chapter 81 Yan Guo’s teaching in the academy
"What is etiquette? This is a very broad and grand proposition, but we cannot stop exploring and researching it just because the proposition is grand, because this proposition is very important. This word is as high and untouchable as the sky, so don't we
Should we cast an exploratory and curious look at the sky? Of course not. We watch the clouds and wind during the day, and we watch the stars and explore the shadows at night. We want to know what the sky is, and we want to know what is up there."
"If a very grand proposition needs to be answered in a way that we can understand, then our answer must be specific and micro, asking about subtleties and specific details. We look up at the starry sky, watch the stars move, and draw pictures in our hearts
Drawing out those beautiful and constant lines will eventually become the art of stargazing."
"What is the sky? It must be experienced and understood from such specific lines, clouds, the upper edge of the breath between heaven and earth, and the upper limit of the vitality fluctuations. The same is true for the word "ritual". If you want to ask me,
If we explore the way of etiquette in detail and look for nouns in concrete images, what kind of answer will we get..."
"As a teacher, I can only express my own understanding. The so-called etiquette is the rules."
The teacher who was responsible for explaining the Etiquette Department was an associate professor of the Etiquette Department of the Academy. He was about sixty years old. He spoke very slowly and enunciated very clearly. The lecture content was quite organized. The students in front of the desks were all listening.
He was extremely serious, but Ning Que was already drowsy. The clearer the words came out from the teacher's lips, the more he felt that the sleepy bugs in his mind were getting bigger and more irresistible.
When he was admitted to the hospital, his score in the etiquette department was at the bottom of the Ding category. He had never been interested in these contents in his past life and his future life. In recent years, Cheng Risuke has been busy writing, meditating, killing, setting fires, gambling, and sleeping. He is really powerless.
In a daze, Ning Que couldn't help but think with some despair, how painful it would be if his life in the academy in the next few years consisted of spending all his good morning time every day talking about boring words.
What happened next in the bookstore saved him from this desperate fantasy. He once again understood that the academy, which had the highest status in the Tang Dynasty, was indeed no ordinary place, and the teachers here were indeed no ordinary people.
When the old teacher was learning that etiquette is the rule, a voice of great disapproval suddenly sounded in the study: "Sir, our Tang Empire has conquered the world, the Holy Emperor ruled the world, and rebuilt the Book of Rites, it is not based on observing the rules.
"
According to the rules of the academy, you can ask questions in class, so this student's doubts are normal. However, this is the first day of admission, so the atmosphere in the academy suddenly became a little strange. Ning Que woke up from his drowsiness and asked the desk next to him.
Chu Youxian, who was on top, whispered: "Who is it?"
The academy pays attention to teaching without distinction and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Many of the students who can be admitted to study are the children of ordinary people. However, students who dare to question the teacher in the first class must have an extraordinary family background or think of themselves as extraordinary. At this time, standing in the academy
The student next to the desk turned out to be the son of a certain general.
Mr. Jiao Xi looked at him coldly and asked: "In your opinion, can people live in this world without following rules?"
"That's right." The general Huzi said angrily: "We, the Tang Dynasty, relied on using force to establish our country. We relied on ignoring those pedantic rules. We can always win with strong armor and strong spears, but this does not mean that we are disrespectful.
.”
The wrinkles on Mr. Xi's face gradually subsided. He looked at the burly student with an expressionless face and said, "Do you mean to say that it only makes sense to defecate with your fists?"
The student scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's not wrong to understand it this way. For example, the Tang Dynasty attacked Yan State several times. Every time I didn't beat them to the point of calling them father and mother, they even wanted to send the prince here."
Chang'an is the hostage, but how can their emperor dare to be rude to my Majesty the Tang Dynasty? He still wants to be called the Holy Emperor."
Ning Que listened to these words at the back of the study room, secretly thinking that this guy's etiquette score would definitely not be higher than his own.
The teacher walked slowly towards the student, his face still expressionless, but when he walked in front of the student, his voice suddenly became louder, he raised his right hand like a dry tree trunk, and struck him across the face, angrily.
Roaring: "It makes sense to have a big fist? Then it makes sense for me to hit you now!"
There was a scream in the study room. The burly son of a general, who was afraid of the rules of the academy or too respectful of his teachers, did not dare to fight back at all. He was instantly beaten by the skinny old instructor until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his mouth was bleeding.
It looked extremely miserable.
After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Xi finally stopped. He panted and glared at the general's son and said sternly: "If what you said is right, then it is right for me to hit you now, because my fist is bigger than yours."
From the moment Mr. Xi began to beat up the son of the general, the study room was already in chaos. The students stood up in shock, but no one dared to pull Mr. Jin into a violent state. Until then, Situ Yilan refused to accept and said: "Mr.
!If you think you are better than him, so you can hit him, wouldn't that prove his previous point?"
Ning Que was still sitting at the desk, but his mouth had grown to a huge size. He never expected that he would see such a heated scene on the first day he entered the academy. At this moment, when he heard Situ Yilan's retort, he felt very excited in his heart.
I think it makes sense.
The husband turned back and gave Situ Yilan a cold look and said, "I just want to prove his point. Is there any problem?"
Situ Yilan pursed her lips tightly, thinking about the nervous warnings of her father and brothers before entering the academy, but in the end she still couldn't hold back, and with a heartbeat, she said in a trembling voice: "Yes, if you think he is wrong, then
You should not use his principles to teach him. Since etiquette is a rule, you should use the rules to restrain him and punish him."
Mr. Jiaoxi smiled coldly, looked at her and said: "General Yunhui has never read a book in his life. This daughter is a good teacher. But as far as I know, although your two generals have good relations, you and him have nothing to do with each other."
Coming and going.”
"This has nothing to do with friendship." Situ Yilan suppressed the feeling of shame and annoyance, raised her face and said stubbornly: "I am only reasonable."
"Okay, let me explain to you." Mr. Xi looked at the students in the study and said: "No matter it is General Yunhui or any general, even if their fists are bigger than mine and their power is stronger than mine, they still dare not
Come hit me, why? Because I am a teacher in the academy, and this is the rule of my Tang Dynasty."
Behind the study room, Chu Youxian whispered timidly: "Why is this academy in such a mess? But Ning Que, please don't be impulsive and mess with this teacher."
Of course, Ning Que didn't have the courage to go alone despite thousands of people. Looking at Mr. Xi who was wiping the blood on his hands, he thought to himself: "The rules set by the academy are the biggest... This has nothing to do with etiquette.
It can only mean that there is a guy with the biggest fists in the courtyard, but who is that guy? A wife who drinks wine and cuts peach blossoms?"
Mr. Xi picked up the book again, looked at the unwilling Situ Yilan expressionlessly, and said: "Whether you accept it or not, believe it or not, when you can break the rules of the academy, it will not be too late to reason with me.
, as for now, my principle is as simple as this: etiquette is the rules, and it is my rules."
Etiquette is the rule, it is my rule - what a sonorous, powerful, loud, overbearing, unreasonable, and arrogant strong declaration! Ning Que stared blankly at the teacher who looked like an old tree trunk, and found that he could not understand it more and more.
What kind of place is this academy, but I like this ghost place more and more.
get out of class ended on time at noon. The teacher of etiquette held an ink scroll under his arm, blew his long beard under his chin, and walked out of the study room without squinting. He was so arrogant that the students in the study room were stunned for a moment and then immediately exploded and gathered together. In the scene where they were discussing the morning session, Situ Yilan and others rushed to the side of the beaten student, took out a clean handkerchief with concern, and began to clean the wounds on his face. The burly male student's face was covered with bruises Tears of grievance.
"Chu Zhongtian! You worthless thing!" Situ Yilan hit him on the head angrily and angrily said: "If your grandpa sees you like this, he will be pissed to death! You don't understand.
I had the guts to contradict my teacher before, even if I knocked him down, you wouldn’t fight back when my teacher hits you! Even if you don’t fight back, wouldn’t you hide away?”
Chu Xiongtu, the general of the Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty, gave birth to seven sons and thirty-seven grandsons in his life. Chu Zhongtian was the best-educated among his grandchildren. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the academy. It was just his family education.
Chu Zhongtian still possesses a strong and brave body. Who would have thought that he was beaten into a pitiful quail by Mr. Xi earlier.
Chu Zhongtian wiped away the tears on his face, looked at Situ Yilan aggrievedly and complained: "Sister Yilan, you really can't blame me for this. According to my grandfather's teaching, if anyone wants to hit me, I have to hit him back, regardless of whether he is His Royal Highness.
You are still a prince, I really wanted to fight back before...but I don’t know why, I couldn’t move at all just now.”
At this time, Chu Youxian's lazily voice came from the direction of the bookstore: "Cao Zhifeng, associate professor of the etiquette department of the academy, graduated from the academy's art department in the seventh year of Shenfeng in the Tang Dynasty. He has been teaching in the academy for more than thirty years and is a master of Dongxuan realm.
"
As soon as these words came out, the whole bookstore fell silent. Situ Yilan opened his big eyes. After a while, he stamped his feet angrily and shouted: "Even if you are a great Nian master... what would a practitioner do to bully a half-grown child?"
Chu Youxian stepped forward, looked at Chu Zhongtian with a bruised nose and swollen face, sighed, shook his head and said: "You have no way of reasoning about this matter, because Professor Cao Zhifeng... is from Yan."
Ning Que, who was outside the crowd, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this answer. He thought to himself that if you mentioned the empire's victory in front of a Yan man, the other prince would be taken hostage and beaten up... There is really no place.
Reason.
The Tang Empire was dominating the world, and its people were confident and even arrogant. Ning Que admitted that when he faced the barbarians on the frontier grasslands, he would often show some arrogance. But today, it seems that the academy in the south of Chang'an City is eclectic.
Not only the students, but also many of the teachers are from foreign countries, so be careful in what you say and do in the future.
