A student becomes a teacher, even though he is not obedient, but he has the kindness of his father and brother, so he is called a disciple! The person who transfers to teach is a disciple, and there are often thousands of them, so Confucius said that he has three thousand disciples.
The direct disciples are the direct disciples or direct disciples, and the further ones are the successors. These are the direct descendants of the master.
Wang Shugong was a good friend of Zhang Jian's father. He was recommended by the elders, so Zhu Kui became his disciple as soon as he entered the family.
Since his rebirth into this world, Zhu Kui has developed a good habit that he never had in his previous life. As a person born in the 1980s, he likes to sleep late, go to bed late and get up late, and his body is extremely relaxed.
Nowadays, I get up every day when the rooster crows. After washing up, I start running around the village, then read a book for a while, and then go out on the boat to fish.
There is no rooster in Meihua Villa, but several years of running habits have penetrated into Zhu Kui's bones and formed a biological clock.
After jogging around the villa for two times, I picked up a bucket of water by the well and scrubbed it. After feeling that it was almost time, I walked to the front lobby. At this moment, Zhang Jian and Uncle He were both there, and there were three breakfast dishes on the table.
, full of millet porridge and three plates of wild vegetables, without meat or anything else.
Zhu Kui arrived late, and the two of them were already eating with chopsticks. When they were running around the village, they had already seen Uncle He fetching water, but they didn't want to turn around like this. The meal was ready, and the husband got up, but he missed it.
Time, I am afraid that my husband will misunderstand that I have a loose personality, and I am complaining that my temper that has been wandering around in the past needs to be cured.
"Disciple is late, please punish me sir."
Hearing the sound, Zhang Jian stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Zhu Kui with a look of perseverance. After he woke up, he came to the lobby and saw no one for a long time. During breakfast time, people were waiting. This
Bad habit.
Zhang Jian's dining table is in the main position, He Bo is in the lower left position, and Zhu Kui's dining table is in the lower right position. This means that the status of the disciple who entered the house is higher than that of the old servants of the Zhang family. Of course, it is only in terms of status, not trust.
Seeing Zhu Kui's expression that he didn't know how to explain, Uncle He felt a little soft-hearted, so he spoke to help: "Master, Sanlang polished his body well this morning. He must have wiped off the smelly sweat just now. It would be rude to the master."
In front of me, I will urge him to move more quickly next time."
"Never again, let's take a seat!" Zhang Jian raised his head and said, no longer looking at him, and buried his head in eating his own food.
After eating and sleeping in silence, the three of them finished their breakfast quietly. Zhu Kui wanted to help Uncle He clean up the dishes, but he heard Zhang Jian in the hall say: "You are my disciple, just let Manager He do these things."
Now, we’re going to start class.”
After the wooden case was cleared, Zhu Kui sat on the table in an orderly manner, with his hands on his knees and listened to Zhang Jian's words.
"Now that you are my disciple, I will teach you with all my heart."
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, he picked up three volumes of bamboo slips from under the case beside him and placed them on the case. These were all written and compiled by him last night. He asked: "Did you finish studying "Jijiupian" when Wang Shibo was here?
"Cangjie Pian" and other literacy books? Is there any obstacle in reading books by oneself? "
"My disciple has read through the children's literacy chapter, and he has become literate over the years." Zhu Kui said modestly, but he did not say that he had read all the books in Wang Shugong's collection.
"That's very good. These three volumes are "Nine Chapters", "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Classic of Filial Piety" respectively. Read the Analects of Confucius first, then read the Classic of Filial Piety. Read it through again. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Zhang Jian sat on his knees.
, pointing to the bamboo slips on the case.
"Yes, teacher." Zhu Kui responded, stepped forward, picked up the three bamboo slips, returned to his seat, and started reading.
In the Han Dynasty, apart from teaching literacy and pronunciation, which was taught by teachers personally, other methods basically relied on self-reading and solving puzzles with teachers.
Picking up the Analects of Confucius, Zhu Kui spread it out on the wooden table, nodding his head up and down, moving horizontally, his dark eyes, and the words jumping from bottom to top. Zhang Jian's calligraphy was square and simple, and it was effortless to read. He quickly scanned the Analects of Confucius.
When finished, roll it up and set it aside.
This volume of Analects is exactly the same as that of Wang Shugong, so it seems to be the same version.
Soon the "Book of Filial Piety" and the "Nine Palaces" which talked about basic mathematics were also swept away by him. He had already read these three volumes of tablets before, and had long been able to read them backwards, especially the "Nine Palaces".
His mathematical ability was far beyond his scope, and he could read it effortlessly. However, since his teacher ordered him to read it once, he had to read it again, and it took no more than a hundred breaths for him to read it.
"Teacher, the students have read it once." Zhu Kui knelt down and bowed with his hands in hand.
"Huh?" Zhang Jian turned to look at him and put down the letter. He just had time to regain his composure. How could he finish reading it? He was about to reprimand him when he suddenly recalled that Uncle Wang's silk had written: "My disciple is naturally clever and precocious."
, and also has a photographic memory, having read a lot of books when he was young...
"Well, you will memorize each volume and listen to it with me."
Unexpectedly, the teacher was not angry and did not think that he was perfunctory. He was a little surprised and shook his head and said: "The Master said: "Isn't it normal to learn and practice it from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? People don't know and are not surprised.
, isn’t he a gentleman?”
"...It is impossible to be harmonious and to be harmonious without following etiquette."
This is the Analects of Confucius, followed by the Nine Palaces and the Classic of Filial Piety, which are also recited one by one without any hesitation.
Zhang Jian listened to Zhu Kui's little head shaking and his crisp reciting voice, and then he realized that he had underestimated him. He had prepared the three volumes of books in vain last night. It seemed that he had to first understand what his disciple knew.
.
"Very good. I don't want to learn so many things at such a young age. When my teacher was your age, I wouldn't be as good as you."
"Teacher Miao praised it." To be honest, Zhu Kui had already read almost all the classics and history books in Wang Shugong's collection. So much so that he thought that Wang Shugong arranged for him to become a disciple in order to gild himself.
"Tell me, which classics have you read?" Zhang Jian asked with a smile.
Zhu Kui replied with a smile on his face: "Among the Four Books and Five Classics, students like the Doctrine of the Mean the most, as well as military books such as Sun Bin, Sun Tzu, and Wu Zi. They also read the Taoist Tao Jing and De Jing.
The Legalist "Han Feizi" and "Guiguzi" and other books... my uncle's collection of books has been read by his students."
The more Zhang Jian listened, the more surprised he became. He slowly began to be in disbelief. Wang Shibo's collection of books was at least five cartloads long. Doesn't that mean that his disciple could read as much as a Confucian scholar at the age of eight? Why don't you just take a test and ask a few questions?
, he really couldn't believe this fact. No wonder Wang Shibo admired him so much and praised him as unique in the world.
It's just that, I'm in a dilemma. If I have anything else to teach others, Zhu Kui can completely discuss it with me. Wang Shibo sent him here, and in the letter he repeatedly asked his elders to accept it. There must be some
What exactly are you considering?
"Shibo knows a lot of friends, so he has to accept me, a criminal who is absconding in Meihua Villa, as his disciple..."
"Ah! By the way, plum blossoms are plum blossom tricks." The Zhang family suddenly remembered that Wang Shibo wanted to teach me the plum blossom tricks handed down from the ancestors of the Zhang family. It was a good plan. Who knows who could see this smart man?
Young people will be happy to accept it. You must know that the smarter you are, the more opportunities you have to develop your plum blossom skills.
Zhang Jian guessed what Uncle Wang meant. Uncle Wang knew Zhu Kui very well. Although Zhu Kui could understand the classics once or twice, especially in arithmetic, he often didn't even need to teach him.
, he can comprehend more and deeper on his own than even he himself can.
Uncle Wang himself was not good at Yi learning, so he thought of Zhang Jian, the son of an old friend, and their family's plum blossom performance.
The study of prophecies is today's official school, and all the Yi scholars are highly respected by the world. It will be easier to become an official in the future.
"Do you know "Yi"?"
"The student has read the "Book of Changes" and King Wen's "Book of Changes", but the student is dull and can memorize it but does not understand its essence." Zhu Kui answered truthfully. The sixty-four hexagrams and lines are the only ones that Uncle Wang requires that he must memorize them backwards.
, he once said that the "Book of Changes" is the first of all the classics, and all the classics are branches, only the Yi is the rhizome, and by understanding the Yi, all the classics can be understood, so it must be important.
"Well, let's talk about the Book of Changes today." Zhang Jian thought for a while and said. The Book of Changes is difficult to learn by oneself and is ever-changing, so he plans to teach it mainly by dictation.
"The Book of Changes is actually divided into two chapters. One is the chapter of the Book of Changes, which talks about algorithms and divination. Those who do not know the Nine Palaces deeply cannot learn it. The second chapter of the Book of Changes also contains allusions to the practitioners of the Book of Changes.
, the Yi has sixty-four hexagrams and lines, and has its own sixty-four allusions. Each allusion can be viewed from different aspects and come to different understandings, so there are "Jingshi Yi" and "Zheng Xuan Yi"."
"My ancestors of the Zhang family also passed down "The Book of Plum Blossoms", but it is a pity that it is not complete. Even though descendants have continued to complete it for several generations, it cannot fail to complete its work and it has never been able to become a complete classic handed down from generation to generation."
""The Book of Plum Blossoms"?" Zhu Kui immediately thought whether it was related to the plum blossom forest: "Teacher, is it related to the plum blossom forest outside the village?"
"I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. My ancestor was a famous scholar in the late Qin Dynasty and was once the king of Zhao. He accidentally discovered this place. This plum blossom forest hides the way of learning Yi, so he built a villa here to prepare himself for living here in seclusion when he grows old.
Please study slowly."
"It's a pity that our ancestors passed away before the research results could be produced. Later, our great-grandfathers passed down the generations and finally gained something. They summarized the three methods of calculation, divided into four words, five elements, and six gods. But it cannot be like "Jingshi Yi"
It would be a pity to make a complete annotation of the I Ching."
"I will teach you these three techniques from now on. I hope you can complete the entire "Plum Blossom Art Performance" in the future so that it can be passed down for hundreds of generations."
It turns out that it is the miraculous workmanship of nature, and the principles of heaven and earth are often hidden in mountains, rocks, vegetation.
Zhang Er, it seems that the people who could hold the throne in the era of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu were not ordinary people, but they were actually masters of Yi studies.
It's a pity that Zhu Kui is still at the learning level. To perfect Yi Xue, he just thinks in his heart that he can do his best. He is not very interested in academic works. It is impossible to exhaust his energy for this.
"Okay, to learn Yi, first study the classics. As a teacher, I will first tell you my understanding of the meanings and allusions of the classics for reference."
Sure enough, Zhu Kui heard some differences from Uncle Wang's explanation. He picked up the writing brush on the case and wrote it down for review.
Zhu Kui's academic career started in such a lonely way. He first learned the hexagrams, learned some allusions and interpretations of Zhang Jian's hexagrams, and then learned how to add his own opinions or allusions to the hexagrams.
Then, algorithms, spells, formations, and formations made Zhu Kui's learning no longer simple.
