Section 109: A Visit to Fangcao (1)

 As soon as you enter the school gate, you will see a stone pedestal half a person tall, with two statues as tall as a person standing on it. Most of the people in the visiting group are very knowledgeable, but no one can tell what is enshrined on this stone pedestal.

Which god and Buddha? All that can be seen are the stone statues of two young people, one male and one female. The clothes of the male and female are exactly the uniforms worn by the students in Fangcaodi - they are called "uniforms". Both of them are in uniform.

The male statue steps forward with his chest raised and his head held high. The male statue points forward with one hand and the female statue holds a scroll.

Wang Ci looked and looked, and found that he and other scholars in Lingao had only seen a few temples in this county. He was from the mainland after all, so he had seen a lot. He had visited at least one or two hundred temples and temples.

He has never seen such a statue before - not to mention what the meaning of this statue is, he can't understand it, but the statue is very different from the ones he has seen in ordinary times. Whether it is the clothes on the body or the facial lines of the characters, the two stone statues are very different.

He was very tough, but his appearance and expression were very vivid. Wang Ci was amazed when he saw it.

While he was watching intently, someone suddenly pulled down his sleeve quietly. Wang Ci was startled and found that it was Huang Henkun.

"I wonder what kind of gods and demons this man and woman are from the Kun thief?" Huang Hankun whispered, "Since they claim to be Miao descendants of the Song Dynasty, how can they offer sacrifices to these non-monks, evil demons and heretics?"

Wang Ci shook his head and said: "This is not a true sacrifice!"

However, there are no sacrificial utensils under the statue: there is no offering table, and there is no incense burner. The students on the school did not look "awe-inspiring" when they walked by. They could not see anything sacred about this statue, and they were invited to visit.

Elder Dong just walked over - you know that when the elders visited the county school, Wang Ci wanted to tell the lives of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius.

I had doubts in my heart, but I couldn't ask questions, so as not to show my timidity. Most of the people in the visiting group walked inside with suspicion. Liu Dalin, on the other hand, mentioned to Dong Yizhi what kind of gods these two statues were.

"This is not a god or a Buddha—" Elder Dong said.

"That must be some of Australia's sages?"

"No," Dong Yizhi thought to himself. These two statues are nothing. They are just sculptures created or "plagiarized" by a veteran who studied art. They were probably based on the statues of male and female Young Pioneers in front of a certain Children's Palace, and added

It comes from "this time and space".

"This is not a sage. It represents the image of our young students who were active in Australia during the Song Dynasty." Dong Yi explained directly, "It can also be said to be the image of our students in Fangcaodi."

Although the members of the visiting group didn't quite understand the specific meaning of the words, they probably knew that this was what Australians ideally expected young students to look like. Wang Ci looked at the two statues, both men and women were tall and strong. Especially

It was the bulging muscles on the man's arms with rolled-up sleeves and the girl's strong calves and a pair of huge feet exposed under the skirt. I couldn't help but secretly curse: "The thieves are really a bunch of roughnecks!"

There is no elegance or elegance to a person like this. He is just like a farmer. The look on his face and the way he behaves reveal a domineering spirit of a thieves -

―Just like a brave warrior, he is actually a role model for young students in the eyes of Kun thief. This Kun thief's knowledge is really ridiculous! No wonder the Jin gentry secretly talked about Kun thief as "no distinction between high and low" and "vulgar and shabby".

Everyone had their own ideas, but they didn't show it on the surface. They just humbly said "please please" to each other and followed the two elders Dong and Tang as they walked into the school.

Walking along the cinder road to the school, there are street trees planted on both sides of the road. Over the past few years, although they are not tall yet, they have become lush and lush. During this period, they are mixed with various flowers and trees, competing for their beauty in the spring sunshine.

There were several stones and benches dotted along the way, which were simply and elegantly arranged with great ingenuity. It was quite refreshing during the walk. The "vulgar" discomfort just now dissipated a lot. This group of people all agreed.

Thought to himself: "This Australian/kun thief knows how to enjoy himself!"

At the end of the corridor, there is a large playground with a 400-meter circular track. It is the time for the daily morning exercises in Fangcaodi to end and close the team. After completing the last few movements of the team exercises, each class gathers its formation.

The whole team returns to work.

Students wearing uniforms marched neatly towards the teaching building in a neat formation. Although there were dozens of teams marching at the same time, the playground seemed chaotic and the formations shuttled back and forth, but the complex queues were there.

Under the leadership of the monitors, they marched in an orderly manner. After a while, everyone had evacuated the venue and returned to their respective classrooms.

"Australians are as good at studying as they are at military affairs." Liu Dalin half complimented and half sighed. The rest of the people were silent - this had a huge impact on them: Are they still students? They are first-class strong soldiers!

Not many armies of the Ming Dynasty could do this just because the formation could be retracted and deployed freely, and the students obeyed orders and acted as if they were one person.

They had all seen the Fubo Army's review and drills, and felt deeply that the Australians not only had "sophisticated equipment" but also had a better way of running an army. They did not expect that in this school, it would be like running an army. If these students were a few years older, they would be pulled out.

Turn it into a battalion and become a strong army in an instant!

"The thief has ulterior motives!" Huang Hankun thought to himself. Looking at the faces of the people around him, they all had different expressions. Some had solemn faces, some were expressionless, and some were happy. He couldn't help but sigh secretly.

:Half of the people’s hearts in Lingao County have been bewitched by the Kun thief!

Dong Yizhi saw that Moli Xuan and the others were stunned, and coughed, "Gentlemen, the daily exercises are over. Please follow me to the lounge for a short rest, and then come and listen to our class." He said.

Then he made another inviting gesture.

Tea had already been prepared in the lounge, and the group sat down to take a rest. Dong Yizhi first gave a brief introduction, including the general setup of Fangcaodi College, its academic system, and the number of students on campus.

After several years of development, Fangcaodi School has expanded into a comprehensive school with seven major education departments: junior primary school, upper primary school, middle school, normal school, learning college, professional training department and literacy department. According to Fangcaodi’s

The schooling system consists of two years of junior primary school, two years of senior primary school, and 2+3 for middle school credits and higher grades. The four stages are flexibly matched and you can obtain diplomas respectively. It will take nine years to complete them all. This is roughly the future veteran

The basic academic system of the nine-year school to be implemented by the college.

Except for the current high school department, which is not yet officially in operation, all other departments are operating effectively. There are more than 6,000 students in the school.

According to the standards of the old time and space, a middle school with 6,000 students is an ordinary complete middle school, and cannot be compared with some giant monster-like counties. But in this time and space, as soon as this number was reported, the entire visiting group was stunned

A shock.

Schools in this time and space, whether they are government-run or private, except for the highest institutions of higher education such as the Imperial College, can only enroll no more than two or three hundred students at most.

I suddenly heard that there were 6,000 people in this school. It was a shock to the natives of this time and space who are not accustomed to the numbers of the industrial age. You must know

"There are actually 6,000 people?" Liu Dalin asked in disbelief. He had long heard that Australians were educated and undisciplined, and thought it was somewhat exaggerated, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Indeed." Dong Yi nodded and said, "But this is far from meeting the needs of education. Currently, there are still two to three thousand children who should enter school without a degree, so we are planning to open another school in other places to meet the needs.

."

"Mr. Dong, what is the use of the Senate admitting so many children to school?" A gentleman asked, "Students heard that most of these children are provided with food and clothing by the Senate, and the tuition fees are free of charge. But among the students

It seems that in the past few years, most of the students coming out of Fangcaodi are craftsmen. Since they are craftsmen, why do they need to send them to school? Isn’t it unnecessary for the Senate to do this? "

"Popular education is our basic policy." Dong Yizhi said, "Educated workers can play a greater role." He knew that it was difficult for the gentry to understand this issue, so he did not say more. It happened at this time.

The class bell rang, and he stood up and asked them to go to the classroom to listen to the class.

According to the requirements put forward by the visiting group and the instructions of the school, the programs arranged by the school are rich and colorful. However, when you come to the school for an in-depth visit, listening to the lectures is an indispensable part. Therefore, it is also the first course of the day.

Liu Dalin, Wang Ci and his entourage were introduced to a junior class and were arranged to sit at the back of Dong Yizhi's class, listening to his lectures with dozens of other students. Huang Henkun finally had the opportunity to sit in an Australian university hall

, listened to the lectures of real Australians.

This teaching building did not arouse too many strange feelings among the visiting group - similar style buildings are already seen in Lingao. As for the large glass windows in the classroom, they are less shocking - the glass windows are also in Lingao.

.However, the classroom with densely packed desks and chairs still left a deep impression on them: the blackboards at the front and back, the big red slogan above the blackboard, the blackboard newspaper with pictures and text on the back blackboard, and the brightly colored posters on the white walls on both sides.

The posters all reflect an atmosphere that is completely different from the traditional dark and quiet study-style schools. There seems to be a more intense and vigorous atmosphere in the classroom.

Sitting in the classroom, he could hear the sound of reading in unison from other classrooms - Wang Ci couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard that it was not traditional enlightenment readings such as Disciples' Rules, Thousand-Character Classic, and Hundred Family Surnames.

There will also be strange pronunciations such as "ah", "oh", "goose", and "yi". Wang Ci is a person who has read poetry and books, and he quickly thought that this was probably an Australian teaching a certain topic.

An Australian study of "phonology". (To be continued...)
