Be a master through ancient times

"Exactly." Chu Ci said, "It is said that a strong country must strengthen the people, a strong people must strengthen the body, and a strong body must be practiced. If they sit there all day long, it will be bad for their health. You know, the children in the county school, Generally, they enter school at Chenshi and can only rest at Youshi, with an interval of about five hours. How can they be allowed to sit in the classroom for such a long time? Therefore, the official set a time of two quarters of an hour at Sishi and Shenshi, and let them come out Activities and activities, this period is called the big break."

After listening to Chu Ci's explanation, some people bowed their heads in thought, while some still couldn't understand.

"But, isn't the purpose of entering the school to study? If their parents know that these masters go to class like this, can they send them here with confidence?" An old man suddenly asked, he is one of the Tixue subordinates of Changning Mansion. To patrol the road, do things the most rules.

Chu Ci looked at the old man and said, "Don't worry about Daoist Zhang. Their parents have already known about this matter. Before entering school, the teachers here will show them the curriculum and explain in detail what they don't understand. If it is unacceptable, I have to find other academies."

"School schedule?" It's another word I haven't heard before. These adults in Beppu can't help but look at each other. They always feel like they are country people who have just entered the city. Everything is like that to them. Fresh.

"Go and take a look at that classroom." Chu Ci patted the attendant beside him, and soon, that person entered the nearest classroom and took out the curriculum.

The grown-ups gathered together to look at it, only to see that there were some grids drawn on it. There were five columns from right to left, and these five columns were divided into upper and lower columns.On the top of the first column are written Chinese, Nine Chapters and Yuefu, and on the bottom are moral education and Danqing.There are also calligraphy, archery and etiquette in the other few verticals, which can be said to be a wide variety.

"Chu Tixue, I don't know if I should say something or not?" After reading it, Tixue from Siyang Mansion asked with a look of embarrassment.

"Master Zhou, but it's okay to say." Chu Ci said, this Lord Zhou looks like a kind old man, and he has a good impression on him.

"Is the arrangement on this schedule too harsh for them?"

"This...Why did Mr. Zhou say that?" Chu Ci was a little puzzled, and he glanced at the schedule again. Five classes a day is very reasonable, so why is it harsh?

"It's true that scholars must learn the six arts of a gentleman, but these children have just started their enlightenment, and they have to learn these things. Isn't it a little bit of a spoiled child?" In their opinion, these children only need to memorize Sanbaiqian and a few other books. That's it.

Chu Ci suddenly realized what he meant by being harsh.He was not in a hurry to explain, but asked people to move a lot of stools, and said, "My lords, the class break is coming to an end, why don't we listen to one class first, and then talk about other things?"

These adults had no choice but to sit at the back of a classroom and listen to the class first as Chu Ci said.

The Enlightenment Class of the county school is considered an experimental class. These children have long been used to someone sitting behind them when they are in class. Seeing this group of people coming in, they all sat quietly in their seats. Whispered.The masters in class are also used to it. After all, the flowers in their class are all dialed directly from the school, so it doesn't matter if they are looked at a few times.

Today is the class schedule for Wednesday, and this class happens to be a painting class.After the teacher called for class, the children immediately stood up and bowed to say hello. The voice and movement of the students in unison stunned the adults sitting behind.

After they sat down, the Master began to lecture.Originally, in their imagination, Danqing should be a very delicate thing, requiring extremely keen observation and detailed tracing to draw it.But the learning in this class has subverted their cognition, how can Danqing learn like this?

I saw that each of these children took out a handkerchief wrapped with leaves. These leaves have different shapes and types.

Is it to draw leaves?

No, I saw them picking out a few leaves and carefully drawing them on the paper, as if they wanted to make some shape.Everyone thought again, are you going to copy it?

No, I saw that after the little fat man in the last row arranged the shape, he took the leaf in his hand and carefully painted ink on it with a brush.After smearing them evenly, they were printed on the paper. After a while, there were a few black spots on the paper.

At this time, someone sneered, which was particularly harsh in the quiet classroom. A few curious children couldn't help but look back. Those sitting in the back had never been so impolite before.

Chu Ci looked worried, and looked in the direction of that person, and found that it turned out to be a sub-road patrol of Fuzhou Prefecture.This person looked quite young, and there was a look of contempt on his originally gentle face, which made it difficult for people to have a good impression of him.

Chu Ci lowered his voice and asked, "What is the meaning of Daoist He?"

The man also lowered his voice a bit: "Chu Tixue forgive me, but I have never seen such a way of painting before, so I didn't have time to restrain myself and lost my composure."

Chu Ci's eyes turned cold, and the man made an apology, but his expression and attitude were all written with the word sarcasm.

Others thought in their hearts: This is really a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. No one knows that Chu Tixue is from Du Tixue's school. He even wrote the governor's dismount. How will Chu Ci respond?

Chu Ci knew that everyone was watching silently, so he didn't bother to waste words with this person, he just left his seat and walked behind the little fat man, said a few words softly, and the little fat man held the painting towards the man come over.

This Daoist He smiled slightly, looking at the little fat man with big eyes in front of him.

"Tell this master, what are you painting?"

The little fat man said crisply: "Look, master, what I drew is a caterpillar."

Everyone looked at the painting he had spread out, and saw a few oval-shaped leaves connected on the paper in order from small to large, one section at a time, and the shape looked a bit like the caterpillar he said.

Taoist He twitched the corners of his mouth and pulled out a blunt smile: "How could this be a caterpillar?"

The little fat man looked at him in puzzlement, his eyes said: This is clearly true.Suddenly, he looked at his painting, first sighed angrily, then returned to his seat with the painting, picked up the brush and added a few strokes quickly.

"I haven't finished the painting just now. Is this a caterpillar?" There are a few more legs under the painted oval leaf, two antennae seem to be added to the oval on the head, and two small black dots appear on the leaf print. The eyes, just barely resembled each other just now, but now they are very similar.

Daoist He was tongue-tied, he wanted to criticize the painting in front of him as useless, but this painting was made by a childish child, and it also showed some unexpected ingenuity.

When he was embarrassed, Chu Ci patted the little fat man on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You draw very well, go back."

The little fat man was praised by Chu Ci, and returned to his seat triumphantly.At this time, the master on the stage asked them to go up and introduce their paintings.These children raised their hands on the stage one after another and showed everyone a series of paintings such as butterflies, chickens, and big trees.Although these paintings made of leaves are not ingenious, the aura that emerges from them makes everyone silent. If they are asked to use these leaves to paint, they will never think of it.

After listening to this class, as soon as they left the classroom, Zhou Tixue spoke.

"At first, I thought that Chu Ti was impatient to learn from you. After listening to this class, the old man realized that I wrongly blamed you. Presumably other classes should be similar to this class, right?"

Chu Ci nodded: "The children are still too young. These lessons are not so much for them to learn, but rather for them to play. Learn to think while playing, entertaining while teaching, killing two birds with one stone."

Entertaining?

These grown-ups are also engaged in education. When they first heard this word, they couldn't help but have some doubts.But the more you think about it, the more it makes sense.How many children at this age can settle down to study?Even in their family, there are many children who are so stubborn that they can't read books. If they can learn while playing, maybe it will be really effective.

"It's just some weird tricks. If they only want to play, what good is it for their studies?" Daoist He muttered, but he was standing behind Chu Ci, and Chu Ci couldn't help but hear his words again. up.

Fuzhou Fuzhou Tixue hurriedly gave him winks, but Taoist He felt that he had just lost face with the caterpillar, and now he didn't even want to plead guilty.

"I don't agree with Taoist He's words. Since you are a county inspector, how much do you know about the academic level of Mengtong in the county?"

"I know it well."

"May I ask what they have learned now?"

"After learning the Three Character Classic for more than half, the children in the county school have already memorized what they have learned." Unit He is a little proud. He thinks he knows the students in this county very well, and he went to check it out a few days ago.

"Really?" Chu Ci said indifferently, "We are learning about the same here, why don't you ask Taoist He to help you take the first and second exams, and see if they just want to play."
