The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Fang Yun asked all the students to stand up and introduce themselves one by one, and remember each child's name and appearance.

After that, Fang Yun began to test literacy. He selected 50 characters from the Thousand Characters. He read one and asked the students to write one. Then he collected the papers for inspection.

Fang Yun quickly finished reading. As expected of the Class A in the elementary school, all 20 students answered correctly.

"Well, it seems that your basic skills are very solid. If I teach you the Hundred Family Names or the Thousand Characters, I will feel that I am humiliating you."

Many students smiled. As students in the Class A, they have their own pride.

"Then what do you want to learn? Tell me."

A bold child said: "Sir, your words of invitation are amazing. Can you teach us how to interpret words of invitation?"

"I want to learn poetry from you. My sister said that if she wants to marry, she will marry a talented person like you. I also want to be a talented person in the future!"

The students spoke enthusiastically, and the class was very lively.

Lu Yingnian outside the classroom frowned and said, "Such a noisy, how can it be a disgrace!"

"I think it's good. This is a primary school, not a student. It's better for children to study happily." A teacher said.

"Although it's different from us, it's not a big deal."

Lu Yingnian was speechless, thinking that literary reputation is too important. Even if these people are familiar with him, they will be unconsciously influenced by Fang Yun's literary reputation and think that whatever Fang Yun does is good.

After a while, Fang Yun signaled the students to calm down and said, "I can teach you to ask for the words of the saints or write poems, but before learning to ask for the words of the saints and write poems, you still have to learn something else. I wrote a "Three Character Classic" myself, and I will teach you in the next few days. Okay, take out paper and pen, I say, you write, everything you write correctly, I will treat you to delicious food during lunch break."

The sound of rustling sounded, and the students laid out the paper one after another, dipped the brush in ink, and looked at Fang Yun with bright eyes and extremely serious.

Fang Yun nodded with satisfaction. These children may not be smarter than those in other classes, but their initiative and self-control are far superior to those of ordinary children.

"When a person is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different. If you don't teach, nature will change. The way of teaching is to be specialized."

Fang Yun recited the first four sentences of "Three Character Classic" at a very slow speed.

After reading, Fang Yun walked around the classroom and found that five of the twenty students wrote all the words correctly.

Fang Yun passed the five people's writing to others, and they copied it, and then Fang Yun began to explain.

"When a person is born, his nature is good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different. The first six words can be understood literally, that is, people are good when they are just born. The last six words mean that due to different growth processes and different learning environments, temperaments will also have differences in good and bad."

"If you don't teach..." Fang Yun continued to explain "Three Character Classic" carefully.

Most of the teachers outside the door have taught for many years, and they were all very surprised. I didn't expect Fang Yun to not only write poems and ask for sage advice, but also have a far better understanding of life and education than anyone else.

"These words are concise and rhymed, and you can understand them after explaining them once. They are indeed suitable for enlightenment. Why haven't I heard of them?"

"Didn't he just say that he wrote them himself?"

"How old is he? How could he write something so profound? I can't write it even if I live another ten years."

"So he is the first Tongsheng in the Ten Kingdoms, and you are not."

Lu Yingnian felt very uncomfortable. He was a scholar himself, and he knew that "Three Character Classic" was very good. Even if it was not Mingzhou, it was at the level of Dafu. Lu Yingnian thought for a while and left quietly.

Not long after, Lu Yingnian came to the Fang family mansion and met the second wife.

"Aunt, I have important news about Fang Yun."

"What news?"

"He compiled a book called "Three Character Classic" to teach children. Based on my many years of experience, this "Three Character Classic" is very good. I suspect that in a few days, the clan school will add "Three Character Classic" to the elementary school and let every teacher teach it."

"Really? This Fang Yun is really good at making trouble."

"Aunt, I think it's better to forget it. Fang Yun is very smart and famous. It's not worth offending him. It's better to think of other ways to compete with the eldest house."

"Do you think I'm doing this for myself? The old man is alive now and supports your uncle. I can still compete with the eldest house. When the old man dies, the eldest house will immediately kick our family out. If I don't fight now, I will have no chance in the future. Fang Jingtang is old and will leave the clan school soon. You must become the dean and keep the clan school firmly in your hands."

"But my qualifications are not as good as those of the predecessors. How can you compete with Fang Yun? "

"Silly child, how can you not compete with Fang Yun? He said that he wrote the "Three Character Classic" himself, so it is his? The court only recognizes the first person to go to the Academy of Literature to issue a document. You are not from a famous family, so you don't know what's going on. There are many cases where people from prominent families snatched other people's poems and essays and reported to the Academy of Literature in advance, and then they were sent away after giving some silver. "

"Ah? Didn't the Academy of Literature say that it would strictly investigate such forgeries? It said that if it was found, the position of the writer would be directly revoked and the imperial examination would not be allowed for life. "

"Who dares to do such a thing, it doesn't matter whose family is in the Academy of Literature? Your uncle has a very good relationship with Qiu Xuezhen of the Academy of Literature. I will take you to him and ask him to help you issue a publication document. In the future, the "Three Character Classic" will be yours. With the literary reputation of the "Three Character Classic", I will push you to be the dean. "

"But Fang Yun is a double-class saint. No matter how stupid Qiu Xuezhen is, he can't do this. If Fang Yun petitions the Saint Academy for a holy judgment, I'm done. "

"Of course you can't tell Qiu Xuezheng that it was written by Fang Yun. You can tell him the truth when the publication documents come out. Then give him a sum of money, and he can only help us. Even if Fang Yun goes to the liberal arts college to make trouble, Qiu Xuezheng can still find a way Suppress such a trivial matter, you won't ask for a holy judgment for him Opportunity. Fang Yun is just a member of a poor family. If it weren't for the help of the Fang family, he would have been tied up with stones and thrown into the Yangtze River by Liu Zicheng. Even if he had a literary name, who would be willing to offend the students from the seventh grade for him at the critical moment. Correct? Fang Yun just came to Fucheng. How many officials do he know?"

"However, several teachers and some students of ethnology know that Fang Yun wrote it himself."

"When the time comes for me to speak for you, I don't believe they dare to overthrow them!"

"But, what if Fang Yun becomes a high official in the future?"

"I heard a few days ago that the Liu family has prepared athletes for the opponent. Even Liu Zizhi in the capital knew about it. The relationship between Liu Zizhi and the left prime minister is extraordinary. It is said that the left prime minister tried his best to cultivate Liu Zizhi. Liu Zizhi was vaguely regarded as the "Liu Party member" "The successor."

When Lu Yingnian heard this, he said happily: "So that's it. That Fang Yun is dead. I thought you were confused, aunt."

"No one from a famous family is confused. Even if Fang Yun succeeds in taking back the "Three Character Classic" in the end, so what? His surname is Fang, and the eldest brother goes to find him personally and treats him like a son. Will he expose the scandal of the Fang family? If he insists on taking revenge on me, I will kneel down in front of my elder brother and sister-in-law. They are kind-hearted and will never make things difficult for me. I won’t hurt you even a hair."

"No wonder, it turns out that you have already expected the defeat. Auntie, you are really a hero among women. If you were a man, the position of left prime minister would definitely be yours."

Lu Yingnian flattered him greatly.

"Brat!"

When the gong sounded for the end of get out of class, Fang Yun ended the whole class and said: "Just tell me what you want to eat, which I just wrote on the Three Character Classic, and I will buy it for you during lunch break."

A student who wrote correctly stood up and said, "Sir, could you please change the food to "Spring Dawn" written by you? My father likes this poem the most, and he talks about it so much that my ears get calluses."

"That's okay." Fang Yun nodded in agreement.

"I want poetry too!"

"I want it too!"

The five students who wrote correctly all chose the poem about Fang Lun.

Fang Yun said with a smile: "Don't regret it. If Song Qiming answers correctly, he will definitely choose to eat."

Song Qiming protested: "Am I that stupid? If I'm right, of course I want Mr.'s poem!"

The students burst into laughter.

Two people chose "Spring Dawn", two people chose "Twilight", and one person chose "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

Fang Yun carefully wrote in Liu script.

A student whispered: "Who said your calligraphy is ugly? It's obviously no worse than other teachers."

"Maybe someone is giving you a hard time, sir."

"Well, it's possible."

"The examiner is the county magistrate Cai He, right?"

"That doesn't sound like a good person."

"right!"

All the students nodded their heads, Fang Yun smiled secretly in his heart and did not defend Cai He.

After class, Fang Yun returned to the teaching room. Several teachers came over and wanted to copy the full text of the "Three Character Classic" and said they would teach it to students in other classes.

Fang Yun asked them to copy, while he took out a copy of Shangshu and read it silently. After all, today was the first time for him to come to the clan school. He couldn't leave immediately after class, at least he would have to wait until noon.

After lunch break, Fang Yun said goodbye to all the teachers and drove his carriage home. On the way, he bought three sets of the complete works of All Saints and included them in Qishu Tiandi.

Fang Yun got off the carriage, opened the door, and saw a white light rushing over quickly, and the little fox Nunu jumped lightly into his arms.

"嘤嘤..." Nunu happily cried in Fang Yun's arms, like a naughty puppy.

Fang Yun touched Nunu's head, smiled and said a few words, then carried her into the house to eat.

Students and teachers responded well to the "Three Character Classic". After dinner, Fang Yun took the "Three Character Classic" to Secretary Zhou to prepare for filing and publishing a book. More importantly, he wanted to invite someone with a high enough status to give the "Three Character Classic" annotation.

Just as he walked out of the door, Fang Yun returned with Fang Daniu, put the "Three Character Classic" he wrote on the table, and said: "Daniu, copy this "Three Character Classic" once."

"It's not like you don't know that my handwriting is ugly." Fang Daniu asked in surprise.

"You don't need to look good, just one stroke at a time." Fang Yun said.

Fang Daniu looked at Fang Yun's manuscript, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Yes! Your manuscript is now being scrambled by officials. It will be more valuable in the future. You must not take advantage of others! I will copy it!"

Fang Daniu sat down and copied the "Three Character Classic" stroke by stroke.

After Fang Daniu finished copying, Fang Yun said: "Master Zhou will definitely be unhappy without my manuscript, so I won't go. You can send it to me. I will give him another brief letter, and I say, you write it." "

"good."

Fang Yun said slowly: "Jun Qi, Mr. Zhou. The students recently studied teaching in the Fang clan and felt deeply that there was a lack of elementary school reading materials, so they compiled a rhymed and easy-to-understand "Three Character Classic" to let students know benevolence and righteousness, understand etiquette, and understand History. The original text has been forwarded to my cousin, and I hope to find a person of high moral character to annotate it so that students can bathe in the holy way."
