7. Thousand Character Classic

Bai Gui naturally chose to exchange. Reading

He was also worried about learning another set of education from scratch.

However, choosing to study is always the right choice.

With the talent of "diligence can make up for shortcomings", he does not hope for the title of Juren or Jinshi, but it should not be difficult to obtain the title of Xiucai in Xi'an Prefecture.

The literary style in the south is flourishing and the internal circulation is serious, while it is much easier in the north.

Obtaining the title of Xiucai is equivalent to standing out among hundreds of people, and he still has this confidence.

Don't think that the Qing court is about to end and the imperial examination is about to be abolished, but even in the Republic of China, whether or not there is a title is a criterion for distinguishing between superiors and inferiors.

If you have a title, the upper limit may not be high, but the lower limit is definitely not bad.

For example, Lin Shu, a Tongcheng scholar who often opposes the protagonists in "Awakening Age", is a juren who repeatedly failed in the imperial examinations with Huang Kan and others...

Chen Zhongfu, the flag bearer of the new culture, was also a scholar in Anqing Prefecture. He failed the Jiangnan provincial examination the following year...

"By the way, with this bronze mirror, you can also exchange the questions for the county examination, prefecture examination, and academy examination next year from 2014. In this way, how could you fail?"

Bai Gui suddenly thought of this and began to look forward to it.

"But a good ironsmith must be strong himself. If you want to pass the imperial examination, even if you know the topic, you can't solve the eight-part essay, you can't write the format of the test poem, and you don't know what taboo words are. How can you take the test?"

"You must also have good calligraphy in the official style. If your handwriting is too bad, your paper will be rejected! Fail!"

"After the scholar obtains the title, there are banquets and the like. If you reveal your flaws at the banquet, it will be a serious crime of cheating in the imperial examination. Even a talented scholar like Tang Yin will be thrown into the dust and ridiculed..."

He immediately became alert.

Tang Yin's family is rich and he has many friends with powerful people. He was directly imprisoned because of cheating in the imperial examination. He is just the son of a tenant. If people know that he cheated in the imperial examination, he will be executed.

Take a deep breath and continue to read the yellowed book in his hand.

With the talent of diligence, Bai Gui found that he vaguely knew the meaning of some unfamiliar words and phrases, and even read them and knew the pronunciation.

After just a short while, he felt dizzy.

So, he closed the book immediately and didn't dare to read it anymore.

After about a quarter of an hour, the school was gradually filled with people. There were about twenty children, ranging from six or seven years old to eleven or twelve years old, and there were children as old as Bai Gui.

This child was transferred from the private school in the neighboring village. He was gentle and fair-skinned, wearing tortoise-shell glasses on his nose. His name was Zhou Yuan. He had read the four books of "The Analects of Confucius", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Great Learning" and "Mencius". The "Spring and Autumn Annals" among the Five Classics was his classic.

Later, Bai Gui realized that in the private school nearby, Xu Xiucai was the one who specialized in "Spring and Autumn Annals", so if other private school students chose to study "Spring and Autumn Annals", the teacher would recommend them to Bailu Village for Xu Xiucai to teach.

Similarly, if other students chose to study the Five Classics other than "Spring and Autumn Annals", Xu Xiucai would also recommend them to other teachers in the private school in the neighboring village.

"Hello, sir!"

All the children around stood up, bowed to Xu Xiucai as if they were his disciples, and spoke humbly.

Xu Xiucai nodded slightly.

The twenty or so children who stood up sat down, flipping through the books and trying to remember the contents.

Suddenly, a child about ten years old ran to the school door in a hurry, holding a book, with dark skin, sweat dripping from his forehead and temples, and panted, "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Diligence makes you proficient, while laziness makes you waste. Success is achieved through thinking, while carelessness makes you fail!" Xu Xiucai looked at the late child sternly, "You are late even for the morning class, so I'll punish you..."

He looked at the late child and sighed, "I'll punish you by not allowing you to eat for a day. You must know that 'poetry and books are learned through diligence, while the stomach is empty if you are not diligent.'"

The late child swallowed the spit in his face without any embarrassment, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

He said "Thank you for the punishment, Mr.," and sat down beside the two brothers Lu Zhaopeng. When he came here, he saw Bai Gui sitting here, and he was surprised, and then a hint of irony appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He pulled out the bench and sat on it.

"Bai Gui, how did you do this? Zhaohai, must your father be kind enough to let Bai Gui come here to study?"

Lu Zhaoqian whispered.

"Bookboy?"

He remembered a word he often mentioned and asked.

"No, it was Guige who paid the tuition fee himself and came here to study." Lu Zhaohai touched Lu Zhaoqian's elbow and said indignantly: "Guige accepted the books given by my brother, but confiscated the straw paper and ink given by me. It's obvious that he looks down on me!"

When Lu Zhaoqian heard that Bai Gui paid the tuition fee himself and entered the school, his face changed rapidly. He was silent for a while, and then he chuckled for a long time, as if he was mocking, and said: "What can you learn from the life of a horseman!"

"Whatever you can learn is a little."

Bai Gui glanced at Lu Zhaoqian and said lightly.

Because Lu Zhaoqian was sent to the school by Bai Jiaxuan, he always felt inferior to the children of Bai Xiaowen and Bai Xiaowu, the two main families, so he sat next to the two brothers of the Bai family at first, and then moved to the two brothers of the Lu family.

So when he heard that Bai Gui paid the tuition fee himself to come in to study, he was jealous.

Paying the money by himself means that he can stand up straight.

Lu Zhaoqian bit his lip, his eyes showing contempt. He concluded that Bai Gui would have to leave after studying in the school for at most one or two months. First, he had no money to pay the tuition, and second, he knew that he was not destined to be a scholar.

The two were not very familiar with each other, and they were just acquaintances, so they did not want to make trouble and were silent for a while.

In the classroom.

Xu Xiucai began to talk about the "Three Character Classic". After reading the first paragraph, most of the children began to recite with their heads shaking.

Xu Xiucai's words were mixed with some official language and the local dialect of Qin Province, but everyone understood what he meant.

Bai Gui followed the local customs and shook his head.

The only feeling of this action was dizziness, and he didn't know how these children endured it. He estimated that it should be rhythm memory. Xu Xiucai had not learned modern educational knowledge, but the older generation must have passed it down, so there must be a reason for it.

Thinking about the rhythm of education, his thoughts flew abroad. At this time, Hu Shi's teacher Dewey seemed to have put forward the slogan "Education is life, life is society", opposing the educational methods of indoctrination and mechanical training.

By the way, in the second year of Xuantong, that is, two years later, Dr. Hu will go to the United States to study...

When he thought of Dr. Hu, his thoughts drifted to who knows where.

Soon, the child who finished reading the Three Character Classic was asked by Xu Xiucai to recite it silently and memorize the writing of each word. "Thousand Character Classic" is the first enlightenment book taught in Bailu Village School. After learning a thousand characters, it doesn't matter if there are some characters in the Three Character Classic that you don't know very well. You can recite and memorize them slowly. In this way, a scale effect is formed, and literacy will become faster and faster.

The Bai brothers and the Lu brothers learn faster. They have passed the stage of literacy and have reached the stage of reciting scriptures and understanding their meanings.

Perhaps it is related to the fact that both families are large families with strict requirements and their parents can also read, so their progress is ahead of all the children in the school and they are the best.

Xu Xiucai came over and began to explain "The Analects" to the Bai brothers and the Lu brothers for a while, and then turned to Bai Gui. He was still quite concerned about Bai Gui, a latecomer.

It was also because of Bai Gui's respect for him last night that made him spend more time thinking.

"Come, I will teach you the Thousand Characters."

Xu Xiucai walked to Bai Gui's side, leaned down, half leaned against him, pointed at the yellowed pages word by word, and then said: "I will read a paragraph, you recite it."

After reciting for a while, he asked Bai Gui to recite.

What surprised Xu Xiucai was that although Bai Gui had just learned the Thousand Characters, he was still a little stumbling when he recited it two or three times, but by the fourth and fifth times, he could recite it fluently, and almost did not need to read the book to achieve the effect of reciting.

"This boy must be extraordinary!"

If Xu Xiucai taught Bai Gui very seriously because Bai Gui respected his teacher before, but after seeing Bai Gui's talent today, he really wanted to cultivate him.

As for these small talents such as photographic memorization, Xu Xiucai had seen them a lot.

There are many scholars who became famous at a young age and achieved fame and fame, and they have superhuman memory.

PS: It would be more reasonable to have a cheat code, otherwise an ordinary person would still be an ordinary person after traveling through time. In addition, all the big guys, please vote and collect, so that the data can grow, and there will be motivation to write. o(╥﹏╥)o
