Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 3 Students
"Uncle Crazy, this is my son's Shuxiu. You will be my son's teacher from now on. If he doesn't obey you, just hit him..."

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng received his first Shuxiu, a piece of dried meat.

The reason is simple, because Zhang Qingfeng has accepted students.

In ancient times, when recruiting students, students had to be trained. The people in the mountains were poor, and a piece of dried meat was already a very extravagant ceremony for appreciating a teacher.

Since Zhang Qingfeng taught some characters to a group of children at Riverside 2 last time, many parents of the children came to thank them specially, and they said nothing more than that they wanted their children to be able to learn to read and write with Zhang Qingfeng.

In ancient times, knowledge was monopolized by the upper class, and it was almost impossible for ordinary people to obtain knowledge.

Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, 90.00% of the people who could leave their names in history were from the upper class of society, and there were almost no ordinary people at the bottom.

Many people know that as long as they can learn knowledge, the family will prosper sooner or later from generation to generation.

Even if you can't be an official, it's much better to go to the city to do business as a bookkeeper or something than to be a farmer.

No one thought that the crazy uncle who had been with him for several years was actually a scholar.

With the opportunity to acquire knowledge, many parents will naturally not miss it.

Just yesterday, Zhang Qingfeng finally agreed to accept apprentices, so immediately the parents of the children came to send Shuxiu off.

In the past few days, Zhang Qingfeng has received more than a dozen bundles of Shuxiu, including dried meat, wheat and corn, and linen woven by the skillful family.

Zhang Qingfeng did not expect that the common people in this era are so thirsty for knowledge, which touched his heart very much.

This is also the reason why he is willing to accept disciples.

In the Han Dynasty, although there were some private schools of county schools, no matter whether they were county schools or private schools, they were basically monopolized by the children of aristocratic families.

Not to mention the county school, the fees are exorbitantly expensive, and people without a bit of status don't charge at all.

As for private schools, they are basically family schools set up by wealthy families. It is more difficult for ordinary people to go to study than to go to heaven.

It was also after the Tang Dynasty that the official imperial examinations were opened, schools were established, and children from poor families were recruited, then the power monopolized by the aristocratic family was slowly transferred to the hands of the people all over the world.

And even so, this process lasted for hundreds of years. Only after the Song Dynasty did ordinary people have more opportunities to climb to the top of society.

In this era, the desire of ordinary people's families to climb up is unimaginable.

It's like the children born in the [-]s will never be able to imagine the grandparents born in the [-]s and [-]s working hard to learn.

It is even more impossible to imagine the awe and thirst for knowledge of the common people in the Han Dynasty when knowledge was monopolized by the upper class.

………………

From this day on, Zhang Qingfeng has become a teacher.

In order to allow him to teach better, the villagers took advantage of the slack time to build a school for Zhang Qingfeng that can accommodate the children in the village. Although it is only built of wood, mud and thatch, it can also feel the villagers' attitude towards reading and literacy.

There are currently 36 students of Zhang Qingfeng.

Originally, there were only a dozen or so people, and they were all boys under the age of ten.

But Zhang Qingfeng requires that girls and children under the age of 15 can study.

Under Zhang Qingfeng's request, his students suddenly changed from a dozen to more than 30.

"Today, I will teach you Chinese and mathematics..."

Zhang Qingfeng stood on the podium to give a lecture, and all the students below listened very carefully, and there were almost no disobedient children.

Under the constant urging of the children's parents, the children's learning attitudes are very positive. No matter whether they are older children or younger children, they are very serious when studying.

But here, because there is no teaching material and the children are of different ages, Zhang Qingfeng can only teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

After the test of time, the fastest learners are undoubtedly children in their teens. At this time, their brains have matured, and they naturally learn knowledge faster.

It only took more than ten days, and the older children have already learned a lot of words.

Those who learn slowly are undoubtedly five or six-year-old children. They are still young, and Zhang Qingfeng is ready to teach slowly.

What pleased Zhang Qingfeng was that the children studied very hard, studying almost all day long. Even when Zhang Qingfeng was not teaching, many children practiced calligraphy on the sand table with branches.

Among these students, Zhang Qingfeng was most impressed by two girls, one named Li Erya and the other named Liu Sansan.

Zhang Qingfeng felt that this name was not pleasant, so he gave them a new name, Li Erya was called Li Shishi, and Liu Sansan was called Liu Rushi.

Girls' names are okay, but boys' names are like Goucheng, Goudan, Erhan, Danniu, Zhubao and the like.

Zhang Qingfeng felt that the names of these children were too ugly, so he gave all the children new names, and these names were all famous in history.

For example, there are Li Bai, Li Shangyin, Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Wei, Wang Anshi and so on.

Girls include Yang Yuhuan, Wang Baochuan, Chen Yuanyuan, Li Shishi, Li Qingzhao, Liu Rushi and so on.

The reason why Zhang Qingfeng chose these names was mainly because most of the women who could keep their names in history were prostitutes.

After learning that Zhang Qingfeng had given their children a new name, some parents even thanked him in person.

Getting back to the topic, what impressed Zhang Qingfeng the most was Li Shishi and Liu Rushi. They are ten years old this year. According to the customs of this era, they will be able to get married and have children in five or six years.

The reason why I was so impressed with the two of them was that they learned things very quickly. For the intellectual level of the first grade in later generations, these two children finished learning in a month.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Qingfeng taught them the knowledge of the second grade alone.

Perhaps because of the knowledge base, they learned the knowledge of the second grade faster, and finished it in half a month.

In less than a year, the two of them had completed the knowledge of the sixth grade.

Apart from the two boys, Du Fu and Li Bai are the fastest learners among the boys. They are both 14 years old. In less than a year, they have also learned all the knowledge points of Chinese and mathematics in the fifth grade.

After the two, Yang Shen, Li Kui, Wang Wei, Li Qingzhao, etc. were the ones who learned quickly.

In order to reduce his workload, Zhang Qingfeng asked Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Rushi, Li Bai and Du Fu to teach the slow children.

This made his job a lot easier.

…………

Time passed, and a year passed quickly.

After staying in the village for a year, Zhang Qingfeng knew nothing about the outside world.

The villagers in the mountains are basically isolated from the outside world except for occasionally going outside to exchange grain and cloth for some salt and iron utensils.

Since Zhang Qingfeng became a teacher in the village, his treatment is completely different from before. Basically, people from the village help him take care of his two-acre wheat field. Every once in a while, parents of children will send Rice noodle food and so on.

According to the plan, Zhang Qingfeng was going to leave this year to join Cao Cao.

But after this year, he also figured it out.He believes that his own power is always limited.

Instead of this, it is better to train more useful students and go to Cao Cao together at that time.

According to historical development, Cao Cao will annex Yuan Shao's territory in a few years. By then, Yishan will be Cao Cao's territory. At that time, the students he trained will grow up and should be able to play a greater role.

After making a decision, Zhang Qingfeng continued to stay. He didn't pay attention to the external situation any more, and just concentrated on cultivating his students in the mountains.

"Starting today, I want to add a course to everyone, and that is history..."

"What is history? History is to record the trajectory of civilization passed down by our ancestors..."

"We can only learn from history if we know history."

Zhang Qingfeng began to tell students about history. He knew that history is the core of a civilization. A civilization without history has no soul. History can unite the hearts of a nation. History is also the best patriotic education material in the world.

PS: Some people still struggle with me to learn the knowledge of the sixth grade in one year. Is there a lot of knowledge from the first grade to the sixth grade?I'm afraid I don't have as much knowledge as the first grade of junior high school, right?I would like to ask, why in reality there are nine-year-old college students and 14-year-old doctors, but there are no twelve or thirteen-year-old children who have completed sixth grade knowledge in one year. Note that they are twelve-year-old children, not six-year-old children.
