Dress to be a celebrity

Mr. Chang was still a little nervous after he got on the high stage. He couldn't remember how to organize the lectures, so he simply followed Huan Ling's explanation just now and talked about "University" Chapter 2:

"Kang Gao" said: "Ke Mingde." "Tai Jia" said: "Gu is the bright destiny of heaven."

This section is Zeng Zi citing the words in "Shangshu", "Zhoushu·Kanggao", "Shangshu·Taijia" and "Yaodian" to explain "Mingmingde "meaning.

He is different from Huan Ling's teaching style of reviewing before the exam. When he speaks, he puts more emphasis on explaining his own thoughts. After explaining the sources of the three books quoted in this chapter and briefly explaining the meaning of the text in this chapter, he turns to reminding students how to cultivate themselves , Reasonable, focused and diligent in learning, in order to show their excellent character.

When he was a teaching assistant for Huan Ling in the Song Dynasty, he dug deep from the classics to the Neo Confucianism like digging a well, and finally dug out the sweet spring of knowledge.As for Teacher Chang, it is like flying a kite: first let him fly easily to the amazing high sky that everyone can see; The purpose of this lecture is to review before the exam.

Although it is the first time for him to cooperate with Mr. Chang, after all, he has rich work experience and solid studies. He quickly figured out his teaching methods, which should be extended and tightened. The effect is completely unnatural. It's the first time to cooperate.

The two teachers have different teaching habits and different content emphases, but because Song Shi is in the middle of asking questions, guiding, shifting the subject, and grasping the rhythm of the lecture... From the beginning to the end, it does not seem like two unrelated teachers. Lectures, but there is a subtle sense of coordination.

The teaching assistants in the audience carefully observed how he asked questions, imitating in their hearts how they would explain when they came on stage; while several old gentlemen who planned to give lectures in this way carefully recalled the lectures, and even thought about bringing a copy of the lecture when they officially went on stage. Go up, so as not to be like this brother Chang, who can forget the homework he was going to give after he got on the stage.

After Song Shi left the stage, another teacher asked him to accompany him to give a lecture. This time Huan Ling refused, saying: "Although this kind of lecture is fresh, it is not as good as us teachers who speak to each other. You can see that the students below are Do you understand? Seniors, why don’t you all go up and try to see which teaching method is more suitable for you—even if you want to use teaching assistants, you can use him alone and use Xu, and you have to give more students the opportunity to give lectures on stage .”

Several teachers who hadn't come to the stage asked him to persuade him, but Mr. Huang saw the true meaning he was concealing, and laughed at him loudly: "You can find so many excuses, isn't it because you are afraid that your junior brother will talk too much, Tired of him?"

That's right, my senior brother is still thinking of him!

If there weren't too many people, he would have to peel a lychee for the little brother to eat!

Song Shi was so moved that he gave him a sneaky wink, Huan Ling's heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head slightly, and replied after a while: "Junior Brother Song still needs to engrave the handouts, and he is the only one who engraves the new seal method. After it is done, it needs to be dried until the ink is dry before it can be used. We still have to give him some time, so as not to be late in the lecture notes and delay the gentlemen giving lectures on stage tomorrow."

When it comes to engraving, all the old gentlemen thought that when they first came to Wuping, Mr. Huang brought the engraving tools of the Song style printing method they saw, and they stopped laughing at him immediately, and urged: "Tell Song Ziqi to go back early, and take advantage of the good weather. The engraved block, his paper block is a piece of white, it should hurt your eyes when you look at it at night."

Although Song's printing method is faster than ordinary printing methods, it takes time to engrave the block and dry it in the sun. When engraving, you have to stare at the almost indistinguishable white paper. If you print it at night, it is easy to hurt your eyes.

Although these elders feel that this method of printing has many benefits, it is a pity that the artisans are stopped as soon as they learn hard-tipped characters, and they have to be printed by the scholars themselves.Moreover, it takes too much time to practice pen calligraphy before printing, and it has to be engraved on translucent stencil paper when engraving the block. The ink used for printing cannot be ordinary ink, it must be ink prepared by adding oil, wax, or soap. ...

It's better to find a few friends to collect some money and print it in the printing press, so that you don't have to worry about the whole process.

Of course, it's just troublesome to engrave. If they don't have to do it themselves, this Song edition printing method is better than ordinary bookstores——

First of all, the printing is extremely fast. It does not take a cup of tea to engrave a plate, and it can be used by hand with a roller.And just be careful not to rub it when it is not dry at first, and you will not be afraid of getting wet when it is dry.Furthermore, the calligraphy of the Song Dynasty has been practiced for many years after all. Practicing soft calligraphy can also improve the grasp of the layout and structure of hard calligraphy. The printed ones can be regarded as calligraphy, not as rigid as those printed by craftsmen, and they look more attractive.

They didn't want Song Shi anymore at this time, and they wanted to send him back.Huan Ling took the initiative to say: "I can also engrave a few words, and I will go back to help him. I printed it out earlier to dry it out, and I still need someone to bind it."

He also went back to Wuping County smoothly, followed Song Shi to the study, opened the mimeograph machine, and took a piece of wax paper to engrave for him.

In the past year, he has been a senior not only as a teacher, but also learned a lot from him. The first thing is this hard pen handwriting.His handwriting is all practiced according to the copybooks written in the Song Dynasty, and he has practiced seriously. Now the imitation books are seven to eighty percent. It is not difficult to take them and carve a few for the younger brother.

Song Shi washed his hands, and first went to pick up a basket of well-watered lychees, peeled them clean, white and tender, and took a small plate to the table.But the little senior brother was busy copying, so he couldn't care less about eating, and couldn't touch the wet fruit, so he simply served him more attentively, pinched a lychee and handed it to the senior brother's lips, saying: "Ah——"

Huan Ling was busy copying, but he didn't notice his hand stretched out, subconsciously let out an "ah", and stuffed a cold, juicy lychee into his mouth.

Huan Ling subconsciously closed his lips and teeth. Apart from the soft and quivering lychees, there seemed to be something slightly harder passing by his lips.He carefully identified the tactile sensation, but he seemed to fully understand what it was, so he didn't dare to think about it.

But the person who fed him the lychees didn't think so much, he didn't even wipe his fingers, he brought another small plate to him, and said casually: "Spit out the core here."

He held the lychee in his mouth, reluctant to chew it, and looked up at Song Shi.

His junior brother smiled and raised his hand towards him, and said, "Senior brother, don't be shy, vomit as you please, you copy the handouts for me, and I should serve you."

He took the plate, slowly ate the lychees in his mouth, spit the cores into the plate, and said with a smile: "You eat first, I will take it by myself when I am free. I will wait for your arrangements for tomorrow's meeting, don't worry." Serve me here."

Otherwise, I... I'm afraid I'm getting used to these benefits, and I'm going to make an inch of it.

=================

The next day was the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the organizing committee still took people to watch the opening ceremony of the dragon boat race.

There are no big rivers in Wuping County. This kind of dragon boat race is already quite good, and people from this province will not deliberately criticize, but for the few scholars who came to Suzhou to learn Buddhist scriptures, this mountain stream is not as wide as the river in Suzhou. , the dragon boat is not a serious dragon boat.

But when they held the conference, it was the Double Ninth Festival, and they couldn't even hold such a dragon boat race.

While being picky, the talented scholars secretly memorized everything they saw in front of them. When preparing for the Double Ninth Festival, they also added a lively competition as the opening ceremony.

They can do a better job at this opening ceremony. Going out in the background, watching the scenery of the farmhouses, picnicking under the fruit trees, etc. are not as good as their Suzhou food and beauty, and the Song edition handouts in their hands are not exquisite enough. Lace handouts...

But when it came to the lecture session, the first lecturer Huan Ling and his teaching assistant Song Shi immediately broke their pride when they came to the stage.

What they hold is a lecture conference. The conference in Fujian is not as good as theirs in Suzhou, but the lectures are better than theirs, so they will completely overwhelm them!

Yesterday they heard that the teacher had also come out to see it when he was giving lectures in the forum outside, and they also met some teachers who used this method of teaching to teach.

At that time, they saw the novel arrangement of the forum, but when they started the lecture, it was the same as watching the teacher lecture the students in class, which made people lose interest.But I don’t want to have a huge lecture shelf like a screen on the podium today, as if the podium has been changed, and after the lecturer and teaching assistant have changed, the scene of the lecture on the podium is also several times better than yesterday——

It's like a figure made of clay and wood, suddenly replaced by a lively beauty.

The teaching assistant on the stage seems to only listen to the lecture and ask questions, but in fact he is in control of the whole lecture; the teacher does not blindly impart what he knows, but interacts with his teaching assistant at any time and adjusts according to his questions. The content of your own lectures.

All the talented scholars have already understood the Four Books to the point of proficiency, so they are more aware that what is mentioned in this lecture is something that students tend to ignore when they are studying, or it is really difficult to understand, so they have to be vague.

The lecturers spoke well, and the teaching assistants asked just the right questions. No one else could speak at this level.

They have sent a message these days to visit Song Shi, but they have not heard back. It seems that it is not necessarily that he is afraid to meet real talents like them, but that he is busy designing new lectures, and An Xin wants to overwhelm the Suzhou people from the conference again... …

Can they still imitate his speech?

But if you don't imitate, can you think of a better way to say it?

After this lecture, several knowledgeable talents fell into deep thought, but Liu Chang, the youngest, was carefree and commented on the podium: "I thought he was ashamed of himself after meeting Brother Xu, no Dare to meet us Suzhou literati, from the looks of it, he is really busy with lectures and has no time to separate himself."

Xu Yu couldn't help smiling wryly: "I made him speechless that day. Why was he afraid of seeing me? I guessed that he was famous because of his self-confidence in giving lectures, and he became defiant. It seems that he is not."

But after all, they are well-known talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are not scholars from some small county in the countryside. Why can't we spare a night to invite them to meet and talk about poetry and prose?

No matter what these people think, they still feel aggrieved. Zhu Hao, the leader, comforted everyone and proposed a good idea: "Just now I heard them say that these old gentlemen have other people as teaching assistants when they give lectures on stage, so there is no need to sing." Go up every game. When he comes down, we will go up and visit."

They did not avoid people when they spoke, and some local talented people around heard that they were from Suzhou. They were very envious and proud that this conference could attract Suzhou talented people to listen.There were also those who knew a lot about the inside story, and taunted them in a low voice: "Suzhou people held a lecture conference last year imitating ours in Fujian, and Zhang Gong, Cai Gong, and Tao Gong who were listened to by them... all wrote articles when they came back, saying that they were just" Building a house under the house, trying to learn everything', not grand enough! Looking back, I think they are here to steal the new method of lectures from our conference, and use them back in Suzhou..."

One "imitation" and one "stealing" accurately poked the self-esteem of Suzhou talents.

They have always been the most fashionable in Suzhou, and the articles of talented scholars have been circulated and imitated all over the world. Now not only are people saying that they are imitating the Fujianese in giving lectures, but they are also said to be stealing other people's ideas——

The wits were so angry that their eyes were blurred, and they were about to fight against the group of Fujianese.Just as he was angry, a calm and gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Isn't this Xu Sheng from Suzhou? We had a farewell in the early autumn of last year. I don't want to see you here today."

Xu Yu's anger was interrupted suddenly, and he turned to the place where the voice came from. He was about to call out "Brother Song" and complain to Song Shi, but found that it was not Song Shi who was standing in the aisle outside, but Song Shi who was with him that day. Meet his Master Huan together.

Putting one hand on the edge of the table, Huan Ling nodded gently: "You want to find my junior brother? He still has to arrange for someone to renew the lecture notes, and he has to take care of all the teachers and students in the room. I'm afraid he won't be able to come to see you."

He heard it all!

Although his expression was not severe, and could even be said to be lenient, Xu Yu and the others couldn't help showing a bit of shame on their faces, and bowed their heads to salute him.

Huan Ling didn't care about them, and returned a salute, and asked: "Are you here also to give lectures, or do you want to learn how to run a seminar here in Fujian, and go back to Suzhou to do it yourself?"

Those talented scholars from Suzhou have just been stabbed a few times, how can they admit that they came to learn from other people's experience in organizing conferences?They are unwilling to speak, and they are unwilling to let their companions admit it.However, Zhu Hao was a man with a sense of responsibility, and he said against everyone's persuasion and opposition, "Master Huan is right, we are actually here to ask Mr. Song for advice on how to run this seminar well."

Lord Huan smiled slightly, nodded and said: "I think it's the same. My junior brother has to be busy until the end of the conference and he can't rest. I also watched him organize these two conferences from beginning to end. If you have any questions, just ask That's all for me."

He has a vigorous temperament and raised his finger to the academy: "This is not a place to talk. I think you can't ask clearly and you don't want to listen to the lectures. Why don't you borrow a quiet room in the academy to talk in detail."

He waved his sleeves and turned around to leave. Regardless of their state of mind, the talented scholars followed him obediently into the Song Academy.

After entering the room, the two parties were divided into guests and hosts, and Zhu Hao took the initiative to praise Song Shijin for his talent and learning when he was a teaching assistant today.It's not too difficult to be able to catch the lectures given by his own senior brother, but if it's not that he has a thorough understanding of the scriptures and his knowledge of Neo-Confucianism, he absolutely can't always ask ordinary people the most difficult things to understand when they study. I can't be so smooth when explaining to the students in the audience.

Praising the younger brother to the senior brother, of course, is to please Duke Huan, so that he can tell more about the key points of organizing the meeting.

Seeing that he was in a better mood, Zhu Hao asked further: "I don't know how Mr. Song came up with such a way of giving lectures?"

Huan Tongping was a selfless person, and when the other party asked for advice, he replied sincerely: "It's because my junior brother has amazing talent. If there is any difficulty in holding this lecture conference, he can solve it with just a little effort." find a solution."

What kind of answer is this?

Everyone was about to call him "shameless", but Huan Ling said more and more confidently: "You are all rare talents. Naturally, you know that people's talents are high or low. Some people study hard for half a lifetime. Problems that are difficult to solve, but you just casually answer them." You can understand it by reading the book."

It's true...

When it's their turn, they naturally have to admit that people are born with the spirit of heaven and earth, and their endowments can be thick or thin.Xu Songshi must be a child prodigy if they are the ones with excellent talents.

Huan Ling said sincerely: "My junior brother was enlightened at the age of eight, and he was able to pick up a pen to make a match. At the age of ten, the name of the child prodigy had spread all over Baoding. My late father is the one who reads the most thoroughly. Although I was lucky enough to be ahead of him in the mid-term exam, but in terms of Confucianism and Confucianism, the junior and younger brothers are not weaker than me. I have not taught him all these years, but have shared his knowledge. Studying scriptures, he also taught me a lot.”

It's just that he doesn't understand the theory of "people want to see the truth of heaven", so he can't mention it to others.
