The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2208 Confucius's learning method!

In particular, Confucius himself said that his teaching purpose is "If you are not angry, you will not be enlightened; if you are not frustrated, you will not be inspired. If you do not use one corner to reflect the other three corners, then you will not repeat it."

In simple terms, this sentence means that when teaching students, do not guide students until they have tried hard but have not obtained the correct knowledge; do not inspire students until they have reached a bottleneck and want to speak out but are almost able to speak out. If students cannot draw inferences from one example, then they will not be taught again.

This educational method can be called a stroke of genius when educating geniuses. It is the summary of Confucius' education of students for many years. It is not a casual talk, but his practical life experience.

This method spends the least effort and reaps the greatest results.

However, this educational method is only suitable for elite education, especially for people with strong subjective initiative, and for those with strong self-control and learning ability. Once this method is used in mass education, it is simply a disaster for education.

It is precisely because the human race has been using this educational method for a long time that there is a lack of talent in all classes, especially at the bottom, and even some geniuses who are stupid early and mature late will be buried.

However, Confucius has another teaching method, which is praised by his disciple Yan Hui, that is, Yan Zi, "The master is good at persuading people step by step."

This sentence is Yan Zi praising Confucius for guiding and teaching his disciples to learn in an orderly manner, and the focus of this sentence is "guidance".

But in Fang Yun's view, using vulgar words to describe Yan Zi is "standing and talking without back pain".

Because Confucius once praised Yan Zi in "The Analects": "I talked with Hui all day long, and he did not disagree, like a fool. When I retreated and reflected on his private affairs, I was also able to understand, and Hui was not stupid."

This means that Confucius taught Yan Zi all day long, and Yan Zi rarely raised objections and questions, like a stupid person who did not understand. In fact, Yan Zi understood some things and did not understand others, but after listening to the lecture, he went back to study and could solve the questions by himself, and he was able to learn something, which shows that Yan Zi was not stupid.

In other words, Yan Zi was a genius to a certain extent, otherwise he would not have been praised by Confucius repeatedly, and even Confucius said that he wanted to learn from Yan Zi, and he was Confucius' most valued disciple.

This is the education and learning method between the two academic masters. The elementary school master is smart and quick to understand, while the university master is extremely wise and will not be enlightened unless he is angry or frustrated. Therefore, in the eyes of the elementary school master, the university master is guiding him to learn in a very precise and orderly way.

In fact, for ordinary students, listening to Confucius' lectures is basically a fog, and Confucius' actual lectures are not at all persuasive.

Many old gentlemen recite "The Analects" to teach students, and only deliberately read the sentences that form a general consensus. In those controversial parts, they read them in long sentences, regardless of whether the students can understand them.

So Fang Yun is ready to give up elite education and conduct mass education. Although this will make the profession of teacher suffer and bear huge sacrifices, it will not be understood by students or even society, but there is no way.

Not everyone is Confucius, not everyone is Yan Zi.

If you want the human race to grow, you must make endless sacrifices.

Many times, as long as there is one person who remembers, as long as there is one person who is grateful, this sacrifice is worth it.

The foundation of mass education is to be simple and easy to understand, well-organized, and to be truly persuasive.

Punctuation, simplified fonts, exegesis and phonetic notation, and the sea of ​​questions are all top priorities, and none of them can be missing.

The so-called sea of ​​questions is to go to the opposite of students' learning from one example and applying it to other cases. You should learn from one example and apply it to another, and learn from four examples and apply it to four cases. Don't advocate quality education, just cramming teaching, so that you will not miss any late bloomers, and ordinary students will also get obvious improvement.

Whether in Shengyuan Continent or in the ancient country of China, every student must recognize one thing, the purpose of learning is not to pass the exam, but to enrich knowledge, to acquire abilities, to survive, and to give yourself more choices.

Too many students receive the wrong education in their childhood and adolescence, thinking that learning is to cope with exams. In the end, even if they have achieved success and get good educational opportunities, they fall into confusion, unable to overcome the slightest setback, and are muddle-headed. Even if he later realized that he had made a huge mistake, he could not calm down and re-learn under the huge inertia, and his life naturally could not make progress.

A long time ago, Fang Yun decided to give all students a clear understanding. Even if most students failed to see through the essence of learning, at least they were pointed out early, which had a certain correction effect on their lives.

Fang Yun had read all versions of the "Analects" in Shengyuan Continent in recent years, and also read all the relevant books in ancient China. He had a deep understanding of the "Analects" and had his own opinions.

As early as after being promoted to the second realm of Confucian scholars, Fang Yun had felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck. He realized that he could be promoted to the third realm, but it was very difficult to go up. He felt something in his heart and read the "Analects" repeatedly. Finally, he was attracted by Confucius' words "silently know it, never tired of learning, and never tired of teaching others". After repeated pondering, he suddenly realized it.

These three sentences are not only known to almost everyone in Shengyuan Continent, but also in ancient China, but there are very few people who can really see through it, that is, those who have reached the realm of "drawing inferences from one example".

Memorizing it silently is the first step, which is the most basic reading and memorization, even if it is rote memorization.

Learning without getting tired, the literal meaning is to learn without getting bored, but the paraphrase should be that learning cannot have limitations, it must have breadth, and at the same time have depth in the field of expertise, and learn repeatedly.

Finally, "teach others tirelessly", Fang Yun thought it was Confucius' teaching method at first, but after pondering, he realized that this is the method of learning!

The focus of "teach others tirelessly" is not to teach people, but the "tireless" behind it, which is to teach others tirelessly and without reservation, or to share knowledge. Only in this way can one master knowledge more thoroughly and firmly.

After Fang Yun understood it, he immediately remembered that someone in later generations had studied that listening to lectures and preliminary learning can only obtain a small amount of knowledge, only one or two tenths, and it is not solid, because most of what is learned is forgotten and disappears.

Only after reviewing can a certain amount of knowledge be firmly obtained, but only two or three tenths.

But if you use teaching or communication to say what you have learned and reviewed, then the knowledge you have obtained is not only more, but it is possible to have 90% or even 100%, and it is very solid.

Thousands of years ago, Confucius already knew this truth and has been using it!

The more Fang Yun read "The Analects", the more he found that the most essential part of this book is the way of learning, and the rest, whether it is benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom or politics, are all details.

The Analects is a magical book that teaches people how to fish.

So Fang Yun decided to carry out the three-step method of learning, reviewing and teaching in the future Fang Academy. Although letting students teach is the most time-consuming and difficult to implement, it can make them make great progress and can be used in key knowledge.

At most, let the children tell their parents. Regardless of whether the parents will listen carefully, letting the children talk there is an excellent way to learn.

Teaching is not just a single act of speaking, but a complex and continuous act, which also includes the most critical mining memory and strengthening knowledge.

It was after learning this that Fang Yun was able to educate the edge of the holy way!

In fact, I don’t want the author to preach the most. It’s enough to borrow the words of the people in the book, but I’m afraid that some readers don’t read this chapter carefully.

So I may occupy the paid chapter to say a few words to let everyone spend a few cents more. Whether in school or in society, you must keep learning, reviewing and teaching, especially those with children. It is very important to cultivate children. Of course, genius doesn’t matter, and they are elites at any age.

The confused person mentioned in the article is my classmate. He had excellent grades in school, but he fell into love during college. Now he has a wife and a son. When we got in touch again this year, he cried and said that his parents did not know how to plan his life, did not choose a major and career for him, did not point out the real path for him, and studied only for exams, which made him regret it now. He said that if I had scolded him and encouraged him, he would definitely not be like this now.

Unfortunately, I didn’t understand these principles myself at that time.

If no one helped me point it out, I could regret it. If someone pointed it out and I didn’t do it, I could only sigh.

The key to progress is change.

Saying this, I fell behind in the novel in writing, but I really can’t help it, sorry.

The following are free chapters.

Ahem, I had a stomachache all day today, and I fell asleep in a daze. I woke up in the middle of the night with discomfort. After that, I relaxed and felt much better. I quickly finished these two chapters.

Someone asked me which book I should start learning from. I suggest reading the "Annotations to the Analects" by Yang Bojun first. It is a good introductory book to learn the Analects. You will really gain something. Of course, you should learn selectively. Don't accept everything. Just cross out some of the translation annotations. Only by being ruthless can you gain something.

After learning something, you can read "Collected Annotations to the Four Books of Zhu Xi". You can either not read this book or read the original text directly. I was lazy and bought several versions of the translation annotations, which were all wrong and omissions. The level was not even as good as mine. It was obvious that the author asked his students to translate blindly. It is better to read the original text directly.

In terms of learning methods and life experience, the Analects is far better than the other three books and the Five Classics. Of course, the "Book of Changes" is better in terms of style. The "University" is not a learning method, but more like a practice method.

There are many festivals recently, and there are discounts on various websites. It is a good time to buy books.

I actually wasted some time in the past two years, but recently I suddenly felt very emotional, how lucky I am to live in an era where I can get the life experience of predecessors and sages by spending a few dozen dollars.
