Chapter 260 Meng Gua

They had been studying for a long time, and they all knew these two sentences written by Zhao Hanzhang!

Even so, Zhao Hanzhang still led them to read it again, and then said: "Can you understand these two sentences?"

Most people looked confused, and the rest, especially the older children, nodded directly, "It means that people are born kind..."

Zhao Cheng sat up straight when Zhao Hanzhang wrote these two sentences. He stared at the words on the blackboard with bright eyes, listening to her and the students explain what is inherently good.

Zhao Kuan and others who also came to observe were also very interested. After class, they couldn't help but start talking, "It has not yet been decided whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil. How come Sanniang has directly concluded it?"

"This is not a final conclusion," Zhao Cheng glanced at them and said, "This is just an opinion. You can also write a book and use it to enlighten students."

Is it so easy to write a book?

Zhao Cheng had already stood up, beckoned Zhao Hanzhang, and extended his hand to her.

Zhao Hanzhang immediately handed the book to him obediently. Zhao Cheng looked through it and asked, "Who wrote this book?"

"It's a man named Wang Yinglin."

Zhao Cheng frowned, "Why haven't I heard of such a famous person?"

Zhao Hanzhang said nothing.

Zhao Cheng read it briefly and frowned, "Why are there missing lines?"

Because the person written on it hadn't been born yet, and she couldn't find a good allusion to replace it, she could only leave it blank for the time being.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I forgot what those sentences were, so I didn't write them."

This is also normal nowadays, which is why knowledge is particularly important.

Zhao Cheng was very unhappy and said: "Forget about other books, this book is so catchy that you can forget it?"

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him innocently.

"That's all, where did you see that book, and who can you borrow it from?"

"That book was originally one of the miscellaneous books at home. I don't know who bought it from where. I happened to see it when I was a child and wrote down a paragraph." Zhao Hanzhang lied without changing his expression and said: "When I went south and returned to my hometown, I kept it in the box. It was lost along with many belongings and luggage."

Zhao Cheng was heartbroken and said sadly: "So many classics and inheritance were destroyed in the war."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded in agreement.

Zhao Cheng turned to look at Zhao Kuan and others, "So you guys don't always think about having fun. As long as you have free time, copy more books."

"Copying the book will not only allow you to memorize it again, or gain deeper insights, but also leave more classics. If we really encounter the disaster of war, who knows that the handwritten book in your hands will not be the only one in the future."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded repeatedly, approving of it, and encouraged: "Brothers, you have worked hard, maybe you will be famous in history in the future."

Zhao Kuan and others are very handsome. As students, whether in the future or now, copying books is definitely not very popular, especially this kind of copying of entire books.

"Three Character Classic" Zhao Hanzhang made some deletions, but "Thousand Character Classic" was copied. She said to Zhao Cheng: "Uncle, I think all students entering school must learn these two books, as well as the arithmetic written by Ting Han." , after learning these three books, the students’ enlightenment is over, and they can receive graded education according to their learning situation and wishes, whether they want to turn to learn other crafts or continue studying.”

Zhao Cheng flipped through the thousand-character essay she handed over and was surprised, "This was also written by Wang Yinglin?"

"No, this was written by Zhou Xingsi."

This person is much older than Wang Yinglin. He should be born in another one hundred, fifty or sixty years.

Zhao Cheng was fascinated by what he saw, and Zhao Kuan and others also came up to watch.

After a long while, he sighed, closed the book and handed it to them. He looked at the two lines on the blackboard and said: "A penetrating summary cannot be accomplished without a thorough knowledge of the past and the present."

He turned to look at Zhao Kuan and others, and asked: "Do you know where these two sentences about the beginning of man come from?"

Zhao Kuan and his brothers looked at each other, and finally had to bite the bullet under their gazes, "It should be from Mencius's theory of 'nature is inherently good'. "Gongsun Chou. Part 1" says, 'Everyone has a heart that cannot bear others'... …”

Zhao Kuan stopped talking under Zhao Cheng's gaze, lowered his head and said, "The student knows his mistake."

Zhao Cheng glanced at him expressionlessly, then turned to look at Zhao Hanzhang, who was gloating and watching from the sidelines, "What do you think?"

Zhao Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, then stuttered under Zhao Cheng's increasingly unkind gaze: "The earliest words, come from "The Book of Changes"?"

Seeing that Zhao Cheng's expression softened slightly, Zhao Hanzhang continued: "The fourth hexagram of Meng in the Book of Changes, which says 'Tong Meng begged me', is exactly about enlightenment. Confucius once pointed to this hexagram and said, 'A spring comes out of the mountain, and Meng , A gentleman cultivates virtue through fruitful actions."

"What does this have to do with nature being inherently good?"

"Why not? This is a metaphor," Zhao Hanzhang said: "A newborn child is as clear and translucent as the spring water flowing out of the mountain, and it is also innocent. This is the basis of heaven and earth for human nature to be inherently good at the beginning."

Zhao Cheng nodded, and then said to them, "You never pay attention to reading, and you feel empty when you use it."

He said: "Meng hexagram, the sixth day of the lunar month, enlightenment, using torture, using words to shackle, in the past, stinginess."

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, he couldn't help but get angry, "Although I haven't taught you the Book of Changes, haven't you read such an important book?"

Zhao Kuan and others lowered their heads.

Zhao Cheng turned to look at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang suddenly felt like she was being stared at by the Chinese teacher in junior high school. She subconsciously said: "This is the beginning of the sixth level of enlightenment. It is appropriate to receive enlightenment education in order to correct your character, avoid committing crimes, and avoid being shackles." ."

She paused and then said: "When people are born, their nature is good; their nature is similar, but their habits are far apart. If you don't teach, your nature will change; the way to teach is to be specialized. These two sentences come from the Meng hexagram, and they are all about enlightenment The importance of education.”

Zhao Cheng nodded happily, glanced at Zhao Kuan and others, and said quietly: "How many years younger is Sanniang than you~"

Zhao Kuan and others all blushed.

"Your martial arts skills are not as good as hers, and you are not even as good as her in martial arts. What use do you have?"

Zhao Hanzhang saw that the faces of several young men were about to drip with blood, and he said boldly: "Uncle, the Meng hexagram also says that attacking Meng is not good for bandits. You are too violent towards your brothers and the others."

After that, he turned around and ran away.

Zhao Cheng was very angry, but he couldn't chase her. He could only turn and stare at Zhao Kuan and the others, "Is your teacher very violent?"

Zhao Kuan and others shook their heads repeatedly, almost shaking their heads off.

Zhao Cheng's expression improved a little, and he snorted and said, "The Book of Changes is too difficult, so you are not interested, so I won't force you to study it, but you should still read it. If you understand the principles in it, If you can understand it even a little bit, it will be enough for this life."

"Sanniang is still your sister."

Zhao Kuan and others were ashamed and agreed one after another.
