no. 210 Education in the Immortal World (continued)
"Hiss, this fairy world is really different. When I was in Taixue, I learned magic and studied the way of heaven." Kong Yingda took a breath and looked at Huang Junming in disbelief. In his opinion, magic and studying the way of heaven are things that only immortals can do attain enlightenment, and they are quite secret. I didn't expect that I could learn these things when I was in school. However, after thinking about what Huang Junming had just said, Kong Yingda also saw something: "Immortal Master, the old child understands that the so-called primary and middle schools in the fairy world emphasizes the accumulation of knowledge, from shallow to deep, and comprehensive development, not a single reading of classics. But in this way, the students have become miscellaneous and unsophisticated?"
As the Imperial College Priest, Kong Yingda is also a Confucian figure who is very knowledgeable when talking about education issues, and his thinking can be keen. He hits the point and explains the subject characteristics of Huang Junming who studied in modern primary and secondary schools in the fairy world...
"No, middle schools and primary schools are just to lay the foundation for students. It takes twelve years to lay the foundation. As long as students recognize learning, there is a lot of knowledge. Take the geography of middle schools as an example. As long as you learn the geography of middle schools, you can know what kind of place has what kind of climate, why does it snow in winter in the north, but the south of the Yangtze River are like spring all year round. And what kind of climate is suitable for planting which crops are suitable for planting. A certain terrain represents what land movement has happened here, whether there will be frequent earthquakes and volcanoes in a certain place. What is the flow of the sea? According to the flow of the sea, you can know when and where is the sea surface?
You can fish on the top. You can even know why it is cold in winter and hot in summer. How do the stars in the sky change directions? And so on. Of course, many places in this geography need to be calculated, and mathematical knowledge is inevitable at this time. But this is the basis for middle school to learn." Every time Huang Junming said something, the expressions of civil servants who were doing changed. None of them knows these things. Even if they have some understanding, they only know the basics. In the fairy world, these are the foundations. How can they be as good as ministers? Huang Junming also understood what was going on when he saw the expressions of civil servants, and he was a little satisfied.
"Is that true?" Kong Yingda opened his eyes wide and stared at Huang Junming's face. It seemed to be trying to see from Huang Junming's face that Huang Junming was lying, but in fact, it was like this. Huang Junming said it was right. But he just didn't say it. It was just theoretical knowledge. If he wanted to achieve what Huang Junming said, he had to be a very talented student to do it. Of course, Huang Junming didn't want to tell the disadvantages of modern education. At this time, it is still necessary to crack down on civil officials who are confident in their knowledge reserves.
"As long as students study hard, they can reach the level that I said." Huang Junming nodded affirmatively.
"Oh my God! This is how the teaching in the fairy world is! If everyone can be like the fairy world..." Kong Yingda couldn't help but put what Huang Junming said into his mind and imagined it.
"Listen to what the immortal master said, the immortal world does not seem to pay much attention to Confucianism?" A civil official suddenly frowned and said to Huang Junming.
"No, all schools in the fairy world attach the same importance to it, no matter which school is the same in the fairy world, it is all the knowledge under the great Tao." Obviously, the civil servant who spoke before was a somewhat pedantic old scholar, and he was a little dissatisfied with the status of Confucianism. Huang Junming naturally would not care much about him. He replied directly to him: "In the fairy world, those with deep knowledge can be called Confucianism, and those who study the power of the great Tao are called Tao. However, this has nothing to do with education. It depends entirely on what the students are ambition. Just like the subjects, history, geography, and thoughts that tend to be Confucianism, physics, chemistry, and biology tend to be Tao. As for literature and number, both of them need to be learned whether they are partial Confucianism or Taoism." Huang Junming explained to the civil servants present, which indirectly highlighted the meaning of Confucianism and Taoism. The civil servant who spoke just now did not express his opinion again, quietly didn't know what they were thinking.
"Immortal Master. What is this creature? You didn't seem to say it just now?" Kong Yingda suddenly interrupted.
"Oh." Huang Junming was a little speechless. The temporary organization was indeed not as rigorous as he had prepared for a long time. Unexpectedly, he forgot this "biology" just now. "Biology...well, it is to let students understand the concept of every life-related **, such as cells, blood, how plants reproduce, etc. Oh, you may not understand cells, it is the most basic and tiniest thing that maintains life activities. If you have time, I will let you see what cells are. All living objects in the world are composed of cells, including people. As long as you know these." Huang Junming did not know much about organisms, and his vague impression was nothing more than remembering what sexual reproduction is, what asexual reproduction is, and what cells are, etc. After all, Huang Junming has been away from high school for nearly ten years, and those things have long been returned to the teacher.
"Oh, you are learning to study living objects." Kong Yingda said to himself as if he understood. However, he had a new question: "Immortal Master, isn't the fairy world dedicated to learning something?"
Hearing Kong Yingda ask this, Huang Junming continued to answer: "Of course, there are institutions that specialize in learning something, called universities in the fairy world, and some in universities specialize in studying classics, culture, and how to write, which is called the Department of Literature. Those who specialize in studying history are called the Department of History, and those who specialize in studying medicine, business, management, computing, institutions, architecture, teachers, etc. These are all relatively general terms. In fact, hundreds of things can be classified to make people specialize in learning."
"There are also teachers who learn from?" Kong Yingda was very curious about this. Most of the teachers in the Tang Dynasty were great scholars or officials. They even failed the exams in some cases, but these teachers never learn how to be a teacher. Teachers are just a part-time job in their lives.
When Huang Junming heard Kong Yingda say this, he glanced at Li Shimin, who had not spoken for a long time. Could it be that Li Shimin did not reveal what Huang Junming said last time? However, seeing that Li Shimin was like you did everything, Huang Junming felt deeply helpless. He had to return to Kong Yingda: "Of course, what is a teacher? Teachers are people who impart knowledge and experience, and engineers of the human soul, and shoulder great responsibilities. How can they not learn systematically?!"
"What is an engineer?" Kong Yingda expressed his incomprehension to Huang Junming's words again and asked.
"You don't have to worry about what an engineer is!" Huang Junming's mood is starting to get anxious now. Li Shimin has not finished many things, but he is busy day by day. Can he not make Huang Junming angry? At least four months have passed since he talked about the teacher's problem with Li Shimin last time, but Kong Yingda, the Minister of Education of the Tang Dynasty, did not know any news, which made Huang Junming feel that he was neglected and put on hold. He tried his best to say anything but was not cared about, and he would feel a little disappointed if he put it on anyone.
"Master Kong, you can think about it. If a teacher has a low level of knowledge and a bad character, what will the students taught look like? No matter how profound the knowledge students learn, they are, are they just a teacher? Knowledge is accumulated bit by bit, and it cannot be learned out of thin air. If a teacher's knowledge is not high, it will definitely limit the content of the knowledge students learn. What is this not to mislead people's children?! Teachers are also taught and answer questions. Without sufficient knowledge background, how can you talk about preaching? How can you talk about teaching? How can you talk about solving doubts? If the teacher is not morally good, hum, and the reason for such a simple way to go up and down is so simple, I should also understand. I don't need to say more about what consequences will be caused by then?"
Kong Yingda was hit hard on the head by Huang Junming's words. She couldn't realize when the chopsticks she was holding fell to the ground. In fact, this was very simple.
The truth is, but no one just thinks about it. After hearing what Huang Junming said, Kong Yingda had already suffered a cold sweat. Except for the children of aristocratic families, most of the Tang Dynasty relied on self-study. Even if there was a teacher, he would mainly learn by himself. The saying "Teacher is to teach and solve doubts" made Kong Yingda a little dissatisfied with the current teachers in the Tang Dynasty. Teachers are called teachers everywhere, but how many of them have truly fulfilled their responsibilities? In the long run, talented students have no chance to study, or are led astray by unqualified teachers, and waste resources and time without talent. Alas, it is not worth telling outsiders.
"What the immortal master said is like a drum and a morning bell, which is ashamed. It seems that the old man's priest's priest's wine is quite unqualified." Kong Yingda stood up from his seat, first bowed to Huang Junming, then bowed to Li Shimin and then said, "Your Majesty, the old master petitioned to give the official position of priest's wine to the century-old immortal master. I hope your majesty will agree that the position of priest's wine is much more suitable than the old minister." After that, he knelt down heavily.
Huang Junming was a little overwhelmed by Kong Yingda's actions. Is this old man making a fuss like that? Is the Imperial College? I have found something for me? I haven't finished so many things now. I'm adding something to myself. Even if the immortal comes, I can't hold on. Before Li Shimin can respond, Huang Junming said, "Mr. Kong, I can't do this position as the Imperial College. You should do it yourself." After that, Huang Junming gave Li Shimin a look of your handling, and took a step back and hid behind Li Shimin.
