Be a master through ancient times

The "Teaching Open Day" held by the Imperial College this time, in addition to officials from the court and China, he also invited the mountain chiefs from various academies to lead outstanding masters to visit together.

Because what he wanted to present on this open day was the most simple class, so Chuci did not specially train the on-the-spot reactions of the students and teachers, but only ordered a few teachers to prepare a demonstration class tomorrow.

These demonstration classes are four books taught by Dr. Liu, nine chapters taught by Dr. Lu, music theory taught by Wu Xuezheng, chess games taught by Zhao Xuelu, and physical education taught by Meng Xuelu.

The characteristic of these classes is innovation, abandoning the old-fashioned teaching methods, and turning them into lively classrooms. Teachers have changed from absolute leaders to learning inspirers, and they will see more students. Their wonderful performance.

The other masters are not idle, and Chu Ci also asked them to pay attention to the discipline in the classroom, because those court officials may directly target their children.Chu Ci told them that if someone came to the class, don't be nervous, just ignore it.

Tell me what you need to do for tomorrow.Chu Ci began to direct the servants to arrange the lecture venue.Because there are almost 30 people in each class of Guozijian, they set up [-] tables at the top.The seats below are all prepared for the lecturers. The long tables are lined up in a row, and the chairs are close together. About one row can seat fifteen or six people.

After Chu Ci commanded this place, he stepped out of the door again, telling the person who drew the arrow sign to move slowly, and don't draw anything.

While Chu Ci was directing, someone suddenly reported that someone outside the door claimed to be the director of the Ministry of Industry. He wanted to visit Chu Siye and asked Chu Citong if he would let him in.

As soon as Chu Ci heard it, he knew it was Kou Xun. Remembering the last time he asked Kou Xun to help him study the blackboard and chalk, Chu Ci's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Quick, invite him in."

"Let's go now, little one!" Seeing that Chu Ci was so excited, the porter also quickly ran to the mountain gate.

"Our Chu Siye is free now, Kou Sishe, please go in."

Kou Xun didn't come alone, he brought several subordinates with him. These subordinates were carrying a lot of things on their shoulders, and they looked quite tired.

"Chu Siye, we have finally made the blackboard and chalk. Didn't delay your business?" Kou Xun said with a smile.

"Where is it, I am very grateful that you can make what Chu needs in your busy schedule." Chu Ci also smiled and cupped his hands at him.

Kou Xun asked his subordinates to put down the blackboard, then uncovered the cloth wrapped on it, and a brand new blackboard appeared in front of Chu Ci.

This blackboard is carefully crafted, the paint on it is even and delicate, it looks like it was originally covered on it.

Chu Ci tapped it with his hand and found that the sound sounded clear and pleasant, obviously the wood is also of high quality.

Kou Xun said: "We have tried many kinds of wood these days. Only this kind of wood with larger texture can be painted evenly. Then, I also added some frozen pear juice in the paint, so that it feels smooth to the touch. It can be easily wiped off by writing on it.”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of chalk and wrote a word crookedly on it, and then wiped the word clean with the provided silk scarf, without leaving any traces.

Chu Ci was impressed by his brain hole, but the Ministry of Industry should be able to come up with such a solution, right?He looked at the chalk in Kou Xun's hand, it was clean and white, and the writing was very clear.He knew that chalk was made of limestone and gypsum, but he didn't know how to operate it. Kou Xun was able to make such a good chalk under these two simple conditions, which is worthy of the Ministry of Industry.

"This chalk?" Chu Ci noticed with sharp eyes that there seemed to be more than one color of chalk in the wooden box where the chalk was placed.

"Oh, I think only one white color is too monotonous, so I put some dyes in it to make it into different colors. I don't know if this is feasible?" Kou Xun is a little proud. He has always liked bright colors, so he put dyes in it on a whim. , I didn't expect it to be successful.

Chu Ci patted him on the shoulder with his hand, and then said: "Brother Kou is really a god-man, and his ability to infer other things from one example really makes me admire."

Kou Xun smiled happily, and asked, "Chu Siye, do you know how to use this thing? I have tried it several times, and this chalk can't be held like an ordinary pen, otherwise I can't write at all."

Among the people in the Ministry of Industry, his handwriting is the best. Kou Xun feels that his ability to accept new things is too strong!

He just wanted to teach Chu Ci how to write, when he saw Chu Ci chuckled, took out a piece of chalk from the wooden box and looked at it for a while, the look in his eyes was inexplicable, as if there was some sense of nostalgia in it.

Chu Ci raised his wrist, held the sleeve with the other hand, and began to write. The chalk hit the blackboard and made a "da da" sound. Following this sound, a line of beautiful lines appeared on the blackboard. block letters.

"Teacher, so preach and teach karma to solve doubts!"

After finishing writing, Chu Ci looked at Kou Xun, and said embarrassedly: "I haven't practiced for a long time, and some hands are raw, so brother Kou laughed."

Kou Xun smirked, threw the chalk in his hand into the box without any trace, and said: "Chu Siye is too modest, your calligraphy is very good, have you practiced it before?"

Chu Ci said calmly: "When Yu was young, his family was poor, and he had no money to buy paper and ink, so he usually used a wooden stick to write on the mud floor. It must have been practiced."

"I have another question, why is this line written horizontally from left to right?"

Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled to cover up: "This blackboard is very long but not wide. If you write vertically, you have to bend down often. The teachers in our country's Zijian are all old, and it is really uncomfortable to always bend down. , so I thought, if you don’t write horizontally, it will save some effort.”

Kou Xun suddenly realized: "That's how it is. Chu Siye is as meticulous as a hair, and he is even more considerate to his subordinates. I admire him."

Chu Ci laughed dryly, and then asked Kou Xun to come in and sit down.

Kou Xun shook his head and said, "It's getting late, and the Ministry of Industry still has something to do, so I won't be sitting today. By the way, the shelf behind this is used to put the blackboard. You can send someone over to carry them in. I'll be there soon." Stayed."

Chu Ci immediately ordered the servants to take in the wooden frame blackboard and chalk, and then sent Kou Xun and the others to the mountain gate before turning back.

He had the blackboard tilted to the side, just enough for the students and those listening below to see it.Afterwards, he asked people to invite some students who were going to class tomorrow to let them get to know the blackboard and chalk.

……

On the [-]th day, the sky was clear and cloudless, with endless clarity, as if washed by water. This is the scene that can only be seen in ancient times.

The students returned to the Imperial College yesterday, and early in the morning, a few students came to the gate of the mountain.Wearing the uniform of the Imperial College, they looked young and energetic.

A student nailed a wooden sign near the mountain gate, with three large characters written on it—sign in.In addition, there were two tables there, and some things were placed in a mess, all of which would be given to those who came to the class later.

"Hurry up, people are coming soon, why don't you tidy up your things?" Zhu Feng stood aside with folded arms, squinting at them as they hurriedly tidy up the things on the table.

"You came here to help, you're good at making sarcastic remarks!" Zhu Mingyue glared at Zhu Feng while arranging the papers on the table.

"Hey, my company asked me to lead the team. He said that I was in charge of the overall arrangement and you were in charge of the work, understand?" Zhu Feng was very proud.

"Know what!" Zhu Mingyue choked him, and Zhu Feng immediately strangled his neck with his backhand, scaring him to beg for mercy.

Several other people stopped what they were doing and stood aside as if they were watching a show.

"Zhu Feng! What are you doing?" Wen Ran came down from the top and immediately glared at them sullenly, "The guests are coming soon! Do you want them to see such a miserable side of our Zijian students? Don't you put If things are done well, if you mess up what Si Ye told you later, ten points will be deducted from each person!"

As soon as Wen Ran, the secretary of the student union, got out, Zhu Feng and the others immediately became honest. Who said that the power to deduct points is in his hands?

A group of lads are still very agile when they work seriously. After a while, they sorted out the original messy materials.

After waiting for a while, a carriage finally came towards us.Four or five people dressed as masters got out of the car, and when they saw someone sitting here, they walked towards this side.

"Dare to ask this little brother, are you a student of Guozijian? We are teachers of Zhoushan Academy."

"Hello, masters, Chu Siye asked me to wait here to welcome the distinguished guests. Please sign in here first, and then go to the venue according to the route indicated by the sign." Wen Ran had a just right smile on his face, carefully introduce them.

Zhu Feng flipped the sign-in book to Zhoushan Academy, and handed over the brush for them to sign.

People in Zhoushan Academy have also heard about this point. The head of Zhoushan Academy took the brush and wrote down his name carefully, and other people signed it one by one.

After signing, the mayor of Zhoushan received two things, namely a thin charcoal strip and a stack of bound paper.He was a little confused, but he was embarrassed to ask questions directly, lest he be said to be ignorant.He had no choice but to take these two things and climb up step by step along the signs given.

After Zhoushan Academy, other academies also came to the door one after another, as many as seven or eight people, as few as two or three people. In addition to the six major academies, other small academies in the capital Chuci also invited.Most of the invited people are still very interested in what kind of open day this is.

Those who arrived at the venue first randomly chose a seat and sat down, and soon someone brought hot tea to them.It is rare for the masters of these academies in the capital to get together so well, and after a while, they were able to speak.

The people from the academy arrived earlier, and the officials were about to arrive later, but they all arrived just in time for Chen Shi.After the officials came, these masters stood up and saluted consciously, and gave them the front seats.The officials were not polite either, and sat down immediately.

As the bell rang three times, Chu Ci came to the stage, and everyone in the audience quieted down instantly, waiting for him to speak.

"Welcome everyone to come to the teaching open day of our Guozijian today. Here, we have prepared six lessons, all of which are different from the previous teaching methods. If you have any doubts, please criticize and correct in the final link. Thank you very much. .Next, I hope everyone can do..."

Chu Ci explained the discipline of the venue, and then announced the start of the event.

Thirty students lined up to enter the arena, and then sat down one by one. Their faces were solemn and their bodies were straight, which made the others couldn't help but get serious.

Chu Ci did not step down, but stayed on the stage, standing in front of the big black board.

"Hello, Si Ye!" The students bowed their hands together, and Chu Ci stood on the stage and returned the half salute before letting the students sit down.

He said: "As the saying goes, a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. When wearing clothes, one must not only wear its material, but also carefully choose its color, so as to show a person's taste. Then, this lesson Let's learn how to match colors more harmoniously."

Chu Ci took a piece of chalk and wrote five large characters on the blackboard with the matching of colors.

Don't talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, don't talk about the nine chapters of poetry, what does it mean to talk about this?Some people were very puzzled, but Chu Ci had already stated his request before, so he could only continue reading with these doubts.

In the following time, Chu Ci first asked the students to talk about the colors they knew, and then asked them to use the official uniforms of various grades as examples to explain how they match colors.After the students had finished speaking, Chu Ci began to summarize which color combinations would appear more solemn and which color combinations would impress people.

After that, he asked the students to design a set of clothing collocation, including tops, bottoms, belts and shoes.When the students explained, he would use colored chalks to draw what the students said. With the specific presentation, the students could intuitively recognize their own deficiencies in matching, and then choose better ones.

After one class, people who were a bit indifferent to this topic were fascinated by it. Everyone has a love for beauty. Even in the court, there is an unspoken rule that ugly people are not allowed to be officials. They are court officials. Since this is closely related to one's own interests, it is natural to listen carefully.

When Chu Ci was explaining, they looked at each other's clothes. If there was such a miserable match that Chu Ci said, they would inevitably laugh at it.Before, I felt that this person always looked a little out of character, but it turned out that it was not because of his appearance, but because of the hot clothes matching his eyes.

Chu Ci's class was temporarily decided yesterday afternoon. His purpose was to promote blackboards and chalk, let everyone know the benefits of these two things, and then persuade the Ministry of Households to pay for ordering for various yamen.

After he finished the class, he found that the effect was obvious. Apart from the content of the class and the performance of the students, everyone also noticed these two new things.

However, compared to the court officials, the masters of various academies are more interested in this.As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.They can already imagine how many surprises this thing will bring to the classroom in the future.

Facing everyone's thirsty eyes, Chu Ci signaled everyone to be calm and calm, and he would naturally explain it clearly to everyone in the exchange meeting after the class.

Everyone had no choice but to suppress their emotions and wait for the second class.The second class is Dr. Liu's Four Books class, which is one of the "Mencius".The literary skills he showed in this class are amazing. He extends from one story to other things. He can tell similar historical events in any dynasty before the Great Wei like a few treasures.The students actively put forward their doubts and opinions on the problems, and the two sides came and went, like a fierce debate match.

The students who did not participate in the debate also listened very carefully, and each took out charcoal sticks and paper to write down the key points.

At this time, those people in the audience knew why they had to send this to them after signing in.They are used to holding brushes, and they are not used to it. Naturally, they are not as good as the students on the stage.

The third class is nine chapters. The nine chapters taught by Dr. Lu are very rigorous. First, a sample problem is given to explain in detail, and then several similar types of problems are given for them to do by themselves.What Chu Ci admires the most is not only Dr. Lu's achievements in the nine chapters, but also his decent chalk writing.After all, this thing was only delivered yesterday, presumably after Dr. Lu figured out how to write with chalk, he secretly came here to practice later. He had to admire this perseverance.

After the three classes in the morning, Chu Ci announced that it would continue in the afternoon, and then he called the hundred or so people here to eat in the dining hall.

In addition to the original staff in the canteen, Chu Ci also contacted the aunts in the Tzu Chi Institute to help, and only then did the meals for more than 500 people be prepared.

The food is self-service. Children who go to school in the Imperial College will naturally be taken by the children to buy food, and the rest will be entertained by the masters of the Imperial College.

Zhu Mingyue's father took a big dinner plate and picked a little bit here and there, picked up a chopstick with great interest, and he piled up a full plate before he gave up.After Zhu Mingyue came over to eat, his vision immediately went dark, and he was on the verge of fainting.

"Father! How can you cook so many dishes!"

"You unfilial son, what's wrong with me eating more food?" Master Zhu didn't care.

"Our company stipulates that how much you eat, how much you eat, it's shameful to waste! Leftovers will be deducted points. You are my father, and they must put points on me!" Zhu Mingyue expressed his aggrievedness. He hasn't deducted too many points in the last ten days, and he is clearly a strong contender for the mobile red flag in the second ten days, but he will fall short because of his father!

Master Zhu said awkwardly: "Just buckle a little..."

"Our Siye used to call us cheating on our fathers. I think you are cheating on your son! No, you have to eat all of them, and you must not deduct points!" Zhu Mingyue said sadly. He picked up the bowl and began to pick up the rice, while helping him. Put vegetables in dad's bowl.

Mr. Zhu was a little speechless. The first time this stinky boy helped his father take food, it was actually in order not to deduct points. Is it their prestige in the business, or his prestige?
