The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 249 Educational Psychology
Wait for Zhu Baishi to leave for a while.

Bai Gui glanced at the living room again, the furnishings were similar to before, unchanged, still as simple as before, except that there were a few more books on the altar between the two straight-backed chairs against the wall.

Books are not the Four Books and Five Classics.

He took a closer look and saw some new books.

Several newly published books such as "Introduction to Education", "Educational Psychology", and "Revisiting Chinese Textbooks for Middle Schools".

In 1868, the Raksha country educator Ushinsky published "Man is the Object of Education". In 1877, Kaputerev published the first book "Educational Psychology". In 1903, the Kenyan psychologist Thorndike published "Educational Psychology".

In the normal colleges in the early Republic of China, "Educational Psychology" was one of the standing textbooks.

"It should be that Mr. Zhu bought it specially after he became the principal of Zishui County Normal School."

Bai Gui thought.

He flipped through the books, and there were annotations in small script written by Mr. Zhu in these books. From time to time, he could see the yellowed corners of the pages, which showed that he read them seriously.

It happened to be free at this time.

He simply sat on the chair and read slowly.

lean less.

Mr. Zhu walked in, seeing this, he was surprised and said: "Meihe, I didn't expect you to be interested in this."

"The vocabulary mentioned above is really weird. I am too old to learn these things. For example, what educational psychology said, Pavlov's dog, going around, it took me a long time to figure it out. ..."

He smiled freely.

"I have come into contact with these in the normal school, and I have learned about them in the medical department of Dongyang School."

"I can tell you about it later, sir."

When Bai Gui heard Mr. Zhu's voice, he quickly got up and saluted respectfully, and then replied seriously.

Confucius said: "When three of us walk together, there must be my teacher."

That's why disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than disciples.There is a sequence of hearing, and there is a specialization in the arts, that's all.

He doesn't think that helping Mr. Zhu learn these knowledge will humiliate Mr. Zhu.

Similarly, Mr. Zhu is an open-minded teacher, and he will not be blamed for this.

In addition, the professional knowledge of educational psychology is obscure, and even some medical knowledge is involved. For old-fashioned literati like Mr. Zhu, it is really difficult to understand. Even if you know these principles, you still know why but don’t know why.

For example, Pavlov's dog, this experiment is talking about classical conditioning.

Meaning: At first, the dog will salivate when it sees food, and then add a neutral stimulus, such as a bell ringing. After a period of time, as long as the bell rings, the dog will salivate without touching the food.

"no need!"

Mr. Zhu shook his head and said, "Recently, I'm going to resign. I'm going to be the headmaster of a teacher's school... If I don't do it, I won't learn these things."

"Yes, sir."

After Bai Gui heard it, he nodded.

He didn't think it was because Mr. Zhu didn't want him to teach.But Mr. Zhu really wants to resign as the principal of the normal school, so he doesn't need to know so much about some things in educational psychology.

Besides, Mr. Zhu is old, and it is normal that he can't learn these things.

Reluctantly is not good.

Both know that the other is a gentleman.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

I don't think this kind of answer without much explanation will make the other party feel dissatisfied.

"I heard from Mr. Xu that he is organizing people to compile county chronicles recently. It happens that the students are still at home and know a little bit about compiling history books, so they plan to come here and recommend themselves. I wonder if you can agree?"

Bai Gui closed the book, put it on the tribute table, and asked softly.

"Oh, Meihe, you plan to compile the county chronicles, which...is a bit too condescending."

Mr. Zhu hesitated.

He knew that Bai Gui was talented, and being able to write the two masterpieces of The Great Qin Empire and Guns and Pao undoubtedly proved his ability to write history books. Moreover, Bai Gui was well-versed in poetry and books, and it was not difficult to learn from ancient scrolls.

But... he can do this because he is old.But Bai Gui can't do it, because Bai Gui is still young, and there are more things worth doing for him.

Give the time to the youth...,
And these old masters went to compile history books to make room.

This is the purpose of his resignation and choosing to compile the county annals!
It's not just because the government is in arrears with the teaching staff of the normal school for not paying their salaries. Money is a trivial matter. According to his reputation, he will have a bite to eat everywhere.

"It's not that I'm wronged, it's that I'm getting married recently and I can't get away..."

"Stay home and have nothing to do."

Bai Gui silently complained that his father, Bai Youde and Aunt Wang, fought all day long, their days were not leisurely, and their ears were about to grow calluses.

Just ran to White Deer Academy and stole half a day of leisure for the rest of my life.

Anyway, if you ride a horse in Bailu Academy...it is not too far from Bailu Village.

"Then... that's fine too."

Seeing that there was no reason to refuse, Mr. Zhu nodded and agreed.

He didn't agree, because he was afraid of delaying Bai Gui's affairs, and the revision of history would easily wear down the young man's heart and ambition.Everyone who compiled history in the past dynasties was either tired of the government and retired to hermitage, or they were idle jobs in the Imperial Academy to compile history...

For example, Sima Guang, who disagreed with Wang Anshi in the Shenzong Dynasty, was demoted and relegated to Luoyi for 15 years, during which time he devoted himself to writing history.

I have never seen a young man with great vigor and vitality, come to study history.

Writing historical novels and writing history are two different things.

The two then talked about some other things, most of which were Bai Gui's experience in Japan.

"It's a good thing that you plan to continue your studies abroad."

"Although I haven't been out of Qin Province for a long time, the current situation has changed too much. It's not a peaceful and prosperous time. Your writing books are much more powerful than your being an official..."

Mr Zhu said.

Bai Gui's reluctance to become an official coincides with his previous years, otherwise it would not be difficult to find an official position in his capacity, but he has a clear understanding of the world and knows that being an official is useless, so he chose to educate the village , to be a school teacher...

After failing to become a teacher in an academy, the teacher in a normal school will also fail to be a teacher, so let's compile the county annals!
From time to time, Mrs. Zhu Bai, the teacher's wife, prepared a meal.

The food is not rich, only a few steamed buns, some pickled vegetables, and white porridge.

But Zhu Bai's craftsmanship is very good, even though the food is simple, the taste is extremely delicious.

The most important thing is that this is the taste that Bai Gui is used to eating in Bailu Academy.

"It's late today, you should stay overnight in the academy."

"Tomorrow, you will go back."

"I've already made the bed for you."

Zhu Baishi said.

"Thank you Mistress."

Bai Gui has nothing to do.

Nights in Bailuyuan, especially in winter, are somewhat dangerous, not only the snow and ice on the road, but also some wild animals running down from the mountains looking for food.

Walk out of the living room and into the wing room.

Quietly.

Only Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu Bai were left in the White Deer Academy of Nuo Da, which seemed lonely.Mr. Zhu and Zhu Baishi have two children, one is Huairen and the other is Huaiyi. Both children are in their hometown and not in the academy.

The county-level normal school is not in Bailu Academy.

"The academy doesn't even have a door..."

Bai Gui folded his clothes and got on the kang, sighing.

Emotionally, he doesn't want White Deer Academy to be lonely, but this is the general trend, and the old school is bound to decline.For Yu Guo, the current new learning is better, and only the world can be saved.

Confucianism is no longer appropriate.

At least not now.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhu is an open-minded person who doesn't hold back.
