The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 9 Calligraphy
When modern people mention scholars, they always look contemptuously, thinking that they are old masters who have never learned from the past, rigid-minded old and stubborn, who can only memorize the Four Books and Five Classics mechanically.

The label is "poor and sour"!
Because a scholar is at the lowest end of fame!

I can't pass the exam in my life!

Look pathetic!

Juren can go to the Ministry of Officials to report for vacancies, and Jinshi directly appoints officials. This Juren and Jinshi can scold, but I always feel that I don’t have enough confidence in my heart...

But in fact, since Manqin entered the customs, a total of 260 years, the total number of children is about 200 million to 300 million, and there are only 46 scholars!

It can be said that becoming a scholar has already defeated 90.00% of the people in the country.

Pu Songling, who wrote "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", was also a scholar in the Qing Dynasty.
Year-old Gongsheng is a scholar who has excellent grades and can enter the Imperial College to study.

Feng Menglong, who wrote "Words to warn the world", was a young high school scholar, but after repeated trials, he also became a Gongsheng student and entered the Imperial College to study...

In "Knowledge", Sun Xiucai, Shulan's ex-husband, had a poor and poor family. After he was selected as a scholar, Uncle Sheng's family rushed to marry his daughter. The dowry was rich in land, shop, house, servants, etc.

Although Xu Xiucai is just a scholar, he has profound knowledge, at least in terms of Chinese studies, which is not comparable to ordinary university professors in later generations.

"Students want to be taught!"

Zhou Yuanyou was like a servant boy, holding the open scroll in both hands, leaning over to listen, extremely respectful, after Xu Xiucai solved his doubts, he gave a deep bow, sat down again, and continued to read the book.

"What's your problem?"

Only then did Xu Xiucai look back and look at Bai Gui who was waiting aside.

There was a look of satisfaction in the corners of his eyes.

In the past, when he was teaching other children, some ignorant children who had just entered school and were not well-educated in etiquette would often interrupt him and ask questions first, which made him very unhappy.

Now that a child from Zhili has just entered school, he feels at ease.

"Returning to Mr., I don't know how to use a pen. I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the tasks assigned by my husband on time. Please teach me."

Bai Gui slightly bowed.

If he said to ask my master to teach me how to use a pen, although he could do it, he would be inferior. Although Tao Xingzhi has not implemented the system of junior students, in the school the older students who have been taught early teach the newcomers. It's commonplace.

(Primary teacher system: It is a method introduced by Tao Xingzhi in the Shanhai Engineering Academy in 1932. As the name suggests, it is used in children's education to teach children who are older, and teach those who can't. It is also to deal with the dilemma of lack of teachers in education. Tao Xingzhi also regarded the primary school student system as an effective means to popularize education and "break through the teacher barrier". Tao Xingzhi was also a disciple of Dewey.)
After all, sir can get bored too.

In the same way, knowledge can be consolidated by being taught by the older Mengtong.

but……

This is for the popularity of education and the convenience of teachers, but it is not so friendly to children who are being taught.

If there is a mistake, it will take twice as much effort to make up for it in the follow-up.

Hearing this, Xu Xiucai's face softened.

This sentence is quite useful. He is a good student who is filial and enterprising.

"You come with me."

Xu Xiucai walked to Bai Gui's desk and stool, picked up a brush, dipped it in clear water, and said softly, "Everyone who learns calligraphy must first write. Today I will teach you the five-finger writing method. The so-called five-finger writing method is to use each finger Pressing, pressing, hooking, grid, and arrival make the writing brush..."

But if you want to get good fame, words are the most important thing.

In his previous life, when he took the college entrance examination, because the composition was scribbled throughout, he devoted himself to practicing calligraphy with hard-tipped pens in January. In the college entrance examination, he scored [-] points more than usual in Chinese, which is equivalent to one and a half math courses. question.

So it should be in this world.

During the Qianlong period, a minister wrote a letter saying that the three characters "Zhigongtang" on the plaque in the main hall of Shuntianfu Township Examination Gongyuan were written by Yan Song.How could Yan Song's handwriting be tolerated in a majestic place like the Gongyuan, which selects talents for the country.But Qianlong ordered the civil and military writing of the Manchu Dynasty, and his own writing was not as good as Yan Song's handwriting. In the end, he could only sigh and let Yan Song's handwriting continue to hang on it.

Guochao emphasizes characters, which has always been the case.

There are roll noodles in this life and previous life, so the words are like the person, so you must pay attention!

Xu Xiucai carefully explained how to hold the brush with five fingers one by one, and demonstrated it to Bai Gui three or four times, and then asked him to hold the brush by himself, and then guide him when he was moving the brush.

Then he explained several essentials of calligraphy.

Fingers firm—hold the pen with strength, the outer four fingers are close to each other, the knuckles are outward, dense but not loose.The joint in the middle of the inner thumb protrudes outward, and the tiger's mouth is round like a stirrup.In this way, the five fingers work together to hold the pen firmly and powerfully, and it is also conducive to the movement of the pen, with moderate elasticity.

There are also palm empty, palm vertical, wrist flat, tube straight, etc. described one by one.

"Well... you're good at learning, you have strong muscles and bones, and you are very suitable for practicing facial features. There are also a few copying inscriptions by Yan Lugong (Yan Zhenqing) as a teacher. You have mastered these characters. I can give it to you as a teacher. .”

Xu Xiucai glanced at Bai Gui's hand and praised.

Practicing calligraphy also has its suitability and inappropriateness. For example, women who are weak in strength can learn teeny lowercase script or elegant Liu style, while people like Lei Baigui who have strong finger joints and bones are most suitable for vigorous and powerful facial features.

The copied inscriptions are not expensive. In the forest of steles in the provincial capital, there are inscriptions by calligraphers of past dynasties, and the categories are the most complete.

Just like Yan Zhenqing's Duobao Pagoda stele, you only need to move your feet to copy it.

Things that are beneficial but not expensive can also give students an incentive.

"Mr. Xie!" Bai Gui bowed to see Xu Xiucai get up and leave.

Until then, a morning school is over.

The schoolchildren who recited the Wenshu breathed a long sigh of relief, and it would be great to invite their companions out to play in the snow, or go out to breathe some fresh air.There is a brazier in the school, which is warm but also a bit dull.

"Brother Gui, let's go out and play with you guys."

Brother Lu also closed the book and said with a smile.

In the past, they were the last to go out to play, but today is a little different. In class, Lu Zhaoqian was a little bit annoyed by Bai Gui. They have a good relationship with Lu Zhaoqian, and they can't be partial to each other, so they went out this time to take advantage of this leisure time. Time to ease the relationship between the two is also good.

"No, sir just taught me how to write, I have to learn, I'm afraid I'll forget."

Bai Gui smiled distantly.

The time just after class is used to review knowledge is the most effective.According to the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, within an hour, the speed of knowledge forgetting is the fastest.

If you study at other times, you will be discounted.

He practiced brush writing is still short, thinking of Xu Xiucai's teachings in his head, these experiences and knowledge are extremely valuable, he must not be sloppy, this time he can use an excuse to complete the dictation task to ask Xu Xiucai to teach writing in person, what about next time?

If there is a next time, Xu Xiucai will probably shirk it to other students and let them teach.

Moreover, this time was also the time to impress Xu Xiucai.

Like the first bucket of gold, don't throw it lightly.

In addition, the Lu brothers are his main family, he is very cautious when playing with them, what's the point of playing with half-grown boys.

　Ask for a ticket!It has already signed a contract, and it is estimated that the status will be changed in these two days. Those who have not invested will do so as soon as possible.
