Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 728 Old and New Education

Qin Wangfu.

"Auntie, I'm going to school." Li Lizhi said hello to the woman at the door, and got into the carriage with a small schoolbag on her back.

Watching the carriage leave, Changsun returned home with a smile on his face.

As the carriage was driving on the road, Li Lizhi took out her books, reviewed what she learned yesterday, and previewed today's homework.Since she was a child, she knew that she was part of the royal family, and she was favored by His Majesty today, and she was rewarded generously. Now as she got older, she seemed to understand why His Majesty treated her so well.

But understanding is understanding, entanglement is still entanglement.Auntie Jinyang grew up with her, brotherly love, His Majesty the emperor is his own uncle, and mother...
Thinking of this, she closed the book with her small hands, resting her chin on both hands, with a melancholy expression on her face. Although Li Lizhi is young, she gradually opened up and became more and more beautiful. Like Princess Jinyang, she is one of the school beauties of Chang'an Middle School , Quite admired by noble children.

At this moment, the maid's voice sounded outside.

"Miss, is breakfast as usual today?"

Li Lizhi thought for a while and said, "Add another glass of juice."

"Yes."

Not long after, a breakfast was delivered to the carriage.

"Salty porridge and deep-fried dough sticks, hee hee." The little girl started to eat breakfast with a smile on her face.

People in the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of eating breakfast, but a certain emperor in the palace had the habit of getting up early and eating breakfast, and the ministers followed him to court. After a long time, it was inevitable that they would eat something to pad their stomachs like the emperor.

While the custom was passed on to the people, some breakfast styles in the palace were also passed on to the people.There is no need to mention the salty porridge, Tang people already know it.An additional type of breakfast style is finger pancakes, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, dumplings, and even fried noodles in soup, or fried rice with eggs.

With the large-scale planting of winter wheat and the popularity of various mills in workshops, wheat noodles are now being made more and more finely, without the need for the emperor's guidance. It was just an opening at the beginning to make hand-cooked cakes. The clever little head makes a lot of wheat and noodle meals.

There are also a variety of drinks, in addition to milk, goat milk, etc., there are also fruit and vegetable juices that have recently emerged.

In summer, there is ice cream.

As far as appetite is concerned, the rich and powerful children of Chang'an are very happy with it.At the same time, when a large number of small vendors who got up early went to the East and West Market to set up stalls, they sold a lot of things on the road.

If it weren't for the strict military control, there would have been a large number of small breakfast stalls at the gates of Chang'an primary and secondary schools.

After drinking the juice comfortably, Li Lizhi looked happy.

It's such a blessing to be able to eat in the morning.

Wubenfang.

Many luxury carriages were parked at the entrance of Chang'an Primary and Secondary School. Some were two brothers from a family, one was in middle school and the other was in elementary school, and some were brothers and sisters or sisters.Previously, Li Zhiyun was worried that the rich and powerful would not allow girls to stay in school, but he did not expect the situation to be completely opposite.

The number of female students did not decrease but increased after the middle school was divided into co-educational dormitories.Li Zhiyun didn't understand why at first, but he didn't figure it out until later.The main reason is that rich and powerful families have no shortage of gold and silver, so they will naturally try their best to raise their children.

Moreover, the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is not low nowadays, and there are some powerful ones who can take the initiative to divorce their husbands.

A woman who was born into a powerful family naturally didn't have to be busy with housework and livelihood early on.Learning more knowledge and making more friends in school is actually an excellent place for the rich and powerful.

As for embroidery?

Don't be ridiculous, the people of Tang Dynasty are martial arts, not to mention that Princess Pingyang is not dead yet, so not many girls think that they should stay in the boudoir and embroider.

Compared with female celebrities, traveling together and socializing are what they like best.Now whoever can become the most talented woman at the poetry meeting will be a real lady.

The carriage stopped, Li Lizhi stepped down lightly, and at a glance she saw Princess Jinyang standing not far away waving at her.

The two little sisters gathered together quickly, and after a while, a group of girlfriends gathered around them.

After entering the middle school gate, boys and girls are separated.

It has been six or seven years since primary and secondary schools were established in the eighth year of Wude, and the first batch of children who went to school have also entered middle school.Soon the first university students will appear among them.

In the past, although many people were envious of the teachers in Chang'an Primary and Secondary School, they doubted the educational methods of Chang'an Primary and Secondary School.Because this is completely different from the situation in which they manage books, some children of Shandong aristocratic families refused to enter Chang'an Primary and Secondary School because of this, and continued to choose the old way of learning.

As a result, it sparked a debate of sorts.Even, it spread to the court.For the old and new learning methods, the two sides quarreled fiercely.

In the end, the emperor made the decision, the exam!

Since you all feel that the old-fashioned education is better, then take the test, the test results will not lie.

Therefore, the representative of the old-style education and the representative of the new-style education jointly produced papers and jointly selected students to take the exam.

Well, the old study faction failed miserably!

The defeat was very miserable.

What is the old-fashioned education like?

Taking a book as the center, as the 'indication', this is called family study.For the rest of the scriptures, just take a look at them, no need to go deep.

There is a word saying; family history.

At present, especially in the Tang Dynasty when the aristocratic families were prosperous, the word "family learning" cannot be avoided.Although it is not like the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it is difficult to popularize knowledge to the bottom, but some really good books and precious books have always been treasured by aristocratic families.

For example, some families rule the theoretical books of Sang Hongyang, so they are good at breeding goods.The reason is simple, if you only focus on one aspect, you will naturally have experience and breakthroughs.But in comparison, their knowledge in other areas will be extremely weak.

Simply put, partial.

Facing the students of Chang'an primary and secondary schools who have studied extensively systematically, they are naturally not opponents.

why?

This means that Li Zhiyun borrowed the content of the learning method of later generations, that is, rote memorization.

As long as the school lists the learning content as the main subject, the students may not have their own experience, but they must be familiar with the understanding and annotations of the predecessors.

And this is also criticized by those who agree with the old way of learning.Because they feel that learning like this is not profound at all, and they can only learn superficially, which is really not a good way.

However, they have to agree with one thing, even if they are not talented students, under the education of Chang'an Primary and Secondary School, they will also become extremely knowledgeable.From literature to history to geography, almost everything is known.

In other words, the education method of Chang'an primary and secondary schools is comprehensive training, while the old learning method is elite training in a single department.

It is clear at a glance which is better and which is worse.

What's more, Li Zhiyun knows very well that when the university starts, the stubborn masters of aristocratic families will see the real "specialized elites".

The old-fashioned learning methods will also produce comprehensive talents, such as Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others.

However, is this often the case?
Very few, very few.Only a true genius can become the next Du Ruhui, or Fang Xuanling.

What Li Zhiyun wants is to change the education system of Datang, add more things about science and introduce new teaching content, instead of always grasping the theories of the predecessors and trying to figure it out.

With the widespread implementation of imperial examinations, many scholars have found that they seem to be 'ignorant'.

And the 'mathematics', which facilitates operations and calculations, is now a very advanced knowledge in the eyes of others.

Li Zhiyun didn't know what the future education direction of Datang would look like, but he knew the changes in his children.

They are already familiar with simple calculations, history, geography and other knowledge, and they can even draw a rough map of Guanzhong.

This knowledge will become their foundation when they enter university in the future and choose to specialize in a subject.
