The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 157 Principal Fang's Night Patrol (Part ) Don't Let Han Yu Run Away
The person in charge of teaching Class 6 is Mr. Wang, the old student who was forced to teach the senior high school students the cheating plan.

Mr. Wang started going to school when he was a teenager. Now he is in his fifties, almost sixty, and his hair and beard are all gray, but he has not yet passed the examination to become a scholar.

Of course, this does not affect the righteousness in his heart.

He never went to places like Liuxiagou (because he had no money), and he didn't like others to go there, especially those who were his students. Hearing his students talk about the dirty things of going to Liuxiagou so righteously, Wang Laotong's beard trembled with anger.

"This is a classroom, stop messing around!"

In fact, the clock outside had already struck ten o'clock, but they didn't hear it because it was too noisy inside.

Old student Wang was still knocking on the blackboard to get them to be quiet, and then he scolded them loudly: "You are originally displaced people. Now that you have the opportunity to enter the classroom, how can you complain about too much homework? The key to studying is diligence, and it is ruined by laziness. Han Da said long ago, "Skills come from diligence, play comes from idleness, success comes from thinking, and failure comes from carelessness"... "

"I don't want to listen! Old Man Wang is reciting scriptures!"

"Here you go again! You know we don't understand, but you still use these sour words. Teacher Wang, can you please speak more human language?"

"Who the hell is this Han Dajia? Why do you always pass messages on his behalf but he never comes?"

Before Wang Lao Tongsheng could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the people below. Someone asked him which descendant of Han Yu, one of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, was. Wang Lao Tongsheng liked Han Yu's articles the most, such as "On Teachers", "On Horses", "Spring Snow", "Listening to Master Ying Playing the Piano", etc. He had read them more than a hundred times. Naturally, he often quoted famous lines from them in his daily life.

Why didn't Han Dajia come himself? He wanted to come, but did he come?
Mr. Wang's cheek muscles twitched when he was asked this question.

He had no choice but to patiently explain to this bunch of rough drafts: "The name of Mr. Han is Han Yu, with the courtesy name Tuizhi, also known as Mr. Changli. He was a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, and many of his famous works have been handed down. The sentence I just said is quoted from [Explanation of Advancing Learning]. Students who are interested can find it and read it. This article is very helpful for those who are going to study."

Mr. Wang spoke sincerely and pointed out that Han Yu was a person from the Tang Dynasty...but the classroom suddenly went into an uproar.

"You bastard!" "How dare you!"

"Who the hell is he? How dare he have the same name as my young master!"

Their expressions were instantly very excited, and many of them stood up suddenly. Some of them cursed, and some loudly questioned Wang Laotongsheng, demanding that he provide Han Yu's home address.

"Don't you even know the rules of taboo? You call yourself a great writer, bah! You've read so much that you've become a dog!"

"Old man Wang! Do you know this Han? You knew that Han was using my son's name, but you didn't tell me until now. What on earth are you thinking?"

"We in Xincheng won't let him off. Tell us where Han lives now. I want to find him right now so he doesn't run away!"

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up! This is lawlessness, this is..."

This is what is called a mass indignation. Wang Laotongsheng was standing at the top and was completely confused at first. It was not until someone came up impatiently and forcibly dragged him to catch Han Yu that he reacted. "Avoid naming modern people, but not ancient people!"

"Mr. Han is an ancient man, two dynasties apart, and he has been dead for six hundred years! You...you guys, stop making trouble!"

Old Student Wang's face turned red, he stamped his feet and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Well, it seems that not only the people of Xincheng, but even Mr. Wang also thinks that people in this world should avoid the name of Fang Shen Zi. His dignity is certainly greater than that of the emperor. If the emperor has something, how can Fang Shen Zi not have it?
It took a long time for Old Scholar Wang to finally make these people understand the rules of avoiding taboos. However, some people were still indignant and believed that the young master should not be treated the same as the emperor. If the emperor had to avoid the taboos of present people, then the young master's name should also be avoided, no matter if they were from the current dynasty or the previous dynasty, dead or alive.

Of course, this is unreasonable.

You can't inspect all the tombstones in the world, let alone collect all the books and family trees in the world, and then tamper with the "inappropriate" parts, right? (Qing Dynasty Hanlin Academy: I don't understand, why not?)

After making a fuss for a while, they realized that the get out of class was over, but the homework had not been "discussed" yet, so they refused to let Mr. Wang go out. Some of them asked to write only thirty words like the class five next door. Some thought that homework was something to torture people, so why don't you be kind and exempt us from it?

Wang Laotongsheng was naturally unwilling. He started to mutter again: "Practicing calligraphy is also part of the class. Only by writing more can you remember it firmly in your mind. How can you write a word five times? When I was in the academy, I wrote a word fifty times in my mind and wrote it fifty times. Confucius said, 'Reviewing the old to learn the new, you can be a teacher.' It's not wrong to listen to the saints."

People with no knowledge in their heads usually have a bad habit: they are short on logic but long on emotion. In other words, when they lose a debate, they like to curse.

And when they curse someone, they always hit the person's most painful spot first.

"You failed the exam even after writing it fifty times, which means that listening to the saints is useless. If you listen less to them, you might pass the exam."

"Teacher Wang, I heard that Lord Liu, the Tongzhi of Yizhou, was your classmate? He is a sixth-rank official, a few years younger than you."

"What saintly words? You are here just for the 100 taels of cash prize. I didn't say that. Teacher Cai next door said that we worked so hard to write but got nothing in return. You got all the money. Teacher Wang, you are so good at calculating, why don't you become an accountant?"

"What's the point of doing this homework? Can it help me carry more loads of soil?"

Mr. Wang had a tense face and ignored those heartfelt words. He looked left and right in the crowd, trying to find a gap to go out... It was not that he wanted to escape, but the get out of class was over. Then he heard someone complaining that homework was useless, and suddenly he became very angry!

He shouted at the man in rapid succession, "How can you learn to read if you don't do your homework? How can you understand the words of the saints if you can't read? If you can't understand the words of the saints, how can you know the infinity of the universe, the great principles of the world, and the moral principles of human relations!"

Fang Yu had been listening outside for a while, and he knew that he should go in and save Mr. Wang.

Wang Lao Tongsheng had just seen him outside, and what he said was both a scolding to the student - the moral code of human relations includes respecting teachers and honoring morality, so what is the difference between not understanding the moral code of human relations and that? It was also a reminder to himself - if you don't learn the words of the saints, how can you understand the vastness of the universe and the principles of the world.
