Ji Tang

Chapter 686 The teacher said!

Ji Song asked three times, leaving everyone speechless for a moment.

What is a teacher?What kind of teacher is a qualified teacher?

Why do every teacher teach different students?

Some people attribute it to the fact that they have not met good students, and some students think that they have not met good teachers.

But it is undeniable that a good teacher can indeed make students learn twice the result with half the effort.A good student can also make a teacher happy.

But since ancient times, there has been no definition of what makes a good teacher.

"Ziyi believes that a teacher should teach people and solve their doubts!"

Ji Song did not let everyone wait, but directly revealed the essence of the teacher.

"Preaching, teaching, and solving doubts?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ji Song with admiration.

Yes, as a teacher, isn’t it just to teach students and solve their doubts?

It is insightful and summed up, which reveals the essence of a teacher.

"Not bad, not bad." Li Gang smiled while stroking his beard. He was relieved about Ji Song.

While achieving Ji Song, he also achieved himself.

This is a model of a good teacher and a good student. Although Li Gang didn't teach him much, he succeeded in laying a very solid foundation for Ji Song.

Maybe other people can do this, but compared to Li Gang's years of experience, Ji Song gradually accepted the traditional education of scholar-bureaucrats in this era, from the shallower to the deeper.

In addition, Ji Song comes from a later generation, and when the two are combined, they draw parallels and achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

"With this statement, Ji Ziyi will leave his name in history." Fang Xuanling sighed.

Although the others did not speak, they looked at Ji Song with complicated eyes.

Except for a few people on Xungui's side, everyone else didn't know how serious it was.

“It is said that a great teacher makes a great disciple, but are students necessarily inferior to their teachers?”

As soon as Ji Song said this, there was an uproar.

What is this for?Since ancient times, one has always served as a servant, and the status of a teacher is the same as that of a father.Ji Song is questioning this right now?
What does he want to do?
"Ziyi thought otherwise!"

Ji Song didn't care what everyone thought. Of course he knew that these words would definitely attract criticism.

But there are still some things that need to be said, and the reasoning is unclear. As for what people will say?

hehe!Will he care?

"Scholars in ancient times must have teachers. Teachers are the ones who teach and learn to solve doubts. People are not born with knowledge, so how can they be free from doubts? If you are confused and do not follow the teacher, you will be confused and you will not be able to understand it.

He was born before me, and he heard the Tao before me, and I learned from it; born after me, he heard the Tao also before me, and I learned from it.

My teacher, do you know who was born to me one year or another?Therefore, there is neither high nor low, neither long nor short. Where the Tao exists, the teacher exists. "

"The sage has a saying: When three people are walking together, there must be me as their teacher."

"Sigh! It's been a long time since the teachings of teachers were passed on! It's hard to keep people from confusion! The saints of ancient times were far away from others, and they still asked if they were followers. Today's people are also far away from the saints. Yes, it is shameful to learn from a teacher.

Therefore, the saint will benefit the saint, and the fool will benefit the fool.Is this why saints are saints and fools are fools?If you love your son, you will choose a teacher and teach him; if you are concerned about your son, you will be ashamed of the teacher and confused.The teacher of the boy, who teaches the book and then learns its sentences, is not what I call someone who teaches his way and solves his confusion.I don't know how to read a sentence, I don't understand it when I'm confused, maybe it's a teacher's fault, or maybe it's not a good idea.

A man of witchcraft, medicine, music, and craftsmanship, he is not ashamed to be a physiognomist.The clan of scholar-bureaucrats would gather together and laugh at those who said "master" or "disciple".

When asked, he said: "He is similar to that year, and the Tao is similar. A low position is shameful, and a high official is close to flattery."

Alas!It can be seen that the teacher's way is no longer restored.Gentlemen despise a man who is a man of witchcraft, medicine, music and craftsmanship, but now his wisdom is beyond his reach. How strange that is! "

"A sage has no permanent teacher. Confucius taught Tanzi, Changhong, Shixiang, and Laodan. Tanzi's disciples are not as good as Confucius. Confucius said: If three people walk together, there must be my teacher. Therefore, disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to. Virtuous to disciples, there is a priority in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in art, that's all!"

Quiet, too quiet.

How long has it been since, how long has it been since such a wonderful article was published?

Li Shimin stood up and looked at Ji Song below. He was still so calm and smiling, as if this article was just said casually.

This is not a prepared article because there was simply no time to prepare.

Even if it was prepared in advance, it would be shocking to be able to write such an article in just three days.

'Disciples don't have to be inferior to their teachers, and teachers don't have to be better than their disciples. There is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in skills, that's all! '

Yes, that’s all!

Who is this mocking?hehe!Seeing the dark faces on the other side of the family, he almost wanted to laugh out loud.

Aren't you high and mighty?Don’t you want to monopolize books?Don’t you want to take over the government?
Okay, now, once this article comes out, what will your people who rely on teachers, students, and disciples to maintain relationships think?
The article discusses the principle of studying from a teacher, satirizes the worldly situation of being ashamed of fortune-tellers, educates young people, and plays a role in changing the atmosphere.

The article lists positive and negative examples, compares them layer by layer, demonstrates repeatedly, discusses the necessity and principles of learning from teachers, criticizes the current bad habit of "shy of learning from teachers", shows extraordinary courage and fighting spirit, and also shows its disregard for The spirit of expressing one's own opinions independently from the secular world.

However, isn't it a bit too high-profile to be a "witch doctor with hundreds of skills"?

But it’s right to think about it. Both craftsmen and doctors are very useful knowledge, but since Dong Zhongshu dismissed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, he has become a low-level role.

He knew that Ji Song intended to promote "the witch doctor and all the craftsmen". His political strategy can be seen from the Xuanzhou incident, and the shadow of craftsmen and others can always be seen.

Iron smelting, mining, rice paper, improving the welfare of craftsmen and ensuring their relative independence are on par with farmers!

However, he didn't want to say anything about this, nor did he want to stop it.

He is an emperor, but he is not a believer in Confucianism. As long as it is useful to the country and can benefit the people, he will support it!
The members of the aristocratic family wanted to say something, but when they saw the students who were already excited and the emperor's vague warning, they all stopped.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, why is there such a monster!

It should not have been allowed to grow in the first place, and it is too late to suppress it now.

He was successful and had the trust of the emperor and the prince. In addition, his legitimate son was the husband-in-law of the crown prince's legitimate daughter.There is no chance of Ji's decline within at least three generations.

Now that the Ji family is no longer the original Ji family, the Zheng family has completely formed an alliance with the Ji family, and with the Jiangdong family waving flags and shouting, they are not internally stable, so how can they fight with others?

The Ji family and the Zheng family are both descendants of the pre-Qin princes, and they are also direct descendants of the Zhou Dynasty with their roots in Miaohong.It’s no surprise that they can join forces!
Ji Song even built the First Academy of the Tang Dynasty. If he continued to control it, he might even arouse the emperor's suspicion.

But it would be better for him to directly give His Majesty the title of Dean of the Academy, remove himself, and no longer specifically manage the affairs of the Academy.

He was born in the Marquis of Wu and took root in the army. Many of Ji's children have already entered the army to gain experience.

How can they fight with all this?
