Capital Datang

There are not many people in the primary school, there are more than 30 students, plus two bachelors and two school clerks, the total number of students is less than 40.Here are all kids under the age of ten, Li Yin, who is already 14 years old, walks among them, he really feels like he stands out from the crowd.The little guys around also looked at this 'big classmate' very curiously, and a few naughty ones even came to ask Li Yin if he went to the wrong place?Li Yin was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall.

The classrooms of the elementary school are very spacious. When entering the door, there are rows of individual low desks. Students have to kneel and sit behind the desks when studying.Li Yin found a desk in the corner and sat down for a try, and found that it felt okay, after all, his body had already adapted to this kind of kneeling.

"Sixth brother, didn't you expect you to be so early? I haven't come yet to thank you for the matter of the queen mother!" Just as Li Yin was about to pick up the book on the table and read it, a xx-year-old young lady ran to him Sit down next to him.Li Yin knew him, he just met yesterday, this little guy is his ninth younger brother, that is, later Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

"Oh, pheasant slave, the queen mother is the queen mother of all of us, what did our brothers say to thank you?" Li Yin patted him on the shoulder and said righteously, pheasant slave is Li Zhi's nickname.Regardless of whether this Li Zhi will ascend to the throne in the future, it is necessary to establish a good relationship now.

"Hehe, Brother Six is ​​right, so I won't give this piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Brother Six." A small head protruded from Li Zhi's back and said, with a round face and big eyes full of laughter expression.Capital Datang 8

"You...why did you bring Sizi too?" Li Yin stretched out his finger to Li Zhi in shock and said, the three-year-old Sizi who came out from behind Li Zhi was currently gnawing on his hand with a face full of scum The last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Seeing the mischievous look of the little son, Li Zhi couldn't help but said with a bitter face: "Sixth brother, you can't blame me, since the mother's mother fell ill, there is no one to take care of the son. I usually play with her, but I If you come to study, you can’t bring her here. Yesterday, my father asked Sixth Brother to come here to study, and my son made a fuss and wanted to come, but my father couldn’t persuade her, so I had to agree.”

I'm dizzy!When Li Yin heard that Si Zi came here because of him, he immediately had a headache.Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open, the upper class still valued the protection of men and women. Women were not allowed to study with men. Princesses were generally educated by their mothers or special court ladies.But now it's a good thing, his emperor's father actually agreed to let Sizi come to school here, isn't this really doting on this little princess?

"I want to sit with Sixth Brother, Ninth Brother, sit in front of me!" Sizi said after finishing eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, wiping his hands on Li Zhi's body.It can be seen that Li Zhi dotes on his younger sister very much, he squeezed her little face and gave the seat to Si Zi.

"Brother Six, is your injury healed?"

"Brother Six, do you really not know how to read?"

"Sixth brother, can you take me to play, is it suffocated in the palace?"

"Sixth brother..."

The little girl hasn't stopped since she sat down, one question after another came out of her little mouth, which made Li Yin tired of coping.Fortunately, the master came in at this time. Although the little girl was naughty, she knew the etiquette very well, and finally closed her chattering little mouth.

Li Yin has already inquired. The old master who gave the lecture was surnamed Kong, and his name was Kong Yingxue. He was from the Confucian family in Qufu, Shandong. He was a cousin of Kong Yingda, one of the [-] bachelors. old pedant.

The primary school curriculum is very simple. You read in the morning and practice calligraphy in the afternoon. Those who are new to school start with Thousand Characters, and then learn Sima Xiangru's "Fan Jiang", Cai Yong's "Encouraging Learning" and so on, until the age of ten. After graduation, transfer to Chongwenguan or Hongwenguan for secondary and higher education.

Schools or private schools in this era are not divided into classes, all students are studying together, and each student's learning progress is different, which also results in a teacher with a limited number of students, Li Yin and the others are like this here Condition.

The old master Confucius first learned about the academic progress of the students one by one, and then delimited the content to be studied today, let them familiarize themselves first, and he would explain them one by one after a while. , As for these two 'special' students, His Majesty Taizong had already informed him before, and now he is having a headache as to how to teach them.

"Both Your Highnesses are already literate, right?" Old Master Kong walked up to Li Yin and Si Zi with a ruler in his hand and asked expressionlessly. The ruler in his hand is not just for show. Princes and nobles, but if anyone makes a mistake, they can still hit him, and there is no place to file a complaint.

"Literate, literate! Sizi already knows..." The little girl calculated with her fingers, and found that her fingers were not enough, so she opened her hands and said crisply, "Sizi knows so many characters, even the emperor praises Sizi." Clever!" The little girl looked proud. The children of the royal family were taught by their mothers to read and write before they went to school. Known as amnesia, that's why Confucius asked them if they could read or not.

"Cough~, master, you also know that I suffer from soul-loss disease, and now I don't know most of the characters, so..." Li Yin said with a blushing face, even a three-year-old child can read more than him, No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't bear it!

"Well, both Your Highnesses have some basics, so let's start with Thousand Characters, and learn to read as you go. Now follow me and read a sentence." Confucius thought for a while, and then made up his mind.

Thousand-Character Classic has four characters and one sentence, and it rhymes very well. It is catchy to read. It is called "San, Bai, Qian" together with the hundred surnames and San Zi Jing that appeared in later generations. It is the standard enlightenment reading for ancient children.

Probably because he was afraid that Li Yin and Si would not be able to remember, the old master Confucius taught four lines and sixteen characters in total, and asked them to copy them several times after they read them well. As for the literal meaning, he did not force him to explain it later when he had time.This made Li Yin very speechless. It seems that this old master really treated himself as a three-year-old child.Capital Datang 8

Li Yin dare not say anything else, but he has read the Thousand-Character Classic, Hundred-Character Surnames, and Three-Character Classic since he was a child. It may be a bit exaggerated to memorize it backwards, but it is absolutely no problem to memorize it straight. All of these are thanks to his grandfather in the previous life.In the previous life, Li Yin's ancestors were landlords. I heard that one of his ancestors passed the Jinshi examination. Li Yin's grandfather was educated in an authentic feudal private school when he was a child.

The old man usually lives in the country. Once Li Yin's father took him to see the old man. At that time, Li Yin was just in primary school.The old man was very happy to see his eldest grandson, and asked him what he had learned in school. As a result, when the old man heard that Li Yin hadn't learned three, one hundred, one thousand, he was immediately furious.In the minds of the old people, how can children go to school without learning the three hundred thousand left by their ancestors. This is the most authentic enlightenment education, and Li Yin's father was criticized for this.

At that moment, the old man made a decision: Since your school doesn't teach it, then I will teach it myself.Regardless of his old age, the old man rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a few broken books, and began to teach them from the Three Character Classic.As a result, almost all the winter and summer vacations of Li Yin Elementary School were spent at the grandpa’s house in the countryside. Unfortunately, the old man died just after teaching the Thousand-Character Classic. Before leaving, Li Yin had to recite the Thousand-Character Classic. The sound of reciting went like this, and every time Li Yin thought of this, his nose felt sore.

After the old man passed away, Li Yin's academic pressure began to increase, so the study of ancient Chinese was abandoned, but he did not forget the three books of the Thousand Characters, Hundred Character Surnames, and Three Character Classics. Whenever he thought of the old man, he I would memorize a few paragraphs, and every year when I went to see the old man in Qingming, I would recite it in front of his grave.

It would be great if I could learn calligraphy from the old man back then, even if it was to lay a foundation?Li Yin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.At that time, the old man was afraid of delaying Li Yin's normal studies. Except for reciting and understanding the meaning of the content in the book, he was not taught anything else. As for being so embarrassed.

After the old master left, Li Yin flipped through the book. Although the traditional characters on it were unfamiliar, he had already memorized them by heart, so he could guess what the characters were.The Thousand-Character Classic was written by Zhou Xingsi of the Southern Dynasty, and there is no repetition of a thousand characters in the whole book. However, I heard that someone found repeated characters. Li Yin is not very clear about this.

Li Yin read a few sentences in boredom and then gave up. He took a peek at the little girl and found that the little girl was reciting very seriously, shaking her head like that. The flowers of the motherland crawling forward under the exam-oriented education.It's time to play around at a young age, isn't it too wasteful to read every day?

Thinking of this, Li Yin had an idea. Seeing that the old master didn't pay attention to this side, he picked up the paper on the table and folded it. After a while, a beautiful paper crane appeared in his hand, and then gently threw it to the little girl.

The serious little girl who was reading was stunned for a moment, but when she saw the exquisite paper crane, her face immediately burst into joy, she picked it up and looked left and right, she couldn't put it down, as for the book, she had already thrown it away.With the rise of Li Yin's play, paper frogs, paper rings, paper lilies and other small things emerge in endlessly. He has folded six or seven kinds of paper airplanes, but unfortunately he can't test them now.

The little girl was attracted by all kinds of origami in Li Yin's hands. Li Yin was snatched away by the little girl as soon as he folded one piece. Sizi was also very curious about the exquisite origami in his hand, wanting it but not daring to have it, so he could only look at it eagerly. . ..
