Chapter 1172 Academy Magazine
Lin Yanchao was no longer sleepy and sat up from a cold chair and walked in the yard. It was June 18th year of Wanli. He had been resigning for more than a year. According to historical calculations, Shen Shixing's resignation was immediately in front of him. Even if he helped him clear up many censor elbows, he could be longer than in history, but in terms of the current situation, it would not be much longer.
Once Shen Shixing retreats, it will be really difficult for him to come back.
Not to mention Japan on the other end of the sea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had already revealed his ambition to embezzle the Ming Dynasty.
However, the entire Ming Dynasty still lacked understanding of this Hei Hideyoshi. He heard that some officials believed that he was an islander on the coast of Fujian, and then fled to Japan and ascended to the throne.
Faced with the increasingly closer battle of invading North Korea, Lin Yanchao was unemployed at home and it was indeed unreasonable to continue to keep his life alone.
But Lin Yanchao knew that he had no hassle at all at this moment.
The country moves forward like a carriage, relying on inertia. So far, officials from all over the country have relied on inertia to do things. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have been encountered before. Relying on the way of ancestors, the problem can be solved. There is no need to break out of this circle.
As for whether the world has become different from the original one?
After ten years of popularizing Yixue in Beijing, nearly 20% of the population in the capital can read and read.
The increase in the literacy population is very beneficial.
For example, newspapers, the best-selling Xinmin Daily, the world's best-selling newspaper, told him last month that it had just exceeded 8,000 copies, far exceeding the Yanjing Times.
Even if you are illiterate, people can still listen to what the newspaper says today through teahouses that can be seen everywhere on the street.
If you want to reform first, you must first enlighten the people's wisdom. Of course, there must be officials in the court.
Among his students, Sun Chengzong was promoted to the lecturer, while Guo Zhengyu was transferred to Henan for several months and was promoted to the third rank.
After Lin Yanchao left Beijing, he had read all the copies of the "Xinmin Daily" run by Sun Chengzong. It should be said that after he left Beijing, Sun Chengzong took over his banner and always had the purpose of running a newspaper.
However, Sun Chengzong was promoted to the post of the Central Committee because of the order, and Lin Yanchao was a little confused about the emperor's meaning.
Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao put on a dress.
Lin Qianqian asked, "Where are you going so late?"
Lin Yanchao said: "Go to the academy."
"I came back early, there was sour plum soup in the kitchen."
Lin Yanchao nodded and walked out the door. When he arrived at the academy, the academy had already been locked. At night, the academy did not allow students to go out to avoid disturbing the students' desire for learning.
So when the door opened the door for Lin Yanchao, Lin Yanchao came directly to Xu Zhenming's residence.
But I saw that the lights were still on in Xu Zhenming's study.
After Lin Yanchao knocked on the door, Xu Zhenming was surprised when he opened the door: "Isn't you sleeping even if you're so late?"
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Didn't you not sleep?"
The two entered the room, but saw Xu Zhenming drafting a lecture notes for tomorrow's lecture.
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "The academy has been in operation for several months. In addition to the lectures, I have another idea. Other academies have organized collections of essays to include students' articles. For example, there is a collection of leisure cursive works in Lianjiang Academy, so I plan to run one in our academy."
Xu Zhenming smiled and said, "I had this idea for a long time. It was just that the academy was created and there were many things, so I didn't mention it to the mountain leader for a while."
Lin Yanchao said: "I plan to run this collection differently from other academies. It is somewhat imitating the Xinmin Daily, but it is more content than Xinmin Daily. However, it is not two issues per month, but two issues per month."
Xu Zhenming said with a oh, thinking for a while and asked, "When Xu was in the capital, he liked the Xinmin Daily, which was run by the mountain chief, but rather than running a collection of essays, the academy would rather be directly made into a newspaper, which would not be more convenient."
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Brother Rudong doesn't know that the court's ban is still there. Even if our academy is in Fujian, it is not easy to break this example. This will lead to dissatisfaction. At the same time, our provincial capital is not as good as the capital. After all, there are not so many people who read and read, and the people are not as wealthy as the capital. Therefore, after thinking about it, this collection is the best. Of course, this collection can be said and discussed. I plan to change the name and call it a magazine."
Xu Zhenming nodded and said, "Magazine, good name, good!"
After pausing, Xu Zhenming said: "Since you are called a magazine, you can talk about everything, but you still have to have an original intention."
Lin Yanchao said happily: "Brother Rudong said very well. Back then, I chatted with Gu Xiancheng, the head of the Ministry of Personnel. He had a saying: "
The official chariot is not in the king and father, the official throne is not in the people's livelihood, living by the water and under the forest, the ambition is not in the world, and the gentleman has no choice but to take it'."
"Who are you and I living by the water and under the forest now? Where is the world we aspire to? Running a college is to teach and educate people and cultivate useful talents for the court. But thinking more profoundly is to open up the wisdom of the people and teach the learning of every young sage who is determined to learn. Opening up the wisdom of the people is to young people. If the young people are wise, the Chinese will be wise, and if the young people are strong, the Chinese will be strong."
Xu Zhenming nodded, which was a famous line from "Youth China" written by Lin Yanchao.
"So I plan to name this magazine "Youth Magazine" to open up people's wisdom and focus on youth. This is my original intention and proposition to run this magazine."
Xu Zhenming bowed and said, "The mountain chief is really foresighted and wants to be ahead of me in everything."
Lin Yanchao said: "I dare not take it. Rudong is working hard to handle the main affairs of the academy. It is said that Lin, the mountain leader, is really nameless, so he has to think about these useless things."
"In Xu's opinion, this useless thing is where the pattern and vision lies."
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "The idea of establishing righteousness is to be focused on the importance of being more important and more appropriate, just like people tend to learn. It is never too late to study, but it is best to read when you are young. The longer you read, the greater the benefits. This is how it advocates establishing righteousness."
"As for running newspapers and magazines, academies are different from promoting Yixue. This works very quickly. In one or two years, the academies can achieve success in three to five years. However, Lin has always been afraid that he is very greedy and intervenes to get things done, so he dare not do it himself. Therefore, Lin is really grateful for his ability to be managed by Brother Rudong."
Xu Zhenming stood up and said, "The mountain chief is so serious. Since you supported me to reclaim paddy fields in Beijing to dry fields, plant sweet potatoes and corn, Xu knew that the mountain chief was a natural talent. Only by following the mountain chief could Xu have the opportunity to make a fortune."
"Hey, it's a pity that Brother Rudong's success in the cultivation of several years has been cheaper than Li Sancai! I'm really sorry for you in this matter."
Xu Zhenming laughed and said, "Does the mountain leader think Xu only have this kind of vision? His merits and demerits, mistakes, right, right, what you say, I don't say, and the court doesn't say, and he will comment from later generations that he will be fair in history. So if Xu doesn't care about himself, why should the mountain leader care about Xu? This is how he thinks that Xu is too despised."
Lin Yanchao nodded. He kept this matter in his heart for a long time, and only found an opportunity to say it to Xu Zhenming today. But Xu Zhenming's words made the stone in his heart fall.
The two chatted for a long time that night, and they were all about running magazines, and they talked for a long time from all the details to the candidates.
The academy's printing of books, magazines and magazines have natural advantages. For Lin Yanchao's Aofeng Academy, the daily income from school and the sponsorship of gentry have made it impossible to use the money in the academy.
Therefore, the "Youth Magazine" was successfully handled, which became a practical thing Lin Yanchao did.
Lin Yanchao didn't know that when he was running a college and magazine, this incident spread to Gu Xiancheng, who was in Wuxi and also unemployed in his hometown.
Gu Xiancheng highly praised Lin Yanchao's move, so he also planned to follow Lin Yanchao's move to teach and run academy.
So one day, Gu Xiancheng's student was traveling to the eastern suburbs of Wuxi with the magistrate of Wuxi, while Gu Xiancheng was in a state of worry, Gao Panlong discovered a place that could be used as a study place, thinking that he could learn from two or three friends.
At that time, Gao Panlong had no idea of opening a college, but just thought that this was a place where you could read.
So after returning, Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng talked about this. Gu Xiancheng was still sick at that time, but there was something in his heart. He was inspired by Lin Yanchao's college in Fujian. When he heard that Gao Panlong had found a place to study, he immediately fell from his sickbed. The two came to the reading place to study in the east of the city.
Gu Xiancheng looked at this place and it turned out to be the place where Cheng Yi's high-level football master Yang Shi taught in Wuxi. Yang Shi saw this place here in Bodu Port in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Linqingliu is a good place to teach in front of him.
So Yang Shi gave lectures here for a total of eighteen years. After his death, his students built a Daonan Temple here as a memory.
This southern temple originated from when Yang Shicheng bid farewell to Cheng Yi and returned home. Cheng Yi looked at the students' backs and happily said, "I'm going to be south."
So Gu Xiancheng sighed when he saw the disrepair of Daonan Temple. He planned to run a college here, so he used his connections to mobilize local gentry. The Wuxi County Magistrate also strongly supported Gu Xiancheng's school run.
Not long after, a new academy was built on the site where Yang Shi gave lectures, and the academy was named "Donglin Academy".
In another time and space, Donglin Academy was built by Gu Xiancheng in the 23rd year of Wanli, but now it is established in advance due to the influence of Lin Yanchao.
Different from a few years later, the only one who advocated Donglin Academy was Gu Xiancheng and Gao Panlong, which was the 18th year of Wanli, which seemed ordinary but not ordinary. Lin Yanchao and Gu Xiancheng were in the south and the other opened academy at the same time. This was also criticized by the political enemies of the two later generations as the beginning of "the Qing Dynasty discussion did not come from the temple, but from the scholars."
However, this is accusation of Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao has never discussed politics in the academy and criticized the current problems.
On the contrary, Gu Xiancheng is in this industry.
Donglin Academy has two major purposes: one is to restore the authenticity of Neo-Confucianism and respect Zhu Zi's studies. Gu Xiancheng believed that Wang's studies and Linxue were both the last-rate studies. He criticized the study of mind for being too important to enlightenment and not to practice physically, and criticized Linxue for being too utilitarian. It is better for those who are wise to hear it, but it is not used by scholars to correct their minds and the door to begin with.
Of course, Gu Xiancheng's words are also very insightful. The students influenced by him all have first-class ideas, believing that Wang Xuelin Xue has corrupted the hearts of the world and not for the sake of authentic Confucians. Of course, as a famous scholar, Gu Xiancheng, is not a brainwashing education method. The students of the academy occasionally learn Wang Xue and Lin Xue, but they all learn it for criticism.
The second purpose is to speak politics. Gu Xiancheng and Gu Yuncheng both learned from his famous scholar Xue Yingqi.
Xue Yingqi's knowledge was definitely a great scholar of that era. He learned Wang Xue when he was young, but when he was old, he felt that only Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism were the great way, so he returned to the ranks of Neo-Confucianism.
He had a great influence on Gu Xiancheng and Gu Yuncheng, especially his proposal, "In ancient times, there were no officials to advise him, and he used the public opinion of the world to send people in the world to speak out by the people in the world, which was a prosperous one."
This sentence developed into Gu Xiancheng's hands, "The sound of wind and rain are heard, and the sound of reading is in my ears, and family affairs are concerned about everything in the world."
The implication of this sentence is that students of Donglin Academy should be concerned about both reading and family affairs, and also care about the country and the country's affairs.
After Gu Xiancheng took over Donglin Academy, he advocated the academy disciples to make friends, and at the same time advocated lectures. Anyone who could attend the lectures at Donglin Academy could attend.
Lin Yanchao's Aofeng Academy lecture was mainly about raising a proposition, allowing students to divide them into two parties to debate with each other, and allowing students to understand what the only way is.
But the lecture at Donglin Academy not only explores the essence, but also speaks and politics.
For example, when lectures at Aofeng Academy, sometimes the academy disciples clearly agreed with Confucianism, but they were often drawn to the Legalists and had to defend the Legalists for the defense.
But Donglin Academy is different. Gu Xiancheng advocates that scholars are practicing verbally and that they are consistent in their words and deeds. What you said at the lecture meeting, you should do things from what you say in the future.
At the same time, Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong and others often go to lectures at lectures and tell students about their opinions and political views.
Of course, Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong and even Zhao Nanxing have similar political views. In short, they are the official struggle factions.
What is the official struggle faction? It means dividing officials into two categories: villains and gentlemen. Gentlemen are in a similar mood and support each other. At the same time, they believe that the accumulated corruption in the court is caused by the corruption of the administration and must be checked in the selection of officials.
As long as there are gentlemen in the court and all villains are gone, the current ills can be eliminated and politics will naturally become clear.
At the same time, as an official, you must try your best to persuade the emperor that even if you are dismissed from office, it is nothing. Scholars in the world will stand on your side.
This statement has been recognized by many scholars because such thinking is very simple. Scholars do not need to know much about the political affairs of the country, but can't they tell the difference between the good and bad of officials?
A moral person is a good official.
What is morality, honest officials, able to advise the emperor, and dare to criticize ministers is a good official. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that officials who made political shows frequently appear in the late Ming Dynasty.
As for Lin Xue's way of judging officials based on political achievements, of course it is a wrong way.
In this way, Donglin Academy and Aofeng Academy each represent Lin Yanchao and Gu Xiancheng, and the students they trained were also completely different.
Gu Xiancheng cared more about allowing scholars all over the world to support his political propositions, while Lin Yanchao cared more about the fact that scholars could accept his doctrines and use the meaning of the scriptures to enlighten the wisdom of the people, so that national policies can be determined based on the meaning of the scriptures.
At the same time, an imperial edict also arrived at the marquis.
