Chapter 21 Reputation
The emergence of Fang Nan has brought changes to Qingshan Village and has also had some impact on other villages with good friendship.
Hutou Village is a specialty of iron tools, Xinghua Village has fabric products, some villages are good at hunting and gaining a lot of prey, some villages are good at serving fruit trees, and green mountain villages have a lot of food.
Villages that live relatively close to each other will trade the extra things in their own villages with other villages for useful things, so people will occasionally walk around between villages located in the mountains, and chatting is inevitable during this period.
At the beginning, the people from Qingshanzhai would say:
"A extraordinary person came out of our village. He is Fang Nan, the grandson of our old master of Qingshan Village, and is also the new master. After the old master passed away, Fang Nan was in a coma for three days. Unexpectedly, it was our old master who picked up his grandson and went to another world for thirty years. That world is like a place where gods live. Even the poorest and poorest people can eat enough, wear gorgeous clothes, and live in a comfortable big house..."
It is easier for people in Qingshan Village to imagine this. After all, Fang Nan is the person from their village, and Fang Nan’s changes can be seen by everyone in the village.
When people from other villages heard this, their first thought was that they didn’t believe it. They just listened to a story, and it was a very interesting story, such as planes that could make people fly in the sky, big carts that were not pushed by horses, "six-mile eyes", "slow wind ears", etc.
Then this story was not only spread among the villages with good friends in Qingshan Village, but also spread to more villages by the villages with good friends. Whether or not those who hear the story believe this story, Fang Nan and Qingshan Village have used this story to be known to so many people for the first time.
This was just the beginning. After that, the teenagers of Professor Fang Nan and Qingshan Village read and read, which made the names of Fang Nan and Qingshan Village spread widely in the mountains again.
Reading and literacy. Before Fangnan, Qingshanzhai was an unliterate person, but it does not mean that there were no literate people in other villages. There were so many villages in the mountains, so it was normal for people who could literate. Maybe there were scholars who committed serious crimes who fled into the mountains to join a village.
However, living in the deep mountains is of no use for most mountain people to study. They don’t even have household registration status. They are no longer people recognized by the Ming Dynasty. If they go outside, they are found by the government, they are likely to arrest the mountain people as thieves.
There are people who are literate in the village and have the idea of teaching other people to read and read, but no one is willing to waste time learning. However, the example of Qingshanzhai is now available.
"What is the use of living in this mountain? Reading and literacy?"
"Qingshanzhai, Fang Nan, I seem to have heard of it before, but when I think of it, it is the story of that extraordinary person."
"Reading and literacy is also a skill. If you can live outside, it will be no problem to have enough food. It's a pity that we will never be able to get out of this deep mountain in our lives."
These are the views of the vast majority of mountain people. Only a very small number of mountain people and even fewer literate mountain people think that reading and literacy is useful. They feel that Fangnan and Qingshanzhai are extraordinary.
Although it is not very useful to be able to read and read in the mountains, in fact, in the hearts of ordinary people, those who are literate must be more knowledgeable than those who are illiterate. Whether in the outside world or in the deep mountains, ordinary people who are illiterate respect those who are able to read.
Even if the literate person is not the few people in charge of the village, once something big happens in the village, the literate person will be invited to ask for their opinions.
Scholars have a high status, and this situation has been under the influence of hundreds or thousands of years in the past few hundred years. It is very difficult to change.
The names of Fang Nan and Qingshan Village were spread across the mountains twice, and they have gained some reputation, but the impact on other villages is still not great. For people in other villages, the changes in Qingshan Village are just a story to listen to until the third time.
The third time was that Fang Nan’s students taught their families to read and read. After this story spread, other mountain people still had a state of "listening to stories and reading jokes" for the first half of the story. In their opinion, it would be fine for children to read and read, but for people in their decades to read and read, this is a complete waste of time and there is no need for them.
However, the part about "The ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs" appeared in the second half of the story. The mountain people who listened to the story were stunned. They did not expect that the adults in Qingshanzhai read and read for this reason, and even those who were about to be buried were learning to read and read.
Scholars have higher status than farmers who don’t know a single word. Their ancestors are all farmers and they don’t know words. As descendants, they learn to read and read. Even if they are still farmers during their lifetime, when they meet their ancestors in the nine springs, they can still tell their ancestors loudly that they are no longer an ordinary farmer, but a farmer who can read and read.
Farmers who read and read are always at a higher level than those who are illiterate. If you have the opportunity, you can completely get rid of the identity of a farmer. The descendants of farmers who read and read will also read and read. They believe that these changes will definitely make the ancestors and ancestors in the nine springs happy and die without regrets.
Ancestors, families, and family generations are something that everyone on the land of China attaches great importance to, and they even work hard for it all their lives.
When other mountain people heard the new story about Qingshanzhai, they thought that escaping into the mountains would be a constant struggle. No one knew how long he could live in the mountains and had no face to meet the ancestors and ancestors below the Jiuquan. If they and the younger generation could read and read, they would have more than a face to meet the ancestors and ancestors after their death.
It is normal in this era to read and read and read for the sake of their ancestors and their ancestors, and to study and read without regrets, provided that they have the opportunity to read and read.
Not to mention in this deep mountain, even in the outside world, most ordinary people cannot read and read, because the cost of reading and reading is too high, and middle-aged peasants have to sell the land to support the cost of reading and reading for a child.
Among the middle peasants in the world, there are few rich peasants, and there are more small peasants with very little land and tenants with no land at all. These families have no qualifications to read and read. The vast majority of farmers' children are still farmers, and their descendants are difficult to change.
Only in Qingshan Village in the deep mountains, Fang Nan is willing to teach others to read and read, and there are methods to teach others to read and read, and it can make it easier for people in Qingshan Village to read and read than outside.
The villagers of other villages in the deep mountains did not have this opportunity even if they wanted to read and learn to read after hearing the story of Qingshanzhai.
After three consecutive times, Fang Nan had not taken action personally, and he and Qingshanzhai had already gained a great reputation in the deep mountains. Fang Nan was an extraordinary person in the words of the mountain people, and Qingshanzhai was a magical place.
