Chapter 8 Chengmen Lixue

People are curious. People who live by the sea will be curious about what is in the sea, what is opposite the sea, people in the country will be curious about what the city looks like, and people in the mountains will be curious about what the outside world looks like.

Qingshanzhai is far away from the outside world. Every time he goes out, he has to walk for several days. Qingshanzhai will regularly organize people to bring mountain goods to the outside world to exchange for some things that are not in the mountains. Because without a household registration, the people in Qingshanzhai cannot (dare not) to enter the city and can only trade with farmers outside the mountain.

Children have the most curiosity. They want to go to the outside world more than adults to see what the mountain looks like. Even if the elders describe the outside world as a world where "people cannibalism", they have not blocked the children's curiosity.

When the child grows up and knows more things, and even goes to the world outside the mountains to take a few glances, his curiosity will gradually fade and he will focus more on supporting his family.

Since Fang Nan woke up these days, through Fang Nan’s description of the modern world, children have a yearning for the modern world. The modern world is a novel and beautiful world for children. How much they want to live in that world.

It’s a pity that even Fang Nan cannot go to that beautiful world again, let alone others, in Fang Nan’s words,

Fang Nan made his students grow from a yearning for the modern world to a yearning for the outside world, letting them know that only by reading and literacy can they live a good life in the outside world.

Although there are some deceptions in this, Fang Nan lets students understand why they need to read and read. Only by understanding why they need to study can they study with their heart. In this case, students' efficiency will greatly increase.

Under Fang Nan's words, Hu Xiaoya and the other forty-two students' eyes became fierce. It was a desire for knowledge! A desire for a better life!

The students have already understood why they need to read and read. Fang Nan wants to let the students understand another truth - respecting teachers and respecting the Tao.

After the students sat in their seats, Teacher Fang Nan's class officially started. However, in the communication between Fang Nan and the students, the students had several names for Fang Nan, "Anan", "Adie", "Fang Nan", etc., which are all titles of their peers.

Now Fang Nan and Hu Xiaoya are teachers, while others are students. "A teacher for one day is a father for life", and the teacher's status is the same as that of his father.

One thing to note is that ancient teachers are different from modern teachers. The "teacher" in "a day is a teacher and a father for life" refers more to the master. Students or disciples can inherit the master's legacy. At this time, the master treats students like their own children, and students should also treat their master like their father.

Fang Nan's identification of his teacher's identity is between ancient and modern times. Fang Nan did not intend to raise his teacher's identity to the height of his father, but he also had to rise to the height of his elders and could not continue to be a peer of his students.

So Fang Nan told his students the first story after the formal class started: Cheng Men Lixue.

When they heard Fang Nan want to tell stories, the students all calmed down and their eyes were on Fang Nan. They have now aroused their interest in reading and literacy, but their hobby of listening to stories is still there.

"Hundreds of years ago, there was a famous person named Yang Shi. Yang Shi was very powerful. He was smart and smart when he was a child. He made a name for himself at a young age and even passed the Jinshi. By the time Yang Shi was in his forties, he had a high reputation among scholars all over the world.

One day, Yang Shi and Jacky Cheung You Zuo had different opinions on a certain question, so in order to get the correct answer, they went to the teacher Cheng Yi’s house to ask for advice.

It was winter and the weather was cold. When they were halfway through, it started to snow. When they arrived at Cheng Yi's house, Cheng Yi was sitting by the stove and closed his eyes to rest. Yang Shi and the other two dared not disturb the teacher, so they stood respectfully outside the door and waited. After a long time, Cheng Yi woke up and found Yang Shi and You Zuo standing in the wind and snow from the window. They were covered in snow, and the snow under their feet was more than one foot thick."

Fang Nan told a story of more than 200 words for several minutes, and during this period he also explained the terms "Jinshi", "Child Prodigy", "Snow" and other terms to the students.

For example, "snow". This place in Guangdong belongs to the East Asian monsoon region, with an annual average temperature of about 19℃-24℃. It may not be seen in ten years. In Fangnan's memory of twelve years in this life, only one year did Qingshanzhai encounter a sleet weather. The snowflakes melted as soon as they fell to the ground. It can be said that the students in Fangnan do not have much concept of "snow scene".

After Fang Nan told the story of "Snow in Chengmen", most students did not think of Fang Nan's intention to tell this story. More students were discussing "snowing". They really wanted to see what the "snow scene" looked like.

Fang Nan's goal has not been achieved yet. He continued to "teacher" and explained the two sentences "Teacher is to preach, learn to learn to solve doubts" and "a teacher for one day, and a father for life" to the students in turn. At this time, more students in the classroom understood the intention of Fang Nan's story of "Chengmen Lixue".

"Everyone lives in Qingshan Village, all of them are brothers and sisters. But from today on, I have a more relationship with you, the relationship between teachers and students. During class, when you ask me for knowledge after class, you must call me "teacher". You can do whatever you want at other times, and I don't mind calling me a name directly. Well, Hu Xiaoya is also your teacher."

Changes in titles are the first step to respecting teachers and respecting the way. At the beginning, many people may not get used to it. When students grow up, their understanding of "respecting teachers and respecting the way" will deepen. At that time, even in private, students will use "teacher" to call Fang Nan.

Things are not over yet.

"Zhou Shitou, stand up." Fang Nan said to a boy in the penultimate row.

The boy's surname is Zhou and his name is Shitou. He is about the same age as Hu Zhuang. He is both 15 years old. He is a little shorter than Hu Zhuang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The children in the village call him "Brother Shitou". Even Hu Zhuang is quite convinced of Zhou Shitou. It can be said that Zhou Shitou is the leader among minors in Qingshan Village.

Hearing Fang Nan's words, Zhou Shitou stood up in a daze, not knowing what Fang Nan asked him to stand up for.

"From today on, you will be students in the same class, and Zhou Shitou is your class monitor. When the two teachers Hu Xiaoya and I are not around, the class monitor will be responsible for managing you. Do you have to listen to the class monitor, do you understand?"

"clear!"
