Transmigrate to be an Ancient Saint - C359 What is a gentleman

Upon hearing those words, the other students and lecturers nodded their heads.

Zhou Yi and the Book of Songs were both required books of Confucianism. Hence, they were not unfamiliar with what Xiao Wen had said.

Then, Xiao Wen suddenly asked: “Everyone, what do you all think is the gentleman today?”

“This …” Hearing this, the disciples looked at each other again. To let them say what a gentleman was in front of Xiao Wen and Li Gang was tantamount to making a fool out of themselves.

They were all afraid of being mocked if they said something wrong, so for a moment no one answered.

“Sigh!” Even that is the same as primary school students! ” Xiao Wen thought.

Maybe his classmates in college had their own opinions. A classmate of Xiao Wen’s at university had even used his mouth to forcefully twist the lecturer’s three views and completed the achievement of reverse teaching.

But in elementary school, the children are just like the current students, still have no ability to think independently. When they faced Xiao Wen’s questions, they were like ostrich birds that would only bury their heads in the sand, afraid that Xiao Wen would question them.

But Xiao Wen was helpless. However, he knew that this was a very normal thing.

After all, he was once one of the many students who played the ostrich.

But Xiao Wen was also prepared. He said a few words to Yang Xiu and Zhuge Liang who was beside him. Hearing Xiao Wen’s order, the two of them revealed a trace of surprise and puzzlement. However, Xiao Wen said coldly, “Just do it. It was supposed to be done anyway. ”

Hearing this, although they were still unwilling, but the two little fellows still stood up and left the academy.

“Teacher Xiao, this is?” Looking at the two little fellows who left, Li Gang was a little confused. Since the two of them were seated side by side, he asked Xiao Wen.

Xiao Wen waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. Just a moment, please. ”

At this moment, the person who was pretending to be an ostrich was still pretending to be an ostrich. They looked at Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wen also looked at them. Both parties stared at each other, waiting until Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu walked in with a box in their hands.

Looking at them, Xiao Wen took out a slightly old book from the chest. This was something he had brought over from the Han Empire. However, the paper from the Han Dynasty was expensive and the price of this book was not cheap. It could be said to be very precious.

However, the students below the stage could not understand. After all, the Tang Kingdom’s paper was not as expensive as the Han Empire’s. Even if it were an ordinary student, they would be able to get a book for themselves — and this was only for poor students. They needed to trade the books in their hands for their classmates’ books in order to finish reading the Four Books and Five Classics.

Those rich students, on the other hand, had their own set of Four Books and Five Classics.

Just then, Xiao Wen said: “This is Gongyang Spring and Autumn, personally endorsed by Dong Zhongshu of my Han Empire’s Gong Yang Academy. In the Chang’an, not only is it priceless, it is also considered a gold coin. If any of you can answer my question, I’ll give him this book! “Don’t worry, even if I answered incorrectly, I will still send her off.”

After all, there was no correct answer to this question. It was just an open question.

Hearing that Xiao Wen actually took out the Spring Autumn Gongyang Successor, which was explained by Dong Zhongshu himself, many students immediately went into an uproar.

Who was Dong Zhongshu? He was a great scholar in the modern world?

Although in this era, China was not a place for scholars, Dong Zhongshu was one of the top scholars. In the Legacy of the Goat, “Xiang Gong to avenge nine generations of old, Spring and Autumn” can be said to make many upper blood Confucian students believe in avenging. As for peace? That thing can be eaten?

It could be said that Dong Zhongshu was not particularly popular among the scholars. This was especially true for some of Song Ming’s cynicism, especially for the hateful Dong Zhongshu. However, they were not diligent in solving their problems as scholars. If they wanted to do so, they might not be able to kill Dong Zhongshu.

But there is a market for such hot-blooded things as revanchism among young people.

Even if Songyang Academy’s students could not be considered to have received the education of the Gongyang School, they still had a good impression of Dong Zhongshu.

But Li Gang was a little embarrassed.

After all, Dong Zhongshu was a Confucian scholar, but if he was placed in the Catholic Church, he would still be a saint.

But there are also differences in the perception of saints among countries. Just as you cannot ask the English during the Hundred Years’ War to respect Joan of Arc, so Dong Zhongshu and Tang Ru were like Joan of Arc and the English.

But after thinking for a moment, Li Gang said, “Although our Songyang Academy also teaches four books and five scriptures, the main focus is not on the < Spring and Autumn >. Although the disciples could read, they couldn’t indulge themselves in it in order to avoid delaying their studies. After all, Dong Zi is not teaching you from your side.

Li Gang’s words could be considered as tacit approval of Xiao Wen’s actions. It was like the British government of the twentieth century telling the people that Joan of Arc had a feud with England, which was between the king and the French aristocracy in the Middle Ages. We should not continue the hatred of the previous dynasty to this day.

Upon hearing these words, the English citizen immediately cheered. Krypton immediately pulled the wife out of the pond.

Therefore, a shining, shining, aristocratic student, Zhan Le, stood up immediately. He cupped his hands towards Xiao Wen and said: “Reporting to Teacher. I think the so-called gentleman, in the final analysis, is the person who helped the Emperor govern this country. Scholars, on the other hand, should be born into a prestigious family clan. Only the son of an aristocratic family who has received a good education since childhood can be called a gentleman! ”

Hearing this, all of the aristocratic families nodded their heads in agreement.

They shared the same point of view as the Venerable One who had stood up. Only children from aristocratic families would be worthy of a gentleman.

As for those Humble Class bastards? They did not properly cultivate their fields, and actually wanted to use their studies to replace the aristocratic families. This was simply wishful thinking!

However, even though the son of an influential family thought this way, the Humble Class had a different idea. They were just like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang all those years ago, they all had the spirit of “a noble son should be born with seed in his heart”. Amongst them, a petite member of the Humble Class instantly exploded into rage.

He immediately stood up and retorted, “Getting a good education from a young age? That’s right! As gentlemen, we really should not study tirelessly and learn by heart. Instead of indulging in a golden life every day and abandoning school. As for when they would begin their education? “I believe that when a person starts his education at the age of eight, his or her achievements after reaching the age of eighteen will be greater than that of someone who studies hard before the age of eight. However, after the age of eight, he or she is better qualified to be called a gentleman!”

“Alright!” Upon hearing the words of this student, all of the members of the Humble Class, regardless of whether they were students or teachers, applauded him.

At the same time, Xiao Wen revealed a smile as he saw the conflict in the ranks of the Great Tang Dynasty unfold before him.
