Chapter 1132 You bastard, just stop getting angry at us twice!
Emperor Zhu's fingers gripped the windowsill as he muttered under his breath, "Why just play? He needs to study. Playing alone won't do. Only by studying hard can he amount to anything..."
Seeing Emperor Zhu constantly muttering to himself, Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes.
All studying, no playing?
That's pure nonsense.
Learning is something that goes against human nature.
Aside from a few top students who find a sense of accomplishment and triumph in their studies, most ordinary people only feel tired and miserable when they study.
Especially for children in the early childhood education stage, they are naturally playful and active. If they are forced to study from morning till night without any breaks between classes, these children would probably start to rebel!
Besides, what kind of success do you mean by "successful"?
In the end, won't you still end up being treated like a slave by an old man?
You with a scarred eye dreaming of marrying Xi Shi? You're just dreaming!
Yang Shaofeng was internally ranting when suddenly a series of clanging bells rang out in the school.
The teacher, who had been reading, put down his book and picked up the thick book "Hongwu Zhengyun" on his desk. The group of mischievous children also sat down and began to listen attentively to the teacher's lecture.
Then, Yang Shaofeng heard the teacher say, "You only need to have a general idea of the 'Global Phonology Chart' that we talked about in the last class. You don't need to study it specifically or memorize it. Don't waste your time on such meaningless things."
Yang Shaofeng turned to Li Shanchang with a bewildered look and asked, "May I ask, Prime Minister Li, what is this 'Living Chart of Universal Phonology'?"
Li Shanchang stroked his beard and smiled, saying with considerable pride, "This is the 'Complete Hongwu Zhengyun' that the Ministry of Rites produced, which took five or six years to revise."
“Taking the elegant pronunciation of the Central Plains as the basis, the symbols of twenty different Chinese characters are the fathers of the same sound, and five symbols are the mothers of the self-sound. The mothers of the self-sound are also the vowels and vowels. In addition, the mothers and grandmothers derived from the vowels are the mothers and grandsons, totaling fifty.”
"In this way, many characters in the Central Plains that have sound but no written form can be written down."
"Even if the people of our Great Ming Dynasty are not very knowledgeable, they know this method of distinguishing the initial consonant by sound. As long as they have the Hongwu Dictionary in hand, they can know the family by listening to the sound."
“All the vassal states under heaven can also use this as a basis to determine their own phonetics.”
"..."
Li Shanchang proudly showed off the achievements of the Ministry of Rites, after all, this work was completed under the guidance of the Secretariat and the Grand Secretariat.
The schoolteacher continued, "What I am about to teach you is our own 'Central Plains Phonology Chart,' which belongs to our Great Ming Dynasty. You must listen carefully and study this part well, as it is the foundation for the literacy of the people of our Great Ming Dynasty."
"This part of the content will be studied every day, and there will be a test the next day. If you fail the test, you will have to study it again. If you fail twice, you will be punished by writing more. If you fail three times, your parents will be called in."
"We must not be careless."
"Now, bring out your blackboards and chalk..."
Hearing the teacher mention "punishment writing" and "calling the parents," Yang Shaofeng was stunned.
Does this sound like a word?
Is this reasonable?
The method teachers use to threaten students is actually a time-honored tradition?
Yang Shaofeng was internally ranting, while Emperor Zhu led the way to another classroom.
The atmosphere in this classroom was much more normal. At least the teacher had written the four characters "律吕调阳" (Lǜ Lǚ Tiao Yáng) on the blackboard, and the older children were all listening attentively to the teacher's lecture.
"Qi begins at the winter solstice... Place nine bamboo tubes in the soil. Odd-numbered tubes belong to Yang and are called Lü, while even-numbered tubes belong to Yin and are called Lü. The nine-inch tube is called Huangzhong, which is the first of the six Lü. Next is Dalu, which is the first of the six Lü. Then there are Taicu, Jiazhong, Guxi, Zhonglu, Ruibin, Linzhong, Yize, Nanlu, Wushe, and Yingzhong."
“Burning reed membranes produces a substance called ‘Jiafu ash.’ This ash is placed in a tube. At the winter solstice, the floating ash in the nine-inch tube, representing the extreme yang energy, will be blown out… At the time of Minor Snow, the floating ash in the four-inch-six-tenths-inch tube, representing the extreme yin energy, will be blown out. These are the twelve of the twenty-four solar terms…”
"Therefore it is said that cold comes and heat goes, autumn harvests and winter stores, leap years complete the year, and musical scales harmonize the seasons."
"..."
After lecturing for a while, the teacher smiled and said to the children, "If you are interested, you can try to find bamboo yourselves and see if the dust can be blown out. When the dust is blown out, the time will be different from the time calculated by the 'Datong Calendar'."
As the teacher finished speaking, Yang Shaofeng didn't feel anything, but Liu Bowen couldn't help but shiver.
The Datong Calendar was presented by our old Liu, and then it was continuously revised.
If the calculation of the twelve solar terms is wrong, the first one to suffer will be me, Liu Bowen.
Damn it, how come a perfectly good schoolteacher is acting like a living devil?
Just as Liu Bowen was inwardly cursing the schoolteacher for being no good either, he heard the schoolteacher tap the blackboard and say, "However, before you begin the experiment, you must remember one thing: the south of the Yangtze River is different from the north of the Yangtze River, and the Central Plains is different from the Western Regions."
"The Datong Calendar is based on the celestial phenomena of the Central Plains to calculate the seasons and solar terms. You can test it in the capital without any problems, but if you go to Liaodong to test it, there may be deviations. In that case, you can't blame the Datong Calendar."
"Of course, the Master was only speculating. He had never been to Liaodong in person, and he certainly wouldn't dare to say that the Datong Calendar was definitely wrong in Liaodong."
"If you have the opportunity to go to Liaodong to conduct experiments in the future, you should think about completing the Datong Calendar."
"Alright," the teacher stood up and erased the four large characters "律吕调阳" (Lǜ Lǚ Tiao Yáng) from the blackboard, then wrote the four characters "云腾致雨" (Yún Téng Zhì Yǔ) in chalk. "Next, we'll talk about how clouds rise and bring rain, and how dew condenses into frost..."
Liu Bowen unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, while Emperor Zhu's previously dark expression changed, and he grinned so wide that his molars were visible.
That's more like it! This is how teachers should instruct students, and this is how students should study diligently. They absolutely cannot be like those unruly kids who only know how to play.
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the happier he became, and his gaze toward Yang Shaofeng became much more amiable.
Well, although our son-in-law isn't exactly a good person, his suggestion to "build more community schools" really hit the nail on the head.
If only this bastard could stop making us angry a couple of times!
Just thinking of the words "bastards" made Emperor Zhu's gaze towards Zhu Lao Er, Zhu Lao San, Zhu Lao Si, and others turn hostile.
These bastards are always causing trouble for us; they deserve a good beating!
Especially the second son, that bastard deserves a beating the most!
Emperor Zhu glared fiercely at Zhu Shuang, then led the way forward.
