I created Qin Tianjian in modern times
Chapter 112 is popularized across the country, and the Internet is blowing up!
Chapter 112 is popularized across the country, and the Internet is blowing up!
Li Wanran sat alone in the training room, admiring the sword in the moonlight.
The dragon chanting sword reflected the cold light under the moonlight, but it did not make Li Wanran feel cold.
There is a special tassel on the hilt of this dragon chanting sword. This tassel looks like it is roughly woven with hemp rope, and has long since faded in color due to time.
But Li Wanran's eyes when looking at Jiansui were so warm and gentle.
The scene from his youth reappeared in his mind, where his sister tied the sword spike to a branch with her own hands.
The sword at that time was used to kill the young man Chou.
This sword now protects the country and the country.
The sword spike remains the same, things and people have changed. Looking at the sword spike, Li Wanran will feel that his sister is still by his side. In such a reunion day, he does not seem so lonely.
Li Wanran was not the only one who had no phone to call. Zhang Lingyuan seemed a little lonely at the moment.
He looked out the window at the starry sky, which was constantly illuminated by the city's fireworks.
When the gorgeous fireworks bloom, they also outline the colors of the world.
But to Zhang Lingyuan, he was like a shadow wandering in this world.
He has been wandering for half his life, so he is said to have taken root in Qintian Prison.
He never told anyone about his family, and he rarely even mentioned his past.
But what is worth noting is that he is holding a box in his hand that looks a little special.
This box is only the size of a palm and has a complex structure like a Luban box. It is a mechanism that requires specific techniques to unlock.
There is a line of small words written on the box. The handwriting is elegant, but the content is clear and clear.
"The Milky Way rotates in the sky, and the curtain hangs on the world..."
Zhang Lingyuan always carries this box with him. When he is alone, he will try to dismantle the mechanism.
But every time it ended in failure, and over time, it became an inertia.
His slender fingers danced on the mechanism box, and this dazzling movement was accompanied by the pleasant sound of the mechanism.
If you put this box to your ear and listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the dense gears inside.
The high mountains and green snow are the holy land on earth.
There is obviously a story behind Zhang Lingyuan, but at least so far, he has no idea of sharing this story with others.
On this night, some people were happy and some were sad, some were angry and some were worried.
Every team member has his own story, and everyone also has troubles that others don't know about.
But this did not prevent them from trying their best to adjust their mood, and then crossed their legs and fell into meditation, and the years passed as soon as they sat down.
……
After the New Year, the festive atmosphere did not dissipate, but continued for many days.
The customs of different places are different, and the things to do after the New Year are also different.
Long County has the most exquisite New Year customs. In the past, there was a folk song in Lao Long County:
"Children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the new year.
Laba porridge, drink for a few days, mile la la 23.
23. Tanggua sticky, 24. House cleaning, 25. Fried tofu, 26. Stewed mutton..."
After the New Year's Eve, people begin to look forward to the lively temple fair.
You can choose Yongle Temple in Dazhong Temple, Dazhong Baiyun Temple, touch the stone monkey, and see the money eye.
In addition, there is a more special rule in Long County, that is, the fifth day of the first lunar month is called Po Wu, and you cannot cook with uncooked rice before Po Wu.
In Shanghai, after the first day of the Lunar New Year, people have to put on new clothes and new shoes to worship heaven and ancestors in the hall, and then the young and old come together to pay New Year greetings to their parents.
Some places have to offer sacrifices to gods after the Chinese New Year, and some places have to honor ancestors.
In some places, ten temple incense must be burned, and in other places, nine-grade candles must be burned.
The country of Dayan has a vast territory, resulting in a spectacular scene with different styles and customs.
This kind of folk activities often lasts until after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before gradually quieting down.
After the Lantern Festival, it means that the New Year is completely over.
The adults are getting ready to get back into shape and start a busy year of work.
The children also began to worry about the unfinished homework during the winter vacation, and they should use some clever tricks to solve it.
The top leaders of various schools in Long County have even begun to organize meetings. After all, they have to respond to the call of the Department of Education and add a new subject this year, which is no small matter.
Early on the morning of January 1, the Longjun Education Department Office issued a notice.
"Notice on the staggered start of primary and secondary schools in the spring semester of 2024." 》
This notice clearly mentions the start time of each school age group.
普通中学高三年级于2024年2月5日星期六报到,2月6日星期日正式上课。
The third grade students will register on Sunday, February 2024, 2, and classes will officially begin on Monday, 6.
中学其他年级以及小学于2024年2月15日星期二报到,2月16日星期三正式上课。
The starting time of kindergarten is based on that of primary school.
With this clear notice of the start of school, senior leaders of various schools began to get busy.
The spring semester will also face the problem of welcoming new students, so the relevant teachers must go to the school in advance to make preparations.
Spring is coming, flowers are blooming, ice and snow are melting, the flavor of the new year is gradually receding, and people are beginning to return to normal life.
People who went home for the New Year began to return to the city one after another, and the empty streets became busy with traffic again.
Factories and companies are starting to resume operations one after another, and everything is gradually returning to normal.
Such a cycle seems to be formed every year, but it is this orderly cycle that constitutes a prosperous country.
Longjun No. 1909 Experimental Primary School is a century-old school founded in [-].
Four years ago, the primary school was recognized as one of the second batch of compulsory education schools in Long County that met the management standards.
The final pass rate for all students in the school is 100%.
This data is enough to make this primary school the benchmark for all primary schools in Long County.
Other schools are learning from this primary school’s management and teaching methods. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the direction indicator. Any new things must start from this school before they can be imitated and accepted by other schools.
Today is the first day of school for the Second Experimental Primary School, and a long queue has already formed in front of the school.
Parents hurriedly sent their children to school, and banners were hung at the school gate to welcome new students.
After nearly an hour of congestion, the street gradually became smoother, new students entered the school, and the school began to operate normally.
Children in Class [-], Grade [-], who have just entered school, are still panicking about this unfamiliar environment.
Some children still have tear stains on their faces, and the blush from crying has not faded yet.
At this moment, a figure walked into the classroom. This person was none other than Lin Mo, an academician of the Qintian Supervisory Law Department.
Various departments within the Qintian Prison have sent a large number of academicians to various schools. They will be stationed in the schools as lecturers in the early stages of the reform plan.
"Children, we are going to start class today..."
Lin Mo also obviously felt a little nervous. After all, he was facing a group of children. Unless he had experienced it personally, it would be difficult to understand.
According to the teaching plan, the foundation of folk mythology and history must be laid at the primary school level, especially for first-year students.
In the system-set lesson plans, the Department of Magical Arts can be used as the beginning of the course for teaching.
Of course, what is taught is nothing more than some theoretical knowledge. At the same time, in order to increase the fun and lay a good foundation, children will also be taught some methods of using pens.
The courses for the first and second grade students are relatively simple, but starting from the third grade, they already start practicing calligraphy in the first class.
The children looked curiously at the academician on the podium teaching how to use the brush on the blackboard, and they all felt very strange.
The academician drew a talisman on the blackboard in one go. Then he looked at the children and pointed at the talisman and said:
"Students, we are going to start practicing calligraphy today, and we will use this symbol to practice.
You may not know what this symbol is now, but it doesn’t matter. In our folk mythology history class, everyone will learn it gradually, but first, what we have to do is to lay a good foundation..."
The third-grade children nodded ignorantly, then picked up the brushes distributed aside and began to draw gourds and scoops on the paper.
The academician who taught the class came down very seriously to check one by one:
"Everyone must pay attention to not breaking the pen when writing. During the entire writing process, it is best to hold one breath and transport it from the Dantian to the hand to the tip of the pen, flowing like flowing water.
Watch your wrist...
This classmate shouldn’t be too strong..."
"It's okay. Don't be afraid if your pen breaks. It's inevitable when you first start practicing."
The children had never seen such a thing before, but they had been taught how to write hard-strokes by their Chinese teacher before.
But this spell made the children very curious. This kind of calligraphy was like drawing, and they had never seen it before.
Children are curious, and the more novel something is, the easier it is to get involved.
Seeing that the children had developed a very intuitive interest in this class, the academician who taught the class finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
In the next week, all primary schools in Quanlong County began full classes.
The morning reading is about mantras, and the calligraphy practice is about Taoist charms.
The lesson in class is about transforming the three pure states into one breath, and the inter-class exercises are a combination of Tai Chi and various Taoist techniques for cultivating the mind.
When Saturday and Sunday arrived, the children were all taken home by their parents. Because they had to care about their children's studies, many parents would dutifully take a look at their children while they were doing their homework.
But when they saw the homework done by their children, the parents were stunned.
"what are you doing?"
The child was holding a brush in his hand and sitting upright, but there was a spell drawn on the paper in front of him.
Even if parents don't understand it, they have seen the movie. This kind of spell is not uncommon in movies.
"Mom, this is the homework left by the teacher!"
This kind of conversation happens in many families, leaving many parents confused.
The other assignments are easy to understand, but what kind of course is using a brush to draw symbols?
And it was only then that parents learned that the school had actually added a new subject called History of Folklore Myths.
The basic stage of the history of national mythology is the use of brushes and drawing of spells.
As for those children in the fourth and fifth grades, those who are eager to learn will get up early in the morning to recite the text.
Parents will see this and feel very happy, bringing some fruits to them to supplement their children's nutrition.
But when they walked to the door of the child's room, they heard the sound of reciting from inside, and the fruit plate in the parent's hand almost fell to the ground.
"Pure water, sun and moon canopy. The Beidou is hidden in the middle, and the three platforms of Yin are hidden inside.
As soon as the divine water is sprinkled, the disgust and filth will disappear quickly.When pure water is sprinkled, misfortunes disappear and blessings come..."
This recitation sounded like a mantra, and the parents quickly opened the door and walked in. They saw that the child was holding a new textbook that he had never seen before. In the textbook was written the history of folk mythology, and the textbook was The cover depicts legendary gods.
This looks like an extracurricular book, but it is actually a textbook issued by the school.
The parent curiously took the textbook and flipped through it, only to realize that what the child had just recited was called the Mantra for Purifying the House.
Looking further, this book not only talks about how to clean a house and make it prosperous, but also basic knowledge such as Feng Shui talismans.
The more parents watched, the more confused they became, and they had no idea what was going on.
The same situation does not only occur in elementary school, but also in middle and high schools.
Except for the senior high school students who will take the college entrance examination this year, other students have already begun to take courses in the history of folklore and mythology, and the content taught is more profound than in elementary school.
"Students, this class on the history of folk mythology is mainly to let everyone know more about folk culture and the origin of our mythology in the Yan Kingdom.
From a scientific perspective, we can trace the cultural landscape of different periods through mythology.
Before starting the lecture, the teacher would like to ask the students what they know about mythology. "
"Teacher, I know Kuafu Zhuri!"
"Teacher, is Journey to the West a myth?"
"Teacher, I know Jingwei reclamation..."
The students answered the questions enthusiastically, and the academician who taught the class nodded happily:
"Very good, it seems that everyone usually reads some extracurricular books to supplement their knowledge.
But the myths we want to talk about are somewhat different from the ones you just knew. What we want to talk about are gods.
Please open the first lesson of the textbook, the chapter on immortals..."
"Do you know who has the highest status among the gods?"
"The Jade Emperor!"
"That's right, it's the Jade Emperor. Do you know what the Jade Emperor's full nickname is?
Do you know where he lives, what he looks like, and what kind of skills he has? "
Children are very enthusiastic about this novel course content, and the academicians who teach will naturally seize this opportunity to teach more knowledge to the children.
The primary school stage focuses on laying the foundation, while the junior high school stage begins to improve the system and establish a complete world view.
In this worldview, the gods really exist, and they all occupy their own places and have their own strengths.
In order not to impact children's current scientific concepts, these courses are still based on myths.
“The full name of the Jade Emperor is Taishang Kaitian Holding Talisman Yuli Hanzhenti Dao Jinque Tianmen Jiuqiong Jade Standing Ten Thousand Daos Wuwei Avenue Famous Palace Haotian Golden Tower Supreme Jade Emperor Pardoning Sins Great Heavenly Lord Leading the Heavenly God.
I know this name is very long, but you should remember it, you might get it during the exam.
According to mythological records, the Jade Emperor lives in the Haotian Golden Palace Miluo Heavenly Palace, and is also the highest-status god..."
The academician was speaking on the stage, and the students were recording carefully below.
For this kind of thing, children's enthusiasm is always high.
They are at the stage where they are curious about everything, so questions are naturally not uncommon in this kind of class.
Fortunately, the academicians who came to give lectures had been carefully prepared in advance, so they were able to answer these questions with ease.
In high school courses, the difficulty is naturally higher than in elementary and junior high schools. The sophomore students walked into a newly renovated classroom out of curiosity, only to find that there were several small plates on the table in the classroom. Something that I have no idea what it is.
Next to it was a black stove, which caught the eyes of many students.
"Isn't this the alchemy furnace in the movie?"
"Isn't this an old chemistry classroom before? Why has it become like this now?"
The students took their seats curiously, and the lecturer who came to teach soon walked away step by step, hunched over, stroking his beard.
"Students, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Quanbei, and I am the teacher of this new course on the history of folk mythology.
In your high school curriculum, the first lesson on the history of national mythology is to have a basic understanding of alchemy. "
"Alchemy?"
These words made all the students present widen their eyes. Children in their second year of high school already have certain judgment skills, so they were all confused.
<divclass="contentadv">In the history class before, they also knew something about alchemy. Many emperors would ask alchemists to make alchemy in order to find a way to live forever, but in that kind of course, alchemy was tantamount to fraud.
But now the second sentence the teacher said after taking the stage subverted their perceptions:
“Alchemy is the collective name for refining outer elixirs and inner elixirs.
As for Waidan, minerals are refined in an alchemy furnace to create elixirs.
Inner elixir, the human body is modeled as an alchemy furnace, which is used to cultivate the inner elixir by practicing methods such as refining essence, energy, and spirit.
Many experts use various secret methods to refine elixirs and consume them to make their sound and image quality Yang Qi.
As the saying goes, the breath of the dragon and tiger's womb means that the old and the old will embrace the new. This is the truth. "
"Now everyone, look at what you have in front of you. In terms that you can understand, alchemy has a lot to do with chemical reactions.
The larger one next to you is called the medicine furnace, and the one next to you is the alchemy furnace, the alchemy cauldron, the water sea, the pomegranate jar, the Hua Chi, and the grinder.
Today we won’t get started, just understand the basics.
After understanding the basic equipment, everyone must also know that the famous alchemy master is named Ge Hong, also known as Baopuzi.
In the process of refining alchemy, Baopuzi actually made many new discoveries. For example, he discovered that heating red mercury sulfide, that is, cinnabar, can separate mercury, and mercury plus sulfur can combine to form Mercury sulfide…”
In order to allow students to accept the course faster, during the teaching process, academicians will also add some modern knowledge that children already have at least to combine it, so as to help them understand better.
In fact, as the academicians had previously thought, great curiosity arose in the children's hearts.
They had never taken chemistry classes as seriously as they did now, especially when they looked at the various special equipment in front of them but had no idea of its use.
A group of young people who are full of hormones are eager to try it now. After all, in their impression, all the people who make alchemy in the movie are very good.
When this step is achieved, it also means that the course has started correctly.
If we can mobilize children's learning initiative, we can continue this class.
At the same time, lecture halls were also opened in the three most famous universities in Longjun, Magic City, and Yangcheng.
Three directors including Liu Tianyi personally served as lecturers and gave public lectures at well-known universities in three cities and counties.
There were not too many students who came this day, only about 30 people.
Moreover, these students were bored and saw relatively novel things like folk mythology and history, so they wanted to take a look out of curiosity.
Liu Tianyi stood on the podium, and the blackboard behind him was a hand-drawn celestial map.
A yellow line represents the ecliptic, and 28 points are marked near the ecliptic line.
These 28 points represent the 28 constellations. The college students looked at Liu Tianyi curiously. This was really the first time they heard this kind of lecture.
"The blue dragon is curled up on the left, and the fierce white tiger is on the right. Zhu Zai is flying in front, and the turtle is circling behind.
Classmates, what I just talked about are the four images that are often called in folklore.
The ancients divided the 28 stars in the sky into 4 parts according to the four directions of northeast, southwest, and each part contained 4 stars. According to the shapes of the 7 stars in each part, these four parts were named after 7 similar animals. They are called the four items or the four continents, and what we mainly understand today is the corresponding relationship between them..."
"The Eastern Qisu is like a giant dragon flying in the night sky in spring and early summer, so it is called Dongguan Canglong.
The seven places in the north are dominated by snakes and turtles in the night sky in late summer and early autumn, Beiguan Xuanwu.
The seven places in the south look like the red bird that appears in the sky in the cold winter and early spring, so it is called Nanguan red bird.
In the seven places in the west, fierce tigers leap out in late autumn and early winter, and are called Xiguan White Tigers..."
The students looked at each other in confusion as they listened, wondering, how could something like this appear in a university lecture?
It was mentioned in previous courses on astronomy, but it was not like now that a separate lecture hall was set up to teach it.
On the other side of the university in Shanghai, Zhang Daoyi has also started giving lectures on Feng Shui theory.
This class is obviously much more eye-catching than astrology. After all, Feng Shui is already known to everyone and is still cloaked in mystery.
Therefore, many students came to attend the public lectures, more than a hundred people.
Before class, Zhang Daoyi had a phone call with Liu Tianyi.
After knowing that there were only a few dozen students there, I felt much better during class.
"Students, I am very happy that you can come to this public lecture on folk mythology and Feng Shui theory. I am the main lecturer Zhang Daoyi.
Speaking of Feng Shui, everyone must have heard of it more or less, and this should be regarded as the most well-known Yi Xue.
Feng Shui has a cultural history of more than 6000 years, and it took shape in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
After thousands of years of inheritance and development, Feng Shui today has formed an applied philosophy with a theoretical system and a basis for learning.
After learning Feng Shui well, you can also spy on the secrets of heaven like the movie says, so just sitting here today is actually half the success. "
Zhang Daoyi's teaching methods are relatively humorous, and the classroom atmosphere is also very harmonious.
“Feng Shui is classified according to techniques, and there are actually only two types, namely Kanyu and Xiangdi.
Everyone can learn it in my lectures, so there is no need to worry. Today we are just going to learn some basic Feng Shui knowledge that you must know.
The two most important things in Feng Shui are already reflected in the name. Its core concepts are wind and water.
Wind is actually energy and field, and water is flow and change.
In fact, the environment we live in is full of Feng Shui. Just like this lecture hall, it is built from the north to the south, with the door opening to the southeast. It is located at the literary star of the entire university.
And setting up a lecture hall in this place for everyone to learn and impart knowledge is called the harmony of Feng Shui.
Studying here can easily make everyone feel like they are being helped by a god. "
"Teacher, why do I have such a hard time every morning when I come to class?"
A naughty student made a joke, which immediately attracted laughter from many people.
Zhang Daoyi was not in a hurry, looked at him with a peaceful smile and said:
"That only shows that the bed feng shui in your dormitory is stronger than here, and it also proves that you are lazy."
There was another burst of laughter, and Zhang Daoyi used this method to invisibly get closer to the students.
The progress of the course naturally became smoother and smoother. More and more students participated and interacted with it. Among the questions they raised, there were some that made Zhang Daoyi's eyes shine.
"Teacher, how significant is Feng Shui in real life?
In other words, if I hold a Gatling with infinite bullets in my hand, then even if I stay in a haunted house with the worst feng shui, it won't seem to have any impact. "
"This classmate asked a good question, but have you ever thought that when you hold Gatling in your hand, your own feng shui also changes?
Gatling, in the true sense, should be of metal, metal is yang and haunted house is yin.
You are a boy. Although I don’t know if you are a boy, your yang energy will be strengthened by holding Gatling.
When yang energy is stronger than yin energy, you also change the feng shui of your environment.
Don’t forget what I said just now that Feng Shui is fluid and changing..."
"Teacher, if I can't catch up with the girl I like, can I change my feng shui to do it?"
“This is not a question of Feng Shui, this is a question of magic.
The next class should be taught by my good friend Mr. Yun Daozi. You can ask him about the science of magic.
But you don’t advocate this idea. No matter how good something is, it’s called heresy if it’s used in the wrong place. "
During the interaction between Zhang Daoyi and the students, the atmosphere in the classroom became more and more harmonious.
When Zhang Daoyi began to teach professional knowledge about Feng Shui, the students accepted it very quickly.
Interest is indeed the best teacher.
At the same time, Yun Daozi, who was far away at a well-known university in Yangcheng, faced the same dilemma as Liu Tianyi, with only a few dozen people.
However, Yun Daozi is not discouraged. After all, this is the first lesson, and everyone has different acceptance levels.
But he believes that through the influence of his courses, this situation will definitely change when the next class starts.
Yun Daozi's course started with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a strange book that was once controversial in the academic field.
This book has been controversial for thousands of years, and it can be regarded as the most mysterious pre-Qin book in Dayan Kingdom.
This book is full of monsters, ghosts, gods, and anecdotes, and it describes in very specific terms the astronomy, geography, customs, technology, medicine, and even witchcraft and religion of the ancient Yan Kingdom.
There have been some lectures on the Classic of Mountains and Seas in universities before, but those lectures only used a scientific perspective to explore the value of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the equivalence of the thoughts of the sages who participated in the Contest of One Hundred Schools of Thought, and to engage in ideological and philosophical collisions.
But today's lecture is completely different. Yun Daozi hopes to start from this perspective and make all students gradually realize that there is a side of the world that they do not understand.
“The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Hai Nei Nan Jing records that there is a tree, its shape is like an ox, and its skin is like a tassel, like a yellow snake.
Its leaves are like Luo, actually like Luan, and its wood is like sandalwood.It is called Jianmu, and it is on the west weak water.
Does anyone know what this refers to? "
Facing the question from the Taoist Master, the students looked at each other in confusion, because they had always regarded the Classic of Mountains and Seas as a myth. How could it possibly be something real?
But soon a picture was posted on the PPT behind him, and then he pointed at the picture and said to the students:
"Look at this picture, the curved branches look like horns.
This thing is a bronze sacred tree unearthed in Sanxingdui not long ago. It has 9 branches, and a bronze bird is installed on the top of each branch.
In addition, there are bronze bells hanging on some branches and carved with bronze dragon patterns.
After detailed research, many experts believe that the prototype of the Sanxingdui bronze sacred tree is the sacred tree recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which is the Jianmu I just mentioned. "
"Look further down, everyone, the Book of Mountains and Seas also mentions that there was a prince of Shu, Cancong, whose eyes were vertical, and he became king.
The silkworm bush mentioned here means clairvoyance, and the corresponding one is the bronze mask unearthed before Sanxingdui.
Look at this bronze mask. The eyes are connected by bronze rods. In ancient times, it meant clairvoyance. "
The originally noisy classroom environment gradually became quiet, and curiosity gradually appeared on the students' faces.
Indeed, it is just that the descriptions of the ancients are relatively obscure and profound, but with pictures as evidence, it seems that all this really forms a coincidence in a certain sense.
Or in other words, is this really a coincidence?
Looking at the students' reactions, Yun Daozi knew that his goal had been achieved. He used the simplest method to successfully attract the students and make them curious about this class.
"Students, we will not explain the meaning behind this class for the time being. We just want everyone to see the world from another perspective.
We have always said that we should have a scientific attitude towards everything, but in this class, I hope everyone can put aside this view temporarily.
It is undeniable that the development of science has promoted the progress of the world, but is the culture passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years really meaningless?
It is self-contradictory to use a century of science to explore a culture that is thousands of years old.
So let’s put aside your prejudices and let’s learn about a more exciting world. We won’t judge whether it’s true or false, but maybe some students will find something out of it. "
Yun Daozi's words just kicked off the class. College students are naturally much more accepting of these things than other school-age children.
All aspects seem to be developing steadily step by step, and curriculum reform has also taken the crucial first step.
But don’t forget that reform often means controversy. After nearly half a month of fermentation, some inevitable problems still emerged.
The controversy started in Shanghai, when a netizen posted a post. This post appeared and immediately caused a stir.
"I would like to ask, what exactly does the No. [-] Middle School in Shanghai think?
Suddenly, a course on the history of folklore and mythology was added. My child was already tired from studying and was overwhelmed by several subjects.
Junior high school is a very important stage, and it is necessary to lay a good foundation for the future college entrance examination. As we all know, the college entrance examination is the lowest-cost way to change your destiny.
But it happened that at this time, No. [-] Middle School added a course on the history of folk mythology. I want to know what the significance of this is?
Children now no longer have to memorize history and geography every day, but also have to memorize some weird spells.
Hasn’t this kind of feudal superstition been abandoned long ago?How can I move it to the school?
Please ask the leaders of the Education Department to pay attention and give us parents an explanation. "
Obviously, this parent always believed that adding a course on the history of folklore and mythology was just an independent act of the No. [-] Middle School in Shanghai.
But what he didn't expect was that the series of comments completely made things go out of control.
"Huh? Your school in Magic City also has this kind of course. I thought it was only our school like this.
Our Qishan Primary School in Longjun also added a course on the history of folk mythology. That day, I was very pleased to see my child practicing calligraphy with a brush, but when I got closer, I saw that he was using a brush to draw talismans! "
“I am from Yangjun County, and my son came home in his second year of high school and clamored for me to buy him books on traditional Chinese medicine.
I was also wondering why my child suddenly became interested in Chinese medicine when he was obviously studying science.
After careful questioning, I found out that my child was learning alchemy at school! "
"This is also the case in our Long County. It turns out that it's not just one or two schools, but all schools?"
"What are you talking about here? I am from Jinhai County, and I have never heard of any courses on the history of folk mythology.
Are you guys hyping this up? "
Netizens from other cities and counties also came to join in the fun, but as more and more people participated, netizens gradually discovered the problem.
Most of the netizens who claim that the school has added folk mythology and history courses are from Longjun, Yangjun and Magic City.
And from the fierce verbal and written criticisms from netizens, it is not difficult to see that this newly added folk myth is indeed a bit outrageous.
In class, the teacher led the children to practice calligraphy by drawing talisman, reciting spells, and learning about strange powers and chaos. Naturally, this caused a great sensation in a short period of time.
Parents in middle school and high school are even more angry. They regard the college entrance examination as the biggest thing in life. How can they tolerate such a bad situation?
"I read the homework given to my son by the school, and the questions asked were basically what to do if a ghost hits the wall, and what does it mean if the incense burns out in the cemetery?
The most annoying thing is that for the two big questions at the end of the paper, you are given a scenario and you have to write down how to use the cinnabar charm.
I want to know what the school is cultivating, is it cultivating magicians?
Who will be responsible for delaying my son's future? "
Parents who didn't understand the reason became more and more angry the more they talked.
Especially after learning that the course on the history of folklore and mythology was mainly for Sancheng County, the pressure was naturally put on the relevant schools and the relevant education departments.
On this day, the telephone numbers of the academic affairs offices of various schools were almost inundated with angry voices from parents.
They all asked the school to give an explanation, what is the meaning of doing this, and even wondered what the school's intentions were.
The principals from all sides were under great pressure for a while, and they finally realized what it meant to cry without tears.
To put it bluntly, what does this matter have to do with our school?
We are also following the instructions of the Department of Education.
You don't call the Secretary of Education to ask for an explanation, but instead ask our school for an explanation. Is there any natural reason for this?
But in fact, the Department of Education's telephone number has been busy for a long time due to too many incoming calls.
The operators in the Department of Education had to maintain a professional attitude, maintain a smile, and use the gentlest tone to answer, but they had to bear the emotional and emotional accusations from many parents.
This incident once caused a sensation on the entire Internet. Netizens from other cities and counties participated in the discussion with the attitude of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
"Big cities are just different. The speed of social development is beyond the imagination of small citizens like us."
“I remember when I was a child, when I was walking through the school corridors, I could hear the sound of reading being read loudly from various classrooms.
Will there be sounds of chanting sutras and mantras everywhere when you enter school now? "
"In the past, when I was playing in the playground, when I was a child, I would pick up tree branches and play the role of a hero. Now, do I have to act like a fairy, forming formations and casting spells?"
Parents saw these teasing voices and naturally became even more angry. More and more parents spontaneously gathered at the school and demanded an explanation from the school leaders.
The principals of each school had to bite the bullet, being surrounded by parents, and had to appease the parents' emotions.
Seeing that things are spreading faster and faster, it is almost out of control.
This is the risk that reform requires. No reform can go smoothly.
Because reform means change, and this change is often unacceptable.
As the ancients said, the human eyes of the world cannot see the front but not the back, and can see light but not darkness.
The level of pressure from the public has made the education ministers of the three major cities and counties also begin to feel anxious.
Although they had thought that the public would definitely have public opinion, they did not expect that such public opinion would be so intense.
The roads near the school have long been blocked, and all schools in the three major cities and counties have been severely affected.
At this time, people did not realize that adding folk mythology was a national policy. In their minds, this was probably a unilateral decision by the school or the Department of Education...
Li Wanran sat alone in the training room, admiring the sword in the moonlight.
The dragon chanting sword reflected the cold light under the moonlight, but it did not make Li Wanran feel cold.
There is a special tassel on the hilt of this dragon chanting sword. This tassel looks like it is roughly woven with hemp rope, and has long since faded in color due to time.
But Li Wanran's eyes when looking at Jiansui were so warm and gentle.
The scene from his youth reappeared in his mind, where his sister tied the sword spike to a branch with her own hands.
The sword at that time was used to kill the young man Chou.
This sword now protects the country and the country.
The sword spike remains the same, things and people have changed. Looking at the sword spike, Li Wanran will feel that his sister is still by his side. In such a reunion day, he does not seem so lonely.
Li Wanran was not the only one who had no phone to call. Zhang Lingyuan seemed a little lonely at the moment.
He looked out the window at the starry sky, which was constantly illuminated by the city's fireworks.
When the gorgeous fireworks bloom, they also outline the colors of the world.
But to Zhang Lingyuan, he was like a shadow wandering in this world.
He has been wandering for half his life, so he is said to have taken root in Qintian Prison.
He never told anyone about his family, and he rarely even mentioned his past.
But what is worth noting is that he is holding a box in his hand that looks a little special.
This box is only the size of a palm and has a complex structure like a Luban box. It is a mechanism that requires specific techniques to unlock.
There is a line of small words written on the box. The handwriting is elegant, but the content is clear and clear.
"The Milky Way rotates in the sky, and the curtain hangs on the world..."
Zhang Lingyuan always carries this box with him. When he is alone, he will try to dismantle the mechanism.
But every time it ended in failure, and over time, it became an inertia.
His slender fingers danced on the mechanism box, and this dazzling movement was accompanied by the pleasant sound of the mechanism.
If you put this box to your ear and listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of the dense gears inside.
The high mountains and green snow are the holy land on earth.
There is obviously a story behind Zhang Lingyuan, but at least so far, he has no idea of sharing this story with others.
On this night, some people were happy and some were sad, some were angry and some were worried.
Every team member has his own story, and everyone also has troubles that others don't know about.
But this did not prevent them from trying their best to adjust their mood, and then crossed their legs and fell into meditation, and the years passed as soon as they sat down.
……
After the New Year, the festive atmosphere did not dissipate, but continued for many days.
The customs of different places are different, and the things to do after the New Year are also different.
Long County has the most exquisite New Year customs. In the past, there was a folk song in Lao Long County:
"Children, don't be greedy, after Laba is the new year.
Laba porridge, drink for a few days, mile la la 23.
23. Tanggua sticky, 24. House cleaning, 25. Fried tofu, 26. Stewed mutton..."
After the New Year's Eve, people begin to look forward to the lively temple fair.
You can choose Yongle Temple in Dazhong Temple, Dazhong Baiyun Temple, touch the stone monkey, and see the money eye.
In addition, there is a more special rule in Long County, that is, the fifth day of the first lunar month is called Po Wu, and you cannot cook with uncooked rice before Po Wu.
In Shanghai, after the first day of the Lunar New Year, people have to put on new clothes and new shoes to worship heaven and ancestors in the hall, and then the young and old come together to pay New Year greetings to their parents.
Some places have to offer sacrifices to gods after the Chinese New Year, and some places have to honor ancestors.
In some places, ten temple incense must be burned, and in other places, nine-grade candles must be burned.
The country of Dayan has a vast territory, resulting in a spectacular scene with different styles and customs.
This kind of folk activities often lasts until after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before gradually quieting down.
After the Lantern Festival, it means that the New Year is completely over.
The adults are getting ready to get back into shape and start a busy year of work.
The children also began to worry about the unfinished homework during the winter vacation, and they should use some clever tricks to solve it.
The top leaders of various schools in Long County have even begun to organize meetings. After all, they have to respond to the call of the Department of Education and add a new subject this year, which is no small matter.
Early on the morning of January 1, the Longjun Education Department Office issued a notice.
"Notice on the staggered start of primary and secondary schools in the spring semester of 2024." 》
This notice clearly mentions the start time of each school age group.
普通中学高三年级于2024年2月5日星期六报到,2月6日星期日正式上课。
The third grade students will register on Sunday, February 2024, 2, and classes will officially begin on Monday, 6.
中学其他年级以及小学于2024年2月15日星期二报到,2月16日星期三正式上课。
The starting time of kindergarten is based on that of primary school.
With this clear notice of the start of school, senior leaders of various schools began to get busy.
The spring semester will also face the problem of welcoming new students, so the relevant teachers must go to the school in advance to make preparations.
Spring is coming, flowers are blooming, ice and snow are melting, the flavor of the new year is gradually receding, and people are beginning to return to normal life.
People who went home for the New Year began to return to the city one after another, and the empty streets became busy with traffic again.
Factories and companies are starting to resume operations one after another, and everything is gradually returning to normal.
Such a cycle seems to be formed every year, but it is this orderly cycle that constitutes a prosperous country.
Longjun No. 1909 Experimental Primary School is a century-old school founded in [-].
Four years ago, the primary school was recognized as one of the second batch of compulsory education schools in Long County that met the management standards.
The final pass rate for all students in the school is 100%.
This data is enough to make this primary school the benchmark for all primary schools in Long County.
Other schools are learning from this primary school’s management and teaching methods. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the direction indicator. Any new things must start from this school before they can be imitated and accepted by other schools.
Today is the first day of school for the Second Experimental Primary School, and a long queue has already formed in front of the school.
Parents hurriedly sent their children to school, and banners were hung at the school gate to welcome new students.
After nearly an hour of congestion, the street gradually became smoother, new students entered the school, and the school began to operate normally.
Children in Class [-], Grade [-], who have just entered school, are still panicking about this unfamiliar environment.
Some children still have tear stains on their faces, and the blush from crying has not faded yet.
At this moment, a figure walked into the classroom. This person was none other than Lin Mo, an academician of the Qintian Supervisory Law Department.
Various departments within the Qintian Prison have sent a large number of academicians to various schools. They will be stationed in the schools as lecturers in the early stages of the reform plan.
"Children, we are going to start class today..."
Lin Mo also obviously felt a little nervous. After all, he was facing a group of children. Unless he had experienced it personally, it would be difficult to understand.
According to the teaching plan, the foundation of folk mythology and history must be laid at the primary school level, especially for first-year students.
In the system-set lesson plans, the Department of Magical Arts can be used as the beginning of the course for teaching.
Of course, what is taught is nothing more than some theoretical knowledge. At the same time, in order to increase the fun and lay a good foundation, children will also be taught some methods of using pens.
The courses for the first and second grade students are relatively simple, but starting from the third grade, they already start practicing calligraphy in the first class.
The children looked curiously at the academician on the podium teaching how to use the brush on the blackboard, and they all felt very strange.
The academician drew a talisman on the blackboard in one go. Then he looked at the children and pointed at the talisman and said:
"Students, we are going to start practicing calligraphy today, and we will use this symbol to practice.
You may not know what this symbol is now, but it doesn’t matter. In our folk mythology history class, everyone will learn it gradually, but first, what we have to do is to lay a good foundation..."
The third-grade children nodded ignorantly, then picked up the brushes distributed aside and began to draw gourds and scoops on the paper.
The academician who taught the class came down very seriously to check one by one:
"Everyone must pay attention to not breaking the pen when writing. During the entire writing process, it is best to hold one breath and transport it from the Dantian to the hand to the tip of the pen, flowing like flowing water.
Watch your wrist...
This classmate shouldn’t be too strong..."
"It's okay. Don't be afraid if your pen breaks. It's inevitable when you first start practicing."
The children had never seen such a thing before, but they had been taught how to write hard-strokes by their Chinese teacher before.
But this spell made the children very curious. This kind of calligraphy was like drawing, and they had never seen it before.
Children are curious, and the more novel something is, the easier it is to get involved.
Seeing that the children had developed a very intuitive interest in this class, the academician who taught the class finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
In the next week, all primary schools in Quanlong County began full classes.
The morning reading is about mantras, and the calligraphy practice is about Taoist charms.
The lesson in class is about transforming the three pure states into one breath, and the inter-class exercises are a combination of Tai Chi and various Taoist techniques for cultivating the mind.
When Saturday and Sunday arrived, the children were all taken home by their parents. Because they had to care about their children's studies, many parents would dutifully take a look at their children while they were doing their homework.
But when they saw the homework done by their children, the parents were stunned.
"what are you doing?"
The child was holding a brush in his hand and sitting upright, but there was a spell drawn on the paper in front of him.
Even if parents don't understand it, they have seen the movie. This kind of spell is not uncommon in movies.
"Mom, this is the homework left by the teacher!"
This kind of conversation happens in many families, leaving many parents confused.
The other assignments are easy to understand, but what kind of course is using a brush to draw symbols?
And it was only then that parents learned that the school had actually added a new subject called History of Folklore Myths.
The basic stage of the history of national mythology is the use of brushes and drawing of spells.
As for those children in the fourth and fifth grades, those who are eager to learn will get up early in the morning to recite the text.
Parents will see this and feel very happy, bringing some fruits to them to supplement their children's nutrition.
But when they walked to the door of the child's room, they heard the sound of reciting from inside, and the fruit plate in the parent's hand almost fell to the ground.
"Pure water, sun and moon canopy. The Beidou is hidden in the middle, and the three platforms of Yin are hidden inside.
As soon as the divine water is sprinkled, the disgust and filth will disappear quickly.When pure water is sprinkled, misfortunes disappear and blessings come..."
This recitation sounded like a mantra, and the parents quickly opened the door and walked in. They saw that the child was holding a new textbook that he had never seen before. In the textbook was written the history of folk mythology, and the textbook was The cover depicts legendary gods.
This looks like an extracurricular book, but it is actually a textbook issued by the school.
The parent curiously took the textbook and flipped through it, only to realize that what the child had just recited was called the Mantra for Purifying the House.
Looking further, this book not only talks about how to clean a house and make it prosperous, but also basic knowledge such as Feng Shui talismans.
The more parents watched, the more confused they became, and they had no idea what was going on.
The same situation does not only occur in elementary school, but also in middle and high schools.
Except for the senior high school students who will take the college entrance examination this year, other students have already begun to take courses in the history of folklore and mythology, and the content taught is more profound than in elementary school.
"Students, this class on the history of folk mythology is mainly to let everyone know more about folk culture and the origin of our mythology in the Yan Kingdom.
From a scientific perspective, we can trace the cultural landscape of different periods through mythology.
Before starting the lecture, the teacher would like to ask the students what they know about mythology. "
"Teacher, I know Kuafu Zhuri!"
"Teacher, is Journey to the West a myth?"
"Teacher, I know Jingwei reclamation..."
The students answered the questions enthusiastically, and the academician who taught the class nodded happily:
"Very good, it seems that everyone usually reads some extracurricular books to supplement their knowledge.
But the myths we want to talk about are somewhat different from the ones you just knew. What we want to talk about are gods.
Please open the first lesson of the textbook, the chapter on immortals..."
"Do you know who has the highest status among the gods?"
"The Jade Emperor!"
"That's right, it's the Jade Emperor. Do you know what the Jade Emperor's full nickname is?
Do you know where he lives, what he looks like, and what kind of skills he has? "
Children are very enthusiastic about this novel course content, and the academicians who teach will naturally seize this opportunity to teach more knowledge to the children.
The primary school stage focuses on laying the foundation, while the junior high school stage begins to improve the system and establish a complete world view.
In this worldview, the gods really exist, and they all occupy their own places and have their own strengths.
In order not to impact children's current scientific concepts, these courses are still based on myths.
“The full name of the Jade Emperor is Taishang Kaitian Holding Talisman Yuli Hanzhenti Dao Jinque Tianmen Jiuqiong Jade Standing Ten Thousand Daos Wuwei Avenue Famous Palace Haotian Golden Tower Supreme Jade Emperor Pardoning Sins Great Heavenly Lord Leading the Heavenly God.
I know this name is very long, but you should remember it, you might get it during the exam.
According to mythological records, the Jade Emperor lives in the Haotian Golden Palace Miluo Heavenly Palace, and is also the highest-status god..."
The academician was speaking on the stage, and the students were recording carefully below.
For this kind of thing, children's enthusiasm is always high.
They are at the stage where they are curious about everything, so questions are naturally not uncommon in this kind of class.
Fortunately, the academicians who came to give lectures had been carefully prepared in advance, so they were able to answer these questions with ease.
In high school courses, the difficulty is naturally higher than in elementary and junior high schools. The sophomore students walked into a newly renovated classroom out of curiosity, only to find that there were several small plates on the table in the classroom. Something that I have no idea what it is.
Next to it was a black stove, which caught the eyes of many students.
"Isn't this the alchemy furnace in the movie?"
"Isn't this an old chemistry classroom before? Why has it become like this now?"
The students took their seats curiously, and the lecturer who came to teach soon walked away step by step, hunched over, stroking his beard.
"Students, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Quanbei, and I am the teacher of this new course on the history of folk mythology.
In your high school curriculum, the first lesson on the history of national mythology is to have a basic understanding of alchemy. "
"Alchemy?"
These words made all the students present widen their eyes. Children in their second year of high school already have certain judgment skills, so they were all confused.
<divclass="contentadv">In the history class before, they also knew something about alchemy. Many emperors would ask alchemists to make alchemy in order to find a way to live forever, but in that kind of course, alchemy was tantamount to fraud.
But now the second sentence the teacher said after taking the stage subverted their perceptions:
“Alchemy is the collective name for refining outer elixirs and inner elixirs.
As for Waidan, minerals are refined in an alchemy furnace to create elixirs.
Inner elixir, the human body is modeled as an alchemy furnace, which is used to cultivate the inner elixir by practicing methods such as refining essence, energy, and spirit.
Many experts use various secret methods to refine elixirs and consume them to make their sound and image quality Yang Qi.
As the saying goes, the breath of the dragon and tiger's womb means that the old and the old will embrace the new. This is the truth. "
"Now everyone, look at what you have in front of you. In terms that you can understand, alchemy has a lot to do with chemical reactions.
The larger one next to you is called the medicine furnace, and the one next to you is the alchemy furnace, the alchemy cauldron, the water sea, the pomegranate jar, the Hua Chi, and the grinder.
Today we won’t get started, just understand the basics.
After understanding the basic equipment, everyone must also know that the famous alchemy master is named Ge Hong, also known as Baopuzi.
In the process of refining alchemy, Baopuzi actually made many new discoveries. For example, he discovered that heating red mercury sulfide, that is, cinnabar, can separate mercury, and mercury plus sulfur can combine to form Mercury sulfide…”
In order to allow students to accept the course faster, during the teaching process, academicians will also add some modern knowledge that children already have at least to combine it, so as to help them understand better.
In fact, as the academicians had previously thought, great curiosity arose in the children's hearts.
They had never taken chemistry classes as seriously as they did now, especially when they looked at the various special equipment in front of them but had no idea of its use.
A group of young people who are full of hormones are eager to try it now. After all, in their impression, all the people who make alchemy in the movie are very good.
When this step is achieved, it also means that the course has started correctly.
If we can mobilize children's learning initiative, we can continue this class.
At the same time, lecture halls were also opened in the three most famous universities in Longjun, Magic City, and Yangcheng.
Three directors including Liu Tianyi personally served as lecturers and gave public lectures at well-known universities in three cities and counties.
There were not too many students who came this day, only about 30 people.
Moreover, these students were bored and saw relatively novel things like folk mythology and history, so they wanted to take a look out of curiosity.
Liu Tianyi stood on the podium, and the blackboard behind him was a hand-drawn celestial map.
A yellow line represents the ecliptic, and 28 points are marked near the ecliptic line.
These 28 points represent the 28 constellations. The college students looked at Liu Tianyi curiously. This was really the first time they heard this kind of lecture.
"The blue dragon is curled up on the left, and the fierce white tiger is on the right. Zhu Zai is flying in front, and the turtle is circling behind.
Classmates, what I just talked about are the four images that are often called in folklore.
The ancients divided the 28 stars in the sky into 4 parts according to the four directions of northeast, southwest, and each part contained 4 stars. According to the shapes of the 7 stars in each part, these four parts were named after 7 similar animals. They are called the four items or the four continents, and what we mainly understand today is the corresponding relationship between them..."
"The Eastern Qisu is like a giant dragon flying in the night sky in spring and early summer, so it is called Dongguan Canglong.
The seven places in the north are dominated by snakes and turtles in the night sky in late summer and early autumn, Beiguan Xuanwu.
The seven places in the south look like the red bird that appears in the sky in the cold winter and early spring, so it is called Nanguan red bird.
In the seven places in the west, fierce tigers leap out in late autumn and early winter, and are called Xiguan White Tigers..."
The students looked at each other in confusion as they listened, wondering, how could something like this appear in a university lecture?
It was mentioned in previous courses on astronomy, but it was not like now that a separate lecture hall was set up to teach it.
On the other side of the university in Shanghai, Zhang Daoyi has also started giving lectures on Feng Shui theory.
This class is obviously much more eye-catching than astrology. After all, Feng Shui is already known to everyone and is still cloaked in mystery.
Therefore, many students came to attend the public lectures, more than a hundred people.
Before class, Zhang Daoyi had a phone call with Liu Tianyi.
After knowing that there were only a few dozen students there, I felt much better during class.
"Students, I am very happy that you can come to this public lecture on folk mythology and Feng Shui theory. I am the main lecturer Zhang Daoyi.
Speaking of Feng Shui, everyone must have heard of it more or less, and this should be regarded as the most well-known Yi Xue.
Feng Shui has a cultural history of more than 6000 years, and it took shape in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
After thousands of years of inheritance and development, Feng Shui today has formed an applied philosophy with a theoretical system and a basis for learning.
After learning Feng Shui well, you can also spy on the secrets of heaven like the movie says, so just sitting here today is actually half the success. "
Zhang Daoyi's teaching methods are relatively humorous, and the classroom atmosphere is also very harmonious.
“Feng Shui is classified according to techniques, and there are actually only two types, namely Kanyu and Xiangdi.
Everyone can learn it in my lectures, so there is no need to worry. Today we are just going to learn some basic Feng Shui knowledge that you must know.
The two most important things in Feng Shui are already reflected in the name. Its core concepts are wind and water.
Wind is actually energy and field, and water is flow and change.
In fact, the environment we live in is full of Feng Shui. Just like this lecture hall, it is built from the north to the south, with the door opening to the southeast. It is located at the literary star of the entire university.
And setting up a lecture hall in this place for everyone to learn and impart knowledge is called the harmony of Feng Shui.
Studying here can easily make everyone feel like they are being helped by a god. "
"Teacher, why do I have such a hard time every morning when I come to class?"
A naughty student made a joke, which immediately attracted laughter from many people.
Zhang Daoyi was not in a hurry, looked at him with a peaceful smile and said:
"That only shows that the bed feng shui in your dormitory is stronger than here, and it also proves that you are lazy."
There was another burst of laughter, and Zhang Daoyi used this method to invisibly get closer to the students.
The progress of the course naturally became smoother and smoother. More and more students participated and interacted with it. Among the questions they raised, there were some that made Zhang Daoyi's eyes shine.
"Teacher, how significant is Feng Shui in real life?
In other words, if I hold a Gatling with infinite bullets in my hand, then even if I stay in a haunted house with the worst feng shui, it won't seem to have any impact. "
"This classmate asked a good question, but have you ever thought that when you hold Gatling in your hand, your own feng shui also changes?
Gatling, in the true sense, should be of metal, metal is yang and haunted house is yin.
You are a boy. Although I don’t know if you are a boy, your yang energy will be strengthened by holding Gatling.
When yang energy is stronger than yin energy, you also change the feng shui of your environment.
Don’t forget what I said just now that Feng Shui is fluid and changing..."
"Teacher, if I can't catch up with the girl I like, can I change my feng shui to do it?"
“This is not a question of Feng Shui, this is a question of magic.
The next class should be taught by my good friend Mr. Yun Daozi. You can ask him about the science of magic.
But you don’t advocate this idea. No matter how good something is, it’s called heresy if it’s used in the wrong place. "
During the interaction between Zhang Daoyi and the students, the atmosphere in the classroom became more and more harmonious.
When Zhang Daoyi began to teach professional knowledge about Feng Shui, the students accepted it very quickly.
Interest is indeed the best teacher.
At the same time, Yun Daozi, who was far away at a well-known university in Yangcheng, faced the same dilemma as Liu Tianyi, with only a few dozen people.
However, Yun Daozi is not discouraged. After all, this is the first lesson, and everyone has different acceptance levels.
But he believes that through the influence of his courses, this situation will definitely change when the next class starts.
Yun Daozi's course started with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a strange book that was once controversial in the academic field.
This book has been controversial for thousands of years, and it can be regarded as the most mysterious pre-Qin book in Dayan Kingdom.
This book is full of monsters, ghosts, gods, and anecdotes, and it describes in very specific terms the astronomy, geography, customs, technology, medicine, and even witchcraft and religion of the ancient Yan Kingdom.
There have been some lectures on the Classic of Mountains and Seas in universities before, but those lectures only used a scientific perspective to explore the value of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the equivalence of the thoughts of the sages who participated in the Contest of One Hundred Schools of Thought, and to engage in ideological and philosophical collisions.
But today's lecture is completely different. Yun Daozi hopes to start from this perspective and make all students gradually realize that there is a side of the world that they do not understand.
“The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Hai Nei Nan Jing records that there is a tree, its shape is like an ox, and its skin is like a tassel, like a yellow snake.
Its leaves are like Luo, actually like Luan, and its wood is like sandalwood.It is called Jianmu, and it is on the west weak water.
Does anyone know what this refers to? "
Facing the question from the Taoist Master, the students looked at each other in confusion, because they had always regarded the Classic of Mountains and Seas as a myth. How could it possibly be something real?
But soon a picture was posted on the PPT behind him, and then he pointed at the picture and said to the students:
"Look at this picture, the curved branches look like horns.
This thing is a bronze sacred tree unearthed in Sanxingdui not long ago. It has 9 branches, and a bronze bird is installed on the top of each branch.
In addition, there are bronze bells hanging on some branches and carved with bronze dragon patterns.
After detailed research, many experts believe that the prototype of the Sanxingdui bronze sacred tree is the sacred tree recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which is the Jianmu I just mentioned. "
"Look further down, everyone, the Book of Mountains and Seas also mentions that there was a prince of Shu, Cancong, whose eyes were vertical, and he became king.
The silkworm bush mentioned here means clairvoyance, and the corresponding one is the bronze mask unearthed before Sanxingdui.
Look at this bronze mask. The eyes are connected by bronze rods. In ancient times, it meant clairvoyance. "
The originally noisy classroom environment gradually became quiet, and curiosity gradually appeared on the students' faces.
Indeed, it is just that the descriptions of the ancients are relatively obscure and profound, but with pictures as evidence, it seems that all this really forms a coincidence in a certain sense.
Or in other words, is this really a coincidence?
Looking at the students' reactions, Yun Daozi knew that his goal had been achieved. He used the simplest method to successfully attract the students and make them curious about this class.
"Students, we will not explain the meaning behind this class for the time being. We just want everyone to see the world from another perspective.
We have always said that we should have a scientific attitude towards everything, but in this class, I hope everyone can put aside this view temporarily.
It is undeniable that the development of science has promoted the progress of the world, but is the culture passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years really meaningless?
It is self-contradictory to use a century of science to explore a culture that is thousands of years old.
So let’s put aside your prejudices and let’s learn about a more exciting world. We won’t judge whether it’s true or false, but maybe some students will find something out of it. "
Yun Daozi's words just kicked off the class. College students are naturally much more accepting of these things than other school-age children.
All aspects seem to be developing steadily step by step, and curriculum reform has also taken the crucial first step.
But don’t forget that reform often means controversy. After nearly half a month of fermentation, some inevitable problems still emerged.
The controversy started in Shanghai, when a netizen posted a post. This post appeared and immediately caused a stir.
"I would like to ask, what exactly does the No. [-] Middle School in Shanghai think?
Suddenly, a course on the history of folklore and mythology was added. My child was already tired from studying and was overwhelmed by several subjects.
Junior high school is a very important stage, and it is necessary to lay a good foundation for the future college entrance examination. As we all know, the college entrance examination is the lowest-cost way to change your destiny.
But it happened that at this time, No. [-] Middle School added a course on the history of folk mythology. I want to know what the significance of this is?
Children now no longer have to memorize history and geography every day, but also have to memorize some weird spells.
Hasn’t this kind of feudal superstition been abandoned long ago?How can I move it to the school?
Please ask the leaders of the Education Department to pay attention and give us parents an explanation. "
Obviously, this parent always believed that adding a course on the history of folklore and mythology was just an independent act of the No. [-] Middle School in Shanghai.
But what he didn't expect was that the series of comments completely made things go out of control.
"Huh? Your school in Magic City also has this kind of course. I thought it was only our school like this.
Our Qishan Primary School in Longjun also added a course on the history of folk mythology. That day, I was very pleased to see my child practicing calligraphy with a brush, but when I got closer, I saw that he was using a brush to draw talismans! "
“I am from Yangjun County, and my son came home in his second year of high school and clamored for me to buy him books on traditional Chinese medicine.
I was also wondering why my child suddenly became interested in Chinese medicine when he was obviously studying science.
After careful questioning, I found out that my child was learning alchemy at school! "
"This is also the case in our Long County. It turns out that it's not just one or two schools, but all schools?"
"What are you talking about here? I am from Jinhai County, and I have never heard of any courses on the history of folk mythology.
Are you guys hyping this up? "
Netizens from other cities and counties also came to join in the fun, but as more and more people participated, netizens gradually discovered the problem.
Most of the netizens who claim that the school has added folk mythology and history courses are from Longjun, Yangjun and Magic City.
And from the fierce verbal and written criticisms from netizens, it is not difficult to see that this newly added folk myth is indeed a bit outrageous.
In class, the teacher led the children to practice calligraphy by drawing talisman, reciting spells, and learning about strange powers and chaos. Naturally, this caused a great sensation in a short period of time.
Parents in middle school and high school are even more angry. They regard the college entrance examination as the biggest thing in life. How can they tolerate such a bad situation?
"I read the homework given to my son by the school, and the questions asked were basically what to do if a ghost hits the wall, and what does it mean if the incense burns out in the cemetery?
The most annoying thing is that for the two big questions at the end of the paper, you are given a scenario and you have to write down how to use the cinnabar charm.
I want to know what the school is cultivating, is it cultivating magicians?
Who will be responsible for delaying my son's future? "
Parents who didn't understand the reason became more and more angry the more they talked.
Especially after learning that the course on the history of folklore and mythology was mainly for Sancheng County, the pressure was naturally put on the relevant schools and the relevant education departments.
On this day, the telephone numbers of the academic affairs offices of various schools were almost inundated with angry voices from parents.
They all asked the school to give an explanation, what is the meaning of doing this, and even wondered what the school's intentions were.
The principals from all sides were under great pressure for a while, and they finally realized what it meant to cry without tears.
To put it bluntly, what does this matter have to do with our school?
We are also following the instructions of the Department of Education.
You don't call the Secretary of Education to ask for an explanation, but instead ask our school for an explanation. Is there any natural reason for this?
But in fact, the Department of Education's telephone number has been busy for a long time due to too many incoming calls.
The operators in the Department of Education had to maintain a professional attitude, maintain a smile, and use the gentlest tone to answer, but they had to bear the emotional and emotional accusations from many parents.
This incident once caused a sensation on the entire Internet. Netizens from other cities and counties participated in the discussion with the attitude of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously.
"Big cities are just different. The speed of social development is beyond the imagination of small citizens like us."
“I remember when I was a child, when I was walking through the school corridors, I could hear the sound of reading being read loudly from various classrooms.
Will there be sounds of chanting sutras and mantras everywhere when you enter school now? "
"In the past, when I was playing in the playground, when I was a child, I would pick up tree branches and play the role of a hero. Now, do I have to act like a fairy, forming formations and casting spells?"
Parents saw these teasing voices and naturally became even more angry. More and more parents spontaneously gathered at the school and demanded an explanation from the school leaders.
The principals of each school had to bite the bullet, being surrounded by parents, and had to appease the parents' emotions.
Seeing that things are spreading faster and faster, it is almost out of control.
This is the risk that reform requires. No reform can go smoothly.
Because reform means change, and this change is often unacceptable.
As the ancients said, the human eyes of the world cannot see the front but not the back, and can see light but not darkness.
The level of pressure from the public has made the education ministers of the three major cities and counties also begin to feel anxious.
Although they had thought that the public would definitely have public opinion, they did not expect that such public opinion would be so intense.
The roads near the school have long been blocked, and all schools in the three major cities and counties have been severely affected.
At this time, people did not realize that adding folk mythology was a national policy. In their minds, this was probably a unilateral decision by the school or the Department of Education...
