The arrangement of ancient Chinese books was from top to bottom, from right to left, mainly related to bamboo slips. The earliest Chinese characters were oracle bone inscriptions, engraved on turtle shells. Later, it was developed to write on bamboo slips and make books.

Because bamboo slips are made of bamboo slices one by one, the ancients recorded the words on bamboo slices, which meant writing from top to bottom, and then binding the bamboo slices one by one, which formed ancient books recorded in bamboo slips. Later, after the invention of paper, the Chinese were used to this way of recording, so they could not change it. Therefore, ancient books were from top to bottom, from right to left.

Western writing was first recorded on stone slabs or clay slabs made of soil. There were also oracle bone inscriptions in the West, which recorded pictographic characters. Later, oracle bone inscriptions developed into letters. Later, after the emergence of ink in the West, Westerners began to write on sheepskin with quills. Later, with the development of ancient Greek mathematics and physics, various formulas appeared in the West. The ancient Greeks used quills and used purple ink to write various mathematical and physical formulas on parchment.

As Chinese papermaking was introduced to the West, Westerners had become accustomed to the arrangement from left to right, so the ancient Western literature I saw later also went from left to right.

Another point is that Western characters are combined with letters. If you adopt the Chinese style from top to bottom and from right to left, it will become very different.

However, in mathematics, the West is indeed ahead of the East. Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences. Physics and chemistry require mathematics as the foundation. With mathematics, you can calculate various physical and chemical formulas.

The emergence of Arabic numerals has made mathematical calculations much simpler. Various physical and chemical formulas must be made with Arabic numerals. Using Arabic numerals for formula calculations must also be in line with the international level, using a arrangement from left to right.

Therefore, the teaching reform carried out by Zhao Peng first must be reformed from the order of text arrangement, and the original traditional Chinese text arrangement order is changed to the order of left to right, so as to meet the needs of future scientific development.

Wang Jincai wrote five big words on the white wooden board, and then pointed at the words on the board with a teaching stick: "Students, everyone read with me: We are Han people! We, yes, Han people!"

Zhao Peng's concept is not yet ahead of the floor to promote simplified characters, so the classroom teaching still uses traditional Chinese characters. However, the content of the teaching on the first day was to let students know some simple characters.

Wang Jincai taught the students word by word, but he did not rush to let the students learn to write on paper, but told stories to the students first.

"Classmates!" Wang Jincai opened his voice and said loudly, "Since the Jisi Incident in the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu has invaded the Central Plains again and again, and robbed our Ming Dynasty! He burned, killed and plundered, and committed all kinds of evil, killed a large number of northern Han people, robbed countless property, and abducted a large number of people. What did the abducted people go? Go and be slaves for them!"

As he said that, Wang Jincai wrote four words: Jian, Zhu, Nu, and Li on the board, and then taught the students one by one.

During the teaching process, Wang Jincai told some real stories that happened in the north, the tragic scenes of the Han people under the iron hooves of Jiannu. Through these stories told by Wang Jincai, the souls of the students were greatly touched and these young students developed hatred against foreign enemies from their hearts.

In the classroom, a wall clock was hung on the writing board. In the Ming Dynasty, wall clocks are no longer rare. Zhao Peng sent a group of Jinyiwei to Haojing and hired a group of foreign craftsmen to come to the Ming Dynasty to be responsible for producing clocks and watches. Now, clocks and clocks have become popular. With clocks, you can better grasp the time.

Each class is fifty minutes, and the break is ten minutes. There are three classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon. In the first class, Wang Jincai taught the students to write the nine words "We are Han people" and "Jianlu, Slave". He first explained the meaning of these words, and then asked the students to write on the paper by themselves in front of the words on the white writing board on the podium.

Wang Jincai was still very patient. When he found that some students had incorrect strokes, he came up to correct them patiently.

Soon, the first class passed, and after ten minutes of rest, the second class began. The five classes on the first day were all Chinese. After the second class began, Wang Jin wiped off the words on the writing board and let the students write all the nine words they just said on paper.

Most students have learned these words, and only a few people still can't write them. However, the progress of the lecture is not waiting for a few poor students. Next, Wang Jin started to talk about the Three Character Classic.

The Three Character Classic is the basis of traditional Chinese primary education. In ancient Chinese people, they all started with the Three Character Classic. In addition to letting teachers introduce themselves, there is also a very important point to cultivate students' nationalism, inspiring national feelings and patriotic education.

But to really learn to learn literacy, we should start with the simple Three Character Classic.

The last two classes in the morning taught the Three Character Classic.

After class at noon, the students did not go home, but instead had dinner in the cafeteria of the school.

It was time for dinner, which was the happiest moment of the day for the children. Xiaoya followed her classmates and ran into the cafeteria quickly. After two classes, she had already met several male and female classmates.

The students’ lunch is paid by the parents, and each student pays one cent of the meal every month, and the school provides lunch at noon.

When they walked into the cafeteria, each student received the tableware purchased by the school, and then lined up in an orderly manner to wait in front of the food-making window. Everyone was in a very orderly manner. If there were students who were in line, they would be taken out by the staff of the cafeteria and sent them to the head teacher Wang Jincai. For students who violated the rules, the head teacher was not ruthless and would use a ruler to hit the palm of his hand.

Zhao Peng did not object to the teacher hitting students with a ruler, because he also believed that the creed of filial sons emerged under the stick. For boys, they had to be beaten from childhood. Only by hitting them can they have a memory and know what can be done and what cannot be done, so that they will not grow up to be a naughty child.

For girls, the standards should be relaxed appropriately. After all, girls in this era have been traditional Chinese education since childhood, and they pay great attention to fame and chastity. If it were a school in later generations, Zhao Peng believed that if girls should not become sensual girls or young girls, they should be beaten when they should be beaten. Only by hitting can they know what can be done and what can't be done.

However, girls in this era have very traditional thoughts, and there is no need to use violent beatings to make them remember. It is only a few years later that they may have to use various means of punishment, but it is not necessary at present.

The food costs 10 cents a month, and it is responsible for lunch. The food in the canteen is quite good at noon. Children's food needs to be nutritious, but it cannot be too greasy. Therefore, the main food at noon is rice, and the dish is steamed eggs with shrimp peels, a stir-fried cucumber slices, a braised pork braised dried beans, and a stir-fried cabbage.
