Chapter Thirteen The Unparalleled Teacher's Virtue
Pei Min's words made more than a hundred literati whisper one after another.
Pei Xingben is well known.
The Winter Secretary of the Wu Zetian Dynasty was also the prime minister and served as a minister with Di Renjie.
Although he is far less famous than Di Renjie, he has done a lot of things for the world.
But they have never heard of who Liu Xing is.
Pei Min smiled and said, "Most of Mr. Pei should have heard of it, and there is no need to explain it in detail. You don't need to guess Liu Xing. He is not a big shot, but a very ordinary teacher. When it comes to talent and knowledge, almost all of you present are better than him."
Pei Min's words were once again confused and the discussion was even louder. According to this, wouldn't everyone present be a great scholar? This great scholar is too cheap?
"Don't think that great scholars are cheap, but Mr. Liu has no talent, but not just the lower class. In my mother's memory, in the memory of the oldest person in the village, Mr. Liu taught and educated people in the county at the age of 20 until he left Youzhou. He was still teaching in the school. Later, my top scholar in high school took my mother to Chang'an, chatted with him, and even said specifically that he was still there. I believe that if he is in good health at this moment, if he is in good health, he will definitely educate people in the school and guide people upward."
"In my memory, Mr. Liu's family is average and he can barely survive, but he never raised his tuition fees at a price that others have accepted. Fifty years have passed, and he has been like this. His students have changed batch after batch, but he always insists on his post. Just ten years ago, a filial student had a future and did not forget his teacher's kindness, intending to take him to enjoy his old age. But he refused for him, and he said, 'He is gone, what should these children who want to read?' You should have heard of this student, it is Liu Youqiu, the left prime minister, Xu Guogong....."
Speaking of Liu Youqiu, this instantly caused a sensation.
Liu Youqiu's name is well known to everyone.
Before he died of illness, he was the first confidant of the current emperor Li Longji. He planned the feat of expelling Empress Wei in the Tanglong coup, the remnants of the Wu family, and supporting Emperor Ruizong of Tang.
Liu Youqiu was not only resourceful and good at decisiveness, but also had a good literary talent, which was admired by the scholars. However, he did not expect that his enlightenment mentor was actually an unknown person.
"Not being moved by fame and fortune, wealth cannot be lustful, poverty and humbleness cannot be moved. For more than fifty years, we have always been upward. We are truly a man with unparalleled teacher ethics. Who can compare with such a person? Who is doing this? Who can ask yourself how to do this as Mr. Liu?"
"I think that I can't just talk about talent, but it depends on what he did and how he is! No matter how talented he is, what is the use of Yang Xiong? It's just that there is one more despicable minister in the world! Why can't Mr. Liu be named a great scholar in his education?"
Pei Min said excitedly, all the people in the cave were silent and speechless.
Scholars pursue fame and fortune more seriously than martial artists.
Therefore, there have been literati who have been rude since ancient times. In this way, how can they compare to Liu Xing, a noble person with noble character?
Gan Xu was excited when he heard this.
He did not have the moral character of Liu Xing that he did not pursue fame and fortune, but he would pay special attention to "education" when it arrived.
Pei Min's remarks were deeply loved by him.
Pei Min continued: "Sage Confucius achieved countless achievements in his lifetime, with 72 sages of Confucius and 3,000 disciples. But his true disciples started and stopped these 3,000 people? He was the first great sage to propose teachings and was the first saint to spread education, and the first tutor to publicize knowledge. He distributed knowledge to his disciples, and his three thousand disciples to spread culture to three thousand, three thousand and three thousand, which is the prosperity of Confucianism today."
"Therefore, the following people think that talent and learning are important, but the importance of education should be higher than that. Taking into account both of them, then it will be better. People who think that talent can be said to be famous scholars, and their talent is prominent! But a true great scholar should be like a saint Confucius, possessing the merits of education, rather than being high above and out of reach!"
"Today is a gathering of scholars, so let's start with the lottery! Let's praise those great scholars who are unknown but educated and great virtues!"
"Four times of spring weather,
Several autumn rains wash away the gap.
Black frost weaves the sun and the moon,
The ink pen is silently written about the Spring and Autumn Period.
The silk is spit out and the spring is not old.
The tears of candles turn into ashes and fall becomes thicker.
Three thousand peaches and plums in spring,
Autumn comes and fruits fill China."
This is a "Ode to Teachers" written by Pei Min in later generations. He has forgotten who the author is. The author has collected poems by poets, famous artists, and adapted by poems by Li Shangyin, Du Fu, and Tao Xingzhi.
This poem may not be very clever, but it has profound meaning.
As soon as Pei Min finished speaking, he instantly aroused a loud applause.
Especially Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Wei and others, they all knew Pei Min’s next plan.
Today, Hexi is full of Hu people's customs and Western culture, but its own Tang Dynasty culture is relatively weak and has an imbalance.
As the territory of the Tang Dynasty, I have not done enough culture. How can I influence and assimilate the surrounding areas?
The top priority of Hexi's education is also the next goal of Hexi administration.
With this poem, plus today's words, the road to education in Hexi will be smooth.
Several people thought about Pei Min’s opening remarks and could not speak. This is not called being unable to speak, so they should not speak too well.
From the reflection, it can be seen that almost everyone has conquered Pei Min's words, thinking that he may not become a famous scholar in his life, so why don't he advance to a great scholar? Maybe he will teach Liu Youqiu, that is, he will succeed.
When a gathering of famous scholars is nothing more than drinking and lying on tribute.
The comprehensive level of culture in Hexi is not high, and the poems and essays they produce are naturally uneven.
In comparison, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, Wang Zhihuan, and Wang Han felt that they were outstanding and were highly praised by most people.
Pei Min is naturally happy about this.
Pei Min walks around here and there, which also reflects his kindness to the people.
At this time, Wang Zhihuan pulled someone to Pei Min and said, "Pei Shuai, introduce someone to you, Fang Gang met Gao Shi, Gundam..."
Pei Min originally thought that there was a Wang Han who was worth the trip, but he didn't expect another Gao Shi to come.
Gao Shi is even more outstanding than Wang Han. He, together with Cen Shen, Wang Changling and Wang Zhihuan, were collectively known as the "Four Poets of the Frontier". His poems are vigorous and vigorous, full of the spirit of the times that are unique to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Of course, what he said was not literary achievements, but military studies.
Gao Shi was one of the few famous poets of the Tang Dynasty who was well-versed in military strategies. He also served as the governor of Huainan and led troops to attack Yongwang Lin.
Now his aides Zhang Jiuling, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, and Wang Zhihuan are mostly administrative talents, and their military strategy is mediocre. Only Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian have made some achievements in this regard. In general, they are still good at administration.
