Chapter 2384 Qi Tongwen: Books and writings are also

When the country encourages learning and cultivating talents, it is necessary to use it for me (our dynasty) and assist me (our dynasty) in style and teaching. All envoys (professors) understand the purpose of the scriptures and practice the art of kings and dominance.

Let the world be virtuous and handsome, and cultivate economic careers in a consistent manner, take education as the heart, follow the door of saints, and become the tools of kings and assistants.

Therefore, I think...

In the evening, Fan Zhongyan didn't even have to eat late, so he stayed in the study, feeling like he would not finish writing the letters or rest.

Looking at Fan Zhongyan's past resume, the most influential period of his study at Juyang Academy was the one who was studying.

Juyang Academy, Bailudong Academy, Yuelu Academy, and Songyang Academy have become the four major academies of the Northern Song Dynasty.

(PS: The fundamental reason why the four major academies are famous is the concern of the emperor. During the reign of Taiping Xingguo (Taizong), Bailudong Academy was awarded the "Nine Classics" of the Imperial College during the reign of Taiping Xingguo (Taizong).

During the Zhidao period (Taizong), Songyang Academy was awarded the plaque "Taishi Academy" and the Imperial College "Nine Classics"

Yuelu Academy was awarded the "Nine Classics" for the Imperial College during the Xianping period (Zhenzong). During the Dazhong Xiangfu period, he was awarded the plaque of the imperial court.

Juyang (Yingtian) Academy was awarded a plaque during the Xianping period.

In the imperial society, the emperor is the biggest variable. Other academies are not outstanding enough, but they are not famous, and are only famous in the local area. For example, Yuelu Academy was famous only after receiving the imperial plaque.)

Therefore, many of the letters written by Fan Zhongyan were obtained by reference to Juyang Academy.

However, Juyang Academy should now be called "Yingtian Academy".

Juyang Academy is located in Songcheng County, Songzhou. In the second year of Jingde (1005), Emperor Zhenzong of Song was grateful to Songzhou as the "land of dragon prosperity" of Taizu.

Therefore, an edict was issued to upgrade Songzhou to "Yingtian Prefecture". In the seventh year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1014), Yingtian Prefecture was upgraded again and became the capital of the Song Dynasty, and was called "Nanjing".

The predecessor of Juyang Academy was Nandu Academy. It was founded in the Later Jin Dynasty (936-946) period and was founded by the local celebrity Yang Que (que four tones).

At first, the Nandu School was just a very small private school, and it was not until it was funded by an official at that time that it developed day by day.

At the same time, Nandu Academy also inherited the tradition of collecting books in Lizheng Academy in the Tang Dynasty and built a library with more than a thousand volumes of books.

(Analogy until now, it is probably equivalent to a large library with a million books)

However, what really made the Nandu Academy famous all over the world was Yang Xu's disciple - Qi Tongwen.

Qi Tongwen was born in the late Tang Dynasty. At that time, the world was full of wars. The Nandu Academy located in the heart of the Central Plains was also a place of four battles.

Feeling that the world was turbulent and the lives were in trouble, Qi Tongwen was unwilling to become an official.

Of course, Qi Tongwen longed for unification in his heart, because the country was unified, so that the people could live a stable life.

In fact, the name of Qi Tongwen is not called "Tongwen". This is the name he later changed, and the meaning is also very straightforward.

The same text is taken from the "Book and Text".

Under Qi Tongwen's control, Juyang Academy ranked 560th, one of which the most well-known ascended the throne was Sun He, the top scholar in Chunhua for three years.

(PS: This refers to the time in the book. Fan Zhongyan is not famous all over the world yet)

Since then, Juyang Academy has become famous all over the world.

Although Qi Tongwen had passed away when Fan Zhongyan was studying, most of the rules and regulations in the academy were left by Qi Tongwen.

Qi Tongwen was also the person who had the greatest influence on Fan Zhongyan.

The academic style of Juyang Academy is "happy with the world, worry with the world" (from Mencius). This is also the source of Fan Zhongyan's famous line "Worry before the world, and after the world's happiness."

There is no doubt that Fan Zhongyan is definitely the most outstanding disciple of Juyang Academy. He inherited Qi Tongwen's will and carried it forward.

With the moon in the sky, Fan Zhongyan finally stopped his writing and a letter that was both verbal and practical was freshly released.

In this note, Fan Zhongyan outlined from shallow to deeper how an official school should operate.

First of all, the most important thing is the mountain director (dean).

A snake cannot do without a head, a good mountain leader can set the foundation for success for a college.

Secondly, the chief of the mountain is just a person after all, and he will definitely not be able to take care of all aspects. He should be equipped with several assistant teachers to assist the chief of the mountain to manage daily necessities in the academy.

At the same time, the professors are also very important, and teachers are also taught and answered questions.

Finally, although the servile staff were inconspicuous, whether a college could do well was inseparable from the assistance of the concierge, Zhaifu, Huofu and others.

Of course, the above is only institutional.

In addition to a good system, a college also requires financial and material resources.

Without an economic foundation, everything is a castle in the air.

On this point, Fan Zhongyan drew on the experience of Bailudong Academy and Yingtian Academy and proposed to establish the "School Field" system.

The imperial court gave the school land and then rented the land to other farmers to cultivate, and the output was mainly used to maintain the expenses of the academy.

The official grants to the school are not unacceptable.

As early as the Southern Tang Dynasty, Bailu Cave Academy received funding from the court and was the earliest prototype of the school-field system.

Similarly, part of the academic fields of Yingtian Academy were also personally given by the Song court.

Now, Fan Zhongyan has only proposed it separately, hoping that the court can use the two major academies as examples to promote the world.

After all, land is a fixed asset. Only with land can academy establish a foundation without relying on occasional gifts from wealthy households.

The last content of the letter is about collecting books, which is also a point that Fan Zhongyan emphasized.

He suggested that it is best for the imperial court to take the lead and the imperial court will publish the official textbooks together.

The book and the text are also the original meaning of the text.

The reason why Fan Zhongyan suggested this was not for the sake of the "Taotong", but just to give poor children more hope to the imperial examination path.

There were more than 300 prefectures in the Song Dynasty, and not every place had a unique environment like Yingtian Academy.

There are many remote places, and even books are missed.

The book of a sage, which means a subtle meaning, may be a completely different word.

What's the use of reading a wrong book, even if a genius is a genius?

Fan Zhongyan has a deep understanding of this.

When he was young, he read many missed versions and old versions of the scriptures. He did not see the truth until he went to Yingtian Academy to study.

He spent at least ten times the time to correct his past mistakes.

Books that understand the principles of classics and understand the principles of literature and misunderstanding should not become stumbling blocks on the path of the imperial examination for poor families.

Only by feeling can one feel the same.

For this reason, he took the risk of saying "the book is the same as the book".

The dispute over Taoism is the most bloody. No matter which school of thought, it hopes to become a prominent school. If it can be endorsed by the court, the school will definitely soar to the sky.

Fan Zhongyan knew very well what kind of huge waves this letter would cause. In order to gain the "right to speak", all the university schools would inevitably "never die".

And as the initiator of this matter, how could he stay out of the matter?

It is not impossible to attack it in groups.

It is no secret that he studied at Juyang Academy. If things really develop to that point, other schools of thought may be likely to be attacked by him except those from Juyang Academy.
