Chapter 133: The student worships Mr. Xin
After breakfast, Confucius began to prepare again: let the students in the school kneel and worship Mr. Xin.
He moved the incense table to the front of the middle of the "school" outside, and spread a seat in the place where the small blackboard was usually placed under the eaves, ready for Mr. to sit. When all the students came, the ceremony began.
On the table in front of the gentleman's seat, I am ready to eat fried millet and other food. Because there is no preparation, there is no fruit or anything like that. Originally! In front of the gentleman, he wants to put tea, fruits, snacks and other food, which is equivalent to the meaning of offering.
The incense case is placed in front of the table, and the incense burned before Confucius was apprenticed. Wait! When worshipping the gentleman, burn the incense again.
The incense of the Zhou Dynasty, a pure natural material, has the effect of purifying the air. Unlike modern incense, many modern incense is made from chemical raw materials. Not only does it not purify the air, but it also pollutes the air. Long-term inhalation of this fragrance is harmful to the human body.
Burning incense has been popular since the time of King Wen of Zhou, and after King Wu of Zhou unified the world, incense must be burned during sacrifices. When important events are held, there is generally a habit of burning incense and offering sacrifices to the gods.
Before the Zhou Dynasty, there was the custom of burning incense. It's just that! Originally, it was not this incense of modern society, but it was burned, and later it evolved into a special incense.
Burning produces fireworks, and the ancients believed that they could go to heaven and make the gods know the prayers of the world as quickly as possible. Later, it was made into incense similar to that of modern society, which can be regarded as the progress of civilization.
Some people arbitrarily believe that incense was introduced to China with Buddhism, but it is obvious that it has not been seriously researched and is false. Just like liquor, it is said that it was first invented and introduced by foreign countries.
If there is no clear record in the domestic history books but there is a record in a foreign country, it is characterized as a foreign invention.
Wine has been invented, how far is it from liquor?
Baijiu is just one more distillation on the basis of traditional liquor. Perhaps the ancestors thought that the liquor was too powerful and easy to hurt people and was not allowed to be produced? Or! What about reluctance to produce liquor because of food habits?
It's the same as people in cold regions and people in the tropics: people in cold regions like to drink high liquor. People in the southern subtropical region like to drink low-alcohol liquor. If the alcohol content is high, it is easy to get drunk and small, and it is easy to get angry.
Worshipping the teacher and burning incense is a sign of respect for the teacher. It is also a respect for ancestors and gods. At the time! It is the most solemn ceremony.
Everything was ready, and Confucius's two sisters-in-law came over with Fang Zhong and Fang Shu.
When the two of them saw this, they didn't know what was going on.
Knowing that it was an apprenticeship, both of them felt fresh.
After a while, the students arrived. Confucius, as the principal of the school, began to hold the ceremony of worshipping Mr.
Min Shigong studied Zhou rites, and under his guidance, Confucius worshipped Mr. according to this procedure.
First, he invited the gentleman out and sat upright. And then! Incense was burned, and the letter of appointment was read. And then! Start prostrating!
Confucius, as the principal, knelt in the front row. Others! Follow Confucius on both sides and behind.
Lege did not participate in kneeling, hiding in the house to peek and snicker.
Qi Guanshi scolded him a few words, and when he saw that he was disobedient, he forgot it.
Confucius didn't pay attention to Le Ge at all, he didn't have time to fight with Le Ge, and he didn't want to fight with him.
Out of the nature of ancient people, the wolf sister also participated in the kneeling worship.
For sir! The more people who bow down, the greater his prestige, the more face and sense of accomplishment.
Lege didn't come to bow down, he didn't care. One! Lege is a fool. Two! In general, students and parents participate in the prostration. It doesn't matter if other people participate in prostration.
If people don't sincerely bow down to you, can you force it? Forced to bow down, there is no sincerity.
Confucius's two sisters-in-law naturally also participated in the bowing. Although they are literate and can teach primary school children, they can't teach them in the upper grades. Now Confucius has invited the real gentleman, so! They also want to worship and learn from him.
They are idlers, and they come to teach mainly to bring their sons.
With Mr., they can also take the opportunity to learn a little more new knowledge.
At the gate of the courtyard, there were also many villagers kneeling.
The villagers who sent the baby to school heard that Confucius had invited Mr. and they all watched curiously. As a result, they heard that it was Mr. Bai, so they didn't leave. When the prostrations began, they also knelt at the door.
Almost all of the ancient people were superstitious and did not dare to blaspheme the gods. So! When they saw others bowing down, they all bowed down.
It can be said! All those who knew about this knelt down, but Lege alone did not bow down. Lege not only did not kneel, but also hid to the side to peek and snicker. Others treat him as a fool, and he also treats others as fools.
"Nimadi! You're all a bunch of fools! Am I stupid? You're fools! ”
Not only did Le Ge not bow down, but he also laughed at others and scolded others for being fools in his heart.
After the ceremony, Yan Lu began to teach the children literacy and arithmetic.
Under the introduction of Confucius, the two sisters-in-law once again bowed down to Mr.
And then! The living room became another school, and Min Shigong sat in the chief position, giving weekly rituals to Confucius, the two sisters-in-law, Qi Guan's family, wolf sister, and Lege.
Min Shigong is not bookish at all, he starts with the apprenticeship ceremony, and then talks about the sacrificial etiquette. Speaking of daily etiquette and ceremonies......
Like a university professor in modern society, he can teach half a book in a class.
And that's not all! He also had to stand up and demonstrate some important etiquette in person.
There are many etiquettes that Confucius knew. So! Sometimes Mr. Min is not required to demonstrate, he does a demonstration on the side and asks Mr. Min to guide.
Lege sat next to the wolf sister, to be specific, the wolf sister twisted his ears.
"Learn! You don't learn? Don't you learn, do you? Don't learn from me to wring off your ears! Learn! ”
Under the persecution of the wolf sister, Lege had to sit down and listen to the class.
"What kind of society is this? This is a polite society! If you don't know how to be polite or respectful when you go out, others will ignore you! Learn! ”
Lege felt that this was also the case, so he was obedient.
Oh, yes! Since the time of rebirth has come, can you make an exception?
"Later? How does the academy develop? After teaching basic etiquette, Min Shigong asked Confucius.
Confucius's private learning has just begun, and there are many people, but there are no classes. Right now! Everyone came in one class. And some students don't need to go to preschool. For example! Yan Lu!
Yan Lu used to go to school and was a "junior high school student". It is obviously a waste of time to let him study with other people. Now Yan Lu can teach others.
"I want to be in a class!" Confucius said, "Put the unbasic in one class, and the others, according to their current situation, teach different knowledge......
Confucius said what he thought.
"Hmmm! That's how it should be! Min Shigong listened and nodded with satisfaction. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Confucius Scumbag Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
