Chapter Forty-Eight: Convinced
The ancestral temple of Ueno Ninoka was the predecessor of the Shoheiza Academy, Japan's largest official educational institution, but it has not yet moved, including Lin Luoshan and his private school. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhu Cihong went here quite bumpy, and the road was difficult to travel, so Zhu Cihong had to complain to Abe Tadaaki, who accompanied him: The place of education should be in a convenient place with convenient transportation, which is conducive to the children of poor families to study smoothly.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor spoke, the place quickly began the countdown to move.
Of course, Zhu Cihong didn't pay attention to whether he would take it seriously when he said casually.
When he arrived at the first temple, Zhu Cihong saw many familiar appearances - Confucian shirts fluttering.
Lin Luoshan is a typical Chinese name, but after Zhu Cihong inquired, he was stunned to find that this is actually an authentic Japanese. Lin Luoshan, who was born in the 11th year of Tianzheng, is now sixty-four years old, his real name is Xinsheng, his name is Luoshan, and his name is Zixin. Later, he also became a monk and became a kind, and his law name was Daochun.
A Japanese man has taken a typical Chinese name, and it is natural to see how deep this person is in the plot of China. Different from the kimono that Zhu Cihong was tired of seeing crookedly along the way, Lin Luoshan may have always been like this, or maybe he did it on purpose, in short, he was wearing a fluttering Confucian shirt, and Zhu Cihong felt very cordial.
"Mr. Luo Shan has admired his name for a long time, and when he sees it today, it is even more heartbreaking." Zhu Cihong took the lead in saluting with a sincere smile.
For a pro-China faction born and raised in Japan, it is really difficult for Zhu Cihong to restrain his favorability.
"His Majesty the Emperor is a great honor for me to come to the Humble House to guide me in Japanese culture and education, and it is an honor for my students to do so. How dare you be your majesty's love? Your Majesty, please ......" Lin Luoshan turned sideways and greeted Zhu Cihong into the First Temple.
This is the place to worship Confucius.
Zhu Cihong, as a native of Confucius's hometown, came to the first temple, so naturally he couldn't miss the sacrifice to Confucius.
Although Zhu Cihong has quite a disagreement with Confucianism, as an emperor, Zhu Cihong has an advantage over many people who have traveled through the ages. That's ...... What school the court wants to choose, Zhu Cihong can decide in one word. As a result, Zhu Cihong did not need to reform Confucianism, but made a multiple-choice question more easily. Leave behind the improved schools.
Naturally, Zhu Cihong would not reject Confucianism. will not do anything to bring down the Kong family.
All in all, the ceremony was held smoothly.
After some etiquette, it was time for dinner, and between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, Zhu Cihong left the banquet and entered the Lin private school under the leadership of Lin Luoshan.
The private school has been emptied, and on the tables and chairs, you can see Mongolian textbooks such as "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text" everywhere.
Lin Luoshan looked at Zhu Cihong's gaze, and sure enough, Zhu Cihong smiled after seeing it.
"Sure enough, it is rumored that His Majesty the Emperor loves the four seas and speaks Chinese, which is really true...... Lin Luoshan said in his heart.
Zhu Cihong naturally understood that this was Lin Luoshan's gesture of goodwill, and this was about to be the place where the two would meet secretly.
"Japan's sincerity is not as good as China's, although the students try their best to teach, but they can still only be on the current scale, fifty children, thirty less, can not go further. And this is still a lot of family learning. Although the students are not restrained, they still can't stand the poverty of the students. In contrast, on the contrary, martial arts dojos are more popular. Lin Luoshan sighed.
The development of government-run education in Japan is slow, and it will take decades to come out of the Changheizaka Institute. On the contrary, the martial arts dojo is very prosperous, and the scale run by Jing Zhengxue is not small, but it is far inferior to the sword Zen dojo of the Yanagi family. Yagyu not only trained Tokugawa Iemitsu as a disciple, but also taught 13,000 samurai throughout the country.
In layman's terms, in fact, it is the trend of employment.
If it weren't for the fact that daimyo such as Tokugawa Yoshinobu took the lead in flourishing culture and education, and for the gradual peace of the Edo period, there was a way out for reading. Otherwise, there will be fewer people who read, and everyone still thinks that it is practical to go to the dojo to learn martial arts. Even if you can't enter the army of the daimyo, you have a martial art, and if you want to find a way out, you always want more.
After all, under the system of the Tokugawa shogunate, it was the samurai who were in power.
Of course, as peace gradually became established, more and more samurai began to learn the science of Zhuzi in order to consolidate the rule of the shogunate.
Zhu Cihong knew this, and he also understood that Zhu Zixue would eventually flourish in Japan.
But for Zhu Zixue, Zhu Cihong didn't like it. Although he knew that Zhu Zixue could consolidate feudal rule, its negative effect of restraining the mind and hindering China's foreign expansion was also real.
At present, the development of Confucianism in Japan is still in its infancy, and Zhu Cihong has a crooked idea when he thinks about this.
"Mr. Hayashi has lived in Japan for a long time, so he may not know much about domestic affairs. Although it has only been three or five years, my Ming culture and education have flourished, and they are already changing with each passing day and developing in thousands of ways. Zhu Cihong's heart moved and said.
Lin Luoshan naturally has no objection to this: "The Ming Dynasty is prosperous in literature and education, and there is a more perfect county government and national studies, and the imperial examination system is really a place that students admire and yearn for." ”
Zhu Cihong heard Lin Luoshan's voiceover.
Obviously, Lin Luoshan just felt that the Ming Dynasty had imperial examinations and a perfect national education system, and the prosperity of natural culture and education was far better than that of Japan. If you want to compare Japan with Daming, Daming is a bit self-defeating. Similarly, Lin Luoshan also felt that there was nothing to compare. Japan has no desire to win, and the Ming Dynasty is invincible.
"What I want is for you to react...... Zhu Cihong said in his heart.
He pretended not to hear Lin Luoshan's voiceover, and said proudly: "Since I took power, I have greatly promoted culture and education, and promoted primary schools. Today, a total of 8,309 new primary schools have been built in the past five years. A total of 4.67 million young children were enrolled. More than 10 million people are literate. And the imperial examination system has been greatly reformed. The generations who have completed their studies in the Ming Dynasty gradually no longer take the imperial examination as the only channel. If you want to flourish culture and education, it is not enough to rely on the temptation of taking official positions in the imperial examination. The key is to study the right path well. This can be like the Ming Dynasty, with 4 million young children enrolled and more than 10 million literacy eradicated! ”
When Lin Luoshan heard the figures reported by Zhu Cihong, he was shocked.
This number is really shocking.
Perhaps, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty to have so many young children.
It's just that...... When it comes to population ratio, it really shouldn't be like this. There are about 10,000 people in the Ming Dynasty and about 20 million in Japan. In total, there should be nearly one million young children in Japan.
But...... Millions of school-going toddlers?
If 1 percent, or 10,000 young children, can find a place to study, then it can be said that Japanese culture and education are flourishing.
Not to mention the great achievement of eradicating tens of millions of people into illiteracy.
Zhu Cihong said that the prosperity of Daming literature and religion is really not as prosperous as Lin Luoshan originally thought.
But...... It is a hundred times more prosperous than Lin Luoshan imagined.
Hearing this, Lin Luoshan was really convinced, and there were no strange words at all: "It is really the rule of a saint." ”
