In the Ming Dynasty, there were as many literati associations as a cow's hair.
Wang Yangming joined several clubs when he was young, and the Donglin Party was originally only a Wen club. I mentioned the Chishui Liujun in southern Jiangxi before. Four of them were killed by rebels when they returned home from the provincial examination. They also formed a Chishui Society.
There were more than 30 people who signed up for the Datong Society.
Zhao Han wasn't picky either, and accepted it wholeheartedly.
Just organize a few more club activities, just join in the fun and expose naturally, and then develop core members from the rest.
Relying on a group of scholars and children to rebel?
Rely on them to fight against the Tartars?
Pure nonsense.
There is also the Iron Foot Club in Hekou Town, Zhao Han is also happy to make friends.
However, the same cannot be cited as relying on the fact that trade unions and gangster organizations are not reliable.
The strength of the Wenhui can be borrowed, the strength of the labor union can be borrowed, and the strength of the Fei family can be borrowed.
However, it is difficult for these forces to become Zhao Han's basic board!
? Without a basic disk, it is like water without a source, like a plant without roots. Can be on a whim, can go smoothly, but can't encounter major setbacks.
"Gentlemen!"
?After lunch, Zhao Han clasped his fists and said, "Let's discuss the matter of forming an association in detail some other day. I have been summoned by the school inspector, so I have to go and listen to the admonition."
"Let's go quickly, don't keep the inspector waiting for too long." Zhu Sheng said.
Cai Maode lived in the guest room, and a healthy servant came to open the door.
Zhao Han asked: "Excuse me, sir, is the supervisor here?"
The healthy servant bowed and said: "The inspector has been waiting for a long time, please come in, my little gentleman."
At this moment, Cai Maode was sitting in front of the desk, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
A piece of draft paper was spread out, and key words such as "pull out the source and stop the source", "oneness of all things", "oneness of Tao, heart and essence", "five teachings in harmony", and "theory of grid position" were written on it.
Obviously, this person is doing learning, and it is very important learning.
It seemed that there were still some key points that he didn't understand. Cai Maode closed his eyes and pondered hard. He didn't even know that Zhao Han entered the room.
Zhao Han didn't want to be disturbed, so he sat down quietly and began to close his eyes and meditate there.
After a long time, Cai Maode suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately wrote vigorously, and more than ten key words appeared on the draft paper.
When he was about to formally write an article, he finally saw someone sitting next to him. Cai Maode put down his pen and asked with a smile, "Have you been here for a long time?"
Zhao Han stood up and bowed: "The late student has met the supervisor."
Cai Maode was in a happy mood at the moment, and the more he looked at Zhao Han, the more he liked him, and he said in a kind tone: "Sit down and talk."
Zhao Han immediately sat down and asked, "I don't know the supervisor's call, what advice do I have?"
Cai Maode asked: "You have such a grand theory at such a young age, did you come up with it yourself?"
Zhao Han replied: "When the student was ten years old, he seemed to have realized something after reading "The Great Learning". It took another four years to read the Confucian scriptures before he came up with such a ridiculous and generous theory of personality."
"Ten years old?"
Cai Maode was both surprised and regretful: "Four years ago, the magistrate of Fengshan County should have recommended you to participate in the child prodigy test."
In the Ming Dynasty, prefectural and county magistrates could select child prodigies who were about ten years old, and they did not need to pass the county examination or government examination, but directly participated in the Taoist examination. The chief examiner will take special care of child prodigies, lower the judging standards, and give priority to admission.
Feng Menglong, who wrote "Three Words", was born as a child prodigy, and became a granary student at the age of eleven.
Zhao Shichun of the Jiajing Dynasty took part in the child prodigy test at the age of nine, and was suspected of cheating because of his excellent writing.
When the academic officer asked the question "Zi Yue" in the interview, Zhao Shichun immediately solved the question: Every man is a teacher of the world, and a word is the law of the world.
Ti Xueguan was very surprised, and used "Zhao Shichun" as the title again. Zhao Shichun immediately solved the problem: the surname is the first among hundreds of families, and the first name is the first among the four prefaces.
The child prodigy test is more difficult to cheat than the ordinary Tao test.
However, whoever chooses one will definitely receive the attention of the whole province. If something goes wrong, the academic officer will bear a lifelong stain.
Zhao Han wondered: "The late student is still very young, why is the inspector so urgent?"
Cai Maode sighed and said: "If you want to spread the theory of status, you must at least have the reputation of a scholar. I will support you, and there is no chance. After the scientific examination next year, I will probably be transferred to another post."
? Boys' exams, two exams in three years.
?Next year, only the subject test will be taken, not the boy test, and no scholar will be admitted.
All the exams next year will revolve around the township exam. Scholars who pass the scientific examination are eligible to take the Juren examination, and by the way, the scientific examination is used to test the scholar's studies.
Cai Maode has been in office for several years. Under normal circumstances, ?He said: "The water of the Canglang is so clear that it can wash my tassels." The dust of "No generals and carts, the dust of Weichen is dark"."
Cai Maode was stunned for a moment, and laughed again: "Hahahaha, the younger generation is awesome!"
After laughing, Cai Maode stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed straightly: "You have made up your mind, and this ambition is broad and difficult, so you must persevere in spite of setbacks."
"Even though I died nine times, I have no regrets." Zhao Han said.
Han means both vastness and cleansing.
"The Cart Without Generals" is a poem describing the hardships and sufferings of the laborers. The laborers push the carts, and the dust covers the sky and the sun. Laborers can't see the way ahead, can't figure out the direction, are riddled with diseases, and suffer all day long.
Zhuochen means to get rid of the dirt on one's body and keep the soul pure.
Cleaning the dust is also to clear the dust for the laborers, remove obstacles for the laborers, and guide the direction for the laborers!
This laborer can also be understood as a scholar, a common man, and all people in the world.
"Zhao Zhuochen, Zhao Zhuochen," Cai Maode repeated twice, waved and said, "Go."
"Retire late." Zhao Han left with his hands in his hands.
Cai Maode muttered to himself: Is this the ambition of a young man? Science? Learning by heart? Practical?
?The mainstream of academic thought in the late Ming Dynasty was to criticize Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, and seek the way of Confucius and Mencius. It is advocated that Confucianism cannot be divorced from reality, and that Confucianism must be economical to the people.
This is called "practical learning".
No matter how it is done, no matter what the purpose is, the Donglin Party holds high the banner of "practical learning".
However, the Donglin Party has a complex composition of personnel.
Some people abandon Confucianism and explore the real Confucius and Mencius.
Some people revised Confucianism, thinking that Zhu Xi was correct, but it was misrepresented by later generations.
Cai Maode is also a member of the Donglin Party. He is trying to restore the theory of mind, and believes that Wang Yangming is correct, but has been misinterpreted by his disciples and grandchildren.
After Zhao Han left the room, Cai Maode picked up the brush, quoted the theory of character, and wanted to write a big article that would shock the schools of mind.
