The Ministry of Rites was established in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Sui and Tang Dynasties were one of the six tribes. Through the ages. The chief officer is the Minister of Rites. It is used to test the five rites of auspiciousness, Jiajia, military affairs, guestness and inauspiciousness; manage the affairs of schools across the country, imperial examinations and the affairs between the vassal and foreign countries.
In layman¡¯s terms, it is the complex of the Propaganda Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Education.
From the perspective of future generations, the Ministry of Rites seems to be a useless yamen
The six divisions are the officials, the rites, the military, the punishments, and the work.
How to become an official? It's just about managing people, managing money, employing people, and using money. The Etiquette Department doesn't have much to do with it, so it looks a little weak. However, in ancient society, etiquette was very important. The Ministry of Rites often concerned about human ethics and etiquette, which was not unimportant. Therefore, the minister of rites is often held concurrently by the leading bachelor of Qingliu, which is not useless. The ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, because they were in charge of personnel affairs, were extremely wary of the emperor in order to prevent others from forming cliques for personal gain.
However, the reason why the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel were given equal emphasis was from the late Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.
What is the reason?
One word: imperial examination!
Just imagine, the important yamen that presides over the imperial examinations for students all over the world to become officials. Almost every examiner is served by the Minister of Rites. Naturally, he becomes the master of all official candidates. It maintains the bureaucracy of the feudal era. How can it not be noticed by the world? Heavy?
Of course, since the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination has not been held for many years. At this time, the Ministry of Rites is not the dazzling place that the world will admire a hundred years later
In the duty room of the Ministry of Etiquette, Kong Yingda was stroking his beard with one hand and holding a book in the other. He was reading with gusto, thinking deeply and immersed in it from time to time.
The room was spacious and spacious, with not many furnishings. There was a charcoal pot burning in front of the desk, and the charcoal fire was red. There was a red clay kettle placed on it. The spring water in the pot was hissing and had not yet boiled. There is a porcelain vase in the corner of the table, with a bouquet of red plums inserted sideways. The faint fragrance adds a bright and lively feel to this simple and simple room.
Opposite Kong Yingda, an old man with white hair and a childlike face was sitting by the charcoal fire with a leisurely expression, waiting for the spring water in the pot to boil for the third time.
In the quiet room, the only sounds were the sound of charcoal fire, the hiss of spring water in the pot, and the rustle of Kong Yingda flipping through books
? Harmony and nature, tranquility and tranquility.
After a long time, the spring water in the pot began to boil.
The old man with fair hair and childish face took out a set of white porcelain tea sets from the drawer under the desk, took out some green tea leaves from a celadon jar and placed them in the tea cups. He poured water, washed the tea, cleaned the tea sets, brewed tea, and divided the tea
The posture is elegant and swift. In a moment, the teacup is filled with green tea soup, and a quiet fragrance fills the simple and simple room.
Kong Yingda put down the book in his hand, closed it, and placed it on his desk. On the title page of the book, three large characters were written - "Three Character Classic".
? Stretched out three fingers to pick up the tea cup, brought it to his lips and took a sip. After tasting it, Kong Yingda praised: "It is smooth in the mouth, and the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks. I will never leave this tea in my life!"
The old man with white hair and a boyish face smiled proudly and said calmly: "Brother Chongyuan is ridiculous. The most important thing about making tea is the control of the heat and the precision of the technique. Although this tea is good, it can only be made by my hands. Just now it can be called the best, and the rest is just to quench your thirst."
Kong Yingda laughed dumbly.
"This old friend's talent and learning are absolutely top-notch. His arithmetic skills can almost be called the world's greatest, and no one in the world can be better than him." However, people with great abilities have a great temper. This is the case with this old friend. His arrogant and conceited character is almost famous throughout the world
It just so happens that he is extremely smart and excels in everything he does. Even if he is too proud, it leaves people speechless.
Who told you to be inferior to others?
Kong Yingda drank another cup, put down the tea cup, and sighed: "If you come here a few more times, you old man, my inventory will be exhausted."
This tea is the best autumn tea. It is said that the Fang family's tea house in Hangzhou only produces a few dozen kilograms a year. Not only is the price comparable to gold, but it is also priceless. Thanks to his age and reputation, His Highness the Crown Prince gave him two kilograms because he was old, frail and weak in energy. A mere two kilograms of tea leaves is nothing to a tea lover
Especially since this old friend has been running towards me recently, and the consumption of tea has been increasing day by day, why doesn't Kong Yingda feel distressed?
The old man with white hair and boyish face didn't take it seriously, "If the old ones don't go, how can the new ones come in? Everyone is too stingy, which is not the way to make friends. Besides, I heard that someone is known as the 'God of Wealth' Fang Erlang has been conferred the title of Minister of Rites by His Majesty. He should come to take up his new post soon, right? As an officer and an elder, I am also well-known all over the world. I think those ignorant boys who are lucky enough to be here must also be here.I dare not be ignorant of my superiority and inferiority. From now on, I will be sitting on a treasure mountain. Isn¡¯t this tea that I can enjoy endlessly? "
In words, he did not have a good impression of the Fang family. It seemed that he was quite unhappy that Fang Jun was given the title of Minister of Rites at such a young age.
Kong Yingda smiled calmly and did not take his words seriously.
This old friend has been persistent throughout his life, experienced the Sui and Tang dynasties, and worked tirelessly for fame. However, in the ninth year of Wude, he was conferred the title of Tongzhilang Taishi Cheng by Emperor Gaozu, from the seventh rank
Now that he is over seventy years old, he has made no progress. This has been the case for his whole life. It is understandable that he can't stand young handsome men like Fang Jun who have risen through the ranks.
Of course, it¡¯s more just jealousy
Although he didn¡¯t want to argue with his old friend, Kong Yingda believed that his old friend¡¯s ideas were too biased. How could Fang Jun be entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty at a young age? In fact, just being ¡°lucky¡± could explain it?
Kong Yingda pointed to the "Three Character Classic" on the desk and said solemnly: "You can know the whole leopard by looking at a spot, and you can know the autumn by looking at a leaf. This book has many allusions and is highly informative. It is very consistent with Confucianism. The whole article is full of positive thoughts. Although I don¡¯t know who Fang Jun¡¯s teacher is, I can put Fang Jun¡¯s reputation among the ¡®Great Confucians¡¯ with just this Three Character Classic. It is not an exaggeration to say that he will be immortal!¡±
Kong Yingda is very optimistic about this book as an enlightenment.
The biggest feature of the writing of the "Three Character Classic" is reflected in its format. Three characters and one sentence, which rhyme together, are catchy, and the diction is popular, smooth, and easy to remember.
At the same time, the content of the Three Character Classic is arranged in a very orderly manner, which reflects the author's educational thoughts.
The author believes that educating children should focus on etiquette, filial piety and filial piety, correcting children's thoughts, and imparting knowledge comes second, that is, "filial piety and filial piety first, followed by knowledge and knowledge." Instructing children should start from primary school, that is, first learn to read, and then read classics and classics. After reading the Jingbu Zibu, you can then study the history books. The book says: "If you understand the Jingzi, you can read all the histories." The "Three Character Classic" finally emphasizes the attitude and purpose of learning.
It can be said that "The Three Character Classic" is not only a literacy textbook for children's enlightenment, but also a work by the author discussing enlightenment education.
It¡¯s enough to make it shine through the ages!
The old man with gray hair and childlike face was stunned, holding a tea cup in his hand, his expression was a little dull and a little unbelievable, as if he did not expect such a solemn comment to come from Kong Yingda's mouth
But he was still unhappy in his heart. Even if Fang Jun was really talented, could it be that he, who had studied arithmetic all his life and was already the best in the world, could not compare to a child with a yellow mouth? Your Majesty is really nepotistic!
Kong Yingda smiled and said: "Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, please come quickly!"
The old man with gray hair and childlike face snorted, rolled his eyes, shut up, but sat still
Fang Jun walked into the hall and bowed to Kong Yingda with a smile: "Junior Fang Jun, I have met Mr. Kong, I have met uh" When he saw the old man in front of Kong Yingda, he wanted to stop by and say goodbye, but found that I don¡¯t know him at all¡
Kong Yingda laughed and said in a friendly manner: "This is the former Taishi Cheng, Wang Xiaotong, a master of arithmetic."
Fang Jun bowed and saluted: "Junior Fang Jun, I have met the Wang family"
?????????????????Listen to Kong Yingda, is this a mathematician? But I have never heard of this name at all. Even the guys with two swords, such as Li Chunfeng, have all left their names in history. Since this one is an unknown person, it must be a polite term from Kong Yingda.
Wang Xiaotong looked arrogant and turned a blind eye to Fang Jun's gift. He said arrogantly: "I have been obsessed with arithmetic all my life. I am a master of arithmetic but I have achieved some success. Among the great arithmetic masters in the world, if it is said that a certain hand is the leader, no one will be dissatisfied ¡¡±
Fang Jun was a little stunned.
Are you too proud? Even if you are really capable, why would you be so arrogant?
As formathematicians?
hehe¡¡
