As the saying goes: "Young people are easy to learn and hard to learn, and not an inch of time is indispensable." "You have to seize the time to learn Xi in order to learn. However, many people can't grasp the time and can't learn. It can be seen that it is difficult to learn Xi, otherwise I will not seize the time to learn Xi.
Learning Xi itself is difficult. If in a primitive society, learning Xi is only a kind of inheritance of life experience, and there is no written word, and people can only pass on their experience through word of mouth, which is not too difficult. In the period of civilization development, with written records and systematic knowledge, it became difficult to learn Xi. The knowledge of various disciplines needs to be passed on, and it is necessary to find inheritors, otherwise it will not be able to develop. Agronomy, calligraphy, the art of war, art, and so on all need to be passed on. As a result, people seem to continue to enrich these disciplines, but also to develop their branches, making more and more branches, more and more detailed, which makes many people who study Xi feel at a loss.
It's better if you just study Xi and don't take exams. Students will not feel too much pressure and will get a certain amount of joy in their Xi. It is their goal to apply what they have learned, and they must learn the knowledge and skills and apply them to practice to have an effect, otherwise, it will be just empty talk, and the Xi will lose their meaning. During the Warring States Period, Su Qin lobbied the princes, but he was not welcomed, went home and studied hard, day and night, and finally practiced the art of vertical and horizontal, and hung the seal of the six countries, which was regarded as a great achievement in learning Xi. If it is put now, Su Qin must pass the exam before he can be regarded as a talent.
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were no imperial examinations, and the people of the scholar group had been officials for generations, and there was no channel for the folk intellectual elite to rise. Folk scholars should be diners in the bureaucracy's home, and they can only be reused if they have contributed to their masters. The learning Xi of those times focused on practical results and applied what they had learned. However, learning Xi must be hard, not easy. Jin Gongzi is sixty years old, and he still has to study with candles, and his hardships can be imagined. "The head is overhanged, and the taper is stabbed by the strands. "Scholars are also angry and hard-working, and they want to succeed in their studies and become famous. After the Sui and Tang dynasties, the imperial examination system flourished, and scholars had to study hard to Xi if they wanted to gain fame. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, scholars had to learn Xi "Four Books and Five Classics", and their thinking was greatly restricted, and the phenomenon of dead reading and reading dead books appeared. At that time, the elimination rate of the imperial examination was very high, and the eliminated scholars either prepared to take the re-examination, or went to do something else, or committed suicide, and did not dare to go home easily. Because most of the people at that time were farmers, it took more than three generations of hard work to accumulate money to support a scholar. If the scholar fails the exam, won't he be sorry for the whole family?Therefore, the scholars studied hard, and even went to the ancient temple in the mountains to learn Xi, just to find a quiet environment, to give full play to their abilities, and go all out.
Xi has become a difficult thing and a necessary way to seek fame. As long as you do well in the exam, you will be favored by the examiner, and you will become an official after getting a good score in the exam. In ancient times, when the productive forces were underdeveloped, being an official was the best way out, and it was also people's value pursuit. No matter how hard and tired the Xi is, no one will publicize it, and what is preached is the glory after the examination, which is called "Ten years of hard work and no one asks, once you become famous and known to the world." "The naked utilitarian thinking makes scholars eager to study Xi, and they have to study hard, but whether they can pass the exam in the end is another matter. In other words, in the face of the mainstream ideology propagated by the imperial court, learning Xi is only a way to seek fame, even if it is hard, it is worth it. In the eyes of farmers, if learning Xi is not difficult and hard, it becomes something that everyone can do, and it becomes an easy thing, then what is the value?Just like farmers farming, they need to face difficulties such as lack of water, labor, and fertilizer, and find their own ways to overcome difficulties in order to obtain a good harvest. The same is true for scholars to learn Xi, they need to overcome difficulties by themselves, in addition to reading and memorizing, they also need to find famous masters to ask for advice, concentrate on it, and have no distractions in order to learn and succeed.
The ancients seemed to be more intelligent, and never emphasized the difficulty of learning Xi, but emphasized the example of overcoming the difficulty of learning Xi, and those who want to learn Xi build up self-confidence and overcome the difficulty of learning Xi. In other words, emphasizing overcoming difficulties and gaining fame and fortune is more meaningful than emphasizing difficulties, and it can also stimulate scholars' motivation Xi learning. It's just that the imperial examination has greatly restricted the thinking of scholars, and the high elimination rate has caused many scholars to go all the way to the examination and waste a lot of good time in life. Even if you pass the exam, even if you finish your studies, even if you can't be an official with real power, you can still enjoy the country's benefits, and of course you don't need to farm. There are those who fail the exam and become scholars, and there are those who become Mr. Library, which is a small success, not a big success.
Even now, he still adheres to the tradition, emphasizes the courage and determination to overcome difficulties in the process of learning Xi, and has to make many examples of diligent study to inspire young people, but never emphasizes the difficulty of learning Xi. In fact, there are also great difficulties in learning Xi now, the subject classification is more detailed, and the knowledge is more difficult, and even some students can't learn it in middle school, let alone Xi in college. After studying Xi, if you can't find a job, even if you can't learn anything, it's useless to learn. Although everyone now has the right to education, it is not so easy for people to learn. The mainstream ideology emphasizes the importance of learning Xi, and also emphasizes the benefits of diligent study, which still has a naked utilitarian attribute, but never emphasizes the difficulty of learning Xi. If we emphasize the difficulty of learning Xi, we will have a problem with the education system that sets Xi goals. According to common sense, the things that have difficulties are the things that have the big gains, and the things that are called the big costs and the big gains are actually just the difficulties deliberately set by the power system. Think about it, how much of the knowledge on the exam paper is commonly used in real life?And how many are useless?After a lot of effort, I studied Xi seriously, but in the end I learned a lot of useless knowledge, is it a waste of time and energy?Although educators have proposed that to increase the knowledge reserve, it can be called at any time when it is useful, but just learning dead knowledge will lack the ability to innovate, and most of the dead knowledge learned will not be used ......
Reducing the difficulty of exams so that most students can succeed in their studies is an issue that needs to be seriously considered in education now. However, it seems irresponsible for capital investment in education and the industrialization of education to train students to study and take exams, but not to provide them with jobs. It is not as good as the imperial examination in ancient times, although it is hard, but it is very rewarding. The current Xi is just hard, but the harvest is not big, is there a disconnect between education and reality?Those who study Chinese are not writers, those who study mathematics are not mathematicians, those who study physics are not physicists, those who study art are not artists, are they not deep in research, and they have nothing to learn
Learning Xi to overcome difficulties, but if it takes about 20 years to study Xi, it is equivalent to the imperial examination, which prolongs the study Xi time, and allows more young people to struggle with difficulties in the Xi of study, which also consumes their time and energy, but does not provide them with good jobs, which is a kind of foolery and a manifestation of stifling creativity. There are difficulties in learning Xi and need to be overcome, but at the same time, you must know that the difficulties of learning Xi are not something that every student can overcome, especially now that the living conditions are better, many students have been induced by capital, and they are indulged in pleasure and will not study hard Xi. At the same time, the process of education industrialization has been completed, so the difficulty of learning Xi will become a crisis that has been strengthened, and at the same time it will be transformed into the fees of tutorial classes and the sale of teaching and auxiliary materials, which will be used as a price in disguise, which will make many students fall into it.
