Chapter 2208 (1/2)

In particular, Confucius himself said that his teaching purpose is ”not angry, not sentimental. If one corner is not opposed to three corners, it will no longer be”.

In short, this sentence means that when teaching students, they do not guide students until they have made efforts but have not obtained correct knowledge; Don't inspire students until they have reached the bottleneck and want to say it, but they are almost able to say it. Students can't draw inferences from one instance and stop teaching.

This way of education can be called a stroke of genius when educating talents. It is the summary of Confucius' students for many years. It is not talking freely, but his practical life experience.

This way, spend the least effort and reap the greatest results.

However, this educational method is only suitable for elite education, especially for people with strong subjective initiative and those with strong self-control and learning ability. Once this method is used in mass education, it will be a disaster of education.

It is precisely because the Terrans have used this way of education for a long time, which leads to the lack of talents at all levels, especially at the bottom, and even bury some early stupid and late mature talents.

However, Confucius also has another teaching method, which is praised by his disciple Yan Hui, that is, Yan Zi, ”the master follows, but is good and attractive”.

Yan Zi praised Confucius for guiding and teaching his disciples in an orderly way, and the focus of this sentence is ”guidance”.

But in Fang Yun's opinion, Yan Zi was described in vulgar words as ”standing and talking without backache”.

Because Confucius once praised Yan Zi in the Analects of Confucius: ”it's foolish for me to talk back to him all day. It's enough to save his privacy. It's not foolish to talk back.”

This is to say that Confucius taught Yan Zi all day. Yan Zi rarely raised objections and questions, like a fool who couldn't understand. In fact, some of Yanzi understand and some don't, but after listening to him and going back to study, he can solve his problems and achieve success. It can be seen that Yanzi is not stupid.

In other words, Yan Zi is a kind of genius, otherwise he will not be praised by Confucius many times. Even Confucius said he wanted to learn from Yan Zi and was the most valued disciple of Confucius.

This is the education and learning method between the two school bullies. The primary school bully is smart and easy to understand, and the University bully is intelligent. He is not angry or sentimental. Therefore, in the view of the primary school bully, the University bully guides him in learning in a very precise and orderly way.

In fact, for ordinary students, listening to Confucius' lectures is basically in the clouds, and Confucius' actual lectures are not good guidance at all.

Many old gentlemen read the Analects of Confucius to teach students. They read it deliberately only when they form a general consensus. In those controversial parts, they read it in long sentences, regardless of whether the students can understand it or not.

Therefore, Fang Yun is ready to give up elite education and carry out mass education. In this way, although teachers suffer and bear great sacrifices, they are not understood by students and even the society, there is no way.

Not everyone is Confucius, not everyone is Yanzi.
