You have to talk about human nature

In Xiao Letian's previous life, in the 21st century, it was already difficult for humans to understand how important the relationship between teacher and student was. In that era, education had become an obligation of the State, and for the people who received education, they did not feel grateful.

This was actually a type of mind of a well-fed man who didn't know his hunger. Being fortunate while being lucky might be a common ailment of humans.

When Xiao Letian came to this era of the late Qing, when he personally witnessed the final part of the nineteenth century's education level, he made a 180 degree reversal of the relationship between teacher and student.

Knowledge was the only way to change fate. The so-called master was actually a father in a different sense. His own father gave him this life while the master gave him the life in a career.

Without a master, you wouldn't be able to enter that world, you wouldn't be able to be an official, you wouldn't be able to become a mega-merchant, and even more so, you wouldn't be a militant, a politician, or a reformer.

A person who could not even read was fated to be cannon fodder!

In this era, there was no compulsory education. If everyone wanted to open the door to a higher level, then they had to take the initiative to learn, and they had to ask someone who had the ability to teach them.

In this era, if you want to learn real things, come over here and kowtow to me and call me your father, then that's the only way to teach you.

No one is willing to give you knowledge for nothing in an era of compulsory education. You say you don't know how to write your own name? What does it have to do with me! So what if you can't figure out an easy way to settle the score? What does it have to do with you starving to death?

In ancient times, knowledge could have been kept and locked away, but no one had the duty to teach you if you wanted to learn. Although his words were harsh and unpleasant to hear, these were the most famous words in the world.

To put it another way, 'The people in this world aren't all your parents, and people treat you well if they don't have any obligations!' Cruel? This was life.

modern man who walked out of the jar of honey seemed to have long forgotten what it meant to treasure.

However, in the late Qing, where life was extremely difficult, people would grab onto any opportunity to change their fates.

Annoying of studying did not exist in the late Qing's era, because people who hated studying had no chance to attend school. They had completely broken away from knowledge and were destined to be blind for their entire lives.

As for those who had seized the opportunity to educate their students, their masters would be deeply moved by them. Thus, their masters were ranked as the most important factor in the social relations between the Chinese people in that era.

According to the laws of Ancient China, the relationship between master and disciple was protected by the law.

According to the law and the folklore, disciples had the right to inherit their masters' family property. However, they had to be ranked after their children and relatives.

In other words, if there were no relatives left in the master's home, there would be no problem for the disciple to inherit the family property.

And a disciple also has the duty of being filial to his master. If his master really wants to live with his disciple for a few years, you still have to raise him. Even if Master doesn't want to stay in your house, your disciple will have to pay you back every year. If Master's family can't keep the pot boiling, you still have to pay money to raise Master.

Under such a close relationship, the relationship between master and disciple was very strong. They were more like a community of interests than just ordinary employment.

Xiang Ying walked out of the Confucian value system. Although he had changed his Western studies halfway through, he did not lose out to the Confucian morals of being loyal, filial, honest, and shameless.
