Yu Jiaqi can learn from the ancient road. The translation of the teacher's sentence is: I commend him for learning from him in the way of the ancients, and write down this teacher's sentence as a gift for him. This sentence comes from teacher Han Yu. Shi Shuo was written by the author when he was a doctor of imperial academy in Zhenyuan from 17 to 18 years. In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan, the author, who dismissed Xuzhou's official position and lived in Luoyang to preach and teach, was selected twice in Beijing and was awarded the position of Dr. imperial academy in October of that year.
At this time, the author is determined to use imperial academy as a platform to revive Confucianism and reform the literary world, so as to realize his ambition of serving the country. However, when I came to imperial academy to take office, I found that the imperial examination hall was dark, the official system was corrupt, and there were many disadvantages, which led many students to lose confidence in the imperial examination and relax their studies. At that time, the upper class looked down on teachers.
In the scholar-bureaucrat class, there is a concept of "being ashamed to be a teacher", which directly affects the teaching and management in imperial academy. The author is saddened by this and clarifies people's vague understanding of "seeking a teacher" and "being a teacher" by answering Li Pan's question.
Appreciation of works:
In the author's exposition, Shi Shuo belongs to a kind of fluent and fluent writing, which is obviously different from the original road and other bold and magnificent articles. However, there is still momentum in simplicity. There are many factors contributing to this momentum. The first is the persuasiveness of the theory itself and the momentum formed by strict logic.
The author is highly confident in his theory and thoroughly analyzes things. Therefore, in his exposition, he is not only rigorous in steps and tortuous, but also often uses extremely general and accurate language to express the essence of his thoughts clearly, forming a warning strategy in a paragraph or even an article, which leaves a strong impression on readers.
For example, the first paragraph makes a general binding at the end on the basis of discussing the teacher's way: "So, there is no expensive and cheap, no long and little, and the existence of the Tao is also the existence of the teacher's way." As big as a horse. After quoting examples of Confucius' words and deeds, a passage in "The Immortality of a Saint as a Teacher" immediately pointed out: "So disciples don't have to be inferior to teachers, and teachers don't have to be superior to disciples. I have heard of Taoism one after another, and there is specialization in the art, that's all. " From the phenomenon of "impermanent teacher", I suddenly came to such a profound insight, which is of great foresight.
Secondly, hard directing, without any transition, forms a steep literary potential. The opening straight book, "Ancient scholars must have teachers", suddenly appeared, which has been surprising; There are three short paragraphs criticizing the bad atmosphere, each of which starts with "rivers and lakes", "loving my son" and "witch doctor, musician and mechanic". There is no transition between paragraphs, but it is tall and straight and irrelevant. This transfer originated from Han Yu, and the consciousness of reading has a majestic trend.
