When the students at the Normal College received the beautifully printed textbooks, they were first surprised by the printing quality, and then they were overwhelmed by the content in the textbooks.
The Chinese liberal arts students found that the first lesson was completely incomprehensible.
There were some strange symbols on each Chinese character.
Some people recognized that they looked like Latin letters in missionary books.
After asking the teachers at the college, I found out that this is the pinyin method formulated by the emperor himself.
As long as you remember these pinyin, you can recognize the words under the pinyin.
So the Chinese liberal arts students started self-study amidst the strange sound of "Bobo Mo".
At this time, the arithmetic students were looking at the symbols for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a daze.
Yes, Zhu Youxiao felt that the trouble of reading and writing Chinese characters was also a reason that restricted the popularization of ancient cultural knowledge, so he copied the Chinese pinyin he learned as a child here.
Fortunately, at this time, one of the standard languages was Beijing dialect, and the other was Fengyang dialect.
However, after becoming ancestors, Beijing dialect was basically used as the official language, and the difference from later generations was not too big.
Chinese pinyin can make it easier for students to master the pronunciation of Chinese characters.
Now there are also phonetic notation methods, such as fanqie phonetic notation.
However, with the development of the times, the changes in pronunciation of fanqie phonetic notation have become more and more troublesome and difficult to understand.
In fact, the same is true for Chinese pinyin.
As times change, it may no longer be suitable, but at least it is suitable now.
Zhu Youxiao also wants to promote the Capital dialect across the country in the future, so that Hanyu Pinyin will always be effective.
The reason why he attaches so much importance to the issue of pronunciation is because Confucians have always used the private school method of teaching.
If the teacher pronounces it wrong, the students will also pronounce it wrong.
With the popularization of Pinyin, jokes like "Yu Yu Hu Wen Zai" pronounced as "Everyone is equal to me" will no longer be possible.
As for the introduction of operation symbols in arithmetic, the reason is that operation symbols are simple, easy to understand and convenient.
In fact, it has been used in banks for a long time, but it has not been popularized among the private sector.
Zhu Youxiao wants to promote it nationwide through normal colleges.
Zhu Youxiao originally planned that the academic system of the Normal College would be three years, but Xu Guangqi and others felt that one year was enough.
Pinyin was actually very simple to learn, and mathematical symbols only took a short time to adapt to.
Since the normal education system was changed to one year, it was urgent to build a new school.
After discussing with the ministers, it was decided to promote new schools in the northern and southern Zhili provinces first.
On the one hand, this is due to political reasons, and on the other hand, the northern and southern Zhili, especially the southern Zhili, are relatively wealthy.
The new-style schools are called so-and-so primary schools.
For example, the No. 1 primary school in the capital is currently being built by the Royal Construction Team.
It is located near the Great University Hall in the capital.
It is designed to accommodate 500 students and has ten classes in total.
It is prepared to recruit children from families from all walks of life in the capital. .
In the eight prefectures and two prefectures of North Zhili, there are initial plans to build a total of fifty new primary schools, all of which will be located in densely populated areas.
More schools will be considered later, but Zhu Youxiao estimates that based on the annual enrollment of the Normal College The number of people, I'm afraid it won't be possible until much later.
The textbooks for students at the Civil Service College are different from the textbooks for normal school students.
Their textbooks for different subjects are also different, and the names are also strange, such as administration, statistics, and public health.
Of course, the contents are similar to those of later textbooks with the same name.
It's different, just some simple preliminary knowledge.
The graduate school with the smallest enrollment is where Zhu Youxiao has high hopes.
Most of the professors in the Xiang Normal School are Hanlin members of the Hanlin Academy, while most of the professors in the Civil Service College are civil servants from the Ministry of Revenue and minor officials from the Ministry of Civil Service.
The professors at the institute were ministers like Xu Guangqi, doctors like Sun Yuanhua, and even emperors like Zhu Youxiao.
Yes, that's right, Zhu Youxiao is the head of the Imperial Academy.
This is a matter of course.
But he is not satisfied with this.

He is still a professor at the graduate school, but he is not a specific professor of any subject.
He believes that as a high school academic, he can be a qualified professor in all subjects of the graduate school.
Of course, this was his idea, and Xu Guangqi, as the deputy director of the Capital University, believed that there was no way to limit which subject the emperor should be a professor.
Textbooks have been distributed to students, but the Capital University has not officially opened yet because the Spring Festival is coming.
Most students are far away from home, so they spend the Spring Festival in the Imperial University.
These students eat food that may be better than at home, and can discuss new knowledge in textbooks in small groups.
The library of the Capital University is open every day and provides borrowing services, so their Spring Festival is better than Home may be more fulfilling, except for a slight feeling of homesickness.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the third year of Tianqi, the Capital University officially opened.
The weather was very cold this morning, but there was no rain or snow at all.
In the academic lecture hall of the Capital University Hall, the opening ceremony of the Capital University Hall was held.
In the front of the lecture hall is a five-foot-high platform with a table in the middle.
There is a large copper speaker on the table, which can be used for sound amplification.
The roof of the entire lecture hall is round, which also has the function of focusing sound. .
There is a chair behind the table for the speaker.
Behind this chair is a row of chairs, which are currently occupied by cabinet ministers and six ministers, and will be used by professors of various subjects in the future.
When the clock in the lecture hall reached eight o'clock, Xu Guangqi walked to the table, picked up the copper speaker and said: "Dear students, I am Xu Guangqi, deputy director of the Capital University of the Ming Dynasty.
First of all, I want to tell you that at Capital University No kneeling is allowed in the school.
If a professor speaks well, he can only express his welcome and appreciation by applauding.”
After that, he demonstrated how to applaud.
Then he said: "Now please welcome the Dean of the Capital University Hall, and our respected Emperor will give you a lecture."
After saying that, he put down the loudspeaker and started to applaud.
The students below also clapped together, and suddenly a long-lasting cheer sounded in the lecture hall. applause.
Zhu Youxiao walked out of a door next to him, waving his hands as he walked.
Some students in front of him subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground, but were held back by the instructor with quick eyes and hands.
Zhu Youxiao finally came to the table.
He pressed down with both hands.
The officials on the stage stopped clapping, and the students below also understood the meaning and stopped applauding.
Zhu Youxiao picked up the trumpet and said: "Dear students, I am the dean of the Capital University Hall and the emperor of the Ming Empire.
But here, first of all, I am the dean of the Capital University Hall."
The students clapped their hands crazily again, and Zhu Youxiao didn't stop him and looked at the students with a smile.
He could understand the students' excitement.
The imperial examinations were presided over by the emperor himself, so the scholars could call themselves disciples of the emperor.
And now that the head of the Imperial Academy is the Emperor, then everyone is truly a disciple of the Emperor
