Measuring the Ruler It's a big name But Qin Lang held it in his hand, it was just an ordinary wooden ruler, which was collectively called the "precept ruler" in ancient and modern times, which was the "prop" used by the teacher to admonish students, but since the Ministry of Education issued a rule prohibiting corporal punishment of students, things related to the precept ruler have disappeared.
It's just that one thing is very strange, if the educational violence is brought about by this ruler, then why haven't we heard of the story of a master who used a ruler to beat students in ancient times?
As for the abolition of props such as the ring ruler, it is inevitably a bit of a fuss.
In short, educational violence is nothing more than the result of the low morality of teachers You must know that in ancient times, those who could be "masters" should be Xiucai's origin, and Xiucai is already a relatively literate existence, which can only be obtained through the orthodox imperial examination.
And those who can become "masters" must have both ability and political integrity.
Qin Lang was born in the new era, so naturally he had never seen such an "ancient" thing, but as the only prop for the ancient master to teach and educate people, the ring ruler naturally has its special meaning.
This special meaning is not the satisfaction brought by beating the palm of the primary school student, but the meaning of the "precept" and "ruler" in the precept ruler, the so-called "precept" is naturally admonishment and punishment, the ancients once said that "a person is not a sage who can be without fault", and the fault is naturally corrected as soon as possible, so if a mistake is made in the school, the master's precept ruler is used to punish the student, so that the other party can remember the mistake and lesson; The "ruler" is the yardstick, the standard, born without moral and legal concepts, the basic moral and legal concepts are learned in the day after tomorrow, so you need a scale of life.
It can be seen that the precept ruler is not only used to punish people, but also to warn students that they should understand the basic social rules and have their own moral bottom line and scale.
There are so many great truths hidden in every inch of things, which is the wisdom of Confucianism.
And Cai Yan gave Qin Lang this ring ruler, I don't know how many years it has been inherited, and I don't know how many Confucian saints have experienced it, but this ring ruler can be called "measuring the sky", which shows that it is not only used to measure children's misses, but to measure heaven and earth.
How high the heavens are, how deep the earth is, how this should be measured A sandalwood ring ruler, how to measure the sky However, when Qin Lang really came into contact with this measuring ruler, he knew the "power" of this ruler, this small ruler, not only contains the majestic righteousness, but also the Confucian disciples of the past generations of the understanding of the heart of heaven and the people, contains the understanding of the Confucian saints on the great fortune of heaven and earth, Confucianism has produced talents for thousands of years, and those who can hold this ruler must be very outstanding people, and the wisdom accumulated by these people over thousands of years can indeed "measure the sky".
The ancients called "the sky is round and the place is round", but "there is no circle without rules", so heaven and earth were not marked with rules and rules, but some wise people comprehended the heart of heaven, preached for the sky, fixed the basic morality and law, and found the standard and tool to measure all things in heaven and earth.
These people are the saints who have truly attained the path of harmony with heaven.
Those who can "preach for the heavens" are also people with great merits, so those who can write "saint scriptures" that have been passed down through the ages are true saints, because the way of heaven and humanity will test the true level of these books.
In the same way, those who invented "weights and measures" were also saints, because they taught people how to measure the length of time, the length of all things, and so on, and these are great deeds.
This is Cai Yan's intention to show Qin Lang the measuring ruler.
Qin Lang held the measuring ruler in his hands, his hands trembled slightly, the things in it were too heavy, he couldn't bear it at all, so he held the measuring ruler with both hands and handed it to the old man Cai Yan: "Master, I am not an official disciple of Confucianism, and I am not worthy of your love when I meet in Pingshui." ” "Haha" Cai Yan laughed, "Although you are not a disciple of Confucianism, you already have the measuring scale of Confucianism in your heart.
The ancients said well: the common people have a rod and scale in their hearts, and this scale is the measure of the merits of kings and officials.
In the same way, we Confucian people also have a precept ruler in our hearts, and this precept ruler is the measure of our own merits.
"The boy is worried that he is not virtuous enough, and that he will insult the saints."
Qin Lang said.
"Although he is now claimed to be a Confucian disciple of hundreds of millions of dollars, the real Confucian disciple has disappeared, and the old man is just a reader of the classics of Confucianism and the saints.
It's been many years, and it's the first time that the old man has seen someone with a heroic and righteous spirit enter here.
Well, since you already have your own measuring ruler, you don't have to accept this Confucian ruler. ” Cai Yan got up, picked up the ring ruler and slapped it heavily on Qin Lang's handboard, "This ruler is the old man reminding you to keep the measuring ruler in your heart."
This is Cai Yan reminding Qin Lang to stick to his moral bottom line, and Qin Lang is naturally humbly taught.
Subsequently, Cai Yan took Qin Lang to the study.
It's not so much a study room, but a library, because there are at least thousands of books here, and these books actually have oracle bone inscriptions, bamboo scroll inscriptions, silk silk inscriptions, parchment scrolls, etc., this is simply a history and culture museum, I really don't know where Cai Yan got these things.
However, as a "book keeper" and "reader" of Confucianism, it is not surprising that Cai Yan has these collections, after all, this may be the "teaching collection" of Confucianism.
There is no special insurance in the library, it is just an ordinary big lock, but Qin Lang believes that there will definitely be no one here to steal the books, because this place is really different.
In the past, under the rule of the sage, it was possible to "stay open at night and leave no stone unturned", many people thought that the ancients were stupid, but this is not necessarily the case, but the influence and deterrence of the sage's heroic righteousness on many people exist.
If the little thief dares to attack the saint, I am afraid that he will be directly shocked into an idiot by the saint's righteousness.
Of course, the prerequisite must be a saint, a saint and the heavens are in harmony, and the understanding of the heart of heaven will naturally be blessed by the luck of heaven and earth, and it is naturally impossible to be assassinated by the young.
As for this library, as soon as Qin Lang entered here, he knew that this place was definitely not something that young people could enter, because this was not an ordinary library, to be precise, the books here were not ordinary books:
