Chinese characters have a long history, and the earliest Chinese characters found in archaeology appeared more than 7,700 years ago.
This situation is unique in the world, and no culture can compare with the inheritance of Chinese civilization, especially the inheritance of Chinese civilization has never been broken, among them, the credit of Chinese characters is indelible.
Among the Chinese characters, there is a character that not only appeared very early, but also the meaning represented by this Chinese character also plays an irreplaceable and important role in the inheritance of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years.
This Chinese character is "teacher".
The first explanation of the word "teacher" in the Chinese dictionary is "a person who educates people." ” And the name "division" existed in the Xia and Shang periods, and in the oracle bone inscriptions, there was the title of "literary teacher".
Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty used the word "teacher", and Sima Qian used the word "teacher", and they both focused on the exemplary role of the teacher.
In the Qin and Han dynasties, the word "master" also appeared, but at that time this word specifically referred to the emperor's teacher, the so-called "as a master, a noble minister", in that era, the use of "master" had a certain exclusivity.
But by the Tang Dynasty, the word "master" gradually evolved into "master", and there was little difference in meaning between the two.
But the word "Master" is a little more emotionally tinged.
The so-called "a teacher for one day, a father for life" is enough to prove the meaning of the word "master".
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the meaning of the word "master" became more and more important, when the master accepted disciples, and the disciples often lived in the master's house, and the master paid money and food to carefully cultivate the disciples, and regarded the disciples as family members.
The disciple treats the master like his own son, and when the master returns to the West, the disciple must also wear linen and filial piety like the master's parent Although "Master" and "Disciple" are two opposite words, the relationship between the two is as intimate as the relationship between "Father" and "Son".
In modern times, with the further emancipation of the mind, many industries do not pay attention to the master and disciple, on the surface this is a kind of ideological progress, but in fact it is lost an extremely important inheritance in Chinese civilization But fortunately, even in modern times, there are many industries that still maintain this ancient tradition, where teachers work hard to find their own disciples, and then devote their lives to teaching and cultivating disciples, so that the disciples can pass on the master's unique skills, so as to ensure that the lineage continues.
And this kind of disciple is usually called "personal disciple" in the circle to distinguish him from other ordinary disciples.
There is a great difference between personal disciples and ordinary disciples, just as Confucius had 3,000 disciples and 72 sages, in fact, those 72 sages are Confucius's personal disciples, and as for those 3,000 disciples, they are ordinary disciples.
In the antique shop, in fact, this ancient inheritance has always been adhered to, especially the more top masters are, the more attention is paid to this inheritance.
This is also why during the Spring Festival, Cai Yi and the four of them quarreled directly in order to compete for Yang Jing, a personal disciple, regardless of Yang Lao's presence.
For these top masters, a good personal disciple is as important as his own son.
Of course, these top masters are not short of money or things, and their lives can be described as worry-free.
But what they lack is a disciple who can pass on their skills and ensure that their skills will not be cut off.
For these masters, if no one inherits their skills and causes them to be cut off, it can simply make them "die blindly"!
Therefore, once these master-level characters meet a good disciple, if they don't say it, they will tear their faces and rob them!
It's a matter of their lifetime, and nothing is more important to these accomplished masters.
With a population of 1.3 billion, it is not so easy to find a suitable personal disciple in the vast sea of people, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "can be met but not sought".
Liu Lao, 72 years old this year, is a top expert specializing in bronzes and bronzes at the Palace Museum, and is also one of the top masters in the national circle.
He began to look for a suitable personal disciple at the age of 50, and after more than 20 years of searching, the disciple was still nowhere to be found.
Xiao Lao is 71 years old this year, a top master of calligraphy and painting in the Palace Museum, and his cursive handwriting is among the best in the national calligraphy circle.
He has also been looking for a personal disciple who can inherit his mantle since he was in his fifties, but before the Spring Festival in 2018, the disciple was still empty.
Guo Lao is 69 years old this year and is a top cultural preservation expert at the Palace Museum.
Those who can do cultural preservation work in the Palace Museum are the top masters.
His situation is similar to that of Liu Lao and Xiao Lao, and he has not had a disciple in person.
As for Cai Yi, although he looks less than sixty years old, it is because he is well maintained, in fact, he is also sixty-three years old.
As the top porcelain master of the Palace Museum, his attainments in porcelain are naturally needless to say, and only the position of director of the Institute of Ancient Porcelain is enough to prove his achievements in porcelain.
Cai Yi, like the other three elders, has been looking for a suitable personal disciple for twenty years, and before he met Yang Jing, he once thought that he might not be able to find a personal disciple in his life.
As a result, Yang Jing, who was born out of nowhere, suddenly appeared in the eyes of Cai Yi, Liu Lao and Guo Lao, the three top masters.
At the beginning, these three top people didn't want to accept Yang Jing as their personal disciples, but as they got in touch with Yang Jing more and more, Yang Jing's demonic intuition and luck made these three people seem to see a peerless treasure.
And after a period of understanding, the three of them were very satisfied with Yang Jing's temperament, so the three of them moved the idea of accepting Yang Jing as their own disciple.
The three of them are very aware of the importance of their own disciples, so they have very strict requirements for the selection of their own disciples, otherwise the three of them would not have been looking for more than 20 years and still haven't found a suitable disciple.
But once the right candidate appears, they will be like hungry wolves who see fresh flesh and blood, and they will pounce on them without caring about their own image.
As a result, their reckless robbery of disciples ended up cheapening the later Xiao Lao If it weren't for the pressure of Yang Lao, it is estimated that there would be a real PK between these four top masters to decide the ownership of Yang Jing's disciple A disciple like Yang Jing who is favored by the ancestor and can even be said to be no different from the ancestor master's own son, which top master doesn't like it?
In particular, this young man not only has a strong talent, but the most important thing is that he has a good heart, which is what these four masters value the most.
Since deciding to accept Yang Jing as a personal disciple, several masters have conducted extremely detailed investigations on Yang Jing, especially since they have the biggest cheat of Old Man Yang, so the four of them know almost everything about Yang Jing's experience from childhood to adulthood.
This child came from an ordinary family and did not have any background.
Although his girlfriend's family background is very unusual, it is Yang Jing's girlfriend, not Yang Jing.
The most gratifying thing for the four masters is that Yang Jing suddenly became rich, but he did not lose himself, and this child still maintains a very simple heart.

If there was anything that the four old men were a little unhappy with, it was that the child had suddenly emigrated abroad.
This made the four old men a little puzzled.
However, at that lunch a week ago, after Yang Jing clearly explained to the four old men why he wanted to emigrate abroad, the knots in the hearts of the four masters disappeared.
After all, Yang Jing's kid still has his own business, and the four of them know some things about business, especially tax matters, so all four of them can understand why Yang Jing immigrated to Cyprus.
When Yang Jing explained to them, of course, he couldn't say that he had emigrated abroad to confirm the "half-established loophole" of the Holy Ring, and he could only use business things to explain the reason why he had emigrated abroad.
Fortunately, several old men know that in the current prosperous era, even if you want to collect, you can't do without abundant financial support.
Without massive financial support, what to collect is always the moon in the mirror.
Therefore, for Yang Jing's practice of making money through business, and then feeding back into the collection industry, several old men still agree very much.
In this way, under the suggestion of Mr.
Yang, under the condition that the four masters are all in vain, and under the premise that Yang Jing is willing to worship the four masters as masters at the same time, the Chinese antique collection industry finally ushered in a sensational day.
On April 28, 2018, the thirteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the ceremony of accepting apprentices by four top masters of the Chinese antique collecting industry was held in a luxury villa at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the western suburbs of Yanjing.
This luxury villa was provided by Liu Lao's son, to be exact, this villa was given to Liu Lao's eldest son who was in the real estate business a few years ago - this villa area was developed by Liu Lao's eldest son.
It's just that this place is far away from where Liu Lao works, and it is too inconvenient to enter and exit Yanjing City in these years, so Liu Lao has not lived in this villa much, but has been living in the small courtyard on Gulou Street.
It is a grand event in the industry for a top master like Liu Lao to accept his own disciples, especially when the four top masters jointly accept his own disciples, which is an amazing thing.
Therefore, on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, there will be a lot of guests who come to watch the ceremony.
Whether it is the small courtyard where Liu Lao and Xiao Lao live now, or the building where Guo Lao and Cai Yi live, it is impossible to undertake such a large-scale apprenticeship ceremony, so Liu Lao used the villa given by his son.
And early in the morning of this day, all kinds of vehicles began to converge on this villa from the outside, and all the old gentlemen with crane hair and childish faces appeared in this villa
