See you in the world

Chapter 99 Li is the soul of man

The bell for class rang, and laughter and laughter entered the room from the campus.

In the first class in the afternoon, it was still Yang Yunkong who came, with a bookcase in one hand and a ruler in the other.

In the morning, he used Yunjing to scare the chickens and monkeys, and at lunch, he caught a few more typical examples. Seeing him, a bunch of little kids were very afraid, and sat down obediently without making a sound.

However, he was not the only one who came, behind him was a little boy who looked seven or eight years old.

The little boy was dressed in the same clothes as Yunjing and the others, with horns tied on his head. He was fair and fair. He couldn't be said to be handsome at this age, but he was very good-looking. He would definitely be a handsome guy when he grew up. When he walked into the classroom, he looked at him. A group of children in the classroom looked a little carelessly.

Seeing that child, Yun Jing thought, is this a new classmate?
He glanced at the other party casually, and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the first day of school started, it was normal for some people to fail to arrive in time in the morning, even if people joined him one after another in the next two days, he wouldn't find it strange.

Sure enough, after Yang Yunkong walked into the classroom, he looked at a group of children and said, "Students, he is your new classmate. He will study with you in the future. You don't know him yet. Next, I will ask him to introduce himself. Everyone is familiar with him." familiar"

With that said, he turned around and waved to the little boy, "Lin Yexing, let me introduce myself and let the students get to know you."

The little boy named Lin Yexing didn't know whether it was because he was a little older than Yunjing or because of his background, but he didn't feel stage fright at all in such a situation. He raised his chin slightly and stepped forward. Before him, he looked at a group of children and said with a smile: "Hello, everyone. My name is Lin Yexing, and I come from the county seat. It seems that you are all younger than me, so in my eyes, you are all my younger brothers. What will happen in the future? Even if you come to me, I'm not blowing, I..."

Seeing him chatting with them, with a stern look, although Yang Yunkong had a calm face, but after many years of teaching, he still didn't realize that this guy might be a thorn in the side, so he thought about how to sharpen his spirit .

It doesn't matter where you come from or whose family your child is, you must abide by the rules of the school when you come to the school, even the nobles are no exception!

So before he could finish speaking, he interrupted: "Okay, his name is Lin Yexing, everyone knows him, right?" Having said that, he looked at Lin Yexing again and said, "Student Lin Yexing, you are taller than them. Gao, go to the empty seat at the back and sit down, the class will start soon"

Lin Yexing was obviously a little unsatisfied, and seemed a little wronged, but he still said obediently: "Yes, sir."

When Lin Yexing was introducing himself, Wang Bolin and his group of brats couldn't hide what was going on, they rolled their eyes quietly, as if they didn't want to see that guy pulling [-] to [-] yuan.

Yun Jing felt a little funny in his heart, and secretly thought that with the arrival of this guy named Lin Yexing, his future study life would not be boring.

By the way, it seems that everyone's learning stage, there are one or two special students in the class?
After the episode, Yang Yunkong officially started the class. He looked at everyone and said: "Students, you just entered school today. From now on, you will be dedicated to learning and will accompany you all your life. But for you, it is still too early to learn. For a long time to come, you will mainly learn two things, literacy and etiquette."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said: "Literacy is to lay the foundation for your future studies. Our Dali Dynasty, the official language editor has a total of 3000 more than [-] characters, including commonly used characters and rare characters. Of course, there are so many words with special meaning that it is impossible to master them all in a short time. The commonly used and uncommonly used ones may not even be fully learned and mastered in your lifetime. All your life, take your time. Now you need to learn from the simple ones and master thousands of commonly used words, and then you can gradually get in touch with other aspects of knowledge. Rare words and words with special meanings that are not commonly used will be discussed in the future. In the end, try to master them all as much as possible, so I won’t describe them too much here.”

"The second is etiquette. Etiquette is a manifestation of a person's cultivation and moral character. It will also run through your life. It can even be said that etiquette is the soul of a scholar. If you don't even understand etiquette, such a person will be full of knowledge." No matter how many there are, people will look down upon them. You probably have heard of the word etiquette, right? Ritual and law, etiquette comes before law, etiquette is etiquette, law is law, and etiquette must come before law. This shows etiquette The importance of, of course, this is for us scholars"

"My Dali dynasty has a vast territory and many folk customs. Classmates, elders, parents, teachers, juniors, strangers, quacks... etc., there is a set of etiquette when facing different people. These are all in the future. What you have to learn is that only by integrating etiquette into our souls can we show the demeanor and quality of our scholars."

"As your teaching, I don't teach you how to read and write. What I want to teach is your etiquette. Li is etiquette, and yi is appearance. In the future, you should read carefully, study hard, and ask if you don't understand. You must master it." Good manners, so as not to make jokes in the future. Many times, the etiquette is not in place, and sometimes even a gesture or dress is wrong. Originally praising people or receiving guests may turn into humiliating and offending people, so don’t be careless. You must study etiquette seriously”

Having said so much, Yang Yunkong emphasized the importance of etiquette.

After finishing speaking, he paused for a while to let the children digest. Of course, he didn't expect these children to understand the importance of etiquette right away, or that sentence, whether it is knowledge or etiquette, will be accompanied by a The life of a scholar is to take it slowly in the future.

There is no end to learning, nothing more than this.

After a while, facing a group of ignorant children, he continued: "Next, you take out the etiquette book, that is, the book with a picture of a character drawn on the cover, and we start to learn the most basic etiquette."

It turned out that this book was about etiquette, Yun Jing thought to himself after taking out the book, at first he thought it was some kind of martial arts secret book...

After everyone took it out, Yang Yunkong said: "The content in the book is comparative, and you can't understand it. Now, don't read the book, look at me. I originally wanted to teach you the sitting posture today, but you come from different places." , are not familiar with each other, so I will teach you the etiquette of greeting people under normal circumstances!"

After everyone looked at him, he stretched out his hands to the crowd, first shook his left hand and said: "This is the left hand. In many etiquettes, the left hand usually represents ourselves", then he shook his right hand and said: " Second, the right hand represents others”

After everyone almost understood, he put his hands together, made a gesture of clasping his fists and said, "This is the simplest bowing ceremony. Maybe everyone has seen it more or less?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

Then he said again: "Do you think this boxing ceremony is very simple? But what I want to tell you is that there are too many details in it. I will give you a brief explanation now. You only need to do a preliminary understanding. , I will learn more slowly in the future..."

"As I said just now, in many etiquettes, the left hand represents oneself and the right hand represents others, so there are many sayings about this simple clasped fist salute. Instead, wrap it with your right hand. Facing the elders, this is respect for the elders. Conversely, when we hug the younger generation, we must wrap the right hand with the left hand to show that we are the elders. There is a saying in this , facing the elders, wrapping the left hand with the right hand on behalf of others means expecting the elders to be tolerant to the younger generation.”

"There are too many details in this simple clasping ceremony. I still use the analogy of the clasping ceremony to the elders. Specifically, the five fingers of the left hand form a palm, the thumb is bent in the palm, and then a fist is made. The thumb of the left hand also represents us. For yourself, hold your thumb in your palm and salute your elders to show your humility, then cover your left hand with your right hand, the four fingers of your right hand should be attached to the outside of your left fist, and the thumb of your right hand should be pressed against the big toe of your left fist. On the thumb joint, this is a simple clasping salute to the elders, but this is not over, it can even be said to be the beginning of this simple etiquette. After doing this action, facing different elders, our next actions will be different. If we are facing a mentor, parents, or elders like this, we need to clench our fists in front of our chest, then bend down and bow our heads, and raise our fists upwards. Simply lift the boxing action on the chest upwards. If you are facing an unfamiliar elderly elder, you only need to push this action forward. If you are facing an elder who has a grudge against you, you can press down. It means to humiliate the other party. This is just a simple ceremony for the elders. There are more sayings in it. Don't mess around, even the elders you hate are still elders, you can express your dissatisfaction with formal etiquette, but you must not mess it up!"

Yang Yunkong said a lot, this is just a simple fist-cup ceremony of the elders, one can imagine that there is a lot of knowledge in such things as etiquette, and a group of children were immediately stunned.

Among them, Yunjing remembered all his movements and key points, but he also knew not all of them. He didn't think he had fully understood this simple fist-cup ceremony to the elders. This was just a simple example of Yang Yunkong, not a real teaching of etiquette.

Obviously Yang Yunkong didn't expect these children to understand right away, it was just a simple description.

Then he said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about what I said just now. You will learn it in detail in the future. Now, let me teach you a very common fist hug salute. It is a fist hug salute for classmates, friends and peers. Grasp the fist, the left hand covers the right hand, and then the details come, the salute of the same generation, the thumbs of both hands need to be juxtaposed on the fist, if you are facing a close friend, at this time, you represent that your left thumb needs to be behind, To show humility to close friends and close friends, if you are an ordinary friend or classmate, you can put the thumb of your left hand in front, and then place it on your chest and push it flat to salute. , but you admire his knowledge. On the basis of the previous action, you need the thumb of your left hand behind. When you salute, you can raise your fist up to show your respect for the other party. And learning, you can represent your left hand with the thumb in front, pressing down instead of pushing flat, which is a bit humiliating, and it is not a last resort. If you hate or even hate your peers, you can simply put the representative The thumb of the other person's right hand is in the palm of his hand, it is extremely humiliating, to put it in a bad way, a scholar scolds and humiliates others, there is no need to say a word, just one action..."

"Okay, so much to say, this is just the simplest peer salute. In today's lesson, we will mainly study this. Next, I will teach you step by step. After learning, you must thoroughly master the practice of saluting each other. the etiquette"

After he finished speaking, the detailed teaching and practice phase of this simple etiquette officially started, including standing posture, tone of voice, etc. The details are overwhelming.

Yun Jing once knew that there were many etiquettes in ancient times, but he didn't realize how complicated they are. There are so many sayings about a simple salute. This is just the fist-slapping ceremony of his generation, and it also involves different people and occasions. , it can be said that this simple boxing ceremony is itself a profound knowledge!

A group of children studied hard and didn't dare to laugh and laugh. Even if they made mistakes, Yang Yunkong would patiently correct them and guide them.

From now on, Yang Yunkong will only teach them etiquette. This is a very profound course, and it is also extremely important. It is related to a person's cultivation and morality. One must not be careless at all. It matters a lot if people even make enemies...
