Three Kingdoms

When Fei Qian came to Taoshan again, the construction of the academy was almost complete. There were still some finishing work that needed to be done later, but you could take your time and don't be in a hurry.

Fei Qian strolled up, accompanied by Linghu Shao.

Obviously, such a place is very suitable for Linghu Shao. The construction work is complicated, and Linghu Shao is basically busy all the time. He is almost tanned, but he doesn't care and looks very happy. .

Linghu Shao pointed to the steps paved with gray-white stones at his feet and said: "This step goes up from the Qumen at the foot of the mountain. There are more than 800 steps in total. Although it is not paved with the whole board, it is the same in quality and color. Looking from a distance. If it is the time of spring, when the mountains are full of green trees, the peach blossoms are red, the mountain paths are white and the rocks are white, and the students' shirts are green, it will be a beautiful scene in the world!"

Speaking of this, Linghu Shao raised his head slightly, his eyes showing longing, obviously immersed in his own imagination.

Fei Qian nodded slightly, smiled, and continued to move forward.

Of course, spring is the best time to appreciate peach blossoms. Unfortunately, it is now autumn. The remaining leaves on the peach trees on the mountains and below are crumbling. A gust of autumn wind blows, and the yellow leaves are flying like butterflies. However, it also feels a bit desolate. I think there are many. The sad and sorrowful scribes will definitely linger over this scene, reciting poems and writing poems.

After all, there were no convenient stone cutting machines in the Han Dynasty, so it was already a very luxurious act to use scattered knocked stones to create a flat surface as a step like it is now. But paving the road with all stone slabs would be a very luxury. It has to be upgraded to the national level, such as the streets in Luoyang...

Linghu Shao came to his senses and asked: "May I ask Zhonglang, the foot of the mountain is called Qumen, what is the name of this path?"

Fei Qian thought for a moment, pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's call it 'Youdao'..."

"Is there a way?" Linghu Shao murmured for a moment and couldn't help stroking his palms and sighing, "Wonderful, wonderful, you can enter Qumen and learn the path in a right way, which is exactly what you want!"

Fei Qian smiled, didn't say anything, and continued going up.

In fact, the word "you" used by Fei Qian does not have only one meaning. Since it is borrowed from Lin Zong's name, using the word "youdao" also echoes it, and it can also be regarded as the meaning in Fengya Song, but it can also Whether it is considered to be the meaning within the Tao Te Ching depends on each person's cultural level and understanding ability.

The academy was built on the hillside, which is the site of the dilapidated Taoist temple. Because the materials were not easy to transport, we used what was available as much as possible. The foundation was dug three feet further in accordance with Fei Qian's requirements. , and then bury stone strips as the foundation, so that the buildings on it are generally stable enough.

The school palace is mainly blue and white, with blue bricks and white walls. There are no carved beams or paintings at all. Everything is the simplest and most plain appearance.

The academy is divided into three entrances. After entering the main entrance of Sanlian, there is a large square square in front of the palace. It must be a place for holding entrance ceremonies and other ceremonies. There are two floors on the left and right, with a total of four large rooms. The wing room can accommodate more students to attend classes together.

There are no statues of Confucius or saints in the main hall, so this is not a place to pay homage to Confucius and eat cold pork. In the north of the main hall, there is a small pulpit with incense burners and screens on both sides. There are white-coated mats under the pulpit. In fact, some of them are like the Xun family forum, which is a place for classic debate.

After debate, if there are a large number of people, it is also called a clear talk.

In fact, in the process of exploration and thinking, people have in-depth discussions on many propositions with philosophical significance, such as the origin and the end, existence and non-being, movement and stillness, one and many, body and function, speech and meaning, etc.

Later, after the introduction of Buddhism, this model was adopted.

Classical debate is usually dominated by one person, while free talk is a bit like the debate competition of later generations. The seat where people talk is called "tantan sit", the terminology used for discussion is called "tantanduan", the citation of scriptures when speaking is called "tanzheng", and the language used for discussion is called "tanfeng".

After "explaining", "asking questions", and "talking about help", you can coordinate and shake hands to make peace, or you can each insist on your own words and refuse to give in to each other, so someone comes out to mediate and temporarily ends the discussion, which is called "Ichiban" , there may be "two rounds" and "three rounds" in the future, until the conclusion is reached, the winning side is a victory theory, and the losing side is a defeat theory.

Fei Qian looked around the entire hall. Apart from the pulpit, there were no other hanging statues, statues, wood carvings, etc. There was only a strong academic atmosphere. There must be many students gathering here in the future. Together, we insisted on our own opinions and argued until our faces turned red...

In the Han Dynasty, there was more respect for people, that is, one's own abilities. It had not yet been elevated to the level of worship of gods, and there was no abstract saint...

Fei Qian looked at the podium three steps up and said, "Uncle Kong, would you like to take the stage to give a lecture?"

Linghu Shao quickly waved his hand and said: "Shao's literature is shallow, how can he be virtuous?"

"Uncle Kong is now a doctor in the academy. Why can't he speak freely? Don't be too humble. The way of learning is to advance without retreating..." Fei Qian chuckled and said, "If you weren't entangled in secular affairs, you would still want to be in the world. Sitting here and discussing the Tao will be a joy to live in."

Of course, Fei Qian is just talking. Although he is an official with two thousand stones now, when he gets to the academic circles of the Han Dynasty, it is not official rank at all, but the understanding and mastery of scriptures. Therefore, Fei Qian was still a little-known figure in the academic circles of the Han Dynasty, and he knew his own situation well. Although he had studied hard in the past two years, how could he compare with those who had been around books since birth?

Within the second step, after passing the main hall, there are two functional attics, the library and the meeting hall, one on the left and one on the right, one high and one low, standing on both sides of the main hall. Is this the meaning of the blue dragon and white tiger position?

Did the Han Dynasty also pay attention to this?

Fei Qian didn't know much about it, so he didn't comment.

On both sides of the library and the assembly hall, there are also small double-story buildings with wing rooms. The rooms are smaller than those in front of the hall and are divided into three rooms on each floor. In this way, the place for students to attend classes is basically enough.

In the middle of the small square behind the main hall, a small two-story pavilion was built separately. There were two and four large urns on the left and right downstairs, filled with water. There are bells and drums hanging on the upper floor of the small building, morning bells and evening drums, ah, no, it should be morning drums and evening bells. Later Buddhism did not know why it was reversed. Maybe it was to sensationalize and act alone?

At the end of both sides of the corridor is a building with three floors, each with a door and a window. The space is not large. It should be the accommodation for overnight students. There is a building at the left and right ends of the second courtyard. The side door is closed under normal circumstances.

Is there a toilet in this room? Is there a bathhouse?

Feel sorry.

There was a legendary item in ancient times called a chamber pot. There is also something called Mu Vacation.

After passing the circular courtyard gate that serves as a partition, you enter the courtyard at the back. This area is obviously provided for the residence of academic doctors. It uses the original vegetation and borrows mountain streams to create a pond. Gravel paths wind through the peach grove, and several small courtyards are scattered along the mountain. Distribution, each has its own charm.

There is also a separate three-story building standing on one side of the road, and an elegant pavilion is built between the peach trees and the pond.

Of course, the size of each small courtyard is certainly not as large as those of large families, but it is better than being in a separate courtyard, and no one is disturbed. Therefore, overall, both the environment and facilities are quite complete.

The canteen, kitchen and other utility rooms and other facilities are naturally outside the academy, a little to the east. According to Linghu Shao, the books are pure and cannot be stained by fireworks...

Although it is a bit extreme, there is nothing wrong with it. There were no fire extinguishers in the Han Dynasty. Although there were large urns for storing water, it would still be a headache if a fire broke out, so it was necessary to isolate the stove fire.

Overall, Fei Qian is quite satisfied. There may be opportunities to expand it in the future, but the current structure is enough to accommodate a certain number of students.

Everything is ready, but the east wind is moving a little slower...

The project manager took his younger brother to play with pesticides together...

Also drunk...

I don’t care at all, and it’s clear that I want to delay the rhythm until the end of the year...

Does it make sense just to get an extra month or two of salary at a foreign construction site?
