The room is gray and white, full of antiques. There is a kind portrait of Confucius and its introduction on the wall, with two rows of short cases in the middle. There are many scrolls, case books and ancient books on several cases near the door, which are very old.
At this time, several students also came in. They chirped and shouted, "Sir, we are coming to class." "Sir, I also come to class." I also walked over to say. A beautiful young lady, with long hair and shawl, dressed in ancient costume and gentle. She kindly changed me into a gray bachelor's uniform, tied a black belt and put on a bachelor's hat, and I suddenly became a student of Mr. Kong.
Before class, Mr. Wang asked us to salute Mr. Kong, "Hold your chest with both hands-bow your head and worship high." Under the leadership of Teacher Wang, we all raised our hands above our heads and bowed to Confucius.
The formal class began, and we knelt in front of several cases. Mr. Wang first introduced the life of Confucius to us, and then asked us to read along. We all thought it was very fresh, so we smiled and read it and dragged it down. Teacher Wang criticized us for reading irregularly, and corrected our sitting posture and volume from time to time ..... Alas, our legs were sore, and we twisted our bodies from time to time to adjust our sitting posture.
Later, Mr. Wang asked us to open some bamboo slips on the boxes. As soon as I saw it, it was full of its knowledge of me, but I couldn't recognize all its traditional Chinese characters. Teacher Wang asked us to read after her: "Disciples' training, saints' training, filial piety first ..." We read it as if we were in an ancient school. Kneeling for a while, the students in front finally couldn't sit still, stood up and ran around the house, making a loud noise, with bamboo slips on their heads ... Oh, it's no wonder, how can we children who are spoiled by our parents at home calm down and "suffer this crime" and honestly read Disciples Rules?
After class, Mr. Wang told us: "Only by reviewing the past and learning the new can we be a teacher." . Go back and copy what you said today twice, and then recite it. Think about what you did badly in the past and correct it later. "Then we will stand up slowly, point cinnabar one by one, write calligraphy, knock gongs, and finally bow to Mr. Wang and walk out of the school gate. ......
This "crossing" made me feel the elegance of Confucian culture and the meticulous requirements of ancient people to study. Looking forward to the second "crossing" and becoming Mr. Kong's student again.
