214, Lectures and Sermons (Requesting Full Order)

Bai Gui received the letter of appointment and then took a bamboo flower basket from Ms. Mai Meide.

Inside the flower basket are some finished products of female red.

Things like handkerchiefs, round fans, mille-feuille shoes, and so on.

He guessed that this should be a handicraft made by the students of Beiman Girls' School, and then put it to good use, and was given by Principal Maimed as a gift for new teachers.

“Everyone gets these little gifts when they join.”

“It’s all the students’ thoughts.”

Ms. Maimed said.

Bai Gui would not do anything to disgrace the scenery, so he accepted the bamboo flower basket.

"By the way, I wonder what subjects Mr. Bai plans to teach?"

"I prefer you, Mr. Bai, to teach Chinese."

"I don't know what you think, Mr. Bai. If you have anything you want to teach, you can put it forward."

Ms. Maimed smiled.

Great scholars like Bai Gui are basically all-rounders in the liberal arts.

That's why she asked.

"If you say so, Ms. Maimed, let's take Chinese."

Bai Gui nodded.

According to what he learned from Bai Xiuzhu, the knowledge taught in these church schools falls into four major categories. One is theological knowledge. After all, it is a church school. Running a school is just a way to preach. The other is natural science knowledge. However, The space is not much and is limited to understanding. The third one is Chinese knowledge, which has a relatively large category and covers a wide range of topics. It includes not only ancient books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, but also selected passages from foreign classics, such as "Robinson" and "English". "Characteristics of the People", "Viewing Paintings in Paris", "Blind Girl", etc. Fourth, there are some self-cultivation courses, such as the compiled "Housework Textbook", which is divided into clothes, things, daily hygiene, dealing with people, parenting, physical education , moral education and many other chapters.

Among these four major categories, Bai Gui can only choose to teach two and three. Although he knows a lot of scientific knowledge, the reason why Beiman Private School hired him is definitely not for him to teach scientific knowledge, but for Chinese education.

Ms. Maimed's words seemed to be a question, but in fact they were just polite.

To put it simply, if Bai Meihe teaches natural science knowledge, his salary can only be the level of a primary school teacher, one hundred and twenty oceans, given his liberal arts level.

"It's still early. Since Mr. Bai is here, why not give a lesson?"

Ms. Maimed said.

She paid a high price and naturally wanted to see the quality of Bai Gui.

There are many literati who can write books, but can't utter a word for a long time.

For example, Han Feizi stuttered.

"Can."

Bai Gui agreed.

In later generations, teachers will have a trial class before signing a contract.

Now that he has signed the contract directly, Ms. Maimed has given him face and enough respect...

Anyway, whether it is today or tomorrow, he has to give a lecture.

It has to happen once.

…

lecture hall.

As the bell rang, the seats were filled with students.

However, even though the desks were full, there were only about twenty people.

According to statistics in the next few years, the total number of female high school students in the country at this time will only be more than 700. Now there are more than 20 people studying in the undergraduate department of Beiman Private School, which is already considered very good.

"Mr. Bai, please come in."

After Ms. Maimed invited Bai Gui to the podium, she went straight to the back seat.

The curtain was drawn on the podium.

Bai Gui coughed lightly and walked to the center of the podium. There was a chair on it, and he sat down with his legs crossed.

Although there was a blackboard at this time, the blackboard had been invented in the 19th century, but now the curtains are used to teach, so the blackboard is obviously not used. Fortunately, these are students from the undergraduate department of Beiman Private School, so they can still understand the lectures even without a blackboard.

"My surname is Bai Minggui, and my courtesy name is Meihe. I'm not famous, but I'm not famous either."

"Some of you may have heard of my name, and some of you may not have heard of it, but after teaching this class, you will definitely know my name, not because of how good I am in this class, but because of how good I am in this class. I am the male gentleman who teaches you..."

Bai Gui said while flipping through the book.

The Chinese textbook of Beiman Girls’ School was probably written privately by Beiman Girls’ School, and he had not seen it outside. Also, Beiman Girls' School is inherently equivalent to a private school, so it is natural that the textbooks should be different from those of the outside world. Besides, the academic system is chaotic at the moment, and the textbooks used in schools in various places are almost different, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Behind the curtain, rows of female students were amused.

However, they did not dare to laugh too loudly. There were prescribed etiquette in the self-cultivation class. If they laughed too loudly, they would be punished.

After hurriedly flipping through the textbook, Bai Gui had a rough idea.

"I estimate that many people in the outside world are now laughing at me, Bai Meihe, for entering a girls' school and becoming a teacher. I don't understand, what is there to laugh at?"

"Since we were born, we have had prenatal education and maternal education..."

"For example, when we are born, the first person to call out is the mother, not the father. Whether it is the king of heaven or the peddler, they all have prenatal education and maternal education before they can accept the next stage of education... …”

"Why, now it's our man's turn to be the woman's husband, so that's no good. There's no such thing in the world!"

He said slowly.

Under the podium, applause sounded like thunder.

"The Book of Rites: Bao Fu says: 'The Queen of the Zhou Dynasty was appointed to be a king. She stood without stooping, sat without leaning forward, was alone without being arrogant, and was not angry even though she was angry. This is called prenatal education.'"

"This is the earliest prenatal education in Chinese history. Tairen taught King Wen of Zhou. King Wen of Zhou was an ancient king and was called 'the hero of three generations' by Confucius..."

"Three Tais, Tai Jiang, Tairen and Tai Gui, have the elegant title of Tai."

"If this example is only in China, I won't say much, but in Greece, the Greek philosopher Aristotle also believed that the first period of early childhood education can be divided into prenatal education in childhood, which is for..."

Bai Gui talked freely and quoted classics. Whether it was Eastern classics or Western books, he could prove it.

And these words, although the female students of Beiman Girls' School had heard and read them in their studies, and might have summarized them together to discuss a certain point of view, still shocked them greatly.

Under the podium, many students also listened carefully without missing a word.

"Plato, Aristotle's teacher, founded the Academy, which was the earliest university. The Renaissance in the Middle Ages originated from Greek philosophy. Plato, one of the three great Greek sages, once said in his Republic: 'They must participate in wars with men and fulfill other guardian obligations. This is their only duty.'"

"It can be seen that Plato advocates that men and women should be equal in status..."

"Today's class ends here."

"If there are any shortcomings in the teaching, please forgive me."

Bai Gui closed the book and bowed to the female students in the audience.

At this moment, the bell rang, and it was time to end the get out of class.

After that, he put the textbook under his ribs and hurried out of the classroom, not wanting to stay any longer.
