Chapter 53 talk about teachers

Han Yu, a master of ancient prose in the Tang Dynasty, in his article "Shi Shuo", said with emotion: Huh!It has been a long time since the way of teachers has not been passed on!It is also difficult to want people without confusion!The ancient saints were far away from others, and they still asked if they were teachers; today's people are also far away from the saints, and they are ashamed to learn from their teachers; Holy, is it because of this that fools are stupid? This article was given by Han Tuizhi to his disciple Li Pan.Therefore, there is a saying at the end of the article: Li's Zipan, seventeen years old, good at ancient prose, and the six arts classics, all learned well, regardless of the time; learning from Yu, Yu Jiaqi can practice the ancient way, and be a teacher to teach it to benefit him.

Li Pan was a Jinshi and younger brother in the 19th year of Zhenyuan, Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty. From this, it can be inferred that Han Changli's article "Shi Shuo" was written around the 10th year of Zhenyuan.And Mrs. Han was born from 768 to 824 AD (he was fifty-seven years old). Around the tenth year of Zhenyuan, Mrs. Han was only twenty-eight or nine years old. In this article, it is said: I am a teacher, and the husband knows that he was born to me in the order of his age?That's why there is no nobility, no baseness, no age, no youth, the existence of the Tao, the existence of the teacher.

The limitation of this period of teacher-student friendship happened around the tenth year of Emperor Dezong's Zhenyuan, more than 1,180 years ago.And more than 1,180 years ago, scholars felt that teachers are not ancient. It can be seen that the difficulty of being a teacher and the impoliteness of students have long existed. However, once you get a good student and teach it, the feeling of relief , beyond words. Speaking of this, looking at the world today, many people still feel that teachers are not ancient, and think that most modern young people do not respect teachers enough, show a weak relationship between teachers and students, and even openly be rude to teachers.This is certainly very emotional, but thinking about the era in which Han Yu lived, there was already such a phenomenon that the teaching of teachers had not been passed on for a long time, so what is there to be angry about now?It can only be affirmed that from ancient times to the present, no matter whether students do not respect teachers enough, or teachers do not uphold morality, it has always been just the bad side; and the good side, good students and good teachers, must have always existed.But if it is measured by the teacher-student relationship in the Confucius era, then of course there will be too much emotion.

In today's industrial society, the imparting of knowledge has to be turned into a kind of transaction, and what's more, it has been greatly influenced by the west wind, so what can I say!As a teacher today, in addition to doing my best and persevering in doing what I want, I have to look away from others.
