"Ah?" Song Ying was confused.

Yuan Qing uttered an "uh" and then remembered that she had just learned a few words and had no idea how she could understand all this, so she explained it again in plain language.

When his obscure and profound words came out, Song Ying was shocked. He no longer mentioned learning to read first, but honestly learned the prerequisites for practicing calligraphy, such as posture, pen holding, and pen movement.

After two quarters of an hour, Song Ying had basically mastered them, so Yuan Qing asked her to write again the few words he had taught her yesterday.

"Well, that's all right, but you still need to practice harder."

After receiving the affirmation, Song Ying was in high spirits and said happily: "Okay, I will practice more!"

Yuan Qing nodded and began to teach formally. With his previous experience, he did not show off his knowledge and directly said in plain language: "In the community school, we first learned Zhu Xi's "Tongmeng Xuzhi" and "Xiaoxue", and then learned Sanbaiqianqian.

But I think that we should first learn the three hundred thousand characters so that we can recognize characters. It is enough to listen to the "Tong Meng Xu Zhi" which teaches us how to dress, speak, walk, sweep, read and write. After we know enough characters, we can recite and learn them by ourselves. The same is true for "Xiao Xue".

Therefore, I will first teach you the Three Hundreds, Thousands, and Thousands. The so-called Three Hundreds, Thousands, and Thousands refer to the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, Thousand Character Classic, and Thousand Family Poems. After learning these, you can be considered to have entered the stage of elementary education;"

After a pause, he added: “The Three Character Classic begins with teaching benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety, and then goes on to talk about the classics, culture, and history of past dynasties;

"Hundred Family Surnames" covers almost all surnames. If you learn it, there will be no surname you don't know.

The Thousand Character Classic was written by Zhou Xingsi in one night during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The text has 1,000 characters, and no characters are repeated. Learning it means knowing 1,000 characters.

The poems selected in "Thousands of Poems" are mostly famous poems by famous Tang and Song Dynasty poets. After learning all of them, you can probably master 2000-3000 different characters, which is enough to meet your daily needs.

After that, we studied the Four Books and Five Classics. Although you don’t need to take the imperial examination, you can still learn about them; or read "Dui Lei", "Yun Shi Xun" and "Xun Meng Pian Ju" to learn rhymed poems and couplets. "

At this point, he felt a little embarrassed, "I can't teach you these. Rhymed poems and couplets are not tested in the imperial examinations and provincial examinations. They are only tested occasionally in the academy examinations, prefecture examinations, and county examinations, but the proportion is not large, so we didn't study them in depth."

Song Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this. Her previous idea was to learn different characters from Yuan Qing, and once she had mastered most of them, she would be done. If she encountered characters she didn't know later, she could just ask him for help.

I never expected that Yuan Qing's arrangement would be like this. How is this different from going to school properly?

Suddenly, she felt that she had failed to live up to Yuan Qing's teachings.

Although she wanted to learn formal articles and books, she thought about it and begged, "Can you teach me the names of Yan Xing and Xiao Xiang first?"

She can write her own name now, and she also wants Yanxing and Xiaoxiang to know and write their own names.

"Okay." Yuan Qing was not rigid in this regard. "Hey, who is Yan Xing?"

After the experience on the Lantern Festival night, he thought he had recognized all the girls in Xinghua Village and had never heard of any girl named Yanxing.

Song Ying smiled with a bit of complacency: "Even Lai Di, she has a new name too. I helped her choose it from the riddle on my lantern that night."

Yuan Qing thought about it briefly and remembered the riddle of her revolving lantern. She was amazed and said, "You are really a good student. You don't even know the words, but you can apply what you have learned just by listening to them. It's amazing!"

Song Ying's smile became brighter and brighter, and the joy in her heart almost overflowed. She thought, how pleasant it is to be with Yuan Qing.

He often praises her, and not in the way that she is sensible, obedient, and capable, which brings benefits to others. He really praises her as a person, and it is pure admiration.

Yuan Qing picked up the pen and said, "Look, I'm going to teach you Luo Yanxing's name first. Pay attention to the order of the strokes."

Song Ying was extremely alert, his eyes completely fixed on his writing. At the same time, he waved his right hand holding the pen and followed the writing in mid-air, trying his best to memorize it as quickly as possible.

This is different from writing on the ground yesterday. The water stains will evaporate quickly. If you don’t take note carefully, you will have no reference in a while.

After Yuan Qing finished writing, Song Ying picked up his pen and began writing on his own bluestone slab, stroke by stroke.

After finishing writing, he compared it with Yuan Qing's and asked, "Is that right?"

After getting Yuan Qing's approval, she wrote it several times in the blank space next to it to reinforce her memory.

Afterwards, Yuan Qing taught her Zhao Xiaoxiang, and she quickly mastered it.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Qing said: "I will teach you the names of your family members as well: Tian, Yuan, Fu'an, and Fuping."

When Song Ying heard the name Fuping, she was stunned. This was her father's name.

"These characters, plus the word Song that you learned, will be their names."

Song Ying came back to his senses, suppressed his disappointment, and started to study seriously.

After she got the hang of it, Yuan Qing asked, "What are the names of your grandmother and second aunt?"

I may occasionally hear a man’s name from adults, but I don’t know a woman’s name. In most cases, I only know her surname.

"My mother's name is Wang Suqing, my second aunt's name is Yang Lan, and my grandmother... uh, I don't know what my grandmother's name is."

Song Ying was very embarrassed. Her mother was mentioned unintentionally by others when they were lamenting her life experience. Second Aunt Yang's name only appeared when Li was angry and swearing at others.

But Li was the elder, and no one in the family dared to call her by her name. Even if outsiders quarreled with her, they would only call her "old woman" and never mention her name.

Seeing her embarrassment, Yuan Qing said, "Go back and ask. I'll teach you next time. Do you want to learn the names of your other partners?"

"Not for now." Song Ying learned the names of Luo Yanxing and Zhao Xiaoxiang in order to teach them to recognize their own names.

She is learning to read from Yuan Qing, and she cannot tell others yet, so there is no rush to find out their names.

Yuan Qing nodded and said, "Let's teach you the Three Character Classic first."

As he spoke, he quickly wrote a line of words on the slate, "Repeat after me, man is born good, natures are similar, but habits make them different."

He wrote too fast and there were too many words. Song Ying only remembered the order of the first few words. He was so anxious: "Can you write it again? I don't remember it."

Yuan Qing said, "Don't worry, just read with me first."

Song Ying had no choice but to follow along.

After reading it, Yuan Qing explained the meaning to her sentence by sentence. During this time, the water stains naturally dried up, and Yuan Qing wrote it again.

Because it was only a short sentence, Song Ying easily memorized the character shape and stroke order.

After explaining the entire paragraph, Yuan Qing rewrote every sentence at least once, and Song Ying naturally remembered them all.

Then, Song Ying picked up the pen and wrote it once, and after finding no mistakes, he repeated the meaning again.

Only then did Yuan Qing start teaching the next section.

Considering that she was a beginner, the teaching stopped at 'be close to teachers and friends, and learn etiquette'.
