After broadcasting the ancient times live, I handed the system over to the state.

They understand mathematics too.

English...is that what foreigners speak?

Why do we need to learn this?

Many people under the sky frowned.

(Liu Che, Emperor Wu of Han: Why do we still need to learn the language of these foreigners?)

Zhu Qinggu also saw many comments asking this question, so she simply gave a brief answer: "Because during a crucial period of global development, China lost its voice, and English became one of the most important languages ​​in the world."

"It is also one of the most widely used languages. Most importantly, a large amount of scientific research, technical documents, and news reports are written in English. Language hegemony is also a form of hegemony."

They didn't quite understand what these things meant, but later generations valued science highly. When they heard that science could strengthen the country and enrich the people, they knew it was very important.

Having a long history has these advantages: when people are struggling with something, they can quickly find a template in history.

When Qin unified the six states, it standardized the writing system. Everyone used the same script. Wouldn't the remaining people of the six states have used a different script?

How can one understand government decrees without them? How can one understand classical texts?

"However, with the development of the times and the strength of the country, more and more foreigners have begun to learn Chinese and even praise everything about China. This is because great scholars have come to defend our classics, but we must always be vigilant about whether these are good or bad."

Ma Rong was also looking at the sky, and he was quite moved, thinking that this was what it would be like for everyone in later generations to have received an education.

Just as a ruler has different lengths, so too does a person's knowledge vary in quality. Although not everyone can quote classical texts, Ma Rong felt that they could always use extremely concise idioms when speaking.

The girls who were Zhu's roommates before were like that.

Thinking about this, Ma Rong felt that the world had developed too fast. During the Qing Dynasty, apart from the different customs and emperors, there were still emperors and generals. How could the world have changed so much in just over a hundred years?

As later generations have said, the speed of development is faster than in the past few thousand years.

"Could it be because of this education?" Ma Rong was extremely reluctant to think about this, after all, studying Confucianism was a lifelong pursuit for him.

Even Zheng Xuan once studied under him.

……

"Ordinary primary school students graduate at the age of twelve and then enter the next stage of learning, junior high school, which is a three-year system, and the content of the studies increases every year."

Zhu Qinggu searched the table of contents of some first-year junior high school textbooks on Baidu and then said, "In addition to the previous three subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English, history, politics, biology and geography have been added, and physics and chemistry will be added later."

Through Zhu Qinggu's quick search on Baidu, they also saw what history and politics were in the window.

History is about studying history. If even these teenagers have to study history, does that mean they also have to study politics?

What, then, is a living being?

Some doctors were also greatly surprised when they saw the superficial details about plants in biology textbooks.

Pei Xiu, Shen Kuo, Li Daoyuan, Xu Xiake, and other people who made significant contributions to geography looked at the geography textbook that was only glanced at, and the size of the earth, land and ocean... made them very curious.

And then there's that obscure physical chemistry...

They seemed to have seen "Organic Chemistry" on Ms. Zhu's desk. I wonder if it's related to chemistry?

Then Zhu Qinggu talked to them about high school.

Some people are very interested in high school math, so Zhu Qinggu looked up some high school math textbooks, and then...

They sat on wax.

What is the derivative?

What is calculus...?

"Mathematics is the foundation of many disciplines, and learning mathematics has applications in daily life, such as buying groceries and keeping accounts, and then it extends to manufacturing and using weapons..." Zhu Qinggu also talked a lot about why mathematics is so important and why it is so obscure.

Zu Chongzhi was quite interested in these things, but unfortunately he had already used up his chance to comment, so he couldn't speak anymore. It seemed he would have to use it at a crucial moment next time and ask Miss Zhu about the circle.

After discussing high school, Zhu Qinggu inevitably brought up the college entrance examination. "The college entrance examination is a major turning point in life. It can be said that the first important choice for how you will develop in the future is the college entrance examination. The college entrance examination cannot determine your life or death, but it is an opportunity for many people to change their destiny."

"Because the essence of the college entrance examination is to select talents worth cultivating. After entering university, we will choose a subject to refine our knowledge, just like the ancients studied the Four Books and Five Classics, but in the end, we will choose some classics that are suitable for us to study."

"Some subjects with high barriers to entry and high popularity require high scores, so the college entrance examination is a very important opportunity, an opportunity to cross the threshold."

The ancients under the sky understood this feeling, especially those who had taken the imperial examinations multiple times.

Huang Chao laughed loudly, "So what if I take the exam? So what if I don't? Since you won't let me into Chang'an, then I'll come myself!"

Han Yu sighed, “It turns out that later generations are just like this, no more relaxed and happy than their predecessors.”

Seeing that Zhu Qinggu and the others studied from morning till night, they already knew.

Pu Songling raised his hand, "This is how exams play tricks on people."

……

Zhu Qinggu added, "When you go to university, there are many subjects, but we call them majors. After graduation, you can work in related fields."

"Many majors with the same origin but different types are usually included in one college. For example, my pharmaceutical major, chemical engineering major, and chemistry major are all in the chemistry college."

Zhu Qinggu also pulled out a list of majors from some schools, which can be said to have broadened the horizons of the ancients under the sky.

Mechanics, instrumentation, materials, energy and power, electrical engineering, electronic information...

There are specialists for plants, animals, and even aquatic products.

Architecture, food, medicine... it has it all.

They encompassed everything they could think of and everything they couldn't think of, a wide variety of topics, and were able to find a reason for everything.

Moreover, they can all be developed into academic disciplines. Previously, they only had a superficial understanding of the many wonders of later generations, but now people from later generations have given them another lesson.

Tell them that their strength is not just reflected in having enough to eat and wear.

Their strength was not just about the simple words Zhu Qinggu spoke of, such as victory in war, the founding of the nation, and the countless figures of the Chinese people.

And education...

A nation's strength is often built upon its talented people.

But they can't do it.

Even if the system were changed to the system of later generations, it would still not be possible.

Because they lack a basic and systematic understanding, their thinking has not undergone a radical transformation, and the tiny buds of the sky have not yet grown up.

The most critical issue is that they don't have enough people, and not enough literate people, so they can't do so much detailed science.
