Although classes begin at 5 am, the prince needs to go to the study room at 4 am to review the lessons of the day before yesterday. Although it is very hot in summer, the prince is not allowed to use a fan to disperse the summer heat when studying. Every time he learns a word, he has to write 100 times and recite a text 120 times.
When Emperor Kangxi was young, he was so tired that he coughed up blood that he could recite the four books and five classics. Emperor Qianlong 14 years old could do this, so he was deeply loved by Kangxi.
In addition to studying China classics, Prince Wang 12 years old will also learn Manchu. /kloc-started to learn riding and archery at the age of 0/4. They were taught by Meng Man Anda. They have no title of master. When they see a prince, they must kneel down to meet him and call themselves slaves. When the prince grows up, he has martial arts classes, including boxing, shotguns, swords and firearms. Zhang Cheng, a western missionary, once said that in the summer of the thirty-first year of Kangxi, Kangxi took seven emperors to visit the Great Wall. For a whole month, these princes galloped, bent their bows and shot arrows.
According to unofficial history's records, when Qianlong was studying, the chief teacher was Wang Jie, a famous minister. Later, he played an important role in the process of overthrowing Xiao Shenyang. On one occasion, Gan Long was wandering in his study and saw Wang Jie punishing the prince who didn't study hard and making him kneel down. He felt very angry and said, after all, this is a prince, and he may become an emperor in the future. How can he ignore the ceremony of the monarch and the minister? Wang Jie said, "Those who teach Yao and Shun, and those who don't, go against it. It is the way to be a teacher! " It means that if you teach well, you may become a monarch; If you don't teach well, you may become a tyrant. Teachers should have the dignity of teachers. In desperation, the dragon made the prince kneel again.
Of course, this is just unofficial history's understanding. In fact, in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, emperors went to the study almost every day, and Kangxi Youqin went to the study to listen to the prince's endorsement at around 9 o'clock every day. Sometimes he will come back at four or five in the afternoon and listen to the prince's endorsement with the ministers. Princes can't get rid of this kind of slavery until they get married and separate.
"The Prince of Spring" and "Notes on Bamboo Window" record: "If you don't finish your homework or book punishment, the host will go to socialize, attendants, eunuchs, etc. Nobody dared to rush, so they went to the study room. The host only eats dinner in the study. Going to the room to study, there are people in the next room, all designated by superiors. " Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty was filled with emotion in Miscellaneous Notes on the eaves: "The family law of this dynasty is strict, that is, there has been the study of princes in all dynasties."
Although there was no prince in the late Qing dynasty, it also paid attention to the cultivation of nobles, but the form changed. 1905, the Ministry of War and the Training Department approved the establishment of an army aristocratic school, with Prince Yi as the management minister and Feng as the general manager. In April of the following year, school started, and subjects such as military affairs, astronomy, geography, history and arithmetic were offered, and the Eight Banners were educated in a new way, with nearly 100 students enrolled and more than 40 lecturers of princes appointed.
