/kloc-in the spring of 0/890, Kang Youwei moved to Qu Yun Bookstore, a native of Guangzhou, and began to teach as an apprentice. 189 1 year, Qiu's library formally established the Learning Museum, formerly known as Changxing Bookstore. The following year, he moved to Jiekuang Temple. /kloc-in the winter of 0/893, he moved to Yanggao Temple behind the Wenchang Temple in Fu Xue Palace, rented it as a lecture place for ten years, and named it "Ten Thousand Mu Caotang". From 65438 to 0898, it was banned by the Qing government in the coup of 1898 and opened for nine years. ?
Although Kang Youwei once taught his brother in Tang Yin Township, Nanhai, he occasionally taught other children. But this time, it's different. With a clear belief, he consciously took lecturing as the cause of reform and saving the country: if he wants to do things in the world and open up a new world in China, he should not covet education. ?
Guangzhou is the cultural capital of Lingnan and Guangdong. At that time, there were many academies and libraries inside and outside the city. Unfortunately, most of them only taught those contents of the imperial examination. However, the field of education is already changing. Some famous academies, such as Xuehaitang, Jupo Jingshe, Lishan Caotang, Guangya Academy, etc., are basically limited to traditional culture, so they can not learn stereotyped writing, but take practical disciplines such as Confucian classics, history, law, Ci-poetry, and exegetics as the content, and add geography, calendar, and calculation. ?
The "10,000 Mu Cottage" founded by Kang Youwei draws lessons from the beneficial experiences of Xuehaitang, Jupo Jingshe and Guangya Academy, and also inherits the positive tradition of Zhu Ciqi's "Lishan Cottage" in giving lectures, such as not learning stereotyped writing, keeping a diary, establishing predecessors, being inspirational and upright, and paying attention to managing the world and helping the people. ?
On the other hand, the Qing government sent four groups of young children to study in the United States. Most of these young children are from Suifu, Guangdong Province. Government-run Westernization in provincial capitals, such as Guangzhou Wentong Museum and Guangzhou Land and Water Teachers College, have set up quite systematic courses on western learning. Western-style schools run by foreigners in Guangfu, such as South China Medical College, Zhenguang Girls' School, Peiying College, Peidao Girls' School and Gezhi College, have gradually taken shape. Obviously, these conditions will also have an impact on the "10,000-acre thatched cottage" established in the same city, forming an educational direction of actively learning western knowledge. ?
Ten thousand acres of thatched cottage is not and cannot be created by Kang Youwei. It was closely related to the teaching background of traditional old-style academies, government-run Westernization schools and private schools run by outsiders at that time: inheritance, reference, reform and innovation, and then formed the exclusive characteristics of "10,000 mu thatched cottage". ?
The superiority of "ten thousand mu thatched cottage" lies in its efforts to implement the spirit of reform and change with the times from the fundamental guiding ideology of running a school to the specific educational content and style of study. ?
From the earliest acceptance of the first official student, Chen, Kang Youwei set a school-running policy of "being kind and gregarious" for the 10,000-acre thatched cottage: all lectures should not be gregarious to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, but cultivate the habit of loving the group; Talk to all philosophers day and night about the significance of asking for help, but talk about the reasons at home and abroad to save China. It is necessary to run political schools, train talented people to reform and save the country, and build an organized political force for reform. ?
The teaching content of "Ten Thousand Mu Caotang" is centered on teaching Kang Youwei's thought of political reform. Moral education accounts for seven tenths, intellectual education accounts for three tenths, and physical education also pays special attention to it. Liang Qichao, who served as a senior in Wanmu Caotang and assisted Kang Youwei in giving lectures, recalled the specific learning courses at that time, taking Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in the Song and Ming Dynasties as the body and history as the application. Emphasis is placed on the education of political principles, the gains and losses of China's political evolution, the practical application of politics, and group research. Talk about the history of China's academic origin and the gains and losses of thousands of years' political evolution, and infer according to the proportion of countries. In terms of western learning, there are not only geography, mathematics, geography, foreign languages and philology, but also the history of various countries, the gains and losses of political evolution of various countries and the philosophy of Taixi. Music, western-style military gymnastics, lectures, tourism and other subjects are also provided. There is also a library and an instrument room for students to read and experiment. Students don't want to have an examination system, they should each set up a notebook and write by themselves every day. In addition to personal moral cultivation, making friends, acting, in-class study and extracurricular reading, it is required to record current events and care about national politics. At the beginning of each month, submit it to the teacher for approval. Its teaching purpose is to arouse integrity, carry forward spirit and seek wisdom widely. Guiding students, paying attention to spirit, paying attention to moral education, and being good at observing China's historical habits will help to eradicate the source of China society. ?
In the late Qing Dynasty, feudalism declined, and the style of study of intellectuals was bad. As Liang Qichao described, the scholar had nothing to aspire to and knew nothing, but the pursuit of wealth is admiration, and learning is also included. In such an atmosphere, Ten Thousand Mu Caotang is particularly outstanding and valuable in carrying forward its vigorous and excellent style of study.
