To educate and train vassals in Michelle Ye, we should first choose famous teachers, such as Zhang Ying, Li Guangdi, Xiong Cilv, Tang Bin, Geng Jie, Xu, Dahata, Gu Badai and Fahai. They are either Han scholars or Manchu ministers. Michelle Ye's criteria for choosing a teacher for his son are very strict. He should have both good conduct and profound knowledge, both of which are indispensable. But he has different requirements for Mr. Man Han. He once taught Dahata, the Manchu master and senior minister of Crown Prince Yi Yin, that the knowledge of the Han people was 100 times stronger than that of the Manchus. I never knew, but I was afraid that the Crown Prince would be addicted to Sinology, so I wouldn't be a Han Chinese, so I would teach myself. The crown prince has a little knowledge of Chinese, and seems to know nothing. And the meaning in the instructions, Tang Bin and others are here, only hope that the Crown Prince will guide the Manchu etiquette and not be influenced by Sinology. As a senior official, Dahata "not only doesn't know Chinese, but also doesn't know much about it", so he was entrusted with the important task of educating the Crown Prince. Michelle Ye knew that "Manchu customs were different", and he was worried that the Prince would be influenced by Sinology, and there was a special Manchu master to teach his own cultural customs, which was well-intentioned. The coexistence of Manchu and Han masters embodies the tolerance of Manchu and Han culture by the royal family in Qing Dynasty, which constitutes the basic characteristics of imperial education in Qing Dynasty.
Michelle Ye attached importance to improving the calligraphy level of governors. They were asked to practice hard from an early age. Under your guidance, Crown Prince Yin Ren, the third son, the fourth son, the seventh son Yin Ren, the thirteenth son Huang and the fourteenth son Gui are all good at calligraphy. Yin Gui, the eighth son of the emperor, is clever and capable, but he dwarfs his brothers in calligraphy. Therefore, in order to make progress, Michelle Ye specially chose He Chao as his teacher. Michelle Ye also asked him to write 10 every day and send it to him for personal approval. Ginza was in a hurry to write, so she had to make friends and muddle through. Michelle Ye is good at calligraphy and asks all the princes to continue their studies. Since then, calligraphy has been regarded as a compulsory course for the descendants of the royal family.
Michelle Ye taught his son strictly and persevered. While urging them to be good at learning Chinese culture, he did not relax the teaching of "Manchu etiquette". Riding and shooting and Mandarin (Manchu) are the first things to learn. When Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty was in power, he took the Nuzhen of the Jin Dynasty as a mirror and expressed his worries about later generations abandoning riding and shooting to serve the Han people and even subjugating the country. Since then, emperors have advocated riding and shooting in Mandarin as the foundation of their country. Michelle Ye himself is very good at riding and shooting. He once said: "He has been strong since he was a child, and his muscles are good. He can hold a fifteen-force bow, shoot thirteen arrows and use his troops against the enemy. " From his three expeditions, we can see that he is not bragging. Michelle Ye once warned the princes: "The old code cannot be lost"; He also said, "In the past, the Jin, Yuan and later generations, because they lived in the Han Dynasty for a long time, gradually entered the Han customs and were as good as the Han people." I know it deeply.
Besides riding and shooting, Manchu is also a daily compulsory course for princes. While advocating the Manchu tradition, Michelle Ye also put forward very strict requirements for the Manchu master of the Prince, and those who did not practice it could not escape punishment. In April of the 25th year of Kangxi (1686), Michelle Ye shot an arrow at Yingtai. Xu, a Manchu master who followed him, has always been a poor rider and shooter. This time, he was scolded and said that he could not pull a strong bow. With a little excuse, he aroused the wrath of heaven and ordered to be beaten and seriously injured. Michelle Ye severely punished Xu who couldn't hold the strong bow. This is a mountain out of a molehill, but his intention is obvious.
In a word, the standardized system of emperor's education in Michelle Ye era embodies the inclusive characteristics of Manchu-Chinese culture, which is what he called "the parallel of civil and military", and the ultimate goal is of course to ensure the long-term stability of the dynasty. His set of practices was regarded as the standard for future generations, and he followed it without change.
