2. Creative background
Shi Shuo was written by the author when he was a doctor of imperial academy in Zhenyuan from 17 to 18 years. In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan, the author, who dismissed Xuzhou's official position and lived in Luoyang to preach and teach, was selected twice in Beijing and was awarded the position of Dr. imperial academy in October of that year. At this time, the author is determined to use imperial academy as a platform to revive Confucianism and reform the literary world, so as to realize his ambition of serving the country. However, when I came to imperial academy to take office, I found that the imperial examination hall was dark and the bureaucracy was full of drawbacks.
As a result, many students lost confidence in the imperial examination and relaxed their studies; At that time, the upper class looked down on teachers. In the scholar-bureaucrat class, there is a concept of being unwilling and ashamed to be a teacher, which directly affects the teaching and management in imperial academy Middle School. The author is saddened by this and clarifies people's vague understanding of seeking and being a teacher by answering Li Pan's question.
3. Literature appreciation
Although the article also positively discusses the role of teachers, the importance of learning from teachers, who will be a teacher and other issues, it focuses on criticizing the bad atmosphere of being ashamed of learning from teachers that was popular among scholar-officials at that time. Judging from the writing intention and main spirit of the article, this is a highly targeted refutation paper. In the first paragraph of the article, the author first discusses the principles of teaching: the necessity and standards of teaching. Really put forward the conclusion that ancient scholars must have teachers.
Secondly, hard directing, without any transition, forms a steep literary potential. The opening straight book, "Ancient scholars must have teachers", suddenly appeared, which has been surprising; This transfer originated from Han Yu, and the consciousness of reading has a majestic trend. In addition, the combination of duality and parallelism in prose also helps to strengthen the momentum of the article.
