It is reported that when Puyi went to the Civil Affairs Bureau where his household registration was located, the staff learned from Puyi that he had never been to college, and junior high school was written in the education column of the household registration book. So how high is Puyi's cultural level?
The Qing dynasty can be said to be the dynasty with the strictest education for the emperor. Emperors get up at four or five every day to study. Yongzheng studied calculus, and Qianlong left more than 100 well-known ancient poems for later generations, which shows the cultural level of the Qing emperor.
Puyi, the last emperor of China, experienced great changes in the old times and the new era. When Manchu was alive, he had high hopes for the revival of Manchu. Even his teacher, Manchu Chen Jinshi Chen Bao, once said, "Children like Puyi will surely make the Qing Dynasty prosper again!"
As we all know, Puyi acceded to the throne at the age of three, and his main task was to study. Puyi's teachers are numerous. There must be at least 8 teachers in the compulsory courses of Chinese, Manchu and English. Puyi's English teacher is Johnston, an Englishman who graduated from Oxford University. He is a "China hand".
Johnston mainly teaches Puyi English and western mathematics, history, geography and other subjects. In addition to these fixed themes, his influence on Puyi is mainly the western thought and lifestyle. Puyi was inspired by Johnston to cut off her pigtails and establish a real world outlook.
Puyi's teacher is definitely a top teacher, but Puyi didn't study hard. Pu Jie, Puyi's younger brother, accompanied Puyi to study together. According to Pu Jie's memory, Puyi didn't study hard at all, but was playful.
At that time, cameras, bicycles and other western gadgets had just entered China, and the playful Puyi spent most of his time on these "strange tricks". He also ordered eunuchs to cut down the thresholds of many doors for the convenience of riding bicycles. I wonder if people who have been to the Forbidden City have a deep understanding of this?
But then again, the emperor is the emperor after all. At that time when most people could not read, he could receive a top education. Even if he doesn't study hard, he won't be too bad under the one-on-one teaching of these famous teachers.
Experts have studied the cultural level of Puyi. They said, "Puyi's real cultural level makes them almost as good as others." Now our education is more inclined to train students to develop in a certain professional direction. The so-called "there is specialization in the industry." Puyi is different. In the current words, it is "all-encompassing".
Therefore, the author thinks that Puyi's cultural level is not only junior high school, but doctoral students should be fine, but this is just another story.
