Chapter 121 New-style education!
Feng Qingyang said: "Jian'er, this idea is very good. The sea embraces all rivers, and tolerance makes it great. Being secretive is not the demeanor of a king. Qi Zong is similar to our Sword Sect in terms of swordsmanship and internal strength, and there is no such thing as stealing martial arts.
As for the previous grudges, if you think about it, it was just a mistake, and there was no need for the family to become so awkward.
If what Zhen'er said comes true, maybe in a few decades, the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect will merge, which would be a great thing."
Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Whether they merge or not is just a matter for us in the Sword Sect, it is not important.
Let me talk in detail about the methods of training and assessing disciples.
First of all, there is what I call the school system. Although we will eventually rely on master-apprentice teaching as the ultimate means, in the early stages we have to teach in a unified class. This is because our manpower is limited, so we have to adopt this class system to teach.
The so-called class system is the system of teachers. For example, if we now have 200 students, if the responsibility is distributed among each of us, one person has to teach dozens of students, and there is no way to train them well.
If we use the class system, the 200 people can be divided into four classes, with 50 people in each class. Although there are still 50 people, the advantage is that the six of us can each teach a course.
For example, Junior Brother Lin will be the teacher of the Huashan Basic Sword Skills class, and Senior Brother Cong will be the teacher of the internal skills class, responsible for teaching the disciples to practice Hunyuan Gong.
This is the basic skill for disciples of the Sword Sect. Everyone must learn it. After passing the assessment, the fellow disciples will select the best talents according to their qualifications to become inner disciples for instruction. Then Senior Brother Feng will teach them the Yangwu Sword Technique, the Xiyi Sword Technique, and so on.
In addition, there are sword theory classes, internal power theory classes, martial arts history classes, mathematics classes, physics classes, medicine classes, business classes, etc., all of which will be offered for interested disciples to study. For them, it is also a way to develop their own abilities.
The advantage of this method is that when we assign specific people to be in charge of various courses, this teacher will specialize in this area of knowledge and will therefore be more proficient in it and know better how to teach, making it easier for students to understand various knowledge.
In the original master-apprentice system, the master was responsible for teaching all knowledge, but everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Some people are good at swordsmanship, but not so proficient in internal skills.
The disciples he taught would usually be better at swordsmanship but weaker in internal strength.
Some people only know how to practice martial arts, but don't know how to teach disciples. Even if he is a master in the martial arts world or has excellent martial arts skills, he may not have any outstanding disciples.
Our school system can avoid this problem. Everyone can teach what they are best at. For example, Senior Brother Cheng is particularly proficient in Xiyi Sword Technique, so you will be allowed to teach Xiyi Sword Technique.
Junior Brother Lin’s basic Huashan swordsmanship is particularly solid, so it is most appropriate for Junior Brother Lin to teach the basic swordsmanship.
The teacher was the best swordsman in the world, so he was asked to be in charge of the sword theory class. The sword sect's disciples' martial arts skills might not be very strong, but their sword theory was ahead of their peers, so their martial arts skills must not be too bad.
In this way, the disciples can learn everything in the best way and achieve greater success in the future. As teachers, we only need to be responsible for one or two courses, so we can save a lot of time and use it to do other things in the sect.
For example, when the course just started, the disciples only needed to learn basic swordsmanship and Hunyuan Gong, so Junior Brother Lin and Senior Brother Feng would be busy.
Others may go down the mountain to do good deeds, or to collect more talents and qualities. After the disciples have mastered these, they will need the next teacher to teach them. "Xin Zhen spoke out his training of disciples in one breath, and Feng Qingyang and others were dumbfounded.
Cong Buqi was amazed and said, "I can understand what you said about the school system and teacher teaching system, and I think it is a very good way.
But isn't your course a bit weird? Sword theory classes and internal power theory classes are fine, but business classes, medical classes, martial arts history classes, math classes, physics classes, etc., aren't they too weird?
As martial artists, do we have to engage in business, become doctors, and study? Do we have to take the imperial examinations?"
Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's not the case, but these courses are about a person's overall combat power. The more you know, the greater your contribution to your combat power and to the sect will be.
Mathematics and physics classes are tools for gaining insight into the nature of the world, and Dugu Nine Swords requires a foundation in mathematics. If they can understand mathematics, it will be of great help to them in learning Dugu Nine Swords.
As for the martial arts history course, it is a required course for those who want to travel in the world. If disciples want to travel in the world, they must understand what the Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance is, what the Sun Moon Sect is, and what the development context of the martial arts world is, right?
Only in this way can one understand the general situation of the underworld, not be taken advantage of by bad people, and not be shallow and ignorant and not know where one stands. "
Hearing this, Feng Qingyang sighed: "Yes, if you step into the martial arts world without knowing anything, even if you have great martial arts skills, you will just be a pawn of others."
After these words were spoken, Feng Buping and his two brothers blushed.
Xin Zhen continued, “Business courses may seem useless, but they are actually very useful.
For outer disciples, they have to go down the mountain to help the sect manage its industries. If they do not understand business, they will either be cheated by their opponents or by their subordinates, and in the end it is the sect that suffers.
For true disciples, only by understanding business can they know how to run a sect. True disciples are the future masters, elders, and governors who control a region. If they don't understand business, how can they control a sect or a hall?
Are medical courses really useless? Of course they are very useful.
It is inevitable to get injured when traveling in the world, and one has to treat the injuries by oneself. However, by studying medicine, one's own sect can make high-quality medicines for injuries, and the disciples can have an extra life.
To put it more materialistically, after studying medicine, disciples will not have to worry about having no food to eat when they travel around the world.
In addition, if you have medical skills, your fellow warriors will always give you some face. After all, you have medical skills, and they never know when they will need your help, so they will always be friends with you.
Then in the future, when the disciples of the Sword Sect go down the mountain, everyone will be friendly to you, and when you meet the common people, you will heal them. People will always spread the reputation of the Sword Sect. Over time, as the reputation grows, talented people from all over the world will come to join, and the Sword Sect will become more and more powerful."
Xin Zhen's explanation impressed Feng Qingyang and others.
Feng Buping exclaimed: "What the headmaster has taught is the Sword Sect's thousand-year plan. With this school system, our Sword Sect will surely surpass Shaolin and Wudang and become the leader in the martial arts world!"
