The Qing Dynasty was very strict in cultivating princes.
The little princes of the Qing Dynasty are really very hard, of course, this bitter talk is from the academic aspect, we have a lot of parents complain that children have no rest time, and we can't compare with when we were young, we finished writing homework at that time, a few children together, went out to play.
Nowadays, children have a lot of subjects in school, and they have to do homework when they come home, and they write late. Saturdays and Sundays are all kinds of training, art, foreign languages, girls learn to sing, learn to dance, boys learn to code, sports and so on.
Of course, this must be related to the current parents looking forward to Jackie Chan and hoping that the daughter will become a phoenix, but if this is compared with the princes of the Qing Dynasty, we are still happy.
According to historical records, the young princes of the Qing Dynasty, 365 days a year, except for the New Year's time, they have no rest, nor winter and summer vacations. At most, there is less than a week of leave in a year, and there is no concept of Saturday and Sunday, so from the beginning to the end of the year, there is less than a week off.
Of course, this week's leave is also scattered in various months of the year, such as New Year's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, and then the emperor's birthday may let them rest for a day, adding up to a few days, first of all, there are few holidays, and every day has to go to school.
Then there is the class too early, and now some of our children get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, don't think too sleepy, so when did the little prince of the Qing Dynasty start class?
Let's take an example, the Ming Dynasty ministers were quite blessed, why? The emperor often does not come, and even some emperors cannot go to the dynasty for 20 years, the Qing Dynasty is not GOOD, the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty basically did not break the early dynasty, every day he had to come, the Qianlong Emperor basically insisted on this very well, so the emperor was diligent, and the ministers could only accompany him, and worked especially early every day.
According to historical records, a minister at that time complained that he got up early every day, but one day he completely changed his mind. In winter, before dawn, he went to the Forbidden City, walked to the Fast Qianqing Gate, faintly, saw a string of yellow light in front of him, took a closer look, it was some children walking in front, and the eunuch next to him inquired, asking if it was the little princes, where was this going? So early, the eunuch said, this is the prince's early reading.
Reading early, not going to class, how long is early reading? More than an hour. The minister obeyed at that time, saying that the princes who were nobles got up so early, what else did our courtiers have to complain about?
From some existing historical materials, we can dig out the content of this little prince's day's homework.
For example, I just mentioned early reading, what do they do with this early reading? In the historical data, it is said that the content learned the day before should be read 120 times, not exaggerated, and after reading it, wait for the emperor to come and check. The emperor would often come to check the prince's homework, and if he did not learn well, he would be punished, and whoever punished the prince might not be punished easily, and he would punish the prince's companion reading.
In fact, this is also a very big psychological torture, often the prince's companions are his best friends, watching friends for themselves, of course, the heart is too unwilling to go.
There is also the training of patience, like the crown prince of Kangxi, in the summer in changchun garden to escape the summer, a homework that must be done every day, at one or two o'clock in the afternoon to wear formal clothes, to practice brush writing, to cultivate or hone his will quality, you see now we have which Chinese studies institution can have this kind of course, we parents may be reluctant to report, not reluctant to spend money, reluctant to let children suffer this crime.
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, which is why the vast majority of these princes of the Qing Dynasty are full of economy and talent, including the Qianlong Emperor, in addition to their native Manchu, Chinese must be proficient, Manchu sometimes speaks some Manchu with the emperor, and some Han ministers will learn a certain Manchu, but Chinese is the most basic skill, many holy wills must be written in Chinese, and Chinese is actually ancient Chinese, is the literary language, the foundation of the literary language is also very good, in addition to this, in order to unite the foreign fans, but also to learn Mongolian well.
Of course, in addition to this, their physical education class is also very rich, such as horseback riding, archery, etc., which must be had, probably because of the skills of playing when he was a child, when the Qianlong Emperor was more than 70 years old, the Panchen Lama wanted to come from Tibet to Beijing to see.
When he listened to the Panchen Lama and told him that when he set off, the old emperor began to learn Tibetan, and the Panchen Lama arrived, of course, at that time, he wanted to go from Tibet to Beijing, and it took a long time, about a year, so the emperor learned Tibetan language for less than a year, what was the result of learning?
When he met the Panchen Lama, the emperor talked to the master about buddhism in Tibetan, which showed that the skills learned as a child were not comparable to those of ordinary people.
If we want to wear the crown, we must bear its weight, and if we want to become superior, we must suffer hardships, and if we do not learn the sufferings, we must eat the hardships of life.
