The original text of Jiao Zhuan", "Records of Tiantai Academy"

The teachings of the ancient schools, monks, seekers, and attained the Tao, there are no people who do not use the times, and they lie in the township. The higher one is revered as the father and the young master, and the lower one is also the older. Riqun and his disciples supervise and teach, and when they die, they remember their merits and worship them. Emperor Xuanzong pushed and looked at it, and he knew that he was the first saint. 夔, Boyi, Zhou Gong, Confucius, And Yanzi are all his people. Modern science, Mo Sheng in song. The Heavenly Saint Ming Dao has not yet been established, and the name of the Four Academies is unique in the world. At that time, Zhou Zhilu Cave, Lu, Xu, Yan, Zhu Zhiyin Screen, each with a moral teacher in the countryside. For those who are disciples, they will be able to shake up and cultivate their skills. The disciples of the world know that they have gradually achieved it by their use, and will they accumulate their merits over the course of a day? Mr. Tiantai rises to The Huang'an of Chu, pushes the learning of Kong, Yan, Zhou, and Lu, and learns from the townspeople. From the tourists to the ever-full outdoors. He has been eunuched, and he has reached all four directions from his hometown. Decades have passed since now, and its teachings still exist. Sir, the wind, the movement and depression are far away. When his schoolmaster Xin'an, Bahu Hou taught him in the middle of his life. In the end, the seal of silk is to push mr. Yi Ling's words, to take measures of political affairs, to restrain shrewdness, to be lenient and moderate, and to be generous and calm. The people's officials intended to be able to build the gentleman's house, and to emphasize with his children the unfallen thread, and to expound it. Sigh: Mr. Guxiang did not have to have a sacrifice, my master Gu Qike, The East Side of the Temple, the Three Trees of the Church, the Statue of Mr. Feng, and the friends of comrades and the disciples of the disciples, all attached to the food. The lecture hall is three, and the wings are two rooms, waiting for the visitors to be in the room. Twenty books in the bookstore, a group of many people in the middle, chanting poems and reading, following the same as Lang Lang Ruye. But the things of the wall are restored to the second shrine of the filial piety festival. Looking around, there are festivals, there are times of practice, there are times, there are many yan xiu, and each has a ningyu. He also went out of his way to buy dozens of acres of land, and he would do things for his people. The book is completed, and Yu Zhizhi is still in place. Woohoo! After a thousand years, the Ming Dynasty was the first of the holy ways, to the scholar of the Later Generation. It is the key to seeking benevolence, the moment of self-cultivation, and the end of the end. If you refer to the people who have learned alone by making themselves wise, and practicing them with great thought, they can learn from the saints without difficulty. In fact, the Yellow Man who wanders in Si, the descendant of the GateMan KunDiye, as if he exists in the sound and appearance of his wishes, can he think of the one who is not afraid? Since his sage is detached and confident and independent, that is, the middle material is also reluctant, following his rules and widowhood, but the spirit of The Gentleman is rich and renewed over time? Hou Zhi's inheritance will be infinite. Hou ming shangqian, character, emblem of the sheren, five years of Zizi, the rule of the most appropriate relocation. And to be able to add to the official, the responsibility is not enough, and the gentleman is also the test of the soldier. is for the record.

Translation of Jiao Zhu's "Records of Tiantai Academy"

The educational purpose advocated by the schools in ancient times was to enable students to cultivate into wise and virtuous magis, with the ambition of pursuing self-motivated governance and family, so as to achieve the available materials needed by society. The schools built must be used by the times and serve the rural society in which they live. Teachers with high morals and learning, people are like the emperor to teach the royal children to read, people revere the father, the young master. In the folk, the worst title is also respected and respected like the three old five. Usually, students are gathered in the classroom every day to supervise learning, teach knowledge, and when they die, people do not forget to sacrifice and recall their merits every year. Such a highly respected teacher, even the Lile School of the Children of the Royal Nobility was highly respected and impressed, calling him the First Saint And The First Teacher. For example, the ancient musician Kui, who was appreciated by Emperor Shun, the ancient sage Boyi, the Zhou Gongdan who was dedicated to assisting the king, Confucius, who had three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages, and Confucius's most proud disciple Yan Hui, were such people.

In modern times, society has promoted theory of science, and it has become a common practice since the Song Dynasty. In our Ming Dynasty, although the Tianzi Dynasty had a holy Ming and also adhered to the study of Confucianism and Reason, the in-depth study of Science had not yet formed a social atmosphere. Under such circumstances, there are four academies here, namely Tiantai, Tianwo, Donglong, and Longtan, which are famous for their teachings of science. Today's society, unlike Zhou Dunyi, who founded Lianxi Academy in the Song Dynasty and founded the foundation of science first, Zhu Xi, the confucian collector of Bailudong Academy, Lu Jiuyuan, the heir of the Heart School who debated academics with Zhu Xi, and Xu Mengxin, the historian who compiled the "Compilation of the Northern League of the Three Dynasties", opposed Su Shi and Huang Tingjian's late Tang poetry style, advocated the style of Sheng Tang poetry, advocated "mysterious enlightenment" and "interest", and like Yan Yu, the great poet who wrote "Falling Waves of Poetry", he could open academies widely throughout society, and the wind of learning blew all over the country and the public. Nowadays, they can only hide in the countryside, and each of them uses its own moral scholarship to run schools and educate people in the remote countryside. As a student, he is full of spirits, learns to be elegant, behaves with strict rules, strives to cultivate his technical talents, and is ready to be used by the world. In this way, let the world and students know that what they have learned is used in the world, and the world understands it. Knowledge must be tested through social practice, and talents must be gradually tempered to achieve talents. It can be seen that such rural mountain academies and schools cannot be created in one day! Mr. Tiantai rose to prominence in Huang'an County, Jingchu, as a famous scholar of science, and spared no effort to study and popularize the Confucian benevolent ideas of Confucius and Yan Hui in the Spring and Autumn Period. Inheriting and carrying forward the philosophical exploration spirit of Taoism and Science of Zhou Dunyi, the teacher of Cheng Hao Cheng Yi in the Song Dynasty and the founder of Taoism, he deeply studied the "heart is reason" theory of Lu Jiuyuan, the founder of the heart school. For this reason, Mr. Li avoided the prosperity of the world, hid in the Tianwo Academy in the depths of the mountains of his hometown, and studied the knowledge of Confucianism, Theory, and Taoism together with the townspeople. For a time, where the gentleman was, from the tour of scholars, the inside and outside of the lecture hall were crowded, flocking to the scholars, which was really unprecedented.

After the gentleman's gift, he took the lecture as his own responsibility, and when the rut went, he set off from the countryside of Huang'an to rush to the four directions of the countryside. It has been decades since I wrote the article "Tiantai Academy" today, and the true essence of my theory of following the good teachings of my husband still exists today; his rigorous style of study and profound and superb theory, whether in the opening or stopping of the lecture, have always been broadcast for a long time and never stopped. When his school and academy were cultivating scholars and talents for the newly built Xin'an (Huang'an's original name) county, he also selected those ethnic minority officials left over from the Yuan Dynasty who had not received Han training education and taught them together among primary school students. In this way, even those Qipin County Orders who wore imperial robes to take charge of the official seal also greatly admired Mr. Qipin's knowledge, adopted his suggestions, and took his thoughts and remarks as the spirit of handling county affairs and administrative affairs. For example, every county order comes here, can restrain themselves, shrewd government affairs, treat the common people with leniency, be simple and serve the public, and be moderate in government. Let the people of a newly built county live in peace, the bandits disappear, and the people will rule clearly. Therefore, the officials were proud, the people benefited, and the officials and the people were grateful to him, and decided to build a lecture hall for him, continue to explain the courses that had not yet been studied for his local children, and continue to explain the profound truths of science.

I sighed here: The ancient countryside, once one day Mr. Xian rides, will certainly be admired and sacrificed by people. However, my teacher Geng Tiantai had a lot of concerns, and after repeated requests, Mr. Geng had to think about it again and again, and reluctantly agreed to rebuild the lecture school for him. After surveying, a lecture hall three wide was constructed to the east of the top of the rooftop where he had lived. Portraits of Mr. Li are enshrined at the top of the hall, and the accommodation and housing of His academic friends, like-minded people and apprentices are added next to the College. Two rooms were built on either side of the three lecture halls to receive traveling audiences and lecturers and to stay for a long time. Twenty libraries can accommodate many scholars and students, and in the spacious library, students can study in an orderly and step-by-step manner, and can hear the sound of reading. Only on the east and west sides of the gable wall of the academy was the filial piety shrine and the festival women's shrine. Looking around the academy, there are places for fasting festivals, classes for lectures, ashrams for study, and everything is arranged in an orderly manner. Kitchen, bath room, banquet hall, rest room, the house is complete, all available. After that, he used the remaining funds to purchase dozens of acres of land as a permanent property for providing the college with food, housing, travel, sacrifice and other uses and the college. After the successful construction of Tendai Academy, a letter invited me to come and see it, which made me very excited and determined to come to visit the college and record its grandeur.

It's emotional! With his unique knowledge and wisdom, he rose up after the prosperity of Confucianism for thousands of years, exalted the way of the first Saint Kong and Mencius, enlightened and alerted the foolishness of later learning, so that students could understand the essentials of seeking benevolence and love, and find a way to cultivate themselves and establish a life. This brilliant and outstanding academic theory from beginning to end, respectful and simple personality qualities, let students know their palms and fingers, there are rules to follow, there are codes to use, and not far away from the reach. Such close feeling and immersion, so that even if they are in a very remote corner and have no opportunity to listen to mr. face-to-face teachings, as long as they think carefully about and study Mr. Mister's theory, and practice it, then there is no difficulty in learning from the Prophet. Moreover, the local people of Huang'an are easy to travel and inhabit, and they can act as the disciples of Mr. Huang'an. Sir treats them like brothers, they can feel his voice and smile at close range, they can listen to his teachings in person, and they can ask him about the difficult problems in learning. In this way, can students not quickly become enlightened, but redouble their pursuit of the purpose of their life struggle? Then the virtuous must be transcendent, confident and independent of the world. Even people of moderate intelligence are encouraged and encouraged. This is why as long as you follow Mr. Li's rules of governance and the standard of human conduct, and deeply understand his theoretical knowledge, he will definitely make fewer mistakes and benefit greatly. Isn't this the enduring practical effect of mr. Man's charisma and the spiritual splendor of being a teacher? There was a person with the surname Hou who was in Huang'an as a county order, and at that time he received a good education from his husband and passed on his name, and he was a person who benefited infinitely. Hou County's name is Shangqian, a character, a native of Shexian County, Anhui. He has been ruling Huang'an County for five years, and his political achievements are remarkable, and he should be promoted, but he does not invite officials to be promoted for his merits, but he is willing to serve as an official in this small county. During his five years in office, he worked hard and had an unshirkable responsibility. This is entirely influenced by Mr. Hou's excellent scholar-doctor character, and it can be asserted that mr. Hou's personality strength has been tested in Hou Xianling. Based on this, I was deeply moved to write these into memories.
