Guo Jing is a heroic image created in Jin Yong's novel, he is a typical example of "the great hero for the country and the people", and is a very popular image, the reason for which, in addition to his patriotism, is his thickness and even stupidity.
Guo Jing's qualifications were average, and even a little dull, but under the enlightenment of Zhebei, under the supervision of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan, and under the further training of ma Yu, Hong Qigong, the old naughty boy Zhou Botong, he eventually became a generation of heroes.

In this process, Hong Qigong taught him the "Eighteen Palms of the Descending Dragon", which was the key to his journey to the peak of his life, and this starting point was inseparable from the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and Ma Yu.
Jiangnan Seven Monsters, equivalent to the coastal developed areas (Jiaxing, Zhejiang) of the 6 famous teachers, with the task of volunteer teaching, to the western desert (Inner Mongolia) to the lonely single-parent family child Guo Jing "send warmth", and once went is 6 (sacrificed one), stay is more than ten years, fully devoted, but Guo Jing's qualifications are too general, ten years have not grown, just a non-flow martial arts training, which almost made the old Ke Town of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan out of internal injuries, constantly scolding Guo Jing stupid, who knows not only has no effect, He also forced Guo Jing and Hua Zheng to fall in love, which almost killed Ke Zhen, and just when he was about to give up, a key figure appeared.
He was Ma Yu, the head of the Seven Sons of the Quanzhen Sect, and after meeting Guo Jing, in the face of the discouraged Guo Jing, Ma Yu directly pointed out his views and said the key to the problem: Guo Jing said: "That's because the disciples are too stupid, and the masters will not teach with their hearts any longer." The Daoist laughed and said, "That may not be the case, this is teaching but not knowing its method, and learning is not the way." ”
Guo Jing in the same period, the same qualifications, jiangnan seven monsters used ten years to teach will not, Ma Yu used two years, Guo Jing not only opened the trick, but also the results of the rapid progress, this is the difference between the famous teacher and the Yongshi, let us specifically compare:
First, from the perspective of teaching purposes, famous teachers let students become themselves, and mediocre teachers let students become tools
Let's first look at the purpose of teaching, the reason why the seven monsters of Jiangnan came to the northwest desert to support teaching, guide Guo Jing, a "stupid" student, insist on not giving up for ten years, in addition to admiring Guo Jing's father as a person, hoping to let Guo Jing, who succeeded in learning art, avenge his father, there is also a very "selfish" purpose, that is, not to lose to the "bull nose" Qiu Zhiji, because the cultivation of Guo Jing, insisting on 10 years, is because they and Qiu Shuji have this "bet": eighteen years later, they separately taught the apprentices to conduct a contest to see who is strong, Prove that whoever's master is powerful. Therefore, in the process of teaching Guo Jing, Ke Zhen evil repeatedly emphasized "humiliating people", which shows that his purpose is not pure.
And Ma Yu taught Guo Jing because he had a fate to teach him, and did not let Guo Jing call him master, or even tell outsiders, this purpose is very simple, just to achieve Guo Jing, not to make himself famous. Of course, if there is no selfishness, it is not right, otherwise this Daoist leader will not come to the desert, and his selfish heart is worried that the seven monsters of Jiangnan will not be able to win and will not be taught, so he will secretly help and win his master and disciple Qiu to deal with the opportunity, so as to wake up the master and disciple Qiu. The book reads:
It turned out that after Ma Yu learned of the actions of the six monsters in Jiangnan, he had a good respect in his heart, and from Yin Zhiping's mouth, he found out that Guo Jing did not have a foundation for internal strength. He was in charge of the Quanzhen Sect, and he was well aware that the Taoists suppressed themselves and obeyed the supreme reason of others, and Ya bu did not want his disciple Qiu to take the opportunity to overwhelm the six monsters of Jiangnan in this matter. However, several times he advised Qiu to admit defeat, but he said that he would not agree to anything, so he came to the desert and painstakingly tried to secretly complete Guo Jing.
However, this purpose is still very different from the purpose of Ke Zhen evil, so in teaching, there is no rush to achieve results, so the effect is better.
Second, from the perspective of teaching methods, famous teachers know how to motivate students, teach according to their aptitudes, and discourage students from mediocre teachers
Unlike Ke Zhen's vicious sarcasm, sarcasm, and attack on Guo Jing, Ma Yu first saw Guo Jing, taught him to climb the cliff, and with his help, successfully climbed the summit, and encouraged him: "I just watched you climb the mountain, in fact, your foundation is very good." This sentence is too important for Guo Jing, who has been hit repeatedly, but Guo Jing still has some doubts, when he proposed that he was too stupid to teach well, 6 masters could not teach well, at this time Ma Yu threw out a key sentence "Teach but do not know its method, learn but not the way."
In fact, this is Ma Yu's cleverness, he knows that Guo Jing's qualifications are not bad, because Guo Jing has the potential to become a top student", "the people who practice gong pay the most attention to will and endurance", this guo Jing is still very good, but Guo Jing's understanding is too poor, this is also a fact, in the face of this reality, Han Xiaoying, one of the seven monsters of Jiangnan, let Guo Jing memorize the female sword method by rote, and the other 5 masters also taught Guo Jing martial arts from the move.
Only Ma Yu taught Guo Jing the Inner Gong Mind Method, he thought that the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan were already considered famous teachers, and learning the kung fu of any one of the teachers could make him famous, not to mention learning the kung fu of the six masters, so Ma Yu did not teach Guo Jing kung fu, but taught him the internal gong mind method.
What is the Inner Mind Method? Simply put, it is the method of breathing, sitting, walking, sleeping, this still needs to be taught? Guo Jing also thought so at that time, but Ma Yu threw out four sentences, so that Guo Jing firmly remembered: thinking is forgetting, body weakness is lucky, heart death is divine life, yang sheng is yin. Guo Jing read it several times, remembering it in his heart, but he didn't know what it meant. Ma Yu explained: "Before going to bed, you must have a clear mind and no thoughts. Then lie on his side, his nose breathing, his soul not wandering inwards, and his spirit not swimming outside. "At the moment, the method of breathing luck and the art of meditation and contemplation were taught.
Han Xiaoying asked Guo Jing to memorize the Yue Female Sword Technique, Guo Jing did not know what it meant, the more he memorized the more confused, others taught, just according to the script, while Ma Yu simplified the complex problem, simple and easy to understand, but the effect was very obvious.
Third, from the perspective of teaching methods, famous teachers simplify complex problems, and mediocre teachers simplify simple problems
In fact, the seven monsters of Jiangnan may not know the internal gong mind method themselves, and their internal skills are not deep, because they are all self-taught, and they do not have any prominent background, and they do not have any experience, and the kung fu of the seven monsters of Jiangnan is not out of the same door, but only a few people with common interests and pursuits, who have come together, so these kung fu are "skills", and they cannot be "Tao", because they are chaotic, so they lead to more and more confusion.
And Ma Yu is the head of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, who has received systematic education and the point of the famous teacher, so the knowledge is more systematic, and he can see the problems of Guo Jing at a glance, starting from the Tao, rather than looking for a breakthrough from the technique, although he only teaches the methods of sleeping, walking, and exhaling, the result is more effective with half the effort.
Jiangnan Seven Monsters spent more than 10 years, in these 10 years, they can not be said not to work hard, conscientious, but can not change the reality that Guo Jing is a stupid student, if it is not to take into account the gambling contract, not to take care of their chivalrous famous teachers, these 6 people will slip away, and the same student, Ma Yu, but in 2 years, laid the foundation for Guo Jing to become a hero, this is the difference between a famous teacher and a Philistine.
For a famous teacher, excellent students help him improve his business level; mediocre students help him improve his teaching methods, there are no students who can't teach well, only teachers who can't teach, from this point of view, there is still a great reason, do you think?
