It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a person.
Education is the cornerstone of tribal development…
Compared with the tribe's educational plan, the matter of going south to build a second branch tribe can indeed be postponed.
As a person who has received compulsory education and deeply understands the significance of education, Han Cheng easily made a choice between the two.
After having a general idea in mind and making a decision, Han Cheng told Senior Brother Wu, Shitou and others about it.
As always, I told them the significance of doing this.
The reactions of Wu and the eldest senior brother were no different from before. Since the Son of God agreed and explained to them the significance of doing so, it would definitely be like this.
Although there are some things that we don't quite understand, and we have asked the Son of God, and even after the Son of God explained them, we still don't quite understand, but this does not prevent us from strongly supporting what the Son of God does.
Even Wu, Shitou, Yuan and some other people wanted to participate in the revision of the textbooks.
Han Cheng naturally agreed to this. Revision of textbooks was not something that could be accomplished by him alone.
This is partly because although the things in the textbooks seem simple, they are actually very complicated and there is a lot to consider and do.
On the other hand, as a person of later generations, Han Cheng's thinking is often different from that of people of this era.
Many things that he thought were natural and not difficult at all would be difficult for people of this era.
With the addition of Wu, Shitou and others, the textbooks can be made more suitable for people of this era and the difficulty will not be too great.
Chinese textbooks are relatively easier to compile, after all, there are already many famous works in the tribe. These famous works can be sorted according to the difficulty level, and then some chapters can be added to build a general framework. The fastest update is on the computer::/
For example, Han Dashenzi was lying on the table at this time, recreating famous works for later generations.
What he is writing now is "The Little Donkey Crossing the River".
In fact, Han Cheng originally wanted to copy it exactly as it was.
After coming to this era, he has copied many things from later generations. There is nothing wrong with being a plagiarist now. For him, there is no psychological pressure at all.
After all, such excellent qualities have existed since ancient times. For example, the elites of the various schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period copied each other. Once a very good theory came out of one school, after some time and a little embellishment, another school would use it with peace of mind.
The later confluence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism was similar.
In this regard, Master Lu once gave a very insightful summary of what scholars do. Can it be called plagiarism?
However, considering that there were no horses, cows or mills in the tribe, in order to be more in line with the actual situation in the tribe and allow the children in the tribe to better understand and accept it when they learn, Han Cheng naturally changed "The Little Pony Crossing the River" to "The Little Donkey Crossing the River".
They also transformed the old ox into a larger rhinoceros that had appeared in the tribe before.
The trip to the mill was changed to a desire to go to the other side of the stream to eat better grass.
For Han Cheng, who majored in liberal arts, such things were too easy to do.
After I finished writing it, I picked it up and looked at it to appreciate it. Except for the ugly handwriting, there was nothing wrong with it.
Of course, since it is a textbook, it cannot be just a dry text.
At the end of each lesson, you also need to do something more interesting.
For example, the first appearance of uncommon characters can be marked at the back to encourage people to read and write more.
Raise some inspiring questions to encourage students in the tribe to think. For example, at the end of the lesson "The Little Donkey Crossing the River", Han Cheng asked, "Why didn't the little donkey cross the river the first time? Why did it cross the river later? What lessons have we learned from the story of the little donkey crossing the river?"
There are also small activities such as role-playing.
In addition to "The Little Donkey Crossing the River", Han Cheng also wrote "The Crow and the Pitcher" and "The Fight between the Snipe and the Clam" with slight modifications.
It is really good to learn these short stories which carry some morals as texts.
This allows people in the tribe to learn Mandarin and Chinese characters while also learning how to behave and deal with things.
In addition to these texts that were adapted from later textbooks, Han Cheng also created some original works.
For example, the novel "The Sheep Asks for Death" is based on the true experience of the former leader of the sheep tribe, who, after being captured by the semi-agricultural tribe, would rather bang his chest against the weapons of his enemies than reveal the location of his tribe.
"We Are Not Tired" was written based on the story of two people, Liutou and Maque, who chose to run at full speed at night and could hardly walk after the journey in order to report the enemy's attack on the Tongshan residential area to the people of the main tribe as soon as possible so that they could attack the invading enemy.
These passages carry a strong educational significance of love for the tribe. While allowing the people in the tribe to remember the great deeds these people have done, they can also allow those who study these texts to understand what a **tribe is and what they should do when the tribe encounters danger.
In addition to these, Han Cheng also wrote an article titled "I am a Carpenter" based on Lame as a textbook.
It mainly describes how Lame Yichen was injured while hunting, and went from being a useful person in the tribe to a burden in the tribe, suffering a lot.
Then seize the opportunity, never let go, make achievements somewhere else, and become a useful person to the tribe again.
While making great contributions to the tribe, one's own status is improved and surpasses the original status.
Through your own efforts, you can achieve a counterattack in life.
Used to encourage people in the tribe not to give up when they encounter setbacks and difficulties.
If you fail in one aspect, you may be able to achieve success in other areas through hard work.
After writing a text titled "I am a Carpenter" based on Lame's experience, Han Cheng suddenly had the urge to write an article titled "I am a Primitive Man" based on his own experience.
The main idea is to introduce how I, a person from later generations, came to primitive society tragically and inexplicitly, and then experienced all kinds of tragic things in primitive society. Later, I did not assimilate the primitive people in the tribe into modern people, but was assimilated by the majority of primitive people in the tribe and became closer to a semi-primitive person, and even fell in love with some of the useless behaviors of primitive society.
Later, considering that such things were too tragic, not positive enough, and did not have much educational significance, but could easily have a bad influence, Han Cheng gave up the idea.
In addition to these, Han Cheng also wrote an article titled "My Tribe" based on the development history of the Qingque tribe. It mainly introduces how the tribe grew stronger step by step through hard work from an initially inconspicuous, poor and backward tribe.
The main purpose of Han Cheng writing such a text is to make the people in the tribe understand the importance of hard work.
At the same time, we also want people in the tribe to remember the history of the tribe, especially those children who were born and grew up after the tribe developed. We want them to understand the past of the tribe and let them know that the good days now are not brought by the wind, but are achieved bit by bit by the people in the tribe.
Only by remembering history and knowing the roots of our tribe can we do better in the future and develop the tribe stronger.
This is why, logically speaking, mathematics, a subject that many people in the tribe are not very good at, is the subject that Han Cheng should deal with first and compile textbooks, but Han Cheng started with the Chinese textbook first.
Mathematics can make people wiser and make their thinking more rational, but language plays a greater role because it can teach people many truths and have a subtle influence on them.
There are various texts, both long and short, including those that already existed, those adapted by Han Cheng, and those written by himself, totaling sixty-four.
With so many texts, if they were revised into a book, it would be enough for the children in the tribe to study for a period of time.
After finalizing these texts and writing things like after-school activities at the back, Han Cheng put the matter aside and called Shi Tou and Wu over to complete the follow-up tasks.
The main thing is to sort the texts from easy to difficult, and then find out the new words that have not been learned in the later texts, select them out specifically, mark them, and list them as the focus of study.
At the same time, you can also follow Han Cheng's previous model and ask inspiring questions at the end based on the content of the text.
After finishing all these tasks, all that remains is to copy the draft version of the text into a blank textbook.
The textbooks had already been made when Han Cheng was writing the texts. The paper was cut into pieces about 25 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide, and then bound.
Since there were no staplers, the tribesmen would use a leather awl to poke holes in the cloth and then thread the cloth with a leather rope.
Worried that it might not be strong enough, I glued it again.
There were no printers or printing presses in the tribe, so textbooks and other things had to be copied by hand.
Han Cheng had considered printing technology, but creating it from scratch was not something that could be accomplished overnight.
It takes a lot of time and energy, and it takes repeated experiments, modifications, and adjustments before it can be done.
Teaching in the tribe is an ongoing process, and textbooks need to be produced and put into use as quickly as possible.
Therefore, Han Cheng did not put much effort into printing technology for the time being. He wanted to use the crude method to produce a batch of textbooks for use first. After he had solved the problem, he would start to slowly train people to develop the technology in this area.
Fortunately, the population in the tribe is not that large, and it is not impossible for two or three people to temporarily use a book.
Moreover, if we were to use printing technology, the paper that the tribe can currently produce probably would not meet the requirements and could not be used for printing. The paper also needs to be improved.
These are things that need to be overcome. It is not as simple as carving a seal out of a carrot, dipping it in some ink, and poking it on paper.
It's not that simple.
If it were really that simple, people in Europe would not call it one of the four great inventions.
After roughly settling on the Chinese textbook issue, he left the remaining details to Wu, Shitou and a few others to handle and copy onto blank textbooks. Han Cheng then began to prepare for the math textbook in full swing.
Considering that the people in the tribe can learn addition and subtraction relatively quickly but have a headache when it comes to multiplication and division, Han Cheng directly wrote down the multiplication table 1x1=11x2=2... on the first page in order from high to low.
The inspiration comes from the pencil cases we used as children.
At that time, you only had to open the pencil case and you could see the multiplication table printed on it.
Han Cheng was able to remember it at that time, thanks to the pencil case.
As long as the bombing is frequent enough, there will always be a time to record it.
As long as you memorize the multiplication table, it will be easier to do simple multiplication and division, and you will have a basic foundation.
After writing the multiplication table at the beginning, Han Cheng began to write the numbers from 1 to 10.
To help the children in the tribe remember more easily, Han Cheng also used the nursery rhymes he learned when he was a child: 1 is like a pencil writing and drawing, 2 is like a duck quacking, 3 is like an ear listening to sounds, 4 is like a small flag fluttering, 5 is like a scale hook weighing things, 6 is like a spoon hanging on the wall...
At the same time, he also used his skills as a soul painter, trying his best to draw corresponding things under the numbers as closely as possible.
As for 0, Han Cheng drew an egg below it.
After writing down these numbers, Han Cheng began to work hard on editing the book.
Xiao Ming from Class 2, Grade 3, as well as Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang, all appeared afterwards.
The questions were very simple, and they started with an example question, and then gave some questions similar to the example question, so that the students in the tribe could imitate the example question to calculate these questions.
Just imitate more and you will learn it.
For example, in the first example question, he wrote that Xiao Ming had three lollipops, and the Son of God rewarded him with another lollipop. How many lollipops does Xiao Ming have now?
Then explain it below and finally list the equation 3+1=4.
The subsequent subtraction is basically modeled after the previous addition.
For example, Xiao Ming has three lollipops. He eats one. How many does he have now?
Of course, in addition to lollipops, there are also arithmetic problems such as dividing fruits and fish.
At the beginning, it is all addition and subtraction within ten, and then it will gradually develop to within one hundred.
And it is no longer a simple matter of adding a few or subtracting a few, but has developed into a matter of a few plus a few plus a few equals a few, and a few minus a few plus a few equals a few.
As the numbers that needed to be calculated became larger and the number of addition and subtraction operations increased and became more complicated, Han Cheng wrote out the addition and subtraction formulas in a timely manner.
Just like when we were learning simple addition and subtraction before, we first learned the addition formula. After we had learned a certain number of addition examples and were able to use them more proficiently, we started to write out the subtraction formula for people to learn.
Later, the numbers of addition and subtraction will be expanded to thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands.
As long as you can master the addition and subtraction formulas, these will not be a problem.
After addition and subtraction, the next step is multiplication and division. Just like addition and subtraction, we start by learning simple multiplications. First learn multiplication, then learn division.
Some of the hated kids like Xiao Ming, Xiao Hong, Xiao Fang and others reappeared, each holding a lollipop or something like that and giving people problems, deliberately making things difficult for the children in the tribe.
When it comes to division, Han Cheng figures out the remainder.
At this time, the remainder is actually the most in line with the actual situation of the tribe.
After all, many things cannot be divided into several parts.
Of course, this is just the initial stage. As you go deeper and deeper, decimals and other things will appear.
After writing about multiplication and division, Han Cheng mixed the four arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division together.
Han Cheng also applied these calculation rules, such as multiplication and division first, addition and subtraction second, and calculation inside parentheses first.
Unlike Chinese, mathematics cannot be compiled randomly. Questions can be written according to the times, but the calculation rules cannot be changed. At least Han Cheng himself does not have the ability to make changes to them.
At the same time, he also wrote down calculation rules such as (a+b)x=a+b, and used examples to explain them so that people in the tribe could understand them more easily.
Of course, this is considered relatively advanced mathematical knowledge.
In the first volume of the math book, you only learn the four arithmetic operations, and that’s the end of it.
In the second volume, Han Cheng plans to build on the first volume and introduce geometry, such as calculating the area and perimeter of triangles, squares, trapezoids, and circles.
Later we will also learn about the volume and surface area of three-dimensional figures.
Of course, Han Cheng did not start writing the second volume of the mathematics book immediately, but stopped there.
Because the knowledge in this first volume is enough for the people in their tribe to learn for a period of time.
According to his estimation, by the time he returned from Jinguan City in the south, the children in the tribe might not have been able to complete their studies.
It would be too late to write the second volume of the mathematics book until he was in Jinguan City.
It just so happens that there will be more time at that time, so it will be easier to compile it more completely and systematically.
He also carefully checked the draft of the first volume of the mathematics textbook. After confirming that it was correct, Han Cheng asked Yuan, who was helping him, to copy it into a blank textbook. While copying, he specifically told Yuan that he must be serious, as mathematics is a very serious matter. A wrong number would lead to major errors in the calculation results.
Holding the draft of the mathematics book compiled by Han Cheng, Yuan, who had already been fascinated by it, naturally nodded hurriedly.
Before Yuan started copying, Han Cheng took a pen and copied a blank textbook as a model.
At the same time, the page number is written in the lower right corner.
Because the paper in the tribe was not mature enough and the quality was not good enough, the textbooks could only be written on one side, unlike later textbooks, which could have content printed on both sides.
This is also why the textbooks are thicker.
In addition to telling Yuan not to make mistakes in copying, Han Cheng also told her that it didn't matter if the font was bigger or smaller, but the content on every page had to be the same.
You can't finish copying this page and then see that there is still a lot of empty space, so you copy some of the content of the next page onto it.
It's not just math books that are like this; Chinese books that were produced earlier also follow this principle.
Yuan is indeed an outlier and the best candidate to be a math teacher in the tribe.
Others may find math books very boring or even give them a headache, but she can read them with great interest.
While copying, I would fall into deep thought.
Sometimes, I would laugh while looking at the book, and sometimes, I would even slap the desk with excitement.
Only after hearing the sound and feeling the pain in his hand did he come to his senses. He smiled awkwardly at Han Cheng who was not far away, and continued copying the book.
But it won't be long before this situation occurs again.
Han Cheng was not surprised by this. He used to go to Internet cafes often and had seen all kinds of geniuses and amazing operations. He didn't know how much worse Yuan's condition was compared to them.
Moreover, Han Cheng was very happy to see Yuan's condition. After all, after he had almost finished these things, he would need to take his people to Jinguan City in the south. After he left, the responsibility of teaching mathematics in the tribe would fall on Yuan, the number one mathematician besides him.
This state of hers is very helpful for her to understand the textbook as quickly as possible and prepare for the next step of teaching.
Han Cheng was not the only one who liked to see Yuan enter this state, Wu also liked it very much.
Because Yuan was fascinated by these questions and calculation rules not only when he was copying books during the day, but also at night he would hold a copied book, sit under the oil lamp and read it non-stop, while also taking paper and pen to do calculations.
She didn't care about anything else.
Wu, who always felt tired, suddenly felt much more relaxed and even walked with more energy.
"Son of God, what does this thing mean?"
"This one is pronounced 'a', that one is pronounced 'b'... They mean an unknown number, which can be replaced by any number. What they express is a law of calculation.
Not only can multiplication be represented by them, but addition and subtraction can also be represented by them..."
When Yuan encountered something that he couldn't figure out while researching a topic, he would ask Han Cheng, and Han Cheng would answer Yuan as detailed as possible...
