When we were students, many teachers would notify students in advance and tell them some things to pay attention to about open classes in order to prevent the atmosphere from being dull.

For example, on the day of the open class, school leaders will usually sit in the back row, so students in the back row should not make any small movements during that class. Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend that you are studying hard!

Or, whenever I ask a question in class, no matter whether you know the answer or not, you all raise your hands. If you know the answer, raise your left hand, and if you don’t know the answer, raise your right hand, and so on and so forth.

Zhou Yu once was very disdainful and sneered at this.

When Zhou Yu was in elementary school, Qiao Lu, who was Zhou Yu's homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher for five years, never did anything that he considered to be fraudulent.

For example, in Zhou Yu's memory, whenever there was an open class, even in his class, other teachers would give instructions in advance before the open class and ask them to do something like raise their hands when asked questions.

But Mr. Qiao Luqiao, Zhou Yu's future father-in-law, never does these things.

Zhou Yu felt that Qiao Lu was always casual and confident during his public classes, as if everything in Qiao Lu's class was according to Qiao Lu's plan.

But the fact was just as Zhou Yu had thought. Every time in Qiao Lu's open class, even if Qiao Lu did not greet them in advance, the students' performance was still great and the effect of the entire open class was also very good.

It was also because of Qiao Lu's enlightenment that Zhou Yu, in junior high and high school, completely disdained those teachers who cheated in their public classes.

You even cheated in the last open class, what's the point of being a teacher? !

If I become a teacher in the future, I will definitely not do this. Doing so is irresponsible to the students, the school, and the teacher himself! This is what the young Zhou Yu thought.

However, when Zhou Yu grew older, he could understand the behavior of these teachers.

As for work, sometimes you have to do those things out of necessity.

It was not until Zhou Yu went to a normal university and became a teacher himself that he completely understood what those teachers did.

However, understanding does not mean agreement. Although Zhou Yu will not stop those teachers from doing this, he deeply feels that he should not do so.

Therefore, Zhou Yu only notified the students of Grade 3 (27) that an open class would be arranged tomorrow and that leaders from the county education committee and other schools would be attending the class. After asking everyone to review carefully, he ignored the class affairs and prepared for the lesson seriously.

...

The next day.

Perhaps it was because the school had notified each class of the news that the leaders of the county education committee would come to Ruxu No. 2 Middle School for inspection today, so the campus of Ruxu No. 2 Middle School had changed from its usual vibrant atmosphere to a somewhat quiet and solemn one.

In the main teaching building, Grade 3 (27) classroom.

Zhou Yu, who usually arrived late after the bell rang, was already waiting in the classroom this time. All the students in Class 3 (27) looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

'Ding ding ding ding'

The bell rang for class, and unlike usual, the corridor outside the usually noisy classroom was now extremely quiet. Only the sound of footsteps could be heard, getting closer and louder.

Not long after, all the teachers and students of Senior 3 (27) class saw a large group of middle-aged men and women who looked quite capable, accompanied by Principal Lao Wang, calmly walk into the Senior 3 (27) classroom. Under Zhou Yu's watchful eyes, they came to the reserved seats and sat down.

"Students, in today's class, we are going to talk about how to understand the thoughts and feelings of ancient Chinese poetry in the appreciation of ancient poetry."

After Principal Wang and the leaders sat down in the back row of the classroom, the classroom became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Yu opened the courseware and projection and said his first sentence of today's class.

"We know that it is very important to understand the thoughts and feelings of ancient Chinese literature and poetry. Only when you fully understand the thoughts and feelings contained in a poem or an ancient Chinese literature, can we solve this difficult problem purposefully and specifically in the process of answering questions."

After his opening remarks, Zhou Yu went straight into the topic of today's class. The more he spoke, the more confident he became. His emotions became more and more intense as he continued speaking. His every move was full of power, making him look very energetic.

"Then let's move on to the third point and establish the connection between the scenery and the ideological content!"

Zhou Yu on the podium continued to speak enthusiastically according to the content on the courseware, "We all know that Mr. Wang Guowei once mentioned this sentence in his "Abridged Draft of Humanistic Ci Talks", which is that all landscape descriptions are emotional descriptions!"

"So how do you explain this sentence? The original meaning of this sentence is to emphasize the importance of emotion and scenery in traditional Chinese poetics!"

"We now generally believe that the description of scenery in poetry is actually to express emotions rather than simply describing the scenery. In literary forms such as Song Ci, expressing emotions through scenery is a common writing technique."

"For example, let's look at Ouyang Xiu's "A Playful Reply to Yuan Zhen". This poem was written in 1036 AD, the third year of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty's Jingyou reign, when the 29-year-old Ouyang Xiu was demoted to the county magistrate of Yiling, Xiazhou (now Yichang City, Hubei Province). Yuan Zhen was Ouyang Xiu's friend Ding Baochen..."

'Ding ding ding ding'

During Zhou Yu's immersive lecture, a hurried bell suddenly rang from outside the window, reminding everyone in the classroom that the originally long 45-minute class time had passed so quickly this time.

"Then this class is officially over! The last page of the courseware is the homework I have reserved for you. Go back and think carefully about how to solve the problem around this topic."

Zhou Yu was not the type to stay late for class to begin with, and this time with the leaders present, he would certainly not do that and simply announced the official end of this open class.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone started to applaud, and within a few seconds, the entire Senior 3 (27) classroom was filled with loud and enthusiastic applause. Zhou Yu was unable to adapt for a moment, and he kept smiling and nodding to thank everyone.

These leaders did not leave the classroom out of respect, so Zhou Yu, the main teacher, could not just leave, so he pretended to pack up the course materials on the podium.

It looks like... they are quite satisfied with my class, right? Zhou Yu thought anxiously as he looked at the leaders who were lingering in the room.

But Zhou Yu soon got the answer.

Accompanied by Principal Lao Wang and others, the teachers from other schools and school leaders all left the classroom of Senior Grade 3 (27) in an orderly manner. However, Li Jianping, who was the last one to leave, gave Zhou Yu a satisfied look, trying to tell Zhou Yu that he had done a good job this time.
