After comparing the existing interest training classes on the market, Su Nuan, after careful consideration, decided to start with Chinese traditions.
In ancient times, wealthy families mainly started their children's education with the six arts, namely etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.
These six skills were considered important criteria for whether a person could become a gentleman in ancient times. In today's society, although these skills have gradually disappeared from people's horizons, the spiritual connotations they represent are still pursued by people.
In fact, the six arts in ancient times and the quality education of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor advocated by later generations are actually very different.
The ancient six arts focused more on the combination of a person's inner cultivation and external skills, while the quality education of later generations focused more on a person's all-round development.
However, whether it is the six arts in ancient times or the quality-oriented education in later generations, their purpose is to enable children to become better versions of themselves.
In this day and age, people often overlook the importance of traditional culture.
Su Nuan hopes that children can better understand and appreciate traditional culture through learning. She believes that only in this way can traditional culture be better inherited and developed in modern society.
So Su Nuan began her own journey of exploration. She consulted a lot of information and gained a deep understanding of the history and cultural connotations of the Six Arts.
She discovered that the Six Arts were not just six skills but rather represented six spiritual qualities. For example, etiquette represented respect and self-discipline, music represented harmony and beauty, archery represented bravery and wisdom, charioteering represented prudence and stability, calligraphy represented erudition and versatility, and mathematics represented diligence.
After determining the direction of the children's interest development, Su Nuan specially found three children to let them understand what the traditional six arts are specifically about, so that they can choose the direction of study that interests them within the six arts.
The two boys, Xiao Mantou and Tuan Tuan, are more interested in archery and chariot driving, while the youngest Yuanyuan, the only girl, is interested in music. Secondly, because Niu Niu is also learning dance, Yuanyuan also became interested in dance after watching Niu Niu dance.
After understanding the children's interests, Su Nuan made different arrangements for the three children's learning interests.
Among the Six Arts, etiquette, books, and mathematics were taught to all three children. The two boys then learned archery and charioteering, while Yuanyuan learned music and dance.
However, taking into account the current environment, changes have been made to the traditional six arts based on existing conditions.
For example, among the six arts, the traditional subject of "charioteering" is to learn driving skills, but Su Nuan changed it to horseback riding. This is because horse-drawn carriages are rare in today's environment, and learning to drive is also dangerous. However, horseback riding is different. It not only improves children's riding skills, but also allows them to interact with animals and cultivate their love for animals.
For Xiao Mantou and Tuan Tuan, learning equestrianism can not only satisfy their interest in riding, but also allow them to be exposed to new fields and broaden their horizons.
For Yuanyuan, learning music and dance allows her to bring her strengths into play, while also exposing her to more artistic elements and enriching her life experience.
After determining the children's learning interests, Su Nuan was very happy. She hoped that the children could maintain their interest and enthusiasm in different fields in the future, and also hoped that they would have more possibilities in the future.
She believes that as long as children can stick to their interests and continue to work hard to learn, they will be able to achieve excellent results in their respective fields.
In the future, she will always be with the children and provide them with support and help.
She will give encouragement and advice to the children when they need her, and will also help them solve problems when they encounter difficulties.
She believes that with her company and support, the children will be able to thrive and become who they want to be in the future.
After solving the study direction, Su Nuan encountered a new problem: the teacher who provided training.
She knows very well that teachers who teach skills are particularly important for whether children can grow up to be outstanding talents in the future.
Su Nuan hopes to find a teacher who meets her requirements. This teacher should not only be proficient in the six traditional arts, but also have sufficient patience and teaching experience so that he or she can better guide the children's growth.
However, finding such a teacher wasn't easy. Su Nuan asked around and even met with many teachers who came for interviews at home, but she couldn't find a suitable candidate. Some teachers, while understanding the basics of the traditional six arts, lacked a deep understanding and teaching ability. Truly knowledgeable teachers rarely accepted students, considering only talented students.
Su Nuan didn't want her child to leave home early to learn a skill and go to a master's house to study.
She hopes that her children can grow up in a warm family atmosphere and receive a good education. Therefore, she has been looking for a suitable teacher who can meet her expectations and allow her children to learn at home.
However, the level of teachers she recruited did not meet her requirements. Although these teachers had some teaching experience, they lacked a deep understanding of the traditional six arts and were unable to truly guide the children to understand the essence of them.
Su Nuan felt very distressed. She didn't know how to find the right teacher to help the children realize their dreams.
During this process, Su Nuan also began to reflect on whether her expectations were too high.
She realized that her requirements for teachers were not just teaching level, but more importantly, the teachers' personal charm and teaching philosophy.
She hopes that teachers can truly care about children's growth and help them establish a correct outlook on life and values, rather than just imparting skills.
In the process of looking for a teacher, she also learned to look at problems more rationally and constantly adjust her expectations to better adapt to the reality.
While Su Nuan was looking for a suitable teacher, she specially renovated and adjusted the original library.
The original library was transformed into a place for children to learn skills, with paper, ink, brushes and inkstones for practicing calligraphy, bows and arrows for the two boys to use for archery, musical instruments for Yuanyuan to learn music, and a dance room, etc.
In addition to the horse farm needed for equestrian practice, which cannot be set up at home, there are many other things that need to be purchased.
As for the issue of the horse farm, because the children needed to study, Su Nuan had someone buy a 500-acre piece of land in the suburbs of Shanghai and converted it into a horse farm. He also bought a lot of expensive horses from all over the place to raise.
At the same time, the horse farm is also equipped with exclusive breeders, veterinarians, horse farm managers, etc.
Gu Chengfeng was also shocked when he learned that Su Nuan bought a piece of land and built a horse farm specifically for the children to learn equestrianism.
He knew that his wife was rich, but he didn't expect her to be so rich. Sometimes, he envied the children for having such a good learning environment.
