The Chinese characters in Huaxia have a long history, and the earliest Chinese characters discovered by archeology are more than 7,700 years ago. This situation is unique in the whole world. No culture can compare with the inheritance of Chinese civilization, especially the inheritance of Chinese civilization has never been broken. Among them, the contribution of Chinese characters is indelible.

Among Chinese characters, there is a character that not only appeared very early, but also the meaning that this Chinese character represents plays an irreplaceable important role in the five thousand years of civilization inheritance in China.

This Chinese character is teacher.

The first explanation of the word teacher in the Chinese dictionary is a person who educates people.

The name teacher existed in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, and in the oracle bone inscriptions, there is the title literary master. Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty used the word teacher, and Sima Qian used the word teacher, both of them focused on the exemplary role of the teacher.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, the word master also appeared, but at that time the word specifically referred to the emperor's teacher. The so-called as a master, a noble minister, in that era, the usage of master was somewhat exclusive.

But in the Tang Dynasty, the word Shifu gradually evolved into Master, with little difference in meaning between the two. But the word Master is more emotionally charged. The so-called a teacher for a day, a father for life is enough to prove the meaning of the word master.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the meaning of the word Master became more and more important. At that time, when the master accepted his disciples, the disciples would often live in the master's house. The master paid money and food to train the disciples meticulously, treating the disciples as family members. As for the disciples, they treat the master like their own father. When the master returns to the West, the disciples should wear sackcloth and filial piety like the master's own son.

Although master and disciple are two relative words, the relationship between them is as close as the relationship between father and son.

In modern times, with the further emancipation of the mind, many industries do not value master and disciples. On the surface, this is a kind of ideological progress, but in fact it has lost an extremely important inheritance in Chinese civilization

But fortunately, even in modern times, there are still many industries that still maintain this ancient tradition. The teacher worked hard to find his own disciples, and then devoted his life to teaching and cultivating disciples, so that the disciples can inherit the unique skills of the master. , so as to ensure the continuation of this lineage.

And this kind of disciple is usually called personal disciple in the circle to distinguish it from other ordinary disciples.

There is a huge difference between direct disciples and ordinary disciples, just like Confucius had three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages. In fact, those seventy-two sages are Confucius’ direct disciples. As for the three thousand disciples , is an ordinary disciple.

In the antique business, in fact, this ancient inheritance has always been adhered to, especially the more top-level masters, the more they pay attention to this inheritance.

That's why during the Spring Festival, Cai Yi and the other four got into a fight for Yang Jing's direct disciple, regardless of the presence of Mr. Yang.

For these top masters, a good personal disciple is as important as a biological son. Of course, these top masters are not short of money or goods, and their life can be described as having nothing to worry about. But what they lack are disciples who can pass on their abilities and ensure that their abilities will not be cut off.

For these masters, if their own abilities are cut off due to no one inheriting them, it will simply make them unwilling to die!

Therefore, once these master-level characters meet a good disciple, they will steal their faces even if they don't say anything! This is a matter that is related to their lifetime inheritance. For these accomplished masters, nothing is more important than this kind of matter.

China has a population of 1.3 billion. It is not so easy to find a suitable direct disciple in the vast crowd. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as you can meet but you can't ask for it.

Mr. Liu is seventy-two years old this year. He is a top expert in bronze ware and ancient bronze ware in the Palace Museum, and he is also one of the top masters in the national circle. He has been looking for a suitable personal disciple since he was fifty years old, and after more than twenty years of searching, there is still no trace of his disciple.

Mr. Xiao is seventy-one years old this year. He is a top master of calligraphy and painting in the Palace Museum, and his first-hand cursive script is among the best in the national calligraphy field. He also started looking for a personal disciple who could inherit his mantle since he was in his fifties, but before the Spring Festival of 2018, there were still no disciples.

Mr. Guo is sixty-nine years old this year and is a top expert in cultural relics protection of the Palace Museum. Those who can do cultural preservation work in the Palace Museum are the top masters. His situation is similar to that of Mr. Liu and Mr. Xiao, and he has no personal disciples so far.

As for Cai Yi, although he looked less than sixty years old, it was because he was well maintained. In fact, he was also sixty-three years old.

As the top porcelain master in the Palace Museum, it goes without saying that he has attainments in porcelain. Just the position of director of the Ancient Porcelain Research Institute is enough to prove his achievements in porcelain. Cai Yi, like the other three elders, had been looking for a suitable direct disciple for twenty years. Before meeting Yang Jing, he once thought that he might never find a direct disciple in his life.

As a result, the born Yang Jing suddenly appeared in the eyes of Cai Yi, Liu Lao and Guo Lao, the three top masters.

At the beginning, the three top masters didn't want to accept Yang Jing as their personal disciple, but as they got in touch with Yang Jing more and more, Yang Jing's intuition and luck, which can be called evildoers, made the three masters seem to be looking at Yang Jing. To the peerless treasure. And after a period of understanding, the three of them were very satisfied with Yang Jing's character, so the three of them came up with the idea of ​​accepting Yang Jing as their personal disciple.

The three of them are very aware of the importance of direct disciples, so the requirements for the selection of direct disciples are very strict, otherwise the three of them would not have been looking for more than twenty years and have not found a suitable direct disciple.

But once a suitable candidate appears, they will be like hungry wolves who see fresh flesh and blood, without any scruples about their own image, and rush to snatch it.

As a result, their reckless robbing of disciples ended up taking advantage of the later Mr. Xiao.

If it weren't for Mr. Yang's pressure, it is estimated that there will be a real-life PK between these four top masters to determine the ownership of this disciple Yang Jing

Which top master doesn't like a disciple like Yang Jing who is favored by the patriarch, and can even be said to be no different from the son of the patriarch? In particular, this young man not only has a strong talent, but the most important thing is that he has a good heart. This is what these four masters value most.

Since they decided to accept Yang Jing as their personal disciple, several masters have conducted extremely detailed investigations on Yang Jing, especially because they have the biggest cheating tool, Mr. Yang, so the four of them have all experienced Yang Jing since he was a child. I know almost.

The child came from an ordinary family without any background. Although the girlfriend's family background is very unusual, but that is Yang Jing's girlfriend, not Yang Jing.

What pleased the four masters the most was that Yang Jing suddenly became rich, but he did not lose himself. This child still maintained a very simple heart.

If there is anything that makes the four old men a little dissatisfied, it is that this child has immigrated abroad suddenly. This made the four old men a little puzzled.

But at that lunch a week ago, after Yang Jing clearly explained to the four old men why he wanted to immigrate abroad, the pimples in the hearts of the four masters disappeared.

After all, this kid Yang Jing still has his own business. The four masters understand some business matters, especially taxation matters, so the four of them can understand why Yang Jing immigrated to Cyprus.

When Yang Jing explained to them, of course he couldn't say that he immigrated abroad to prove the half-established loophole of the holy ring. He could only use business matters to explain his reasons for emigrating abroad.

Fortunately, the old men are well aware that in the current prosperous age, even if you want to collect, you cannot do without sufficient financial support. Without a huge amount of financial support, collecting something is always a dream in the mirror. So for Yang Jing's practice of making money through business and then feeding it back into the collection industry, several old men still agree very much.

In this way, under the suggestion of Mr. Yang, under the condition that the four masters are eager to accept apprentices, and under the premise that Yang Jing is willing to worship the four masters as masters at the same time, a sensational day finally ushered in the Chinese antique collection industry .

On April 28, 2018, the thirteenth day of the third month of the 1898 lunar calendar, the four top masters who are well-known in the field of Chinese antique collectors jointly accepted apprenticeship ceremony in a luxurious villa at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the western suburbs of Yanjing.

This luxurious villa was provided by Mr. Liu's son. To be precise, this villa was given to Mr. Liu by Mr. Liu's eldest son who was in the real estate business a few years ago - this villa area belongs to Mr. Liu Developed by the eldest son.

It's just that it's far away from where Mr. Liu works, and it's too inconvenient to get in and out of Yanjing City these days, so Mr. Liu has never lived in this villa, but has always lived in the small courtyard house on Gulou Street. .

It is a grand event in the industry for top masters like Mr. Liu and the others to accept their own disciples, especially for the four top masters to accept their own disciples together, which is even more remarkable.

Therefore, on the day when the apprenticeship ceremony is held, many guests will come to watch the ceremony. Whether it is the small courtyard house where Mr. Liu and Mr. Xiao live now, or the building where Mr. Guo and Mr. Cai live, they cannot undertake such a large-scale apprenticeship ceremony, so Mr. Liu used the villa given by his son.

And in the early morning of this day, all kinds of vehicles began to gather towards this villa from the outside, and old gentlemen with white hair and childlike faces appeared in this villa.
