The private school of Edo period

In the private school of Edo period, it seems to have made only about seven-year-old children feel the word of analects of Confucius and so on. It seems to make the children read it aloud and not to make the children understand it.


Recently I have begun to want to read so-called the‘Profound scholar's books’. I have read readable books before, and then I learned that many managers adored the profound scholars.


When I read analects of Confucius in my twenties, I remember that it was only tough and I didn’t have something obtained from it.


Recently I came to think “After all, it is a good book". If I had read aloud analects of Confucius at about seven years old, I would have begun to want to understand it since younger time.


However, it is already the past, and I want to read and enjoy various books in the future.
