The real inside story in the prince's school
Speaking of princes, many people immediately thought of the rich and well-fed noble princes on TV, thinking that they had no worries about food and clothing, and they didn't have to go to school every day like we do now.As everyone knows, the princes of the Qing Dynasty also had to go to school, and it was much harder than our current school.

The place where the prince went to school was called "Shangshufang". Before Qing Daoguang, it was called "Shangshufang". During the Daoguang period, it was changed to "Shangshufang".The study is located on the east side of the Qianqing Gate, and the south verandah gate opens to the north. There are five rooms in total.When the prince is six years old, he enters the study to study.Generally, one or two or three people from the Manchu and Han universities are the chief masters of the upper study. The chief master's main responsibility is to check the homework of the princes, and they have to inspect many times every day.There are several masters of Chinese language, who mainly teach Confucian classics to the princes; there are several masters of Manchu and Mongolian (Advanced), who are responsible for teaching Manchu and Mongolian, and those who are adept at teaching riding and archery.

上书房的上课时间安排比现代学校可要紧张多了，皇子们每日寅时（凌晨3∶00～5∶00）来到书房早读，卯时（凌晨5∶00～7∶00）开课，午时（11∶00～13∶00）下学。没有寒暑假，老师和皇子都是全年无休的，只有在各大节日如元旦、端午、中秋、皇帝的生日等才会放一天的假。

During the Kangxi period, the study room was Wuyizhai in Changchun Garden. The reason why it was called Wuyizhai was to tell the princes to be Wuyi, not to be idle, not to be playful, and not to be greedy for pleasure. "Kangxi Daily Life Notes" records the prince's schooling situation in this way: from 13:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning, the princes will go to Wuyizhai to start reviewing the homework of the previous day, which takes an hour.The crown prince was only [-] years old at this time, and he was going to Wuyizhai's study at three o'clock in the morning, so of course he got up earlier than this time.

From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning, the masters of Manchu and Chinese came to the upper study room. When they arrived, they first practiced the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping for the crown prince, and then checked the princes' homework, asked the prince to recite the book, and the prince recited it aloud, one word good.Then draw the next paragraph for him, and then recite the next paragraph.

Chenshi is from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning. At this time, students have been in class for four hours. Kangxi came to Wuyizhai after the court, and the princes greeted Kangxi at the bottom of the steps outside the Zhai.After Kangxi took his seat, he asked the princes to endorse.Kangxi took out the book and clicked a paragraph at random, and the prince recited it, and he had to be good at it.

Kangxi said that when I was a child, I had to recite 120 times aloud, and then I had to recite it 120 times. I was completely proficient, and then I changed a paragraph, so I learned it paragraph by paragraph.At this time, if the minister said it 100 times, would it be enough?Kangxi said that he must recite 120 times.After the inspection, Kangxi went to deal with political affairs.

Si time is from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock. At this time, the day in the records is already a hot summer day, but when the prince is studying, he must sit upright, and he is not allowed to hold a fan, let alone shake the fan.This hour is time for calligraphy practice, and each character must be written 100 times.

At noon, that is, from eleven o'clock to one o'clock, when it was lunch time, the guards brought the food, and after the meal, they did not rest and continued with the previous homework.

Weishi, that is, from one o'clock to three o'clock, at this time, the princes went to the courtyard outside Wuyizhai to practice riding, archery and martial arts.

Shen Shi, that is, from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], Kangxi went to Wuyizhai to check the homework again, and asked the princes to recite it, and several princes lined up to recite it one by one.

Youshi, that is, from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], this class is to practice archery outside Wuyizhai. Kangxi first let the princes shoot one by one, then let the masters shoot one by one, and finally Kangxi himself archery, according to historical records " "Back and hit", school is over after the homework is over.

From three o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the evening, please note that it is not a day, but every day, which is called "uninterrupted cold and heat".It can be seen that being a prince is not as easy as imagined, and being born in an emperor's family has to go through a difficult school time.
