    Tick ??tock, tick tock, time continues to move.  The King of Darkness suddenly mentioned, looking at him sitting on the chair waiting, wondering what he was waiting for?

    The King of Darkness realized that the King of Music was still in the dreamland of music, standing with his hands behind his back, with a pair of leering eyes looking at the deep starry sky, the beauty and mystery of the starry sky.

    Breaking through the illusory music world of the Music King, the Dark King carried a piece of time music, rushed through the Milky Way, and directly left the Three Realms.

    The music of time was shattered, and time and space erupted into countless different flowing sounds of time.  Time is also a kind of music, the Dark King thought:

    "The big realm after death music is eternal time music. They are all musical attributes of the same level and cannot be deciphered for a while. Only by looking at the author who is dazed and waiting can he understand that the ticking, ticking, ticking time of the world has always been there.  Keep walking, gone, everything is gone, everything before is dead, just like it was dead yesterday.

    Following the direction of sensing the existence of the Seal Demon, the Dark King roared away.

    At the entrance of the Demon Man, countless light waves circled outward layer by layer. Augustus (the original meaning of Augustus is "the Chinese translation of Latin augutus, plural augusti" is sacred, noble, and religious.  And theological meaning. Its feminine form is Augusta.

    The Greek synonym is ¦²e¦Âa¦Òt?? (sebastos), or the Latin transliteration augoustos.  Augustus is most commonly used to refer to Octavian, the first citizen of the Roman Empire; but Augustus can also be used as a title for the Roman emperor.

    After the fall of the Roman Empire, many nobles in Europe often used Augustus as a male name, especially in the Holy Roman Empire.  )

    Augustine (auzeliusaugustine, 354-430), a Christian theologian, philosopher, and the main representative of the Latin Church Fathers.  Born in the North African city of Tagaste (now Souk Akhras, Algeria) to an ordinary citizen family.

    His mother was a devout Christian, and Augustine was influenced by her mother since childhood.  He went to school in Tagaste City when he was young.  At the age of 12, he went to grammar school in Udula City and graduated at the age of 16.

    Due to family financial difficulties.  Dropped out of school for a year.  At the age of 17, he went to the Oratory School in Carthage.  At the age of 19, he developed a strong interest in philosophy and began to explore the origin of good and evil, thus converting to Manichaeism.

    After graduating from the eloquence school, he first taught eloquence in the city of Tagaste, and then taught eloquence in Carthage for a total of 8 years.  Because he was dissatisfied with the academic style of Carthage.  He crossed the sea to Rome and became a professor of eloquence in Milan.

    In Milan, Augustine was deeply influenced by the Bishop of Milan, Ambrose, and officially broke away from Manichaeism and began to approach Christianity.  After a fierce ideological struggle, in the autumn of 386, he converted to Christianity.  and resigned from his professorship.

    Promoted to priest in 391.  In 395, he was appointed bishop of Hippo in North Africa.  From then on, he began to engage in fierce debates with various sects within Christianity. To this end, he wrote a large number of philosophical and theological works and became a central figure in Christian academic circles at that time.

    In 430, the Vandals invaded North Africa and surrounded the city of Hippo on August 28 of that year.  Augustine died of illness.

    Augustine is the person with the most written works among the Latin church fathers of ancient Christianity, with about 90 kinds of writings, in addition to a large number of letters and sermons.  His main works include: "On the City of God", "On the Three Body Theory", "Confessions", etc.

    Augustine was not only a Christian theologian and philosopher, but also an educational thinker.  His educational theories had a very broad and profound impact on Western European medieval education, especially church education, and were an important theoretical basis for the medieval Christian church to formulate educational policies.

    "Confessions" was originally called "confessiones", and the classical Latin text means "confession, confession", but in church literature.  Turning to acknowledging the greatness of God has the meaning of singing praises.

    Aurobindo originally focused on the latter meaning, which is to describe the blessings received from God in his life and to sing praises to God; but generally he focused on the first meaning. Therefore, in ancient China, this book was called "Confessions", and in Europe it was called "Confessions".  "Confessions" has become another name for autobiography.

    Volumes 2 and 3 describe his youth and life while studying in Carthage.

    ? ?In the book, Mr. Li not only reveals his sincere emotions, but also makes a very profound analysis of his own actions and thoughts. His writing style is delicate, vivid and unique. It has become a representative work in late Latin literature and is listed as a famous work of ancient Western literature.  one.

    Augustine¡¯s educational thoughts had a profound impact on Western European education in the Middle Ages.

    This impact is twofold.  On the negative side, obscurantism, asceticism, corporal punishment, mechanical training, and hostile attitudes toward ancient Greek and Roman academics that were prevalent in medieval schools were all influenced by Augustine's thoughts to a certain extent.

    The medieval church¡¯s monopoly on school education, and the fact that education became a tool of the church and a means of Christian faith, are all related to Augustine¡¯s thoughts.

    In this sense, Augustine¡¯s influence on the evolution of education in later generations was negative, even reactionary.

    On the other hand, Augustine¡¯s influence on later generations also has certain positive factors.  His insight that secular knowledge could be used by the Christian faith had a certain influence on the early medieval church's efforts to preserve classical works and the arrangement of educational activities in monastic schools.

    His opinions on a series of basic issues of Christian education provided a theoretical basis for the entire medieval church education and the formulation of church education policies.

    Not only that, although Augustine¡¯s education has elements of mysticism and is objective idealism, it contains some reasonable insights.

    His discussion of language teaching methods and his emphasis on the role of teaching content in achieving educational purposes are all reasonable.
