Li Zhiyuan gently stroked his silver beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled faintly, and glanced at the scholars in the field with interest. This first couplet was a coincidence of his reading last night, but after thinking for a long time, he never came up with a perfect one.
In the second couplet, I thought that today is a literary exchange meeting, so I used this topic to try the level of scholars in Dingyuan County.
Everyone in the venue was full of dismay, and some people even glanced at other scholars from time to time. However, when they saw that everyone was thinking hard, they knew that everyone had no idea and simply breathed a sigh of relief.
The more stalemate the scene, the more it will arouse the interest of scholars. After all, if you are the only one who can express your second couplet, how will it be?
Even this pair can become famous in Dingyuan County, making many scholars in Dingyuan County look up to it.
Everyone tried their best, racked their brains, and thought hard about the second couplet. The "sound of wind", "sound of rain", and "sound of reading", are all nouns, representing three things, and the ending sound is the same as the word "sound".
, and these three things have a certain connection, which makes people unable to help but appear in front of their eyes, but Xianxian students are diligent in studying hard, and the last sentence "Sounds in your ears" is the entire first line
The finishing touch, combines the above wind, rain, reading, etc., to show a harmonious picture of the sound of wind, rain, and reading sounds into your ears, and at the same time, it also allows everyone to intuitively feel the students in the wind and rain.
A picture of hard study.
Except for some of the people who are well-off, most of the poor students were poor. When they heard this first couplet, they couldn't help but think of the scenes they had when they were studying hard. Their mood was touched and their faces were expressed.
"What a thrilling first couplet."
Some students already sighed in their hearts that if they were able to write such a top couplet, Mr. Li would definitely be worthy of the name of the number one Confucian scholar in Dingyuan County.
Li Zhiyuan smiled and nodded repeatedly when he saw everyone thinking hard. He thought that his first couplet was still of some level and could stump the scholars present. Li Zhiyuan also looked satisfied. Although his original intention was to see if he wanted to see if he was not.
Some people can express the second couplet, but seeing their first couplet can make everyone stumped and satisfied. At least, this can show that everyone present is still much worse than themselves, right?
Zhang Jingnian, who was sitting nearby, was also thinking hard. He studied for many years. He couldn't think of the previous association before, but why couldn't he think of the second one? Is he really not the material for studying? But he met Zhang Jingnian.
When everyone was full of distress, they instantly gave up their thoughts. If they could match this couplet, wouldn't they compare everyone?
So, this gentleman Zhang Jingnian was once again full of passion and his mind was running rapidly, wanting to come up with an appropriate second couplet.
Li Zhongkang, who was beside him, also frowned. After thinking for a long time, he had no idea. However, when he took a sneak peek at Xiao Changan, he saw that Xiao Changan was also frowning, and then he let out a sigh and continued to think.
Xiao Changan is now trying his best to think about the second couplet. After thinking for a long time, he has no idea. Then he turns his eyes to Xiao Chu. At this time, Xiao Chu pretends not to see it, eating pastries on his own.
From time to time, I have to look around the venue.
Now Xiao Chu did not directly tell Xiao Changan the answer. Anyway, his purpose was to attack Li Zhongkang. If he couldn't make a mistake, he would be too lazy to care about whoever others loved.
In Xiao Chu's words, who made you stand aside? Just let it go and let it belittle them, and they have to belittle their father and son. They can't bear it, and this is absolutely impossible!
Thinking of this, Xiao Chu couldn't help but smile sinisterly again. Brother, don't blame others, if you want to blame, you're too unlucky. Who made you offend a chosen son who has cheated on it!
The scene was in a stalemate, and everyone on the field thought hard but failed. They couldn't help but feel depressed. They thought to themselves that Li Zhiyuan was here to ruin the situation? But this literary society was held by their three private schools, so it wouldn't do him.
What are the benefits?
Chen Yuannian, who was above the main position, was just like everyone else, and his face was full of embarrassment. Even if he was the first couplet, he would have to spend some effort to express the second couplet.
You should know: the article is natural and the good sentences are obtained by chance. Such things cannot be forced. However, just when the scene was awkward, two sounds suddenly sounded at the scene at the same time.
"Have it!"
The voices of these two people were almost at the same time, but everyone on the field was quite shocked. He had no idea what he had not thought of yet. Someone had already made the second couplet? And it was two people at once?
This is too shocking!
Everyone looked at the sound and saw the two sitting on a table. They were Zhang Jingnian and Li Zhongkang.
Zhang Jingnian racked his brains and finally came up with the second couplet. He was surprised when he heard someone speak at the same time. However, when he saw that the man was Li Zhongkang, he felt relieved. This guy is a popular candidate for the scholar this time.
It is normal to have such talent and knowledge. Then Zhang Jingnian smiled at Li Zhongkang and said, "Brother Zhongkang, have you also posted the second couplet?"
Li Zhongkang was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingnian did nothing when he gave a couplet. He could take the lead here, which was considered a skill.
"Brother Jingnian, who will come first?" Li Zhongkang asked with a faint smile.
"Brother Zhongkang, I am not talented, and I am willing to throw bricks and attract jade!"
When Li Zhongkang heard Zhang Jingnian say this, he didn't argue with him, saying, "Brother Jingnian, please!"
In fact, Zhang Jingnian was just careful. If he and Li Zhongkang think of the same place or write a similar sentence, he would be very embarrassed at that time! So at this time, the right person would take the lead.
Some advantages, after all, at this time, it is better to die for fellow Taoists!
Then Zhang Jingyang took a step, gave Li Zhiyuan a student tribute, and chanted softly, "Men and women love each other, everyone has feelings!"
Everyone on the field was stunned, but then they sneered. Then they thought about it for a while and nodded. However, this second couplet of Jingnian was not close to the first couplet produced by Master Li, but after careful consideration, it was considered neat and coordinated with the tone.
.
In Zhang Jingnian's second couplet, several words are listed together, and the whole sentence has no artistic conception.
If it is modern, it can be described as: eating dumplings without dipping them in soy sauce, it is soulless!
"Absolutely absolutely absolutely!" Some of the scholars at the scene defined him as absolutely talent in their hearts.
Li Zhiyuan was also stunned when he heard Zhang Jingnian's second couplet. Later, he felt that this second couplet seemed to have no troops in terms of sentence structure and did not make any judgments. Obviously, this second couplet was not the best choice.
After a moment, Li Zhiyuan stroked his beard and turned his head to look at Li Zhongkang who had spoken out at the same time before, as if he was very interested in Li Zhongkang's second couplet.
When everyone saw Li Zhiyuan turning their eyes to Li Zhongkang and looked at Zhang Jingnian with contempt. It was obvious that Mr. Li was not very satisfied with Zhang Jingnian's second couplet.
However, they forgot that they all seemed to have not even thought of a unqualified second couplet. It is shameful to laugh at a hundred steps, let alone the person they have not taken a single step?
Zhang Jingnian felt the hot eyes coming from around him, as if what was conveying in his eyes was not envy, but ridicule. He instantly turned red and sat back in his position shyly.
After hearing Zhang Jingnian's second couplet, Li Zhongkang couldn't help but want to laugh, but he forced himself to maintain his image in such an occasion.
Then Li Zhongkang saw the look that Li Zhiyuan cast, as if he saw a hint of desire in his eyes. I think his second couplet would definitely satisfy Mr. Li.
After casually glanced at the eyes of many talents in the scene, a look of pride surged on Li Zhongkang's face, and then he secretly glanced at Xiao Changan. He saw that Xiao Changan's face was anxious and frowning, obviously he hadn't thought about it yet.
When I came out of the second couplet, my face became more proud.
Li Zhongkang took a step forward, bowed to Li Zhiyuan, and chanted softly: "Spring test for the provincial examination in the summer, try to pass the list!"
As Li Zhongkang finished speaking, everyone on the court had a thoughtful look on their faces, and then they remembered a burst of applause. Because they all understood the meaning of Li Zhongkang's second couplet, and also understood the meaning of the second couplet. Not only was they fair and had a proper balance, but they were also
Full of deep meaning.
The "year test" mentioned in Li Zhongkang's sentence is also the child test. In the Daxia Kingdom, all boys are called "children" when they start to take the first test. After the Tongsheng is selected, they will go to the supervisor for the exam after they are selected in the county.
If the supervisor passes the examination, he can be called a "scholar". In other words, this "annual examination" is the first step in the imperial examination.
The "country examination" mentioned in it is only referenced by those who have passed the scholar. Those who have passed the list can be called Juren. When a scholar has passed the Juren, he has the qualification to be an official. In layman's terms, as long as he has passed the Juren,
Even if the Daxia Kingdom is established, the juren can be topped when the court urgently needs talents. The juren can usually enjoy subsidies for the court. Even if he does not become an official, he will be considered as having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
The Spring Examination is also called "Spring Examination" or "Entertainment Examination". The reference requirements are Juren, which is the third step and the final step of the imperial examination system. Since most of the time of holding is held in the Ministry of Rites in spring, it can also be called
For the "Li Jie", scholars from the Daxia Kingdom habitually combined the two and called them "Spring Examination". In the Spring Examination, the people who were on the list were called Jinshi, which was considered the highest academic qualification in ancient times.
The first place in the Jinshi is called the top scorer, and the second place is the second place, Tanhua.
When everyone listened to Li Zhongkang's recitation, "I'll try the spring exam in the countryside, try to pass the list!", their expressions were roused. Isn't Li Zhongkang's dream expressed in the second couplet exactly the dream of every scholar? At the same time, every scholar is also
The goal of studying hard is to be ranked as a Jinshi and is on the list.
The thoughts expressed in the second couplet of Li Zhongkang coincide with the ideological connotation of hard study in the first couplet of Master Li. In other words, the first couplet is because of hard study, that is, studying hard, no matter how much wind and rain sounds, I will be in my heart.
Study hard, and remained unmoved; the second couplet is the result, that is, because of the hard work of the scholar, he will try the top of the list in the spring exam of the provincial examination in the year. Every exam conveyed in the second couplet must be
Being famous on the list is the ultimate pursuit of a scholar. In reality, who can be the first to be on the list? Li Zhongkang's words couldn't help but infect everyone. Most of them were poor students, and they knew they wanted to
It is so difficult to make a comeback, so Li Zhongkang's sentence aroused emotional resonance and couldn't help feeling it.
At the same time, Li Zhongkang's second couplet also shows his beautiful hope as a scholar. Even if I can't "try to the list", I naturally have to study poetry and books hard, and hope to achieve a perfect "try to the list".
Taking the road of official career. This sentence coincides with the thoughts expressed by Mr. Li in the first couplet, and naturally moves everyone on the field.
Li Zhiyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, thought for a moment after hearing Li Zhongkang's second couplet, then smiled. He was obviously very satisfied with the second couplet given by Li Zhongkang, whether in terms of the duality of the sentence or the ideological connotation expressed.
Li Zhongkang's second couplets are all excellent choices.
"Okay! OK! The provincial examination and spring examination in the year are the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first to be the first
"Extremely wonderful, wonderfully wonderful!"
Everyone in the venue began to look at Li Zhongkang with envious eyes, and the cheers in the venue were heard one after another.
"Genius! Genius!"
Brother Zhongkang, it seems that this year's scholar exam is stable!
Li Zhongkang glanced at the eyes of envy and respect that everyone had cast and the expressions of admiration of the three old gentlemen, and couldn't help but feel proud. Although he was very humble on his face, the pride in his heart had already risen to the sky.
Xiao Chuwang looked at Li Zhongkang's pretending to be humble. If someone didn't know, he would be deceived by this guy. However, Xiao Chu still caught a hint of pride and arrogance in Li Zhongkang's eyes.
This made Xiao Chuyi look down upon this point. Isn’t it just a pair of people? Are you as for it, man!
Then Xiao Chu chanted in his heart, "Why don't you ride the wind? You can soar up to 90,000 miles!" Of course, the meaning of this translation into modern language is: Why don't you go to heaven?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chu chuckled in his heart and then defended himself. Since he has come to ancient times, he must be more literary and artistic, so of course he should not bring dirty words to curse people!
However, when Xiao Chu saw Li Zhongkang's pretending to be humble but implicitly proud, he felt unhappy and silently said in his heart, I'm sorry, brother, you seem to be slapping in the face again this time.
A moment later, Xiao Chu whispered a few words in Xiao Chang'an's ear.
Xiao Changan looked at Xiao Chu with shock and astonishment on his face, and looked at Xiao Chu in disbelief, but with Xiao Chu's eyes, he swallowed the words to his mouth. He knew that he was not interrogating Xiao Chu now.
At that time, it seemed that it was my turn to show off. With Xiao Chu's couplet, it seemed that he could throw Li Zhongkang out three thousand miles again!
Just as everyone was still complimenting Li Zhongkang, a movement suddenly came from the side, and then the familiar voices came again. It was Xiao Chang'an. Xiao Chang'an said respectfully to Li Zhiyuan, "Student Xiao Chang'an, I am willing to try again.
The first couplet of Mr.!”
After the words came to the end, everyone heard Xiao Chang'an's name and turned their eyes to Xiao Chang'an. Although this person was not well-known, his talent and knowledge had just been seen by everyone. At this time, they heard that she wanted to try the second couplet again.
Naturally, he focused his attention on Xiao Chang'an.
However, when Li Zhongkang saw Xiao Changan standing up and hearing the words in his mouth, his expression became extremely ugly, and a bad premonition arose from his heart.
"This guy? Did he come up with something wonderful?"
