As I write, time flies by, and time slips away quietly at the tip of my pen. October 20th arrives unknowingly.＋◆＋◆,
Early that morning, Yingtianbei City designated a large area, and all businesses were suspended. A large row of covered tents rose from the ground, covering the top, bottom, left, and right, which were strong and strong, and could protect against wind and rain.
.It is surrounded by wooden walls, except the far side which is empty so that the examiner can check the candidates.
Zhu Ping'an wore a Confucian scarf, a blue robe, an inkstone and a writing and inkstone, and a wide bamboo water cup. According to the announcement issued by the academic officer a few days ago, he was at the front of the queue in Anqing Mansion. According to the Yamen Office
It is said that the senior students are always at the front of the queue.
Fatty just went to their Fengyang Mansion team to queue up and wait for admission. Even though he had successfully delivered the gift, he was still a little nervous and apprehensive.
Before the students came in, some government servants carried several baskets of cakes and side dishes into the booth. These were the meals for Zhu Pingan and his colleagues during the scientific examination. They were quite frugal.
Zhao Wenhua, the academic officer, and several other officials were wearing official uniforms and sitting on a high platform in the northernmost part of the tent. There were bright lights in front of them, and there were tea and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Zhu Ping'an couldn't see clearly this famous place in history from a distance.
What did the traitor look like? I gave up after just one glance. It was too far away to see clearly.
There were more than 20 sergeants armed with swords scattered on the tent mats outside, standing with swords in their hands. More than ten government officials stood at the door to check the students who entered. Except for pens, inks, inkstones and water bottles, the rest were not allowed to be brought.
According to the regulations, Zhu Pingan and all the students untied their robes to reveal their inner clothes. They were holding pens, inks, paper, inkstones, water bottles in one hand, and socks in the other hand. They were waiting for the two yamen officers to search. Zhu Pingan was in front, waiting for the five gentlemen in front to search.
After that, it was my turn. To be honest, I was a little bit panicked after being touched randomly by two big men.
After successfully passing, Zhu Pingan put on his socks and shoes and entered the tent. There was an instructor inside to check Zhu Pingan's identity. After the verification was completed, a government officer led Zhu Pingan to his seat.
The seats are very simple, with a table and a chair and nothing else. All candidates' seats face south, with their backs to the examiners, and the distance between the two tables is about four feet.
There is a corridor in front of the seat. There are two large drowning buckets on both sides of the corridor. Fortunately, it is far away from Zhu Pingan.
After almost all the students came in, the papers were handed out. The yamen officials handed out the test papers to the students one by one. The test paper was sewn with the seal of the academic officer and the serial number. The test paper in Zhu Pingan's hand had the serial number Linshan Qi.
No., this serial number was written by the academic officer at will, and there is a blank space under the serial number for writing the name.
According to the announcement made a few days ago, Zhu Pingan wrote his name and personal information below: Zhu Pingan, a student in Huaining County, is thirteen years old and has not passed the imperial examination.
You need to write your name in the scientific examination. This is an important difference from the Tongsheng Examination, the Provincial Examination, etc. If there is a name, it will inevitably be a little cryptic. However, this kind of thing is generally not dared, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not vegetarians.
Yes. Even if there is, it will definitely be limited to the smallest range, and it will cost money to appoint academic officers. If all the places are allocated in this way, it will cause anger among the students, provoke the factory guards, or go to the censor or the emperor.
I couldn’t eat and walked around.
After the yamen drum sounded three times, a yamen servant walked back and forth holding a sign with the title written on it. In addition, several clerks read the title out loud to ensure that even those with poor eyesight and hearing could understand the title.
There were only two questions, an eight-legged question and a strategy question. Zhu Pingan immediately copied the two questions neatly on the straw.
I have to say that although Zhao Wenhua has a very poor character, he is still very well-educated. The chronicles he wrote have even been included in the Sikuquanshu. As far as these two questions are concerned, they are still of a very high standard.
The title of the eight-part essay is as follows: The Master said to Yan Yuan: "If you use it, you will do it; if you leave it, you will hide it. But you and I have this husband."
This is a question on the Four Books. The title is not a difficult question. It is a very satisfactory question. However, it is also difficult to write this eight-legged essay well. This question comes from the original text of the Four Books, which is about Confucius and his disciple Yan Hui.
Discuss the two life choices that ancient scholars used to make sacrifices, conduct, and hide. However, it is not easy to write it well.
This sentence is basically Confucius complimenting Yan Hui when he was bragging. The specific meaning is this.
Confucius said to Yan Yuan: If anyone can appoint me, I will promote the principles of governing the country and bringing peace to the world; when you cannot appoint me, I will hide these principles of governing the country and bringing peace to the world. Only you and I can do this.
ah.
In the eight-part essay, the title is the definition of the content of the article. The full text can only be based on the title, and the scope cannot be expanded or narrowed arbitrarily, just like digging a well, it must be equally thick from the wellhead to the bottom. This topic can only discuss "use"
Confucius Yan Hui and Confucius Duiyan said these questions.
Therefore, it is not easy to stand out among thousands of people and write this stereotype well.
Comparing the eight-part essays he had seen in his previous life with his own understanding, Zhu Pingan raised the corner of his mouth and wrote the first sentence with confidence:
"What a sage should do is to hide it, only to show it to those who can."
This first sentence is called breaking the question in the eight-part essay. This is the most important part of the eight-part essay. Whether the article is well written and whether it is given a high score depends on this sentence. The requirements for breaking the question cannot be repeated with the title, but
Also summarize the meaning of the question
Zhu Ping'an was very satisfied with his solution to the problem. With this sentence alone, he was almost able to get something out of his bag for the test.
"Sage" refers to Confucius, and "neng" refers to Yan Hui. "The appropriateness of walking and hiding" refers to the appropriate "walking and hiding". The word "micro-show" not only reflects Kong Yan's teacher-student relationship, but also highlights Yan Hui's understanding.
The drum does not need to be struck with a heavy hammer. Zhu Ping'an was very satisfied with this solution.
After writing the inscription, Zhu Ping'an dipped the brush in the inkstone, then continued writing the inscription, and began to speak, tying up his buttocks.
"The behavior of a saint is not easy to regulate. It can only be discussed with him since his appearance."
"Therefore, it is said that life-long experience can only be obtained by listening to others' opinions. Those who seek to be able to go beyond the limit are often rare. If there is something that can be confident, it may be obtained alone and nothing.
To be together, to be alone without anyone to talk to. This means that the poems that were entrusted to you are suitable for you, and I am lucky to have the words to talk to you now."
"There is such a husband, but I am also a husband with you, and when this time comes back, I feel happy and understand it silently."
The eight-part essay written by Zhu Pingan can almost be described as a spring of literary thoughts, and the writing is like running water. The writing is completed in one go without adding any points.
When I finished writing this eight-part essay, there were still candidates nearby who had not yet started writing.
At this time, he was a little thirsty, but Zhu Ping'an still couldn't bear to drink water. Some time ago, I heard some students said about drinking water during the scientific examination. You must not drink water during the scientific examination, although there are some in the scientific examination room.
Tea is provided to the yamen, but you must not drink it. No matter how thirsty you are, you cannot drink water. If you drink water, it will be recorded by the examiner on the high platform. Even if it is not treated as cheating, your test paper will be lowered by a grade. No matter you
How well written.
Therefore, even though he was thirsty at this time, Zhu Pingan just licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and endured it. It was not too late to drink water during the break and meal time. But he could not ruin his path to the imperial examination in a hurry.
