The second session of the general examination was not difficult. Zhu Pingan was already familiar with the application of official literature. After the test papers were distributed, Zhu Pingan completed all the other test questions except Qingci in a day and a half.
On the afternoon of the next day after the test papers were distributed, Zhu Ping'an only had this Qingci question left.
Because he foresaw that this Qingci question would be the focus of the examination, Zhu Pingan paid enough attention to this Qingci question and left enough time.
This Qing Ci question is very simple. The title is just eight words in one sentence, "Pray for your wishes and try to make Qing Ci."
What does this title mean?
If you want to understand the meaning of this question, you have to briefly talk about this green word.
Qing Ci, also known as "Qing Ci", is a kind of talisman used by Taoist priests to report to heaven or recruit divine generals. Because it is written on ivy paper with a vermilion pen, it is called Qing Ci, also known as green pigment. Because in ancient times
There were more gods, so the mortal world had more things to tell the gods, so literati came together to write Qing Ci. Later, Qing Ci gradually evolved into a literary style, and Taoist priests gradually lost their "patent".
In other words, Qingci are memorials and congratulatory messages that people offer to the gods.
"Pray for your wishes and try to make Qingci"
The meaning of this topic is to write a poem about your prayers. Just write whatever you want to pray to the gods. It is generally an open-ended topic. In short, it is a composition topic that everyone often writes when they are in elementary school.
: "My wish"; or a question that people often encounter in English exams when they are in high school and college: "ihaveadream."
Although the topic is simple, it is difficult to write.
Because Qingci is not easy to write, it requires the use of gorgeous words to express people's respect and sincerity to the gods. It is a type of article based on poetry. Generally, parallel style is used. It is composed of four or six sentences, with neat dialogues and good diction.
Gorgeous. In other words, Qing Ci can be roughly divided into two types, one is Qing Ci with poetic inscriptions, and the other is Qing Ci with Fu style. Generally speaking, there are more Fu styles. Because Qing Ci is mostly gorgeous in diction, Fu style is more
It’s easy to be eloquent in words.
When I saw this question, 90% of the candidates were cursing, and they did not write a Qingci. But fortunately, they are good at the Eight-part essay. If you do well in the Eight-part essay, you can make it, whether it is a poem or a poem. This Qingci
Although it is difficult to write lyrics, you can still write them by racking your brains and exhausting your guts. However, for those who are new to this art, there is no guarantee of the quality of the lyrics they produce.
Most of the candidates racked their brains and painstaking efforts to choose words and sentences, and they were so worried that they pulled out so many hairs.
Compared to them, Zhu Ping'an was much more relaxed and happy.
Writing Qing Ci is not a problem, nor is writing Qing Ci well. The only thing Zhu Pingan considers is how to write this Qing Ci brilliantly.
Emperor Jiajing believed in Taoism. He practiced immortality in the palace all day long, and held fasting festivals from time to time. The supply of Qingci was in short supply. It was necessary for the leader to be good at this, and it was necessary to follow suit. Therefore, the ministers presented green seals to Qingci one after another to join in the celebration.
A great event. Qing Ci became the most popular style in the Jiajing Dynasty. Several people were promoted to prime ministers because of their good Qing Ci. Now Yan Song, Yan Shoufu is a master. Of course, his son is much better than him.
There are so many people writing Qing Ci, so it is not easy to write brilliantly.
At present, Emperor Jiajing's favorite Qingci is a Qingci fu-style couplet submitted by his bachelor Yuan Wei: "The black turtle in Luoshui first presents auspiciousness, the negative number is nine, the positive number is nine, the number is nine-nine, the number is eighty-one, the number is nine, nine, eighty-one, Through the Tao, the Tao is in harmony with Yuanshi Tianzun, I sincerely feel it; the two red and phoenixes of Qishan are auspicious, the male sings six times, the female sings six times, sixty-six times, and the sound is heard in the sky. He is born as the Emperor Jiajing, and has a long life."
The dialogue is neat, the diction is gorgeous, and the flattery is so popular that it can't be simple in the emperor's heart.
Therefore, it is not easy to write an outstanding Qingci!
After this Qing Ci is written, 10%* or 100% will be seen by Emperor Jiajing. This is not only related to this examination, but also the most directly related to the imperial examination. Of course, it is more directly related to your official career.
Those big bosses who are easy to be promoted because of their Qingci writing, such as Yan Song, etc., are good examples!
Therefore, we cannot ignore it!
Zhu Ping'an wore a mask, placed the test question on one side of the table, held it down with a stone, stretched, thought for a moment, dipped the brush in ink, and then placed a draft of Qingci on a blank paper. :
"Your majesty, Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor (Your Majesty), your majesty, opens the heavens and holds the talisman to hold the talisman to hold the true body. The treasures are boundless and the sky is blessing you. The auspicious days are in the Yuan Dynasty, and the marriage ceremony is carried out in the old chapter. Recommend the sincere urn to be the only one. Jing, Yan Shengzhen and combined together, Yang Xi Ling Kuang, apply tin Xiao Chong, the leaves of the four seasons are peaceful, the taste is balanced and peaceful. There is no need to be sincere and sincere. The words are sincere."
But after finishing writing, Zhu Pingan shook his head again. Such Qing Ci is in compliance with the regulations, but if you want to be outstanding and stand out, being simple in the heart of the emperor is far from enough!
Putting down the brush, Zhu Ping'an rubbed his forehead and started thinking.
There are still famous Qing Ci poems after this period in history. I have never studied Qing Ci before, so I am not very clear about it. Moreover, after the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing government despised this style of writing, so Qing Ci became lonely. .
Oh, yes, there is also a particularly famous Qing Ci in the Qing Dynasty. It is so famous that people ignore that it is a Qing Ci.
Qing Dynasty. Gong Zizhen's "Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai"
Jiuzhou is angry because of wind and thunder, and it is pitiful that thousands of horses are silent.
I urge God to cheer up and send talents of any kind.
Yes, this poem is a famous Qingci. Gong Zizhen prayed to the gods and called for thunderous changes to break the Qing Dynasty's restrictive thinking and the lifeless situation caused by stifling talents. It expressed the author's liberation of talents. The desire to transform society and revitalize the country.
Dissatisfied with the darkness and corruption in the officialdom, Gong Zizhen resigned from his job and passed by Zhenjiang on his way back to his hometown. He saw a sea of people on the street and it was very lively. When he inquired about it, it turned out that there was a race god there. People were carrying the Jade Emperor, the God of Wind, the God of Thunder and other gods to worship devoutly. .At this time, someone recognized Gong Zizhen. Upon hearing that the contemporary literary giant was also here, a Taoist priest immediately came forward and begged Gong Zizhen to write a memorial to the god. Gong Zizhen wrote the poem "Jiuzhou Anger relies on the wind and thunder" with a wave of his hand. poetry.
However, if this Qingci poem is put up intact, then you can wait to be beheaded. Because although this Qingci poem is famous, it also says that the country is dull, decadent, dead, and lifeless. This Enke is
Because the country was peaceful and the people were peaceful, and auspiciousness was frequent, Emperor Jiajing specially ordered Enke.
Now if you offer this Qingci poem to me, you can get the name, but don’t even think about your life. This is a slap in the face to Emperor Jiajing! If you want to use it, you have to change it.
"Kyushu Angry Imperial Wind and Thunder"
It is a joy to see the angry wind and thunder in Kyushu, and the galloping of thousands of horses.
Fuwei Tiangong is full of energy and sends talents of all kinds.
In this way, the meaning has changed. The country is full of vitality, God has ordered the wind and thunder to be smooth, and the situation is great. Thinking that God is in high spirits, I hope that talents can be selected in an eclectic way. In other words, it expresses that the country is in good weather and the situation is great.
, I hope that I can also be selected and pass the examination, so that I can contribute to the country.
Qingci and prayers fit perfectly, well, it should be good. (To be continued)
