Everyone stayed in Master Xunzi's room for an hour. After Master Xun once again guided everyone on the recent articles and commented on everyone's answering habits, Master Xun also asked everyone to relax and prepare to face the three problems with peace of mind.
Queen of Heaven’s Academy Examination.
This time, Fan Tixue came to preside over the examination, and the prefect and other officials from various counties were present. The examination lasted two days, with classics and meanings on the first day, and policies and poems on the second day.
The number of questions in these three exams is huge, the content is complex, and the exam tasks can be said to be very heavy.
However, it is also very fair. The examination papers for the college examinations are no longer set by the academic officials of Jiangnan West Road. Instead, they are drawn up by the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court and distributed to various examination institutes through Dengwen Pavilion.
It is precisely because of the fairness and impartiality of the examination paper and its visible difficulty.
Therefore, Master Xun can only give more warnings to everyone to keep a good grasp of the exam time, and to consciously understand some of the conditions in the exam room and make complete preparations.
In general, just like the examination rooms of later generations, before taking the exam, you need to understand the basic procedures, the location of the examination room, and what preparations you should make.
After coming out of Master Xun's residence, Song Mu said goodbye to several friends. Kong Zong was going to visit his father's friends, so Song Mu was the only one left to go. Song Mu planned to buy some things, and luckily by then
Used in the examination room.
Although I brought a lot of things with me this time, most of them were dry food, and I could prepare some snacks and candies for the exam.
But just after he came out of the government school, Song Mu was blocked by a man.
It was Cui Keke, a boy from Taihe County who talked to him yesterday, and there were several people following him at this moment.
"Brother Song, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
When Cui Keke saw Song Mu, he said with a smile. Song Mu also quickly raised his hand, and Cui Keke immediately introduced Song Mu to the children next to him.
These students are not talented people from Taihe County. They seem to be talented people from the government school here and other places who came to take the exam. I don’t know how they met Cui Keke. Several people immediately stepped forward to say hello to Cui Keke.
He also stepped forward and said to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, today is a coincidence. We were talking about you just now. Why don't we find a place to sit down and let's talk about the content of the college exam and the poetry and poetry that Brother Song is good at."
Song Mu thought about his previous plan to go out and saw that it was still early, so he nodded.
Everyone found a teahouse not far away to sit down, eating snacks, looking at the scenery outside, and talking about matters related to the college examination.
"Perhaps you don't know that the current Crown Prince, Young Master, also served in the Ministry of Rites before, and has written many college and provincial examination papers, but they are all very difficult."
"Oh? I heard Xuezheng from our county school also said that the questions he asks always seem to be a bit off-topic, and it makes people confused every time."
"But it's more than that. Maybe you don't know that I have taken a poetry test before, and the topic is [Yellow Flowers Are Like Scattered Gold]. How about you guys, do you hear the autumn mood of chrysanthemums in every sentence, but in the end, guess what it is.
?”
"That should be the case. Isn't this the 'Moon of the Autumn Season, chrysanthemums have yellow flowers' in the "Book of Rites·Yue Ling"? What else could it be?"
"Brother, you are right, these are rapeseed flowers! They are spring flowers!"
"This is from Zhang Han's "Miscellaneous Poems" of the Jin Dynasty and Sikong Tu's "Looking Alone". It is a mixture of green strips like green, yellow flowers scattered like gold, green villages and dark villages, and yellow flowers blending into the wheat.
.”
"What, how does this get written right?"
Everyone exclaimed and seemed very interested in this matter.
Song Mu was eating snacks and looking at the scenery outside the window. Cui Keke and a few others were already talking. Song Mu suddenly raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The examination content of this poetry and poetry has always been the most varied. After all, the meaning of the classics comes from at least the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the policy theory comes from current affairs. But for this poetry, the topic can be anything.
If the examiner is more serious, he may even quote scriptures, but if the examiner takes an eccentric approach, all kinds of weird things will happen.
Now it sounds like the question maker this time is a maverick.
"Brother Song, how should we deal with this situation?"
At this time, Cui Keke turned to Song Mu and asked, and everyone else also looked at Song Mu.
Song Mu took a sip of tea and said softly.
"Actually, the answer has already been given, which is to be able to accumulate a comprehensive understanding of poetry over time."
"But if you guess the wrong title, the whole poem will be ruined." Someone added.
Song Mu shook his head at the moment. Such a thing actually tests a person's daily accumulation and contact with various things. Sometimes it also requires some thinking before breaking through and building up.
Which literati these days can't write poems that have smooth rhyme and rhyme? It just lacks agility and depth, is not humane and careless, and therefore lacks talent.
To write a good poem, sometimes you have to rely on more than just a moment of inspiration.
"Everyone, writing poetry is actually like sculpting. You have the shape in your mind before you even lift the knife. As for how to grasp the title, the only way is to know where it comes from, and then use it to create your own unique meaning."
Song Mu said lightly, giving a vague answer.
Everyone's faces also looked a little helpless.
Obviously they don't quite agree with this explanation.
But what Song Mu said is indeed the truth. There is no good way to deal with this situation. The only way is to rely on daily accumulation and remain unchanged in response to changes.
Cui Keke turned his eyes for a moment, then immediately changed the topic and just said to Song Mu.
"Brother Song, what do you think of this college examination?"
When Song Mu heard this, his expression remained unchanged. His eyes blinked a few times, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.
"We can't guess what the adults are thinking, and Song doesn't dare to speculate."
Seeing Song Mu dismiss the topic, Cui Keke's eyes flickered even more, and he just smiled at the moment.
A boy next to him immediately spoke.
"Instead of talking about this, let's talk about this court examination. Who will win the case? Brother Cui, I think you are also yearning for it, right?"
When this topic was mentioned, everyone's expressions suddenly became curious again. Naturally, they were looking forward to such things as becoming famous.
Cui Keke was obviously a little overwhelmed by what everyone said, but he forced himself to calm down and then spoke to Song Mu.
"I don't think I should take it seriously, but Brother Song, who can write such a good poem, must be confident about this college examination. This case may belong to Brother Song by then."
Several people looked at Song Mu again, but their expressions were different and there was some surprise in their eyes.
Obviously they all thought these were kind words from Cui Xingke.
After all, Song Mu only got 32nd place in the previous government examination. Although his ranking was still middle-class, it was enough to show how good his literary talent was.
Even if he is quite talented in poetry, it is still not enough.
The three exams, classics and meanings, and policy theory are the keys that can really help children condense their literary skills. Although the literary style they produce is not heavy, the articles can make a person's mind open and natural, which almost determines everything.
Just being strong at one thing is ultimately not enough.
Therefore, in their view, Cui Keke, who had a thorough understanding of the classics and poetry, said this as nothing more than a compliment.
Song Mu was indifferent, but one of the children thought of something at the moment and continued.
"Speaking of which, there is also Xue Kaiwen from Nafu School. I heard that he has been studying abroad in the past six months. It seems that he has also been assisted by a Jinshi. Now his articles are also very good."
"Indeed, Xue Kaiwen is only in his early twenties, but he has passed the county examination and the prefecture examination."
Several people murmured to themselves, but Song Mu saw Cui Keke's face looking a little ugly.
But when it came to this, someone once again refuted it.
"Speaking of this, maybe you have forgotten someone."
"Who?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Song Mu also looked up.
The boy took a deep breath and said seriously.
"Zhang Yiqi from Liushui Village, Wan'an County. He got second place in the exam!"
"Is that the guy who carried his mother to the exam and completed all the government exam questions in three hours?"
