The questions in the provincial examination are obviously much more difficult than those in the exam. Not to mention the poetry test, which is to test the poet's ordinary poetry and prose skills. It does not matter whether it is difficult or not, just write according to the meaning of the question. As for the writing style and rhetoric
Wait, it's not something that can be done in a day, and there is no need to rush. Everyone can fill up the test paper with five, five and six words. As for the judgment of superiority, it can only be scratched by the examiner.
The item of "Testing the Meanings of Classical Texts" truly embodies what it means to be at the tip of a bull's horn, and what it means to not open or lift a certain pot.
Since the Xia and Shang dynasties, there has been a vast ocean of opinions collected by various schools of thought in the classics and history. After just over ten years of hard study, it is obvious that I can only read a drop in the bucket. Most students will choose to read common classics. In fact, most of the examination questions are also
From these classics; but just like the puzzling additional questions that often appear in later examinations, the provincial examination's examination of Tie Jing and Mo Yi appeared in several questions with unfamiliar excerpts, which made the next day
The examination room was filled with painful sighs.
Su Jin is also one of the top two. For example, he asked: Hunan stone carvings are from the "Yu Monument", and Han Tui's poem is famous in the world. In addition, there are still people in the Tang Dynasty who wrote about it. Can you cite his article?
Is there anyone who has prefaced it in the written records? How many people have recently interpreted his text? Some Confucians have interpreted it, and the world considers it to be comprehensive, and its results can be trusted?
There is also: "The Stele of Jiang Jun of the Han Dynasty" either says Jiang Wan or says "Jiang Song", which one is it? There is an inscription by Cai Yong on Jiuyi Mountain, who wrote it? In the text of "Gulang Stele", "Feizi" is written as "
"Feizi" and "Liuyang" as "Liuyang", can it be proved that it was collected from other books? "Tanglushan Temple Stele" is known as one of the three masterpieces in the world, but the world ridicules it, why?
This kind of test question is simply a disaster for candidates who stay at home. Except for Hunan Juzi or those who have seen the "Yu Monument", they have no idea what it is about. The various "Han Dynasty" below are
"Chiang Jun Monument", "Gulang Monument", "Tanglushan Temple Monument", etc. If I had not been to the place, how would I know who wrote the inscriptions and what they were written about?
Su Jin didn't answer any of them, and just wrote a limerick under these questions: It rained in Bashan last night, and snowflakes fell in the north tomorrow morning. The ancient books in Gudeng are not enough, how can I know the cold and heat and winter and summer?
This means that in order to take the exam, the students who study hard in the cold window can't even read the book. They have forgotten the cold and summer, let alone the trivial matters of inscriptions and inscriptions all over the world.
On the third day, the topic of the trial strategy theory was distributed. Su Jin was greatly hit by the theory of Tie Jing Mo Yi, so all his hopes were pinned on the trial strategy theory. Originally, the trial strategy theory was the focus of the three scientific examinations.
Taking up the largest proportion, Su Jin originally hoped to write a policy paper based on his true skills to see how good he was, but after experiencing the failure of Tie Jing Mo Yi, he became a little uneasy.
According to the rules I have summarized, one of the questions on policy theory relies on punishment, so the provincial examination will definitely not have questions on punishment. After removing the types of the previous two subjects in the provincial examination, the questions on this policy theory should be about foreign affairs and official administration.
During the class, after pulling out the question from the envelope, Su Jin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The title is indeed about officialdom, but the difference from the past is that this time it lists various examples of corruption among officials from various places, and only describes the process of the incident. It does not clearly give the title, and requires the candidates to draw up their own ideas based on the above content.
Policy essay topic, write a policy essay.
Su Jin's great joy was followed by great worries. This time, even guessing the genre was of little help. He had to draw up a topic based on these things and write it out. Although some of the prepared things were useful, in order to focus on a theme, it was necessary to
The selection has to be reduced, which requires a lot of effort.
The first thing Su Jin thought of was the theory of redundant officials. The redundant officials were actually the culprit. There were seven or eight candidates for an official position. Some people were unemployed for seven or eight years after high school before they got the chance to take office. They were like hungry wolves who had been hungry for a long time.
, there is no reason not to make a big profit quickly.
But Su Jin immediately rejected this argument. The disadvantages of redundant officials had been proposed as early as the Tiansheng period. His theory of redundancy and waste also had a lot of market among the people. The imperial court also acquiesced to his views, but it was powerless.
Regulation; once this topic comes out, most of the more than 2,000 candidates will probably think of writing about redundant officials. Writing it yourself is like chewing sugarcane bagasse again. Unless you can chew the taste of chicken drumsticks, it will definitely be difficult to enter.
Examiner's discernment.
On the morning of the third day, Su Jin did not write anything, but kept pacing and thinking in the low and stuffy dormitory. At noon, he ate two small pieces of shortbread and drank a cup of new tea. Su Jin directly set up the bed.
He lay down and fell asleep.
The third exam was winding up at Youshi in the afternoon. Su Jin actually slept until the end of the afternoon. He could hear a lot of noises in the dormitories. Su Jin knew that this was because everyone had finished writing their strategies and was packing up for the exam.
Lan was ready to leave after an hour.
Su Jin washed his face, burned a piece of rose scented tablets, put two balls of cotton wool into his ears and eyes to block out the noise outside, sat down and wrote the topic "On the Balance between Officials and Officials"
"I am known as an official who listens to officials, and is a coward. I avoid human sentiments, but it is inevitable. Why? The country is based on the law and takes examples as its key. Although its officials are noble and its people are virtuous, it is illegal.
There is no decision, there is no rule, no action... Knowing one but not knowing the other is not as good as the officials, so they have to go back...
.In addition, there are exceptions to the law and there are rules; they are also promulgated without hesitation, and they are unclear and often changed, which is troublesome and untrustworthy... Therefore, officials do not know the laws, but officials know the laws, so officials have to rely on officials..."
"Again, from the imperial court to the prefectures and counties, each office has one department. There are only a few officials, and there are many subordinate officials. Although there are strong and diligent officials, they may not be able to see them all and take a detailed look at them. What's more, I have to record them.
But it must be done.”
"Thus, officials rely heavily on officials, and when matters are unclear, the officials are not responsible, and the officials are innocent, which leads to many abuses; officials become more and more busy, but the officials have real power, and because of the lack of education and education of subordinate officials, they become rampant and unscrupulous
, breeds rot..."
"..."
"..."
Su Jin eloquently wrote more than a thousand words in one swipe, and his thoughts were extremely clear in his mind. He integrated the known viewpoints into arguments one by one, and found a new way to change the normal thinking of blindly accusing officials of malfeasance and corruption.
Various government decrees and provisions began to appear, pointing out the dilemma that most officials found themselves in.
In order to solve the problem of redundant officials, the imperial court greatly shortened the term of officials and carried out frequent promotions. As a result, most officials did not act or were unable to act in local areas. However, minor officials who were not considered officials could pass their positions from father to son.
Sun, in the eyes of the local people, the promises of subordinate officials are more credible than those of the chief officials; hence the strange phenomenon that the words of subordinate officials are often more effective than those of the chief officials.
Moreover, there are a large number of petty officials, and they are responsible for their own affairs. Therefore, they understand the imperial decrees better than the chief officials who have to coordinate and make decisions, so that the chief officials' decisions often rely on the judgment of the petty officials, which leads to
The rights of petty officials within the scope of their duties are the actual decision-making power.
Most of the petty officials are from the private sector, have not passed the imperial examination, and have mixed moral standards. In addition, their salaries are extremely low, so they will use the actual decision-making power in their hands to seek personal gain.
His greedy behavior; once he got into the water, everyone took advantage of each other and became unscrupulous.
Su Jin also proposed solutions, such as consecutive punishments, such as legal slips, and even proposed to let petty officials become officials, abolish their hereditary system, and expand official positions from the seventh to the tenth rank.
It can accommodate a large number of redundant officials and improve the overall quality of low-level officials. It is also recommended to increase the term of officials to maintain a long-term dynamic balance, etc...
Su Jin didn't know whether this view would be accepted by the examiners, but he believed that picking people's brains was not the way to win in this ancient exam. It was that you had to find a unique way and have your own views to catch people's attention.
This is actually a kind of gambling.
When Su Jin carefully dried the test paper, pasted his name on it, straightened up and breathed a long sigh of relief, there was a loud sound of gongs outside, and the proctor outside the examination booth shouted loudly: "Open the dormitory, collect the test paper, stop answering questions, it is against the rules."
Those who do so will be disqualified.”
