The provincial examination is divided into three sessions, each session lasts three days. According to the 24th day of this year's provincial examination, the first session is to enter on the 24th. After the examination on the 26th, leave the examination room for a day of rest, and then enter on the 27th. Take the second test in the examination room, and so on.
According to the old process of Da Chen, the provincial examination is usually in August. To be precise, it starts on the eighth day of August and ends on August 16. However, it was August when Shizong went south before Jiazi. At that time, Da Chen in the Chen Kingdom , the people, including Chen Guo’s clan, suffered countless casualties, and Chen Guo is still considered a great shame and humiliation to this day.
It is for this reason that after Da Chen crossed to the south, he postponed the autumn period from August to September. The specific time was calculated by Qin Tianjian, so this year's rural examination was postponed to September 24.
After waiting at the entrance of the examination room for more than an hour, Cao Qian, the chief examiner of this year's rural examination, Cao Qian, the top scholar in the former department, finally came forward. Behind him stood a group of outside officials and began to lecture the students who were taking the Jiankang rural examination.
After speaking, and going through a series of complicated procedures, with the order from Chief Examiner Cao, the candidates for the Jiankang Rural Examination began to line up to enter the examination room.
Shen Yi took the examination card to prove his identity, and after a somewhat self-esteem-breaking "body search" process, he finally received his examination number. After he got the examination number, he walked around the examination room several times before finally finding it. Your own exam room.
Shen Yi's previous exams were all for children. Although there were three or even four or five exams, each exam only lasted one day.
But starting from the provincial examination, things are different.
Theoretically speaking, after passing the provincial examination, you will be qualified to supplement the official position. The examination time for each rural examination is also the same as that of the national examination, from one day for the children's examination to three days.
Since the exam lasts for three days, it is natural that there must be a place to rest.
After Shen Yi entered the examination room, he first looked around at the environment.
The conditions in the examination room, or numbered room, were very simple and not very spacious.
There are only two wooden boards at the top and bottom. The upper board can be used as a table and the lower board as a chair. When sleeping, just put the two boards together to make a bed board.
However, even if the two boards are combined into one, the length is definitely not enough, so you can only curl up your legs when sleeping, which is very awkward.
In addition, there is a basin of charcoal and a candle in the examination room, which can be used to keep warm when sleeping at night. The candle can also be used to heat food.
The most conspicuous thing is a somewhat blackened wooden barrel with a lid.
This is a toilet for convenience.
Because during the three days of the exam, candidates are not allowed to go out from here. They have to eat, drink, poop, and sleep here.
Shen Yi had just walked into the examination room, and before he had finished "visiting" the extremely simple environment, he heard the sound of a lock. He quickly turned around and saw that a cadre had already locked the entrance to the examination room.
Until September 26th, he would never think of walking out of here.
But it is acceptable to grit one's teeth. After all, those glamorous scholar-bureaucrats and even the prime ministers and ministers in the court all experienced this hardship when they were young. Before leaping over the dragon's gate, they always need to sharpen their will.
Shen Yi sighed, put his test basket aside, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the dust on the two boards.
It's not that he has a mysophobia, but because no one has used them in three years, these two boards are really dirty.
After wiping it clean, Shen Yi sat on the board below, then lay down on the board above and closed his eyes to meditate.
This is the experience he accumulated from participating in many scientific examinations.
Anyway, you have three full days to answer the questions, so there is no need to rush for a while. If you can be energetic at this time, you must be energetic.
After lying on the table and falling asleep, the yamen finally handed out the test questions. After Shen Yi took the test questions, he only read them once and felt confident. He put the test questions into his own test basket. Then he put the two boards together, lay on the bed board, curled up, and had a good sleep.
She was really sleep deprived yesterday, so Shen Yi needed to recuperate before answering the questions.
And looking at the questions in the first session, they are all about the Four Books and Five Classics. It is not a problem for Shen Yi. As long as he pays more attention, there will be no mistakes.
In this way, Shen Yi basically didn't answer the questions on the first day. After he had regained his energy, he didn't start answering the questions formally until the next morning.
The first test of the provincial examination was all about the Four Books and Five Classics. Although it was not all about scriptures, at most it only added some meanings. This kind of questions was not a problem for Shen Yi. He spent the next day , he had already finished writing the topic.
No matter which stage of the scientific examination you are in, the first test is usually an introductory test, so it is not particularly difficult.
In this way, although Shen Yi suffered for three days in the first exam, he still managed to pass it.
The second exam consisted of questions from the Five Classics and an essay.
The title is "A gentleman keeps poverty in mind and helps the world at the same time."
Seeing this title, Shen Yi's heart was beating fast...
This is a somewhat overlapping question. The first half of the sentence comes from the Analects of Confucius, while the second half comes from Meng Fuzi.
What’s very important is...Mr. Gu has passed these two questions before!
Although they have not been published together, Mr. Gu has indeed published these two questions separately!
Shen Yi took several deep breaths to calm down. He sat on the board, carefully laid out the manuscript paper, and then began to grind the ink.
Shen Yi studied the ink and murmured to himself in his heart.
"No wonder Uncle Zhao once said that Old Man Gu was very accurate in answering questions. After I finish the provincial examination, I have to go back and burn the two essays I wrote!"
Although the interception and matching questions need to be understood in combination and cannot be explained sentence by sentence, Shen Yi has written these two questions before, and Old Man Gu has corrected them for him, so it will be relatively simple to solve the questions again.
If it were a question that Shen Yi had never written before, given his current level, he might be able to win, but he might not be able to win.
But the level of essays taught by Mr. Gu is definitely above the level of Juren!
Shen Yi's writing was flying. It only took an hour to write down an article on the manuscript paper. There were still nearly two days left. Shen Yi didn't need to do anything else. He only needed to check for errors and omissions. Just polish it up!
Therefore, Shen Yi successfully passed the second provincial examination.
After taking the exam for six consecutive days, at the end of September, Shen Yi finally came to the last round of the provincial exam.
This scene is particularly crucial!
Because the content of the first two tests of the provincial examination may depend on the mood of the examiner, but this third test will not test anything else, it may only be about policy theory!
Finally, more than an hour after Shen Yi entered the examination room, he got the test questions for the third session of the provincial examination.
Write an article and make five strategies.
It is considered a regular question in the provincial examination.
It seems that Cao Zhuangyuan has no qualifications after all. Even if he became the examiner, he would probably follow the inherent rules and not dare to mess around on his own.
In the examination room, Shen took this examination question and took a deep breath.
He knew in his heart that if his family did not want to rebel, half of his future for the rest of his life would be tied to this thin piece of paper!
I have to write about the exam process, so I have skipped it as much as possible!
