Li Xueyao lowered her head slightly and didn't look sideways, as if she was reviewing her memorization and didn't notice him.
When Zhao Rong passed by her seat, he did not bother her to say hello.
However, when passing by the pony-tailed girl, my ears faintly caught the scripture she was reciting.
"Although there are fine dishes, there is no food...Although there is the perfect way, there is no learning...that's why...teaching and then knowing the difficulties. Knowing the shortcomings...knowing the shortcomings, then you can reflect on yourself. Knowing...knowing the difficulties, then you can strengthen yourself."
…”
Zhao Rong immediately recognized that it was a certain passage in the "Book of Rites", which he was familiar with. However, it sounded like Brother Xueyou's backing was choppy. He didn't know if he was a little nervous or distracted, and part of the original text was still unclear.
I recited it twice...
Zhao Rong didn't think much and returned to his seat.
After he passed by, Li Xueyou, who seemed to be concentrating on memorizing in his seat, quietly relaxed his tight little shoulders.
The rhythm of endorsement has become normal.
However, after reciting a paragraph absently in her mouth, she stopped memorizing it silently and put the "Book of Rites" away.
At this time, the sound of the clock announcing that the exam was about to start was heard again. The girl with a ponytail straightened her back, folded her hands on the table, and stared straight ahead, as if she was waiting for the exam.
But her aimless eyes still revealed a bit of absent-mindedness. I don't know where the girl's thoughts were wandering at this time, whether she was on the exam or not...
Zhao Rong didn't realize this. He was sitting next to Li Xueyou and could only see her upright and slender back, and Li Xueyou never looked back at him.
Zhao Rong secretly said to himself that Brother Xueyou is indeed very well-behaved and serious.
Thinking of what Fan Yushu said just now, he smiled and shook his head. Let's not talk about whether it was right to take a look. She was such a good girl, so he couldn't disturb her exam.
Now that the exam was about to take place, Zhao Rong wasn't too nervous. He even took a look inside his heart with Xian Xing.
The heart lake still looks as active as it did after the evil dragon stirred up the lake water.
The bottom of the lake and the surface of the lake were both turbid, and until early in the morning, evil dragons and dragon carp were in it, and they were clearly distinguishable.
The strange state of Xinhu's brain power being activated still continues.
Zhao Rong felt extremely peaceful. After watching for a while, he had some thoughts in his mind.
From early morning to now, he has not reset Longli and stopped this state. He just wanted to test the duration of this inner lake potential stimulation state. He thought that he would turn it off once he was tired or exhausted, but he did not expect that it would last until
Now, it has been at least three or four hours, and he does not feel tired at all, and he still feels that he still has the energy to continue.
"It seems...more efficient and longer-lasting than I thought."
Zhao Rong was slightly surprised.
His consciousness told him that too much was too much. Being too active in the Xinhu brain for a long time was definitely not a good thing. He had to take a break to replenish some energy. He thought that he should release the state and have a look, but at this time, he was about to take the classics and meaning exam, so he should keep it as it is.
Let’s talk after the exam.
With some calculations in his heart, Zhao Rong remained calm.
At this moment, on the lakeside promenade not far away, a fat old gentleman whom he did not recognize appeared. With his hands behind his back and a stack of papers, he walked into the Renzihao examination room.
Feel free to look around the entire venue.
The fat old gentleman waved his hand, and the stack of examination papers in his hand was thrown into the air. As if being lifted by the wind, it spread spontaneously, and the twenty-eight examination papers flew one after another on the tables of the candidates.
The fat old gentleman didn't talk nonsense and his voice was loud and strong.
"The exam begins."
…
Zhao Rong got the test paper and didn't look at anyone else. He just dipped his ink and wrote in his name and the school he belonged to.
Then he lowered his eyes and quickly reviewed the papers.
To put it simply, this Jingyi test paper is divided into two parts.
Tie the scriptures and try out strategies.
Zhao Rong was familiar with the Tie Jing questions. They were included in the imperial examinations of many dynasties under Wangquezhou Mountain. They were considered to be a must-have question for Confucian students.
It mainly examines the content of Confucian classics.
It is to select specific sentences from the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism and other works, cover the two ends, open a line in the middle, and then cut the paper to make a post...
It means to cover several words in the selected sentence and let the candidates fill in the words based on the above or below.
Sound familiar?
Zhao Rong thought of the ancient poetry fill-in-the-blank that was common in Chinese language exams in his previous life... It was actually similar to this, except that one was testing famous poems and the other was testing Confucian scriptures.
"I didn't expect that after being reborn, I still couldn't get rid of you. Fill in the blanks with ancient poems..." Zhao Rong muttered a sentence silently.
However, the scripture questions currently being tested require a richer knowledge reserve and a clear understanding of the meaning.
Because the scope of Confucian classics and meanings is too large, if the topic is more remote, it would be to find a needle in a haystack in the "ocean of classics and meanings".
And this test question is also the highlight of the imperial examination for Confucian students at Yamashita, even the most important one among them.
Similarly, it can also be simply understood as...a Chinese composition question from a previous life.
It is to select a sentence from the scriptures, or it was said by a famous saint, or a saint who did not want to be named but happened to pass by a famous saint and chatted for a while said, well, you can
Don't really believe that they are woodcutter, farmers, savages, crazy people, these are the vulgar names given in the book. In fact, these people are very powerful, otherwise they wouldn't have said a lot of famous quotes that will defeat the younger generations... Anyway
Zhao Rong regarded them as saints.
Therefore, the form of the test question is very simple. It is to intercept a certain sentence from the Confucian classics and use it as a test question, then specify the number of words and let the students "play freely" around it.
In this test question, there is actually another division, namely the self-cultivation category and the governance category. The meaning is as the name suggests.
After understanding the two types of questions in this classic and meaning assessment, we also need to understand one of the small rules.
That is, if you want to get points for the test questions in the second part, you must first pass the theological questions in the first part.
There are generally ten questions in the scriptures, but you have to answer the corresponding number of questions correctly to be considered a pass. Different places have different judgment standards. For example, in the imperial examinations of many dynasties in the mountains, it is passed five out of ten and six out of ten, which is considered a pass.
The reason for this kind of regulation is to prevent Confucian scholars from taking advantage of opportunities, using methods such as answering questions or memorizing test templates, memorizing them by rote, and getting mixed scores on the most important test questions.
Therefore, the questions on scriptures in the first part are all stepping stones in the classics and meanings examination. They test the basic literacy of Confucian students and select candidates who are truly familiar with the classics and meanings.
Otherwise, no matter how strong your other abilities are, you will only fail.
Zhao Rong finished examining the paper and looked away.
He picked up a clean brush and turned it around between his fingers.
He was not surprised that Mochi Academy took these two exams, but Zhao Rong found that the difficulty and requirements of the questions asked by the academy were much more demanding than the most stringent imperial examination at the foot of the mountain, but...
"I'm just so-so."
Zhao Rong smiled sheepishly and began to answer.
He directly opened the first page of the paper, and there were ten questions on the scriptures.
His eyes quickly scanned the question requirements.
"You need to get eight out of ten to pass, and you can only get two wrong at most?"
He nodded, bent his upper body over the desk, and began to write furiously.
After a while, while the students around him were still meditating on the vast original text of the scriptures, Zhao Rong had already stopped writing.
"Sorry, unfortunately I remember everything."
He finished the ten scripture questions in one go.
Even obscure scriptures that he had only glanced at in the past could quickly emerge in his mind, as if they were in front of his eyes.
"Understand your shortcomings, and then you can reflect on yourself. Know your difficulties, and then you can improve yourself... What a coincidence."
Zhao Rong looked at one of the ten scripture questions he had written and smiled. Brother Xue You just happened to memorize this paragraph silently.
Is this considered possessed by a koi carp? Even if you review before the exam, you can get the questions right.
As for the possibility that the test questions were leaked, Zhao Rong didn't even think about it. How could Brother Xue You, a good student and a good girl, be possible? If it was about that boy Fan Yushu, then it would be more credible...
Zhao Rong said in his heart that it was interesting and continued to answer the questions.
There is only one final trial question left.
He raised his hand and turned to the second side.
What catches the eye is a line of extremely concise yet powerful scrawled handwriting:
Everyone has a surplus, but I am the only one left behind.
