The time for the county examination is very generous, with a total of five days. This also gives students enough time to take the imperial examination, which in disguise increases the psychological and physical pressure of the candidates.
Everyone passed through the dragon gate, and after being searched by the gatekeeper, each received their own room number plate and stood in the large courtyard to wait for their turn.
After the number of people gradually increased and no more imperial examination personnel came in, the exit gate and the entry gate were immediately closed.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as fraud in the imperial examination, forced entry into the examination hall, collision with the imperial examination, etc., the examiner and invigilator can order someone to open the door and allow outsiders to come in. In other cases, the door is not allowed to be opened at will.
Unrelated persons enter the examination hall.
After the examination room closed, it began to count the rosters, and ordered the junior students who participated in the recommendation to come over to identify the authenticity of the candidates, determine the true identity of the students in this imperial examination, and determine whether there are imposters. After getting confirmation from the junior students, you can enter the formal examination.
Participate in the imperial examination.
After all the verification procedures before the imperial examination were completed, the academic officials read aloud the precautions related to this imperial examination, and then ordered the yamen to lead these students in order of numbers and carry the four treasures of the study, namely pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
, stepped through the small door next to them, each entered the assigned room and sat down, waiting for the distribution of test papers and the gong for the start of the imperial examination.
After Jia Yun came to her room, she put the things in her hands and spread the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk prepared for the imperial examination, then sat on the bench and closed her eyes to relax.
Others also came to their own positions one by one. The patrolling officials looked at the conditions of each room to make sure there were no omissions. After there were no omissions, the yamen officer went to report to the examiner that everything was normal, and he could start to carry out the imperial examination.
Already.
Upon hearing this, the examiner immediately issued an order to start the examination.
The government officials paraded around the venue holding examination signs with red letters on a black background, which meant that the examination had officially begun.
Because there are four county examinations in this dynasty, one test a day, five tests in five days, they will test eight-legged essays, poems, classics, rhymes, and policy essays.
As for the candidates' eating, drinking, toileting and sleeping, in order to prevent cheating, entrainment, concatenation and many other problems, everything must be done in the examination room in the entire courtyard. In five days, there is plenty of time. After getting the imperial examination papers, Jia Yun also
I wasn't in a hurry and thought about my answer slowly.
In the first test, there are two essays on four texts and one poem in five characters and six rhymes. When writing, you should pay attention to the format and word count, which cannot exceed 700 words.
"Two articles on the Four Books. It turns out that two articles were selected from The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Great Learning, and The Doctrine of the Mean, and they were randomly checked to fill in the blanks and fill in the gaps?"
After browsing the contents three times, Jia Yun understood it clearly. Then he carefully wrote down the correct answers silently on the scratch paper. After writing, he made sure that there were no questions, so he put them aside and read again.
Towards the assessment content of a poem in five characters and six rhymes.
"Five-character poetry, isn't it simple?"
"When I first arrive, I have to make a splash. I must not hide my clumsiness, lest the talented people from Jiangnan underestimate my true ability."
Jia Yun basically didn't need to think too much about this five-character and six-rhyme test poem.
Because there is no restriction on the subject matter or other things for a five-character and six-rhyme test poem. It just requires you to write a five-character and six-rhyme test poem. You can improvise as long as you can read it through without typos and
Just ask the questions above.
The content of the exam, the former is the recitation and dictation of saints' articles, and the latter is even more interesting. If you write a poem, there is no restriction on the subject matter. Then you can copy the poems you have written before. Isn't it safe to pass?
The contents of both assessments were the most basic. Jia Yun was full of thoughts, swiping pen and ink, and quickly wrote the answers on the draft. She confirmed and considered them again and again, and after rechecking them several times,
Only then did I carefully copy it onto the volume.
Be cautious in everything you do and be cautious.
The imperial examination is related to your future future and destiny, so you cannot be too careful.
Jia Yun not only wants to take the imperial examination, but also plans to rank first in high school and become the "county case leader!"
With the title of "County Case Chief", there is no need to participate in the subsequent government examinations and college examinations. It will directly be regarded as a scholar. This is also the special treatment for the first scholar in the ancient imperial examinations. Special promotions are made and talents are demoted regardless of the pattern.
In the second test, one essay from four books, one essay on sexual theory or the Classic of Filial Piety, and about 100 words of "Holy Edict and Guangxun" must be written silently, without any typos or erasures.
The "Holy Edict and Guangxun" is actually the ideological education of students promulgated in the form of an imperial edict, with five to six thousand words.
For students from disadvantaged backgrounds who have no connections, not only is the content difficult to obtain, but it also requires connections and connections.
Even if you are an extremely gifted scholar, if you don't have an imperial examination teacher to guide you, you will never be able to pass this level. Faced with these unfamiliar contents, you don't need to take the exam and just wait to die.
It is not easy to take the imperial examination for a poor family. After all, books are worth gold, and every word is worth a fortune. It is difficult to find a single book. In addition, there are no famous teachers to guide the way and there is sectarian prejudice. How can we say that the imperial examination is easy?
But for someone like Jia Yun, who has the template of a scholar, it is extremely easy and effortless to write down content that has been learned before.
It’s better to write on a draft first. Even if you have a photographic memory, you still need a steady hand.
After double-checking that there are no errors, copy the content on the manuscript paper onto the paper, and you have completed answering the questions.
In the third session, there is a test of four texts or scriptures, a rhyme and a poem, a poem in five characters and eight rhymes, and the first two sentences of the "Holy Edict and Guangxun" in the previous session.
The fourth and fifth consecutive exams mainly test scriptures, poems, classics, and parallel prose.
These contents are all simple basic contents. If Jia Yun is sure of taking the exam, she is already confident.
He also thought about the affairs outside. Due to the imperial examinations these days, Jia Yun had not had close contact with the Jianghu in Jinling Mansion. She couldn't help but recall what she had told Chen Donglin before.
"Jia Yucun is already on his way to take office."
"The day when I take office should be on these days."
"Hey, without Jia Yucun taking office, these people would just ignore the rabbit."
"However, if Jia Yucun actually takes office, the price will not be the same as it is now."
Thinking like this, Jia Yun prepared to stand up and hand in the test paper after gathering it.
"What? Someone actually wants to hand in a paper?"
"This is just an hour after the fourth exam started!"
In several small rooms next to Jia Yun, as well as in several rooms in remote places, you can also see Jia Yun getting up to hand in the paper. Her face changed slightly, she looked at her test paper gloomily, and she couldn't help but think, "Submit the paper in advance.
