The test in Daqian Township Examination is eight-part essay, which is referred to as eight-legged essay.
This eight-part essay is different from ordinary articles. It does not mean that you have enough literary talents, but that you have to be well-informed.
If you read more articles, you will be able to understand the questions.
If you understand the problem, you will naturally know how to solve it.
Of course, some people will also wonder why they are all students who have studied hard for more than ten years. How can they not understand the questions? This is too absurd.
But this is really the case.
Over the years, the examiners at Daqian have racked their brains in order to come up with new ideas for the Eight-part Examination.
In terms of setting the topic, it has reached an unprecedented level.
Li Changkong vaguely remembered that the second year of Jingxing was probably the most difficult year to pass the exam.
The test was about interception and matching questions.
Normally, the title of the Eight-legged Essay is excerpted from a famous saint's article.
The candidates are asked to take this topic as a topic and write an article according to the structure of breaking the topic, continuing the topic, starting the topic, entering the topic, beginning the first chapter, middle third, last third, and final third.
Although the structure is complex, there are rules to follow everywhere, and it is not innovative, it is not too torture for candidates with a solid foundation.
After all, there are only a few articles written by famous saints. If you really study hard, you will have memorized them by heart in more than ten years.
The only difficulty is the format of the eight-legged essay.
The questions can be completely different!
The most difficult thing for him is to solve the problem!
Li Changkong vaguely remembered that in his previous life, this type of question developed most prosperously in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
The most famous question at that time was "All Ya Yan Ye, Ye Gong asked Confucius Yu Zilu".
What's the meaning?
It doesn't seem to make sense at all, it's simply confusing.
In fact, it's right to be confused.
This is the tricky part of the interception question. The question is not a complete sentence, but a sentence extracted from two unrelated articles, and finally combined as a test question.
For example, this sentence "It's all elegant words, Ye Gong asked Confucius Yu Zilu".
The former is excerpted from "Zi's elegant words, poems and books, and etiquette are all elegant words."
This means that Confucius also used elegant dialects. When he read the Book of Songs, the Book of Documents, and explained the ritual and music system, he used elegant dialects.
The second half of the sentence is excerpted from Ye Gong asked Confucius to Zilu. Zilu is wrong.
Confucius said: "Young woman Xibu said, she is a human being. She is so angry that she forgets to eat, she is happy and forgets her worries, and she does not know that the old man is coming."
It means: Ye Gong asked Zi Lu what kind of person Confucius was, but Zi Lu didn't answer. Confucius said to Zi Lu: "Why don't you tell him that my character is that when I study hard, I forget to eat, and when I am happy, I forget to worry. He doesn’t even notice that he is approaching old age, that’s all.”
So, does Ji Yayan have anything to do with Ye Gong asking Confucius and Yu Zilu?
No! They are just two completely unrelated sentences, and they have nothing to do with even half a copper.
But unfortunately, the candidates at that time had to write an essay based on such a sentence, and then based on a lot of complicated structures such as breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the strand, middle strand, back strand, and closing strand. come out.
Points will be deducted for any poorly written part.
If you get too many deductions, you will lose your reputation.
Li Changkong only remembered the test questions from the Ming Dynasty, but according to his observation, if Daqian is not in the late Ming Dynasty, it is at least similar to the middle Ming Dynasty.
This eight-legged essay simply cannot be written by reading more.
You have to practice and study the questions!
Relatively speaking, in his previous life, Li Changkong actually asked his mentor this question specifically.
The instructor's answer was that only scholars who were taught by Hengshui's method could write such eight-part essays with ease.
Yes, it’s exam-oriented education!
No matter how difficult your question is, if you have seen it beforehand and even received the same reminder, is it still difficult?
There are also a bunch of bullshit structures like breaking the topic, continuing the topic, starting the talk, entering the topic, starting the strand, middle strand, back strand, and closing the strand. It seems very difficult and tricky at first.
But if the same structure has been written ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times, and it is already extremely familiar, will it still be difficult?
Therefore, for question types like Eight-part Writing that have no practical use and will only torment candidates, I am afraid that we can only use exam-oriented education to polish them.
As a good young man who had been tortured by exam-oriented education for nearly twenty years in his previous life, Li Changkong was naturally familiar with this method.
Therefore, in the large pile of test papers given to Li Long, he did not write how to solve the questions or how to write the essay.
Li Long, an out-and-out Dagan man, knows these better than he, a time-traveler.
It's just that the matter of writing eight-legged essays is too sacred, and I can't bring myself to write the questions at all.
So what Li Changkong wrote to him was only the question-answering techniques he had used in the past twenty years, from junior high school to junior high school, junior high school to high school, college entrance examination, and postgraduate entrance examination!
These are all the fruits of his hard work in exchange for his beautiful hair!
I hope that the advanced education experience from the past life and a month of closed life can make this guy reborn and feel the power of exam-oriented education.
Several days have passed, and for some reason, the criticism against Li Changkong from the outside world has subsided a lot.
"Zhen Jian, the noise outside has become quieter these days. Do you know why?" Li Changkong is a homebody. In addition to going to the East Palace for duty, he just lies at home eating, drinking and having fun. When something happens, he will naturally Go ask Zhen Jian.
"It is said that someone spread the news about what happened in Qingren Palace that day, so there was a rumor among the public that it was all because Lu Heng was jealous of the young master that he took this step and seriously damaged the young master's reputation."
"The young master was completely unaware of Li Long's matter. It was a helpless move."
When Li Changkong heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "This method is similar to what I thought, but it's a little too radical."
"Nowadays, public opinion is still at the forefront. I am afraid that no matter what reason is given, those angry scholars will not accept it."
"After all, this person will only believe what he wants to believe."
"The young master's prediction is good. Even if what he saw and heard in Qingren Palace is true, and his speculation about Lu Heng is reasonable, no one takes it to heart."
"It didn't take long for it to be forgotten by people and it never caused any waves."
Hearing this, Li Changkong sighed: "Although it is ineffective, at least it is my heart. Giving help when it is in need is far more difficult than adding icing on the cake."
"Who brought this news? We must keep this friendship in our hearts."
"It was passed down by Li Shanchang, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine." Zhen Jian said.
"Legend of Li Jijiu?" Li Changkong raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.
The poetry meeting in Qingren Palace was organized by Princess Huaiqing. Without her permission, it would be taboo to spread some information from the poetry meeting without her permission.
Although Li Jijiu had a good relationship with him, there was no need to go to such an extent for him, right?
He originally thought it was the prince who did it, but now it seems that there is someone else behind Li Jijiu's death.
Who is the one?
Li Changkong's mind suddenly flashed into the image of Princess Huaiqing, dressed in a long palace dress, with a delicate face, elegant appearance.
He immediately shook his head, how is that possible?
You treat a princess so well, why should you help yourself if you do it for no reason?
