After spending more than half a month leisurely, Chen Ke and others were invited by Chen Xiliang to go to the government to complete a series of procedures. ("") On the first day of March, they made an appointment with the Su brothers to go together.
Go to Taixue to register.
At the beginning, Chen Xiliang deliberately settled in Nancheng because it would be convenient for them to go to school and take exams. Therefore, the Chen family was only two miles away from the Xuexue Street where Taixue, Imperial College, and Gongyuan were located. For a few pairs of iron feet, it could be said that it was within easy reach.
In an academic street several miles long, Imperial College, Imperial College and Gongyuan are lined up from left to right. In many dynasties, Imperial College and Imperial College were the same thing. In the beginning of the Song Dynasty, only Imperial College was established and only admitted students.
The children of officials above the seventh rank, and lack of complete rules and regulations. To put it bluntly, it is just a place for the second generation of officials to obtain the qualifications of the Imperial College to participate in the Gongyuan Examination of the Ministry of Rites.
The Qingli New Deal reformed the academic administration and expanded school education. As the Imperial College building was "small and insufficient to accommodate scholars," they petitioned to establish an Imperial College in Xiqingyuan on the east side and recruit outstanding students from among the children of officials and common people below the eighth rank.
Among them, the best 200 are internal students, and their meals are provided by the state. The rest are external students, who take care of their own food, but do not charge tuition fees.
In addition to foreign students, there is also a kind of attached students, which are those foreigners who have applied for admission, such as Chen Ke, Su Shi, and Song Duanping, who join the class for the purpose of passing the examination qualifications. Their status can be imagined...
Therefore, the disdain on the face of Taixue Xuelu is understandable. He did not look through the files of several people, but only took out the approval slip from Kaifeng Mansion to look at it, then lowered his eyelids and said: "Don't think that you can just hang around.
Answer the exams aggressively. We will not let the scum affect the reputation of Taixue. Read the academic rules issued to you carefully. Those who do not abide by the academic rules will be expelled. If you pass the monthly exam three times, you will just pack up and return.
Just go home..."
This academic director has great power. He is responsible for enforcing academic rules, conducting examinations and teaching, just like the dean of academic affairs in later generations. If you offend him, you will not have a good life in the future. Therefore, although Chen Ke and others are not angry, they can only endure it.
.(《》)
Fortunately, the academic director didn't want to waste time talking to them, so he asked an assistant teacher to take out the roster and disperse these guys to various schools to join classes. The Taixue School teaches, and each room has about thirty students.
The chief of Taixue is a student, but he has more power than the squad leader in later generations. It is roughly equivalent to the squad leader plus the league secretary plus the study committee member and the disciplinary committee member...
The teaching assistant selected a few classes with relatively small numbers of students, and led Chen Ke and his group to the campus.
The environment in Taixue is very pleasant. Under the tall Chinese pagoda trees, there are rows of spacious classrooms. Walking on the road paved with blue bricks, the sound of reading loudly can be heard in your ears, which really makes you feel happy.
It was time for morning reading at this time. When they arrived in front of a certain school, the teaching assistant would take one of them in to report to the school.
Chen Ke was assigned to the "Xingshanzhai". The teaching assistant also took him in and handed him over to a scholar with a gray beard. When he saw another transfer student coming in, the scholar complained in front of Chen Ke: "Sir
Why did Yue promise me, and why is it only the first day of this month that another person is being admitted?"
"There are only a few people in your cell, and there are almost fifty people in other cells." The assistant teacher said perfunctorily: "It's always like this in the year of the competition. It will pass if you bear it."
"It will hold me back!" Since the Qingli New Deal, not only students have taken exams, but teachers have also been assessed, and all aspects of their remuneration are linked to the success rate.
"How could it be? I didn't dig into your heart." The assistant teacher smiled and said, "Besides, how did you know he wasn't Qianliju?"
"Him?" The assistant teacher looked at Chen Ke's tall and powerful appearance, curled his lips and said: "The imperial examination is not about comparing heads..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Complaints are complaints, and the orders from above cannot be violated. The academic edict could only accept this transfer student. He asked Chen Ke to sit down in the last row and ignored him. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
Chen Ke's eyes widened after he sat down. He had no textbooks and no one told him what to learn. Fortunately, the morning reading was over and the academic lectures began. Since it was the year of the Great Competition, naturally he would not talk about "Ten Ten Years".
Basic knowledge such as "Three Classics" is mainly based on exam-oriented education. Today's class is about the practice of "discussion". According to the usual practice, the students are assigned a topic first, let the students write a discussion, and then explain it.
Chen Kexin said, I will just follow suit, so he sharpened the ink, picked up the pen, and soon made up an article. He said it was just a makeshift, but since he was a child, he had been working with Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Che, Ouyang Xiu, and Zeng Gong...
If five of the eight great families of the Tang and Song Dynasties mix together, no matter how good they are, they will not be worse than the average person.
He still has this confidence.
In just one stick of incense, an article of more than a thousand words was written. Chen Ke put down his pen and breathed a sigh of relief.
His actions attracted the attention of the academic advisor. In such a short period of time, the other students only started writing, and some even didn't write a word. They were suffering from constipation. The academic advisor couldn't help but get curious, so he stood up and took away his article.
, I took it to the podium and took a look at it. I couldn’t help but nod slightly. This wording is really good...
Chen Ke raised his eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief. He said to himself, "It's so small. After seeing my article that is close to the level of the Eight Great Masters, are you not so excited that tears flow down your face? And then he apologizes deeply for his previous arrogance? Ho ho ho..."
Who knows... Not only did the scholar's face show no excitement at all, but he shook his head frequently. He only read half of it and then put it down, as if reading any more would be a waste of time.
Chen Ke's eyes widened, how could this be possible? Even old man Ouyang said that my articles were as good as Zeng Zigu's, so why couldn't he catch the eye of this scholar?
Other students were still composing, and he couldn't ask. He was almost suffocated...
After finally waiting for all the Tai students to hand in their papers, I read the teachings one by one again, then picked out a few sample essays and started to recite them:
‘Ying Qin Zhen Jin Jue Xun, Letai Mountain, Bo Zou Yi, Mou Zhifu, published in Kuaiji...'
"I saw a pool of water flowing into Kunwei under the hill... To the east is a stream, which is thinner than Xunyu..."
'If I am not anxious, I will be safe alone; if I am not smiling, I will be pure...'
With Chen Ke's knowledge, he could hardly understand what the article said.
Fortunately, he had been studying for more than ten years in this era and knew that this was the famous "Tai Xue Style" article. He couldn't help but groan inwardly. If he studied this every day, wouldn't it be more uncomfortable than being constipated every day?
But he also knows that Taixue style has become very popular in recent years. Since the Qingli New Deal, the pursuit of gorgeousness and emptiness in Xikun style has been completely rejected, and the promotion of ancient Chinese prose that emphasizes principles and simplicity has become a new trend in the academic world. Taixue Lectures on Official Stone
The "Tai Xue Style", which was first advocated by the emperor and is widely popular among Taixue students, came into being. This style of writing was an overcorrected product formed during the process of criticizing the flashy and artful Xikun style. Its writing style is straight and fragmented.
Clumsiness is the highest, and it competes with parallel prose everywhere.
As a result, a strange and strange literary style was formed. In this style of writing, whose comments were strange and whose diction was unfamiliar, his articles were superior. And for several consecutive imperial examinations, regardless of "Fu" or "Lun",
'Ce', no matter which literary style, will be judged by this criterion, which makes the dominance of Taixue style more stable.
But since Chen Ke was studying in Shufa, the teachers he studied under...whether Chen Xiliang, Su Xun, Wang Fang, or Ouyang Xiu, all opposed the Taixue style. They believed that this style of writing had neither the plainness and simplicity of ancient prose, nor the simplicity of parallel prose.
Elegant and gorgeous, it is even more empty than parallel prose, and has absolutely no redeeming features. Therefore, Chen Ke has not written a Taixue style article until now.
He finally understood why his father and Su Laoquan asked them to come to Taixue to study for a period - no matter how disgusting the Taixue style is, they still have to take this kind of literary exam, even if they throw it away as soon as they finish the exam, they have to do it now
Learn it.
Even Ouyang Xiu said that if I were an examiner, it would go without saying, but if it were anyone else, I would still have to hold my nose and learn. Ouyang Xiu also cited his own example from back then... I think back then, he insisted on not writing parallel prose, and ended up failing several times.
, and later endured his nausea and studied it, and passed the exam. From then until now, he has never written a parallel essay, and he completely regarded it as a stepping stone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure enough, the lecturer finally picked up Chen Ke's article and said: "The article written by this new student is as clear as white water, and it is as clear as a beginner. If you write such an article, you don't even need to take the exam. The examiner will definitely
Throw it away after just one glance!" He paused and said, "It's not a word, but it's well written."
Okay, okay, you win, I'll hold my nose and learn it, it's not that difficult anyway, such as the sentence 'Win Qin Zhen Jinjue Xun, Mount Le Tai, Bo Zou Yi, Mou Zhifu, Journal Kuaiji...'
, in fact, Qin Shihuang carved his merits and deeds on Mount Tai, Mount Yi, Mount Zhifu and Mount Kuaiji. Le, Bo, Mou, and Ji all mean "engraved", but people use it all over the place, but don't use the most popular one.
.
Therefore, the so-called Taixue style does not speak human language, so how can people not understand it? This is really an advantage for Chen Ke... When it comes to the recognition of various rare and rare characters, who can compare with the editor?
Dictionary comparison?
So when he was learning to write Fu in the afternoon, Chen Ke first wrote the article in ordinary words, and then replaced all the words in it with uncommon words that no one had used in eight generations.
When I took a look at the teachings this time, I was immediately dumbfounded - I didn't recognize one-third of the characters, I didn't understand one-third of the words, and I couldn't understand one-third of the sentences. Is this good or bad?
good?
Ordinarily, it is considered excellent... but it cannot be read as a model essay, because I can't even finish reading it, and I almost cried when I read the instructions.
Going back in the evening, Jiaoyu held the "Dictionary" again and looked up all the words he didn't know. He couldn't help but be surprised and sighed. Suddenly... he was stunned: "Chen Ke, the author of the Dictionary, also has this name."
