Both Su Xun and Chen Xiliang suffered from poor poetry and poetry, so they always focused on teaching poetry and poetry when educating their younger generation. Since Chen Ke came to this world, he has learned rhyme, antithesis, and destiny...
...During daily discussions with the Su Shi brothers, I laid a solid foundation in poetry and poetry, and also learned how to obtain high scores when taking exams.
For example, this poem "Tian De Qing Ming Poems" requires the rhyme of the flat-tone characters in the title, and is limited to five characters and six rhymes. First of all, you have to understand that this is from "Mao Shi" "Qing Temple, Sacrifice to King Wen" Note: "Heaven"
De Qingming, King Wen Xiangyan.' To come up with a title, you need to carefully combine several contents of the title in the poem, from their top and bottom, left and right, front and back, front and back, internal and external aspects. It seems that
It is ingenious and interesting, but in fact, like the later eight-legged essay, it does not contain any of the author's own thoughts and feelings, let alone being expressed as a discussion.
If you can stick to the topic, use rhyme, and make no mistakes in the antitheses, the poem will be considered qualified. If on this basis, the rhetoric is gorgeous, it will be considered a good one. If you can write one or two aphorisms, you will be a top master.
. But if I want to write a famous poem that will be handed down from generation to generation, I am afraid that the poet saint will not be able to do it again...
The same is true for the poem "The Joy of Renren is Not in Music". The four-six parallel prose is limited to eight rhymes, and it is required to use the restricted rhymes in order, alternating between straight and oblique, with rhyme characters embedded in the text. Allusions and antitheses must be used.
, explaining things is like doing a dojo in a snail shell, which is a great test of one's literary level, knowledge accumulation and on-the-spot performance.
Chen Ke asked himself if he was not a literary genius like Su Shi, how could he dare to be careless? After he typed out the draft, he scrutinized it word by word and considered it again and again. He didn't even bother to eat lunch, and he didn't finish the three poems and poems until after noon.
After carefully copying, he looked at the hourglass and saw that there was still an hour before dark, so he carefully dried the test paper and put it in his bag. Then he copied down the five strategic questions. He considered them one by one until dark.
No writing was done.
After eating some solid food in the evening, Chen Ke lay on the bed and continued to write. After a while, the examination room was filled with loud snoring. Most of the candidates did not fall asleep last night. Naturally, they slept deeply today, and their snoring was one level higher than yesterday.
Of course, there are those who can't sleep for two nights in a row, with red eyes and want to kill...
Chen Ke didn't fall asleep immediately. But he was mentally prepared, so he kept typing with his eyes closed, and didn't drift off until the middle of the night. At dawn, the invigilator called him early, so he went out to wash up briefly and quickly returned to his desk.
Before. Copy the five drafts I typed last night on the manuscript paper, then carefully consider and revise them, and copy them into the test paper.
After checking it again from beginning to end to make sure there were no typos or taboos forgotten, Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief and saw that it was only noon.
But as the name suggests, the lock-in examination means that they are locked in the office to take the exam, and the door will not be opened before the time. Chen Ke had no choice but to put the test papers into the test bag, eat something, and then put down the bedroll and prepare to go back to sleep.
The invigilator came over and said with a dark face: "It's broad daylight, why should you sleep?"
The answer: "Napping..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as the examination time arrived, there was a burst of gongs in the examination room, and the candidates had basically finished answering the papers. The examiner collected the papers, bundled and sealed all the papers in the ten examination rooms, and then opened the door of the Gongyuan and let the candidates leave.
field.
Chen Ke carried the examination box on his back and the bedroll, and met Song Duanping and Wulang in the courtyard and left the Gongyuan. Their examination papers were sent to the collection office. In the collection office, there was a collector who checked each copy first.
Whether there are any irregularities in the test paper mainly depends on whether the words are written outside the grid and whether there are marks inside. If there are, the test paper will be picked out and it will be completely useless.
Qualified test papers will be stamped with the examination number and handed over to the sealing office. The sealing office's responsibility is to anonymize the candidates' personal information, that is, to seal the candidates' personal information and stamp it, and even the examiner cannot tear it apart.
After that, it was handed over to the transcription office, and all the scribes, hundreds of people, transcribed the examination papers with red pens. Each copy must be copied exactly as it is, with no mistakes in every stroke... including typos. On the completed paper, the transcript must be marked.
Copy the name of the person.
In order to ensure that the copying is accurate, the examination paper will be transferred to the reading center. In the reading center, two people will work in pairs. You will read and I will start to read the mistakes. After confirming that there are no errors, the person who is reading must also be noted. One copy
There are three people who signed the test paper. If there is any problem in the future, these three people will be held accountable.
After the examination paper was processed to prevent fraud, it was sent to the inner curtain officer... There was only a curtain between the courtyard where the examination paper was processed and the yard where the examination papers were graded. But this curtain was insurmountable. You could only talk through the curtain. People outside
You can't go in, and people inside can't come out. This is absolutely forbidden to prevent people from the inner curtain and the outer curtain from colluding.
The inner palm collected the red papers sent from the outer curtain and gave them to the examiner Xie Jingchu, but Xie Jingchu did not mark the papers. Instead, he distributed the test papers to fellow examiners of various subjects. Although the imperial examinations of the imperial dynasty had more than ten subjects, Jinshi was only
One of the subjects, however, to this day, the imperial court only values Jinshi, so there are many more people who take the Jinshi subject than Ming Jing, Ming Fa and other subjects combined.
Therefore, the number of fellow examiners who judged Jinshi examination papers was the largest, with a total of twenty-eight... Fortunately, the most indispensable thing in the Song Dynasty was officials. In order to avoid suspicion, bundles of examination papers were numbered, and the examiners drew their lots.
Read whichever bundle you shake.
Each examiner reads about 200 points, first reading the scriptures, and then reading the meaning. These all have standard answers, and it is the easiest to read. The examiners follow the same standard, and the candidates can make at most one mistake out of the ten questions in the scriptures.
There are no more than two mistakes in the ten questions on Mo Yi, and the sum of Mo Yi and Sutra can not be wrong twice in total... Only papers like this are qualified to continue reading.
If you don't meet the requirements, you will be dismissed directly. No matter what you write in the back, the examiner won't even read it. Some people think this is unfair, but it can indeed greatly reduce the examiner's workload, and it makes sense... Posted by Sutra,
Mo Yi only looks at basic skills. If even the basic skills are not solid, it shows how bad his learning attitude is. How can such a candidate be sent to the Ministry of Rites?
Probably at this stage, two-fifths of the candidates will be dismissed, but the real difficulty lies behind - poetry theory and policy theory are both subjective questions, and the examiner must read them over and over again before they can judge the merits. I am afraid of the examiners.
Perfunctorily, ask them to read the candidates' articles. Only by adding punctuation can you prove that you have read it, and every article must be punctuated.
Intensive reading is not enough, you also need to write comments. Whether you are admitted or not, you must give reasons... 200 test papers and 1,600 articles are required to be approved within ten days, which can definitely make people collapse.
.
But no one dares to perfunctory, because the marked test papers will eventually be sent to the Ministry of Rites for review to review the examiner's marking work. Even if the punctuation is incorrect, it will be regarded as a misjudgment. If there is a misjudgment, you will be fined.
If you misjudge the salary again, you will be demoted... The pressure can be imagined, so no one wants to be this fellow examiner, and the Ministry of Rites will forcefully assign him every time.
The fellow examiners will send the papers that they think are acceptable back to the chief examiner. The deputy examiner will first read them and think they are acceptable. Then he will write "acceptable" and hand them to the chief examiner. If he thinks they are not acceptable, he will send them back.
The chief examiner will generally not refute the deputy examiner's reputation. The examinee who answers this question will be successful if he gives the final mark of "middle".
In addition, the two chief examiners also have the responsibility of reviewing the examination papers of the locked examination... Because of the introduction of anti-fraud methods such as locking, sealing, and transcribing, there is no need to find another person to mark the papers of the candidates in the locked examination.
, but were sent into the inner curtain together with other candidates' papers, and then randomly assigned to two same examiners.
However, after they finished marking the papers, the two examiners had to search through all the papers to make sure there was no malpractice for personal gain.
Today is already the thirteenth day of marking, and Bachelor Xie is checking the examination papers for the lock-down examination. He listened to the instigation of Mr. Wen San and regarded Chen Ke as a romantic scholar who indulged in leaning on the red and greenery and did not do his job properly. Xie
The bachelor was a traditional scholar, determined to suppress his impetuosity and maintain integrity, so he deliberately picked out Chen Ke's paper and dismissed it.
But there is no name on the red scroll, and even the handwriting is not his own, but how can he identify it? However, Bachelor Xie has an insight. He knows that Chen Ke is a student of Ouyang Xiu, and Ouyang Xiu hates Taixue style most in his life, and his students must not have the same
I can write in Taixue style.
So Xie Xie focused on finding out the Taixue style from the "Lun", and rejected all those that were not Taixue style... There were actually a few good articles that were not Taixue style, but Xie Xie ruthlessly brushed them off.
.
In the next few days, I discussed the ranking with the deputy chief examiner and the examiners. Usually, except for the top few, the ranking in the examination is not important because it is only a qualification to participate in the tribute examination. Therefore, the examiners are relatively relaxed and very relaxed.
The ranking was quickly drawn up.
On August 28, the two chief examiners and their respective teachers went to the Zhigong Hall to fill out the exams. Those who filled in the main exam first saw that the first place was the famous Liu Ji, and the examiners all cheered loudly... He won the prize.
There is a recognized solution, which shows that they are fair in marking.
The second place was named Su Shi. This candidate was relatively unfamiliar to everyone, but everyone was amazed by his article. They thought he was better than Liu Ji. However, because he was not a great scholar, he was ranked second by Bachelor Xie. This was quite convincing.
Taken orally.
The third person is named Zeng Gong. He is Ouyang Xiu’s disciple, so naturally no one will be dissatisfied with him.
Su Che, who ranked fourth, was actually a brother of Su Shi. The examiners laughed, but it was another good story.
Then fill in, the fifth place is Lu Huiqing...the tenth place is Chen Wu, the eleventh place is Zhang Zai, the sixteenth place is Zeng Bu, the twenty-eighth place is Jia Quan, the thirty-eighth place is Zeng Fu, the sixtyth place is
Eight Lu Deqing, one hundred and seventy Cheng Hao... The examiners have long reached a consensus that the level of the Imperial Examination in this subject is extremely high, and I am afraid that most of the exam candidates will be able to get the first place in the coming year.
After all the 500 full-time candidates had been filled in, they were then locked up for the examination. The examiner sang out the number of the first paper, and the clerk found the corresponding test paper, opened it in public, and named it, and sang loudly: "The winner's last name is
Chen, whose name is Ke, is from the Qingshen family of Yizhou, and is the official Zuo Chengshilang..."
'Wow...' The officials had all heard of Chen Ke's name, and they all laughed and said: "It is indeed him. There is no strong player in this department's lock examination. I'm afraid we have to wait until the palace examination to find out his worth..."
But I saw that Bachelor Xie's nose was almost crooked with anger. He asked for Chen Ke's original paper and read it again, and it was indeed correct. He couldn't help but feel extremely depressed, and cursed in his heart, "Aren't you a student of Ouyang Xiu? What you wrote about your sister is too much."
