(It was exposed, please vote for recommendation to save your life!) -
After reading until midnight, Chen Ke went back to his room to sleep. He saw that Erlang had come back early and was lying on the bed, looking at the beams and grinning.[]
"Is this crying or laughing?"
"Laughing and crying at the same time."
"how to say?"
"What's funny is that I finally went out on the street with a little lady;" Chen Erlang said with an incomprehensible expression: "What's funny is that when I came back, people said that she was already familiar with the road and no longer had to trouble me...
"
"Hey, don't be discouraged. Is a third party interfering? How can you get in without the spirit of stalking?" Chen Ke blew out the lamp, comforted him casually, then hugged the pillow and went to meet Duke Zhou. Only one person was left behind.
Chen Erlang tossed and turned there, sleeping hard and thinking...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a blink of an eye, the day of registration arrived. Chen Xiliang, who had been sleeping all night, got up with dark circles under his eyes. He first dragged Wu Lang out of bed, then went to Chen Ke's room and knocked on the door: "Get up quickly, get dressed and eat, or you will be late!"
After Sanlang finished dressing and washing up, and was sitting in the dining hall eating breakfast, Chen Xiliang noticed: "Why aren't you wearing a newly sewn sweatshirt?"
Sanlang glanced at Erlang sadly and said in a low voice: "Ask him."
Erlang lowered his head to drink the soup and pretended not to hear. He would not tell his father because he heard that the sweater was sewn by Ba Niang, so he shamelessly snatched it away.
After dinner, Chen Xiliang sent his sons to the door, when he saw Su Xun also seeing Su Shi and Su Zhe off.
"Why, you have to go and take the exam in person?" Su Xun saw Chen Xiliang holding an umbrella and seemed to be going out, so he asked knowingly: "Well, being a father and a mother at the same time, it is inevitable that the mother-in-law and mother will be a bit confused."
"Who said I was going to send him off?" Chen Xiliang said with disdain: "My boy can save his worries."
"Hey..." Su Xun curled his lips and said, "Don't you think my boy is worried?" He put the dry food bag on his shoulder and put it on Su Shi's neck and said, "I'll send you here."
The two elders who originally planned to take the exam all stopped going. Sanlang, Wulang, Su Shi and Su Che, who were going to take the exam, led by Chen Erlang and left the city talking and laughing.
It takes more than ten miles to walk from the county seat to Zhongyan Temple.
On the left side of the road is a mountain, and on the right is a river dam. On the mountain there are lush bamboo trees and miscellaneous flowers covering the slopes. On the dam, rice waves roll and rapeseed flowers turn yellow. From time to time, you can see farmers and cattle working on the dam, working in the mountains. This picture
The beautiful pastoral pictures of mountain villages deeply attracted the young people who escaped from their prisons. They pointed out the landscapes, admired the picturesque spring scenery, and sang to each other with poems.
The so-called harmonization is to write poems to harmonize with others. There are several ways to sing harmoniously. The most relaxed is to only write poems to harmonize without harmonizing with the original rhyme of the poem; the most stringent is to use the same rhyme and the same word, which is also a way to hone your poetry writing skills.
A good way.
In this era, the ability to compose poetry is a must-have ability for literati. Artificial obstacles are enough to increase the fun of using words and rhymes. Among this group of people, Su Dongpo is unparalleled in poetry. He uses rhymes easily and naturally, and his poems are also full of beauty.
, although it is still far from reaching the state of perfection, it already reveals a genius ready to express itself. The poems of Su Che and Chen Ke are inferior. Both of them can easily control the words and rhythm, and the poems are also impressive, but it is difficult to create that kind of poetry.
An indescribable sense of beauty.
Although Chen Chen was the eldest, his ability to compose poems was quite average and he could barely keep up with the rhythm of the three of them. As for Wu Lang, after he tried his best to hold back a poem, he remained silent and suffered greatly.
Traveling deep.
Just as a few people were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves behind them. The soldiers who were on their way rushed to the side of the road to get out of the way, and saw several tall horses galloping past, and many people's clothes were splashed.
Mud... Wulang was one of them. He cherished his brand-new sweatshirt very much along the way and would not walk in a slightly muddy place. Unexpectedly, despite being careful, he still got splashed all over him. This made him very annoyed and he spit out two
One word: "Asshole!"
The Su Shi brothers were a little embarrassed, because they could clearly see that those riding on the horses were the Cheng brothers.
"It's them..." Chen Ke also recognized the Cheng brothers. He had avoided them once in Meishan, but he didn't expect them again in Qingshen. He squinted his eyes and stared at the figure on the horse. He didn't know.
What are you planning?
"Okay, let's go on our way, otherwise we have to get up early and catch the big gathering late." After wasting too much time, Chen Chen looked at the rising sun and urged him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
People in Meizhou say that there was Zhongyan Temple first and then Mount Emei.
The temples in Zhongyan were founded in the middle of the Tang Dynasty by eminent monks from Tianzhu. They were gradually expanded and eventually became the grand temple complex we see today.
The entire temple complex is divided into the lower temple, the middle temple and the upper temple. The lower temple is located on the bank of the Minjiang River; the middle temple is hidden in the jungle on the mountainside, five miles away from the lower temple;
It is five miles long. A stone staircase path winds around the forest on the edge of the rock, connecting the three temples together.
Zhongyan Academy is located in Zhongyan Temple. At first, the backyard of the Zhongyan Temple was used as a lecture hall. Its founder, Mr. Wang Fang Wang, built the academy in the temple. First, the environment here is quiet, elegant, far away from the city, and is suitable for preaching.
Xiang Xue: Secondly, the abbot of the temple is his cousin, so it is easy for the family to discuss things.
After Qingli established the academy, the number of people coming to the academy to study increased dramatically. Wang Fang, with the help of the county government, took over the vacant Zen monasteries in the upper and lower temples. After repairs, they built new classrooms and dormitories... Although people in the Song Dynasty worshiped Buddhism,
However, the number of monks is far less than that of the Five Dynasties. This is all thanks to Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, who issued a decree to order monks and nuns all over the world to return to secular life. The Song Empire still benefits from this, as evidenced by the large number of abandoned Zen monasteries.
At this moment, Chen Ke and others, along with more than a thousand scholars who had signed up for school, were led to the lecture platform behind the temple. Where the eminent monks had died in the past, there was a large square that could accommodate a thousand people.
A middle-aged man wearing a white silk robe and a black turban on his head appeared on the lecture platform. After the students calmed down, he introduced himself as Yuan, a deacon of the academy: "You are here well prepared.
, I don’t need to go into details about the benefits of this academy. I will just talk about the structure of this academy... Our Zhongyan Academy has three levels and six halls. The three junior halls are located in the lower temple, the two intermediate halls are located in the middle temple, and the senior hall is located in the upper temple.
.”
"After the entrance examination, those who pass the exam will enter the three primary classes of 'Benevolence', 'Yi' and 'Li'. After one and a half years, those who are good at liberal arts will be promoted to the intermediate two classes of 'Wisdom' and 'Faith'.
.After another year and a half, those who are proficient in both economics and history, and who are excellent in both arts and sciences will be promoted to the higher-level 'Su Xing Tang' study, and after accumulating credits, they can graduate."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," Deacon Yuan said one last time: "Next is the entrance examination of our hospital. You need to answer it carefully, which affects whether you can be admitted to the hospital this year." After saying this, he rang the stage.
There is a golden gong on it: "After receiving the number plate, find the corresponding examination room for the preliminary test."
Immediately there were people from the academy carrying baskets and distributing number plates to the students. Chen Ke got a T-shaped number, the same number as Su Zhe, Su Shi and Wu Lang got an A-shaped number and an E-shaped number. The four of them split up to find their respective classrooms.
.
The examination room for Chen Ke and Su Che was in a Zen room on the east side of the lecture platform. When the two arrived, there were already more than 20 people queuing in front of them. The students went in one by one, and they came out as soon as they could have a cup of tea.
Some had tears streaming down their faces, some had solemn expressions, and none had a relaxed expression.
"Didn't anyone get accepted?" Su Zhe said nervously.
"No, most likely it won't be announced on the spot." Chen Kekuan explained to him, and when the one in front came out, he said, "It's my turn, just wait for my good news."
"Yes!" Su Zhe nodded heavily and said, "Third brother will definitely be fine!"
"Well..." Chen Ke also felt a little worried. He took a deep breath and stepped into the meditation room.
In the Zen room, there was a long table. Behind the long table, three middle-aged Confucian scholars were sitting. When Chen Ke came in, the one in the middle said: "Close the door."
Chen Ke did as he was told, returned to the center of the room and stood still, and then heard the man ask: "Name, age, place of origin."
"Chen Ke, fourteen years old, Qingshenren surname."
"Where did you go to school before?" Zhongyan Academy was a middle school in this era. Scholars generally received a complete primary education in a private school or school before coming here to further their studies.
"The student has never gone to school." Chen Ke answered honestly: "He studied at home."
"Self-study." The three Confucian scholars laughed and said, "What have you learned?"
"Teach the primary school first, and then study the Thirteen Classics."
"How far have you learned?"
"Has little knowledge."
"Hmm." After finishing the routine questioning, the man stopped saying anything. He turned to the left and said, "I'll test you on a few words. First, recite Chapter 3 of the Princes of the Book of Filial Piety."
"Don't be arrogant when you are above, be high but not dangerous; be restrained and cautious, be full but not overflowing. Be high but not dangerous, so you will always be noble. If you are full but not overflowing, you will always be rich. Wealth and honor will never leave you, and then you can
To protect the country and its people is to show the filial piety of the princes." Chen Ke replied without thinking: "The "Poetry" says: 'Warring with fear is like facing an abyss or walking on thin ice.'"
"Recite "The Analects of Confucius" again, Constitution Question No. 14." The examiner on the left said again.
"Xian asked about shame. The Confucius said: 'If a state has the Way, it has grain. If a state does not have the Way, the grain is shame.'" For Chen Ke, this was not difficult at all. He recited it fluently: "...Confucius said: 'Poverty
But it is difficult to have no complaints, and it is easy to be rich without arrogance.'"
"That's it." The examiner on the left shouted to stop.
"Let's talk about another passage." It was the examiner's turn on the right to speak: "Zengzi said: 'How wonderful! Filial piety is the greatest thing.' Say this."
Although you are asked to lecture on the scriptures, you still have to memorize them. Every Confucian classic has commentaries. The commentary on the Xiao Jing is called "The Justice of Xiao Jing". It has detailed explanations for every article of the scripture. You only need to read it word by word according to the chapter.
The answer, if it is changed, is wrong. Although it is rigid and rigid, it is the basis for writing well-founded articles in the future - where the evidence comes from, there are only the Thirteen Classics and its commentaries. As a basic training, it is correct.
.
"After hearing about the infinite highs and lows of practicing filial piety, I realized that filial piety is the most important thing. Confucius said: 'The husband's filial piety is the scripture of heaven, the meaning of earth, and the conduct of the people.'..." Chen Ke himself had an excellent memory and used it in a practical way.
Later generations summarized and memorized the method, so the answer is accurate: "...the law is clear and common, and the right place is implemented according to the favorable conditions, and the political and religious administration is carried out according to the situation. It does not need to be serious to become reasonable."
The examiner asked him to speak another sentence from "The Analects of Confucius". After listening to it accurately, he nodded and said: "It's very solid."
"Well, I studied very hard on my own." Several examiners who had always kept a straight face smiled, and the one in the middle said directly: "Go out and have a rest, and wait for the results to be announced."
"Excuse me, three teachers." Chen Ke knew that he should have passed, so he bowed respectfully and withdrew.
