This Qibao Leicha made by Yuuchi is made of sesame seeds, peanuts, mung beans, arrowroot powder, glutinous rice, red beans, etc., which are fried together with the powdered tea. When you drink it, you will get a paste in your mouth, which will make you feel very comfortable after drinking it.
A bowl of Qibao Leicha entered the bottom of his stomach. Zhang Yue sweated a little. After eating a few imperial noodles, he was half full.
Although Zhang Yue wanted to eat more, he stopped. Eating too much would not be good for the next exam. However, I heard that the food, including tableware and other items given by the palace, can be packed and taken away. Anyway, you are here, so there is no need.
Be polite to the emperor.
Zhang Yue immediately thought that even at this age, the emperor still personally inspected the examination room, which showed that he attached great importance to selecting talents for the country.
When the emperor came to the examination hall in person, which scholar would not be excited and wanted to show off his talents in front of the emperor, so that he could transfer his talents to the emperor's family in the future.
After Zhang Yue finished eating, he wrote another Qingming poem about Tiande. The writing was quite satisfactory. Since his poetic talent was mediocre, he had to hide his clumsiness. Anyway, it is difficult to produce good works in the imperial examination poems. The result was the accumulation of everyone's daily hard work.
When the last question was left, the sun was already in the west, and the crown needle on the corona was already pointing to the end. Zhang Yue did not have much time left for this question.
However, this is more like a Taoist theory, which is different from Fu. It can be written in the form of prose regardless of the format. This saves the effort of describing rhymes and words.
Without these constraints, what would be the format of a discussion? For example, in the Historical Records, there is a section where Tai Shigong said, This is a discussion.
In addition, there are also the Theory of Guo Qin and the Theory of Six Kingdoms. The ancients have read The Theory of Qin, and the Song Dynasty people have read The Theory of Six Kingdoms. They are all good examples.
If I really don’t know how to write treatises, I can just imitate the treatises on Qin and the treatises on the Six Kingdoms.
But if water is closer to the Tao, what should you decide for yourself?
If Confucianism and Legalism are a dispute over the lines of governance, that is what Zhang Yue is interested in.
For such an aspiring worldly person, Zhang Yue was not very interested in Taoist learning such as Huang Lao's.
What is Tao?
This is a very vague concept. If we study it in depth, we may easily become metaphysical inadvertently.
Zhang Yue discussed the theory of Shui Yu Yu Dao, and after reading it over and over again, he was unable to do anything.
Zhang Yue changed his mind and thought that since it was an examination question, there must be a way to solve it, so it was meaningless to dwell on the worldly issues. How to introduce the worldly issues into worldly knowledge was what mattered.
Zhang Yue read the question again. The question can be broken down into three structures: water, geometry, and Tao.
What does "geometric" mean? It means "nearly".
It is said that water is close to Tao, but it is not Tao. But what is the difference between water and Tao?
Thinking of this, candidates were already handing in papers one after another, most of them with relaxed and natural expressions on their faces.
Zhang Yue saw that the sky was getting darker, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. He had some thoughts and couldn't help but stop.
Zhang Yue spent a lot of effort before he could focus on the topic again.
The first sentence of the Tao Te Ching is that the Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. The name can be named, but it is not named.
Here it is also said that water is closer to the Tao. Is this a contradiction?
No, water is the name, Tao is the Tao, the relationship between the two is this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue suddenly realized that this question was not about how water resembles Tao, but how water does not resemble Tao.
Zhang Yue immediately wrote it down on the scroll.
The Tao is higher than all things. It cannot be seen or heard. Water is a natural thing that exists. It can be seen and heard. There is no water in the Tao, so it is called Ji.
What does this sentence mean?
Just like Confucius said benevolence, what exactly is benevolence?
Confucius said that a benevolent person loves others; restraining oneself and restoring propriety is benevolence; a benevolent person, if he wishes to establish himself, he establishes others, and if he wishes to achieve self-reliance, he can help others, this is also benevolence.
Then there is some confusion here.
Which sentence is benevolence?
Love others? Do you deny yourself and return to etiquette? Or do you stand up for yourself and help others?
These three are not true benevolence, but they are all benevolence, but they are just external uses of benevolence.
Therefore, the general chapter must talk about why water is close to the Tao, but it is not the Tao.
Water is the external manifestation of Tao. One is virtual and the other is real.
The first article said it is different from Tao, and the next chapter will be easier to write. So what are the Tao of water?
The husband does not fight, so no one in the world can fight with him.
The weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the strong.
Do nothing and do nothing.
These are the characteristics of the Tao on the water body, just like Confucius explaining what benevolence is.
Writing this, Zhang Yue felt that it was almost finished. Before he knew it, it was getting dark, and the papers on both sides were almost finished.
However, Zhang Yue took a look and found that after writing so much, there were at least 500 words, and there were still dozens of words missing.
At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The meaning of the article was almost complete, but there were still a few words missing. We couldn't get rid of the water? What should we do?
As for the distance, Wang Kuize also stood up at this time to hand in his papers.
He had already finished writing, but in order not to let others doubt it, he still insisted on submitting it until the end.
Although this Shuiji Taoist treatise was a little difficult for him, it was not a big problem.
He consciously realized that not only did he answer the questions perfectly, but he also felt comfortable during the exam. If nothing else happened...
Wang Kui glanced at Zhang Yue who was thinking hard in the corridor from a distance, and a sneer broke out on his lips.
"Zhang Duzhi is like a lamp that has run out of fuel and has no ideas. It is really pitiful. It is difficult for you to argue with me this time. How can a mere prostitute use such methods to mess with my mind?"
After speaking, Wang Kui smiled, then held the papers in both hands and respectfully handed them to the examiner before leaving Chongzheng Hall.
Zhang Yue was also very anxious at this moment, but he knew that Yue could not be confused at this moment.
In addition to the quite satisfactory performance in poetry, the essay on Fu and Fu has also performed beyond its capabilities. However, this essay still lacks a strong enough conclusion.
Zhang Yue saw examiners urging candidates to hand in papers. At that flash of lightning, Zhang Yue somehow thought of the scene when he first entered Taixue.
The debate with Mr. Hu Yuan on Ming Ti Da Yong in the hall.
It is too much to be unable to understand the body, and it is not enough to be able to use it.
Then there are some that are less than, some that are close to, and some that are even less than.
For example, what is benevolence?
Love others? Restrain oneself and return propriety? If you want to establish yourself, you should establish others; if you want to achieve yourself, you should achieve others?
These three are not benevolence, but they are all part of benevolence, so which one is closer to benevolence?
I think the word "loving others" is closer to benevolence!
Therefore, everything in the world has the nature of Tao, stone has Tao nature, bamboo has Tao nature, but Laozi did not talk about stone or bamboo, but only said that water is more than Tao, and his meaning is similar to loving others.
This single stroke makes the whole article coherent and coherent, just like a spring of water spreading to the heaven and earth at a glance, and finally turning into rainwater and gathering into the spring.
It is enough to be able to write articles like this in this life.
After finishing writing Zhang Yue, I closed my eyes tightly and suddenly felt that I was the only one in the world.
At this moment, the editor Zhao Bian walked up to Zhang Yue and looked up and down at the candidate who was sleeping while writing with his hands behind his hands. His face was full of suspicion. Then he lowered his head and took a look at the last light before the sun set.
The name on the roll of this life.
Zhang Yue?
Zhao Pian couldn't help but be startled. Isn't this a candidate who was given the exam papers by a government official in disguise of his name?
Zhao Peng got to know this person after reading Zhang Yue’s article after taking the exam. How could this young man be like this in front of him now?
