Chapter 76 Classical Studies (Thanks to Dong Jianxin, the leader of 1115 Book Club)
Several people on the sidelines of Zhang Yue looked over.
The eldest man stood up and said: "I am the director of Jinshi Zhai, Xu Mingchang. Do you dare to ask some of them who were recruited by Jinkelu Examination?"
Everyone stood up together and said, "That's right, I've met my senior brother."
The man looked at Zhang Yue and said, "I heard that the name of the number one in the Jinke Jing student examination is Zhang Yue. Do you dare to ask if he is the one who ranks first?"
Zhang Yue said: "A humble name is not worth mentioning. I am Zhang Yue."
The man nodded, and several people on the side looked astonished, and then said: "I admire you for being so talented at such a young age!"
Guo Lin, Wu Rang, and Qian Qiming were all envious of him. Zhang Yue ranked first in the admission examination and had passed all the exams, and he had already become famous in the entire county school.
After everyone finished eating and left the restaurant, Zhang Yue couldn't help but said to himself: "Is it difficult to be ranked first in the exam? Is it difficult to pass all the exams?"
The three people on the side were speechless when they heard this. Aren’t your words shocking?
Wu Rang said first: "My dear brother, I don't know something. Most of the students in the county schools are specially admitted. It seems that the ones we took are less than 30%."
“Students in the county school take the admission test with a high regard, not to mention you are the first in the admission test. If you are the first in the Jinshi subject, that would be even more remarkable.”
Zhang Yue suddenly said: "I understand, special registration is like an official position obtained by relying on ancestors' influence, and our several examinations are like official positions obtained by passing the imperial examination."
Wu Rang and Qian Qiming both smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly, this metaphor is very appropriate. If you are the first in economics, it is like being the first in all subjects."
Zhang Yue nodded.
"However, after entering the county school, there will be a private examination every month and a public examination every year. We, the classical students, will be divided into nine classics, five classics, three rites, and three transmissions, and we will study and study. Then we will have to separate the dormitories again.
"
“Oh, why do you say that?”
Wu Rang said: "We, the classics students, read more on our own and our husband taught us less. Most of us study by ourselves in the studio. We study together in the same subject and sleep together to supervise each other and learn from each other, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses."
“What subjects are you going to major in?”
Qian Qiming lowered his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. My family wants me to study the Nine Classics, but I don't have much confidence."
Zhang Yue and Guo Lin looked at each other and said, "We all want to apply for the Nine Classics."
Wu Rang sighed: "I really envy you brothers. I am old, and my ability in reading and writing is only above average. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to get the Five Classics subject. What's more, even if I pass the Five Classics subject, I won't be very promising. It's not as good as
You Jiu Jingke."
Everyone is a little sad. The economics department is different from the Jinshi department. The writing of articles in the Jinshi department requires time and effort. Like Su Shi and others, the articles are better written in the later stages.
But economics and biology are different. You should study when you are young and your memory is at its best. After the age of thirty, your memory will decline.
“If I were two or three years younger, I might try Jiu Jing Ke. But it’s fate that I can meet you.” Wu Rang said with a smile.
Zhang Yue and Guo Lin glanced at each other. It was only the first day that they had to say goodbye.
But a few people had no time to sigh, the drums were already ringing, it was time to start class.
Seeing that all the students in front, left and behind were running quickly, Zhang Yue was also keeping up. This time he went to class not long after he had eaten. This was the first time he had seen such a tense study life.
There are more than a hundred people in Jingshengzhai, which can only be barely accommodated in the main hall.
As for the more than 200 people in Jinshizhai, they have to stand in the courtyard.
All the students in the hall were sitting on their knees on the floor.
And Xue Xue from the county school was slowly walking onto the podium, and beside him was Assistant Professor Sun from the state school.
Xue is the title, and the official position in the court still calls him professor.
Xue Zheng glanced at the audience majestically and then began to speak.
Dan Jianxue Zhengyan said: "A hundred rivers can learn from the sea and become the sea; the hills can learn from the mountains but not become the mountains. Why? Diligence..."
Zhang Yue listened to Xuezheng's first sentence and quoted a famous sentence from Yang Xiong's "Fayan". The meaning of this sentence is that rivers are like the sea, flowing endlessly and finally reaching the sea, and hills are like mountains and are motionless, but they can never be higher than mountains.
.
Why is this?
Because the ancients did not know what crustal movement and inland rivers were.
Of course, the meaning of learning rightly is to study diligently. If you study hard day and night like a river, you will eventually achieve what you want. If you stay motionless like a mountain, you will never make any progress.
Guo Lin and all the classics students listened with rapt attention and were moved. This was probably the first lecture for the county school’s entrance.
This reminded Zhang Yue of the content of the principal’s lecture on the radio when the school started in the past. At that time, he drank the bowl of chicken soup with gusto, but for some reason, when he thought about it so many years later, he could never forget the touching feeling.
Apparently Qian Qiming, Wu Rang and others also fell into such beauty, and Guo Lin regarded Fan Zhongyan as a role model.
Then Xue Zheng emphasizes clothing. Needless to say, short bald turbans, for example, are definitely not allowed.
As for tying up their hair, many scholars tie their hair in buns casually. Some buns hang naturally, even half-tied, or even half-down. This is strictly prohibited in county schools.
As for those who are not tied at all, they are bald and need to be locked up according to the school regulations.
Zhang Yue whispered to Guo Lin: "Brother, I can't tie my hair well. If you need help in the future, I will do it."
"good."
“Silence!” But the chief of the restaurant looked over and glared at Zhang Yue and Guo Lin.
Zhang Yue felt heartbroken. Is the money going to be deducted?
Dan Jianxue Zheng said again: "The county school has private examinations every month and public examinations every year. I take the private examinations of Shizhai and test nine classics each."
"If you pass six of the ten questions, you will be considered qualified, and those who fail will be dismissed. You can choose one or several classics to take the test every month. If you pass more than one, you will be considered as a higher or lower class and will be exempted from fasting and money. Those who are excellent will be admitted to the county school for life."
Those who are given rice and who excel in the annual examination can apply to the state school and go to the Imperial College to take the examination!"
Hearing these words, Zhang Yue suddenly became more motivated to study. I could have said these words earlier! As for "a hundred rivers learn from the sea and become the sea, the hills learn from the mountains but not become the mountains" is completely useless to me.
Before everyone in the hall dispersed, Xue Zheng called out the names of a few people, and among them was Zhang Yue.
After Xuezheng explained to several people, he smiled at Zhang Yue and said, "I have heard about your brother Zhong's affairs. It's a pity! But it doesn't matter. I obtained your paper in front of you, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, "You sounded as if my second brother had abandoned Jinshi and wanted to kick me out of the county school."
“You must try the Nine Classics in the future!”
Zhang Yue said: "Returning to learn righteousness, that's exactly what it is."
"Have ambition! You are only thirteen years old and have already mastered the Five Classics. You can even go to the prodigy department. However, in recent years, the prodigy department has declined. I will not recommend you to pursue this path. You must rely on your own talents to learn and understand.
Try the provinces, try the palace, try to get through every level."
“Thank you for your encouragement.”
Xue Zhengdao: "I hope you can master the Nine Classics within one year. In this way, I can guarantee you the benefit of giving rice to you for life, and in addition, you can serve as a scholar of classics!"
“I dare to ask Xuezheng, what is the study of classics?”
Xuezheng smiled gently and said: "I don't spend much time studying, but I am a leader in the classics. I teach classics to my classmates and explain their doubts!"
Zhang Yue said: "How can students learn from Zhengtai's promotion?"
Xuezheng said with a smile: "Don't be humble. Your brother Zhong entered the county school at the age of twelve and became the head of the Jinshi School at the age of fifteen. He taught all the students on behalf of Xuezheng. His academic articles are all admired by his classmates. And you
If you enter the county school at the age of thirteen, it should not be difficult to master the first and second classics! Don't let me down!"
