It was already noon after all the fussing, and Lin Jue took out the sugar cakes prepared by Lu Wu. Although the sugar cakes had been cut into pieces, the taste was still the same. After baking and heating on the stove, he ate a few pieces with tea.
His stomach was full. At this time, Lin Jue packed up and started assembling the tables and chairs for answering questions.
Because the dormitory is extremely narrow, there are no tables, chairs, benches, or beds prepared inside. There are only a few long and short wooden boards. Candidates need to set up desks, benches, and beds by themselves. Because the space is small, these wooden boards must be used as desks and beds during the day.
The sitting board is dismantled at night and used as a bed to sleep on with the bedding provided.
The specific method is to select wooden boards of appropriate length and embed them in the walls on both sides according to the grooves specially left between the bricks on both sides of the wall. There are two floors, one for desks and one for sitting boards, and special
There is a place for placing oil lamps or candlesticks. When sleeping at night, wooden boards are placed on the grooves a few feet above the ground as rungs, and then long wooden boards are placed on the rungs, and a bedding is put on them to become a sleeping bed.
.I don’t know whose ingenuity used such a method in this small space to maximize the use of the space in this small dormitory.
It is not too difficult for Lin Jue to write the ink meanings of the scriptures. It is nothing more than filling in the blanks silently from memory. The ink meanings need to be read and understood to answer the questions, which is not difficult. As long as you read and memorize it well, don't think too much.
Extreme and alternative, basically these questions will not be a roadblock. Moreover, Tie Jing Mo Yi Ben does not account for a large proportion in the exam. Unless there are too outrageous mistakes, it will not have a decisive impact on the final exam results.
Lin Juezhi completed the ten Tie Jing and twenty-five Mo Yi questions in one hour. After carefully checking the writing format and the rules for answering the questions, the first exam was over. Obviously, for
For most candidates, the first day of the exam was relatively easy. Many people had finished answering the questions and began to boil water, make tea, and eat dry food. At this moment, there was some noise and excitement in the dormitory.
angry.
But this relaxation only lasted until the end of Shenshi. When it was getting late and all the dormitories were lit with lights, questions on poetry, poetry, poetry, and policy theory began to be handed out. This was originally the content of the exam in the next two days, but because of the large amount of questions and the need
For the sake of careful consideration, the test questions are given on the evening of the first day, so that the candidates can think about it carefully the night before. This is quite humane.
As expected, the topic on poetry, poetry, and essays was a completely new topic, completely unrelated to the exam questions in the previous life. Lin Jue was also mentally prepared for this.
Looking at the title again, the poem must be in seven rhymes and must follow the prescribed rhymes. The lyrics are based on "Qing Ping Le", "Die Lian Hua", "Qin Yuan Chun", "Bodhisattva Man", "Xijiang Moon", "Ru"
"Meng Ling", "Recalling Qin'e", "Nian Nujiao", choose any one of the eight types of words, each of which has a specified rhyme. This is already very difficult.
You must know that rhyme is actually very complicated. Especially in today's Zhou Dynasty, special emphasis is placed on the rhyme of poetry, almost to the point of being picky. Although literati usually write poems and lyrics a little loosely, as long as they basically follow the rhyme, it will not matter.
People are picky. But in the imperial examination, they are meticulous and need to strictly follow the rhythm.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like people on earth learning English in future generations. When talking in daily life, naturally there is no need to pay too much attention to the use of grammatical words. But if it is in an exam, the use of grammar is required.
The differences in tone and degree in the meaning of the same word, the distinction between spoken and written language, and other details must be strictly stipulated. Otherwise, you will not be able to score points.
The rhyme and rhyme regulations in the literary system of the Great Zhou Dynasty are so complicated that it can be said to be a headache. Some people have summarized the classification alone and divided it into thirteen categories. What are Fahua Zhe, Gusu Zhe, Suobo Zhe, Jiang
Yangzhe, Huailaizhe, etc. To put it bluntly, every sentence of poems, poems and other rhymes must end with the same word to achieve the effect of rhyming and rhythm. Writing poetry is a difficult task.
, as a result, it is even more difficult because it must be limited to fixed rhymes.
A short poem seems to be the easiest thing to write, but once various rules are applied, it is a very difficult thing. The word card itself limits the length and level of the words, plus the fixed
The rhyme is like putting chains on a person's whole body and then asking her to dance. Because of this, the Zhou Dynasty paid so much attention to poetry, precisely because in these short sentences, you can
The form shows a person's literary quality and talent. If the content is more amazing, then the person will be highly respected. This is also the case for many celebrities in the Zhou Dynasty. Sometimes they can become famous all over the world with just one poem.
one of the reasons.
If poems and poems test literary literacy and talent, then policy essays test the candidates’ insights. Although policy essays do not need to pay attention to rhyme, candidates are required to say something meaningful, discuss the truth, support their opinions, and express their opinions.
Human Thoughts. In short, it is to express opinions on historical events or current court policies. It does not necessarily have to be a positive evaluation. The key is to be reasonable and convincing. This is a test for students who will become officials in the future.
To put it bluntly, the ability to think when an official is in charge of government cannot only be a scholar but not have the ability to do things, and it cannot be a person with high scores and low ability.
In the Qiu Wei Examination, there will be no policy questions about current government affairs. After all, this is a qualification examination, and these people may not be able to eventually become officials. Moreover, the number of candidates is huge and the candidates are mixed, so there is no guarantee that some foolish young people will write about current affairs.
There are some words that shock the secular world and are treacherous. Therefore, the policy and discussion topics of the Qiuwei Examination are all about historical events, allowing candidates to comment. This is the so-called learning from the past to learn from the present.
The topic of the test question in Lin Jue's hand at this moment is: "The law has no fault in the past, and following the rituals has no evil. Is it true or false?"
If you are not a real scholar, you will be dumbfounded just by seeing this title. Since they don’t know the origin and allusion of this sentence, they naturally have no way of knowing the background. If they are asked to discuss "Yes, Yes, No Yes", I am afraid that they will have no choice but to
I just talked nonsense and had no idea what I was talking about.
It can be seen from this that the previous examination of the classics and its meanings is just an appetizer. The subsequent examination of poetry, poetry and even policy essays is the real test of literary talent and knowledge, and the real test.
When he saw this title, Lin Jueshen was a little surprised. The phrase "the law is as ancient as ever, and the rituals are without evil" comes from the biographies of Shang Jun in the Historical Records. Shang Jun was Shang Yang, who implemented reforms in the Qin Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
, the greatest contributor to the Qin State’s final unification of the Central Plains and the establishment of China’s first unified empire. This sentence is actually what Qin’s aristocrats Qianlong and Du Zhi said against the reform at the beginning of Shang Yang’s reform, which meant to follow suit
There is no fault in following ancient etiquette. Shang Yang refuted this statement, and finally eliminated the pressure to carry out reforms, making Qin finally strong.
After understanding the origin of this sentence, the purpose of this question can be clearly understood. Obviously, this policy requires candidates to analyze this sentence. In fact, it is a kind of thinking and discussion about social change, whether it is
Yes, everyone must have their own opinions and support them. This is the apparent purpose of this question.
But Lin Jue was surprised for two reasons. First, Lin Jue had seen similar policy articles. When helping Fang Dunru organize the manuscript, Lin Jue read Fang Dunru's expressions about various changes in history more than once.
This article made Lin Jue feel that Fang Dunru was most concerned about the disadvantages of reforming the imperial court. Before the Qiu Wei Examination, in order to train his ability to write policy articles, Fang Dunru also recommended this article intentionally or unintentionally.
This kind of article was for him to read. This made Lin Jue feel that Fang Dunru had already guessed the direction of the imperial policy proposition, so he did this.
Another reason that surprised Lin Jue came from the first reason. When Yan Zhengsheng was talking to him that day, he left Lin Jue with a foggy topic. The inner and outer meanings of Yan Zhengsheng's words hinted at him.
This transfer to the capital will have a certain mission. However, Yan Zhengshen did not explain it clearly. But since Fang Dunru knows the direction of the test questions, and the purpose of this policy discussion is very clear, can this prove that this is actually a
A kind of wind direction. All kinds of clues were connected, and it gave Lin Jue the feeling that a wind of change seemed to be rising in the DPRK. Perhaps this was the mission that Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru were about to shoulder after they were transferred to the capital.
Lin Jue didn't know whether his association was right or wrong, but he always believed in his intuition. All the signs, taken together, actually gave Lin Jue an extremely clear signal. The reason why Fang Dunru was willing to return to the court was actually the same.
Therefore, it is easy to solve. If his political ambitions cannot be realized, Fang Dunru is even willing to live in seclusion in Songshan Academy for twenty years. What is the reason that makes him willing to come out? It must be that there is a possibility of realizing his political ambitions. And Fang Dunru and the serious politics
The ambitions are obviously different from those of those who are now in power. Many of the current policies of the imperial court were officially criticized by Fang Dunru in many articles. How can we realize what Fang Dunru wants? There is only one way: change.
Thinking of this, Lin Jue couldn't help but feel worried. Lin Jue understood what it would mean if he really wanted to change the government. Change is by no means a smooth thing. From ancient times to the present, countless changes have been recorded in history books, among which
It has been accompanied by many bloody storms. To put it bluntly, change is to break the old order and establish a new order, and this will affect the interests of many people and lead to criticism from many people. Once interests are related, it is actually a matter of life.
Change means turmoil, change means fights and bloodshed, and these are things that will almost certainly go hand in hand.
But not long after, Lin Jue burst out laughing. He just made a guess, and now he is worried about this idea. This is simply unfounded worry. Maybe his guess is wrong, or maybe something will really happen,
It may also be a mild improvement. In short, these things have nothing to do with me, and I don't know what I am thinking about. What I should be worried about now is actually how to write a few poems and essays for the autumn exam.
That's right, but it's really too much to worry about.
