Chapter 22: The edge of the sword is sharpened

Learn and learn, there are bandit gentlemen?

When Lin Haoran saw the title, he took a deep breath, then slightly closed his eyes, and quickly searched in his mind, looking for the corresponding title among the hundreds of articles.

Isn't it fun to learn and learn? - Not this!

There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding? - Not this!

……

How so?

Lin Haoran searched his mind carefully, and as a result, articles flashed through his head, but none of them could match the number. As time passed, his back was wet with sweat, and the temples on his forehead were pounding.

This undoubtedly gave the gang yesterday's guess, the county Zun really came up with a truncation question, and the former owner of his body seemed to be a complete nerd, helpless against the truncation question that needed to be changed.

Calm down! Calm down!

Lin Haoran clenched his fists tightly, his lowered face was a little hideous, forcing himself not to think nonsense. Previous experiences have taught him to stay calm when encountering things.

One, two, three......

No! No! Or not! ……

Lin Haoran clenched his fists tightly, and his slightly pointed fingers pierced into his palms, but he finally let go, and Yang Tianchang exhaled a long breath of turbidity, knowing that this time it was planted.

Although he has hundreds of splendid articles in his mind, none of them can match this topic, and this truncated question is really his weakness, and one blow is fatal!

This naïve can play with people, and he will give you whatever he is afraid of!

At this time, he naturally knew that this was the legendary truncation question. The first half of the sentence is from the Analects, which means that the knowledge learned should be constantly put into practice. The second half of the sentence is from "University", and "there are bandit gentlemen" means a gentleman with literary talents.

The meaning of the whole sentence is: as long as you continue to put the knowledge you have learned into practice, you will become a gentleman with literary talents.

But...... And then what?

Lin Haoran could only smile bitterly, although he had been in contact with a lot of ancient books and practiced beautiful handwriting, but if he wanted to write an eight-strand essay seriously, it would definitely be a fantasy.

Is it true that you want to kill me?

Lin Haoran looked up at the sky, his eyes groomed with tears. This is not for him, but for his sister Tiger Girl, he is unwilling to let the Tiger Girl end up with the fate of being a girl.

Ha ha......

He's finished!

I see how you pretend!

Zheng Guozhi was not in a hurry to answer the test paper, he kept staring at Lin Haoran's movements, watching him not hold a pen for a long time, he knew that this question really hit the weakness of this nerd, and his heart immediately felt like drinking honey.

Learn and learn, there are bandit gentlemen?

What's so difficult about this, isn't it just about emphasizing the need to put what you've learned into practice over time?

Sure enough, it's an elm head!

The corners of Zheng Guozhi's mouth curled slightly, and he picked up the pen and wrote on the draft, and started the article very smoothly.

In the morning, the sky is as blue as a light blue crystal.

The topics have been announced one after another, and the next four book questions and five scripture questions are all decent, very traditional methods of questioning, it seems that this Xiao Zhixian knows how to handle the square inch.

Wait a minute...... Learn and learn, there are bandit gentlemen?

Lin Haoran, who was scratching his ears and cheeks to study the first four-book question, recited it silently again, as if a lightning bolt flashed from his mind, and immediately raised his head, remembering that this was the famous truncation question in later generations.

At that time, he was still chasing the beautiful female graduate student who was reading literature and history, so he deliberately read it, intending to find some common topics with the woman. Although he can't remember the content of the article, he wrote down some extremely important things.

Baguwen is a style of writing for the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, which originated from a recommended format for argumentative essays. Specifically, it means that the article has eight parts, and the style requires a fixed format: breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, starting, starting shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundle shares.

For the content of the article, Baguwen requires that the words must be in the tone of the ancients, the title is mainly from the four books, and the content of the discussion must also be based on the "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" written by the Song Dynasty scholar Zhu Xi, which is absolutely not allowed to be played freely, and the number of words is also limited.

Take solving the problem as an example, that is, you need to analyze the essence of the topic and say what you are going to talk about in this article.

Baguwen stipulates that you can only use two sentences to solve the problem, these two sentences are mainly to summarize the meaning of the topic and explain the meaning of the topic, but you can't say the meaning of the topic directly. All in all, a good solution is one that is both thorough and general.

For example: when money stands up and speaks, all truth is silent. - There is no direct point that money is greater than the truth.

Topic: "Learn and learn, there are bandit gentlemen!" ”

The first half of the sentence is from the Analects, which means that the knowledge learned should be constantly put into practice. The second half of the sentence is from "University", and "there are bandit gentlemen" means a gentleman with literary talents.

The title ostensibly says: "As long as you continue to put into practice what you have learned, you will become a gentleman with literary talents." It's just that this is actually a small trap, relying on "learning and learning from time to time", and in this era, it cannot support the conclusion of becoming a "bandit gentleman".

Just like your homeroom teacher often said, "Only students who are not naughty and mischievous can be admitted to the ideal university in the future", it is clear that this argument does not stand up to scrutiny. If you want to be admitted to the ideal university, you have to study diligently.

Now the focus of this question is "there are bandit gentlemen", the original text in the "Book of Songs" is "there are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting, such as grinding", which means that if you want to be a gentleman with literary talents, it is like carving jade, after cutting, you have to learn to level, and after carving, you have to polish.

Therefore, the focus of this topic should not be on "learning and learning", but should still be "such as cutting, such as learning, such as pondering, such as grinding". The form of the question has changed, but the core has not changed, which examines the student's ability to think and discern.

Therefore, this topic can become: there are bandits and gentlemen, such as cutting, such as learning, such as grinding.

Search!

There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. - Matched successfully!

Call!

Maybe it was because he was sweating too much just now, Lin Haoran actually felt a little cold, and in the morning he didn't eat breakfast because he was nervous, and his stomach still looked hungry. Now that he has a clear idea of the question and the answers are imprinted in his mind, he doesn't need to rush to write.

After placing the straw paper on top of the test paper and pressing it down again, he lifted the food box under the table, took out a piece of cooked meat and rice balls with his hands, and ate it with relish.

The rice balls are cooked in broth, so they have some broth flavor, and although the cooked meat is already cold, it has a different flavor when you grab it in your hand and bite it at will.

Eating these foods, his hunger slowly subsided, and his body gradually warmed up. It's just that his actions fell in the eyes of others, but he became a model of self-abandonment.

This thing has given up on treatment!

Nerds read dead books, and they are helpless when they encounter a cut-off topic!

Isn't this the straw bale that "outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road"? Sure enough, you don't know how to learn!

……

Whether it was the students who had seen Lin Haoran compose poetry on the second floor of the Fugui Restaurant before, or the group of people from Qingshan Academy, they had already decided that Lin Haoran had given up the exam.

After eating cooked meat and rice balls, choosing the pastries made for him by Nie Yunzhu, and finally drinking two more sips of water, Lin Haoran burped, and as a result, he caused a bunch of white eyes, and seemed to despise this nerd who gave up treatment.

It's just that after eating, Lin Haoran yawned again and again, he didn't sleep much last night, and his eyelids were about to be unable to open at this time. Thinking that there was a day to take the exam, he moved the draft and the test paper aside, climbed on the table and fell asleep.

This...... It's hopeless!

The surrounding candidates couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw Lin Haoran crawling on the table and falling asleep, feeling that there were too few talented people as smart as themselves in the world, and more of them were such stupid people.

There are sympathizers, there are pitiful people, there are ridiculers, and there are contempt......

Just half an hour later, Lin Haoran sat up, brought straw paper and test papers, and immediately splashed ink and began to do the first question: Learn and learn, there are bandit gentlemen.

Solving the problem, although it is only the first step of the eight-strand text, is actually the most important step. Whether it is broken well or not is actually directly related to the whole article, and a good problem is often a kind of wonder that can only be understood.

"The edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

Lin Haoran held the placket of his clothes, splashed ink, and wrote these two sentences. This tells the path of becoming a "bandit gentleman" in this way, and it is relevant and straightforward, and I am afraid that everyone in the most critical literature will not be able to find the slightest fault.

When this sentence was completed, his body resonated slightly, as if a remnant soul was roaring.
