Lin Yanchao has read an article "Science Examination" written by Wang Shizhen, the president of the township test, which says that the township test "Four Books" is righteous and three, each with more than 200 words; There are four scriptures, each with more than 300 words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIf you can't, you can subtract one each.

Although it is allowed to reduce one each, but each one is reduced, which means that the hope of winning the lift is very small. Therefore, in any case, candidates should answer all seven questions before the candles burn out in the evening.

Therefore, scholars who are interested in careers have practiced how to answer questions quickly since they were young, such as Lin Yanchao has done countless such exercises in the academy.

Soon the cloud board was knocked and the exam began, and all the examination rooms were locked from the moment the scholar entered the examination room. Then the scribe took the encapsulated test paper and threw it through the small window in front of the door.

Lin Yanchao opened the volume and read the question at the moment.

The first three questions and four book questions, and the last four questions of the Five Classics, follow the convention of the first field of the imperial examination and the first question. The first three questions and four books are the most important, which is related to whether you are admitted or not, and the last four questions and five scripture questions are secondary, which is related to the ranking of scholars. There are five classics in the township examination, and the examiner marks the papers, and the room is also assigned according to the five classics.

In the examination room not far from Lin Yanchao's examination room, Liu Tinglan, who was known as Wei Yunzhong and Gu Xiancheng in history, took the paper and did not read the questions of the four books first, but read the questions of the Five Classics first.

After reading it, Liu Tinglan said confidently: "Xie Yuan has to be sold!" ”

In the examination room of Xuanzihao, Yang Daobin read the questions of the four books, and said to himself: "President Wanggong, abide by the ancient law, I should be a penny, and I can't go beyond the rules." ”

In the examination room of the Xuanzi number, Weng Zhengchun was also writing in Yunmo, and said to himself: "The prince has words, the text must be Qin and Han, the two Han articles are not similar to Sima Xiang, Yang Xiong and the two, and Brother Zonghai in the past used to imitate the text of Jiangnan Fu. Bo learned the appreciation of the government and won the first place in the government examination, which is worth learning from me. Then I'll try to imitate Han Fu to write these seven articles. ”

In addition to these three people, the rest of the candidates also have their own ideas, and they may be happy when the scholars in the examination rooms read the papers. or worried, or frowning, with different expressions.

Outside, the sound of rain fills the ears, and the charcoal fire in the room explodes.

Lin Yanchao opened the test paper, and the first question of the four books: Zi said, advanced in Lile, savages, backward in Lile, and gentlemen. As it is. Then I will be advanced.

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the commoners who lived outside the city were called savages, those who lived outside the city were called the countrymen, and those who lived inside the city were called nobles and gentlemen.

Mencius has clouds, no gentleman Mo Zhi savage, no savage Mo raises a gentleman.

This sentence means: Confucius said that those who first learned etiquette and music came out as officials. For civilians, first officials and then learn etiquette and music, for gentlemen. If the country wants to use talents, then I will use people who have learned etiquette and music before coming out as officials.

In this sentence, Confucius believed that the common people who were learned and excelled in politics, if they were in government, were better than those hereditary nobles who were born with a golden key.

From the two Han Dynasty's inspection system. As for the imperial examination system, history has proved the vision of Sage Confucius, so this question is also a big question often passed in the academy.

The candidates are no strangers at all, and if they want to finish the exam, their level will not be too different.

Not a lot of time. didn't have time to think deeply, after having a general direction in his brain, Lin Yanchao wrote with a pen. At this moment, I am putting all of what I have learned on a daily basis into practice.

Lin Yanchao remembered that later generations of famous scholars studied Wang Shizhen, saying that in the middle and late periods, he no longer blindly admired Han Fu in his articles, but also had the advantage of Tang and Song articles, especially Su Shi's articles, and he once said to himself, 'Yu Tang is good Bai Juyi, Yu Song is good Su Shi'.

It just so happens that his scripture teacher Lin Yan likes Su Shi the most in his life, and under his subtle influence, Lin Yanchao's literary style has always been very close to the Tang and Song factions.

Different from the articles of the retro school, the Tang and Song schools are written in order, and the best state of these articles lies in the description but not the action, which is described in one sentence, without intentionally touching, but the joy and misery are overflowing with words. This truth is just like what Lin Yanchao taught Hou Zhongshu and Huang Biyou when they wrote articles.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao decided to write an essay in his true colors, and at the same time thought to himself, because of Wang Shizhen, most of the candidates in the examination room who were interested in the ranking were imitating the style of the quasi-ancient school, and I am afraid that he was the only one who was unique.

I don't dare to guarantee that if you are unique, you will definitely be able to win, but it is useless to think about it now. How to write the article, Lin Yanchao quickly finished the first one.

The last two four-book questions are also big questions, this is the township test, and when there is no children's test, there are many opportunities to cut off the questions. The big question is a test of a reader's skills on weekdays. Therefore, although the first three questions are the most important, for first-class scholars, the gap between them will not be too big.

Three questions and four book questions, written in one morning. When it was noon, Lin Yanchao remembered that he hadn't been relieved for almost five or six hours after entering the examination room. No way, because I am young, my kidneys are so good.

After writing the three questions, Lin Yanchao asked the officers and soldiers for cards, went to the thatched house, and looked at the stinky numbers left and right in the thatched house.

Back in the examination room, Lin Yanchao took a mille-feuille cake to eat, and took out the wrapped ginseng slices and soaked them in water, drinking them to refresh himself. One morning exam, living in a small exam room, saying that I am not tired, is fake.

Next, Lin Yanchao began to write the Five Classics questions.

Among the Five Classics, Lin Yanchao chose the title of the scripture to compose.

The first question, the father of the Qi is weak, if the farmer father is protected, the macro father is determined.

This is taken from the article "Wine Letter", which is a decree issued by the government to the people. This is Zhou Gongqiang's article on abstaining from alcohol. In the text, Qifu refers to Sima, the farmer father is Situ, and Hong's father is Sikong.

Lin Yanchao even wrote such articles in ancient texts, and writing such articles was as simple as drinking water and eating.

As soon as he looked at the topic, Lin Yanchao had several ideas in his mind, and as for writing it, it was even more exciting, and he couldn't stop at all. An article is written without adding points, which can be described as a complete in one go.

Drying the ink, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, thinking that it would be good if the Five Classics questions were placed in the first three questions.

At the beginning, even Mr. Wangzhai admitted that he had the skills of governing Shangshu, but he was not as good as himself, Lin Yanchao didn't believe it, which candidate in the examination room had better skills than himself.

The ranking of the Five Classics is determined, and you either do not win the promotion, or you have to be selected, and the Pentateuch Leader is eight or nine times out of ten.

Lin Yanchao thought about the following three Five Classics questions, and they were also completed in one go, and it took less than two hours to write the four questions.

Lin Yanchao looked around, but saw that the candidates were still immersed in writing, and he had already finished writing in advance, it seemed that the half pot of charcoal left behind was not used, but it was better not to waste it, and it was lit immediately, as for the candles, they could not be used, but they could also be taken home.

After Lin Yanchao transcribed all the seven articles to the main volume, he immediately slapped the door and shouted to the officers and soldiers outside: "Submit the paper!" (To be continued.) )
