Chapter 191: Scientific Examination
With a splash of ink, time slipped away quietly at the tip of the pen, and October 20 came unconsciously.
Early in the morning of this day, Yingtianbei City carved out a large area, all business was stopped, and a large row of covered tents rose from the ground, covering the upper and lower left and right, which was firm and strong, and could block the wind and rain. There are wooden walls all around, and only the most empty side is so that the examiner can see the candidates.
Zhu Ping'an was wearing a Confucian scarf, a cyan robe with a pen and ink inkstone, and a water cup made of wide bamboo.
The fat man also went to their Fengyang Mansion team just now to wait in line for admission, and although he had successfully given the gift, he was still a little nervous and apprehensive.
In the ridicule of the students, some officials carried a few baskets of cakes and side dishes into the tent, these were Zhu Ping'an's meals during their scientific expedition, which was frugal enough.
Zhao Wenhua, the official of the school, and several officials sat on a high platform in the northernmost part of the tent in their official uniforms, with brilliant lights in front of them, as well as tea, seasonal vegetables and fruits. Zhu Ping'an couldn't see what this famous traitor in history looked like from a distance, and he gave up after looking at it twice, it was too far away to see clearly.
There are more than 20 sergeants with sabers outside scattered in the west of the shed, standing with swords on their shoulders, and more than ten officials standing at the door to check the students who have entered.
According to the regulations, Zhu Ping'an and all the students untied their robes to reveal their underwear, holding pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and jug in one hand and socks in the other, waiting for the two officials to search. Zhu Ping'an was in front, and after the search of the five brothers in front of him, it was his turn, to be honest, he was still a little panicked when he was touched by the two big men.
After passing smoothly, Zhu Ping'an put on socks and shoes and entered the tent. There is an instructor inside to check Zhu Ping'an's identity. After the verification was completed, a servant led Zhu Ping'an to his seat.
The seats are very simple, a table and a chair, and there is nothing else. All candidates are seated facing south. With his back to the Examiner, the distance between the two tables was about four feet.
There is a corridor in front of the seat, and there are two large drowning buckets on both sides of the corridor, fortunately far away from Zhu Ping'an.
Almost all the students were ugly and sent out the papers, and the officials handed out the test papers to the students present one by one. The test paper is sewn with the seal bell of the probationary officer, and the serial number is also sewn. The test paper in Zhu Ping'an's hand has a serial number of No. 7, which was written by the student officer at will, and there is a blank under the serial number, which is reserved for writing the name.
According to the announcement a few days ago, Zhu Ping'an wrote his name and personal information below: Zhu Ping'an, a student in Huaining County, is 13 years old and has not passed the imperial examination.
The name is written in the scientific examination. This is an important difference from the children's test, the township test, etc., there is a name, which will inevitably be a little obscure. However, this kind of thing generally doesn't dare, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not vegetarians, and even if there are, they will definitely be limited to the smallest range, and the school officials also want their heads, if all the places are done like this, it will cause the students to be angry, and provoke the factory guards or stab them to the imperial history or the emperor. Get into a jam.
After the drums sounded three times, there were officials who carried signs with the title written on them to patrol the field, and several officials read the title aloud to ensure that those with bad eyes and poor hearing could know the title.
There are only two questions. A topic of eight strands, a topic of policy discussion. Zhu Ping'an copied the two questions neatly on the straw paper for the first time.
I have to say that although Zhao Wenhua's character is very poor, his cultivation is still quite high, and the government chronicles he wrote have been included in the Siku Quanshu. As far as these two questions are concerned, there is still a high level.
The title of the eight-strand essay is like this: Zi Wei Yan Yuan said: "If you use it, you will do it, and if you give it up, you will hide it." But I am a husband with you.
This is a four-book essay topic, and the topic is not a difficult topic, but a very decent topic. However, it is also difficult to write this eight-strand essay well. This title comes from the original text of the Four Books, and it was written by Confucius and his disciple Yan Hui to discuss the two life choices of ancient scholars. However, it is not easy to write well.
This sentence is basically Confucius bragging and praising Yan Hui by the way, and the specific meaning is like this.
Confucius said to Yan Yuan: If there is someone who can appoint me, I will promote the road of governing the country and leveling the world in the world; When you can't appoint me, you will hide these avenues of governing the country and the world. Only me and you can do that.
In the eight-strand text, the title is the definition of the content of the article. The whole text can only be expanded on the topic, and the scope cannot be expanded or narrowed at will, as if digging a well should be as thick as it should be from the wellhead to the bottom of the well. This question can only discuss these issues of "using the house to hide" Confucius Yan Hui and Confucius to Yan Shuo.
Therefore, if you want to stand out among these thousands of people, it is not easy to write this eight-share article.
Compared with some of the champions and eight-strand texts he had seen in his previous life, coupled with his own understanding, after thinking for a while, Zhu Ping'an hooked the corners of his mouth, and wrote the first sentence with a confident pen:
"It is advisable for the saint to hide, and for those who are able to begin to reveal it."
This first sentence is called breaking the topic in the eight-strand article, this is the most important part of an eight-strand article, whether the article is well written or not, whether the score is high or not, the focus depends on this sentence. The requirement to solve the question should not be repeated with the question, but it should summarize the meaning of the question
Zhu Ping'an is very satisfied with his own problem, based on this sentence alone, his scientific examination is almost like a bag of things.
"Sage" refers to Confucius, and "Neng" refers to Yan Hui. "It is advisable to go to Tibet" refers to the right "line to hide". The word "micro-show" not only reflects the teacher-student relationship between Kong Yan, but also highlights Yan Hui's understanding, and the drum does not need to be beaten with a hammer. Zhu Ping'an was very satisfied with this problem.
After writing the problem, Zhu Ping'an dipped the brush in the inkstone, and then continued to write the topic and talk about Tibi bundle strands.
"It is not easy to cover the saint's line of hiding, and it is not easy to regulate it, and it can be said from a few faces."
Therefore, it is specially said: lifelong experience, only one or two ways to listen to others, and seek to be not exhaustive, often and rare. It is possible to be confident, but to be alone and have nothing to do, and to be alone and have nothing to say. This means that the song of its trust is self-adaptable, and I am fortunate to have a language now. ”
"There is a husband, but I am with Eryefu, and when the time comes, I can also understand it silently."
Zhu Ping'an's eight-strand essay can almost be described as a spring of literary thoughts, and the pen is like flowing water.
When I finished writing this eight-strand essay, there were still candidates nearby who had not yet started writing.
At this time, there was a raging thirst, but Zhu Ping'an still endured it and did not drink water. Some days ago, I heard some students talk about drinking water in the scientific expedition, and they must not drink water during the scientific examination, although there are also tea officials in the scientific examination room, but they must not drink it, and they cannot drink water no matter how thirsty they are. If you drink water, it will be recorded by the examiner on the high platform, and even if it is not treated as cheating, it will lower your test paper by a notch, no matter how well you write.
Therefore, despite being thirsty at this time, Zhu Ping'an just licked his lips with the tip of his tongue and endured it. Bear with me, it's not too late to take a break and drink water during meal time. You can't try to bury your own imperial examination road as soon as possible. (To be continued 88 reading()
