Chapter 102: Difficult to Ascend to the Sky
Thank you for your generous reward, thank you.
##
Although nothing has been accomplished in the past few days, Su Jin has really gained knowledge, and he has been inseparable from Li Chong for three days, and he has inquired about the imperial examination clearly.
Su Jin has always thought that the ancient imperial examination is to enter the examination room and write an eight-strand article, as long as the format is correct, the reason is correct, the words are elegant, the questions are accurate, and some small views that are unique and not shocking the world, you can get nine out of ten; But when Li Zhong told him all the subjects of the scientific examination, Su Jinxing's momentum suddenly dropped to the freezing point.
It's fucking hard, isn't it?
"The scientific examination of this dynasty is divided into six subjects, of course, it is mainly Jinshi, and the other five subjects such as the three rites, the three histories, the five classics, and the pedantic are called all subjects, not that the imperial court does not pay attention to them, but if the first person is in the Jinshi department, most of them are reused, and they can ascend to the sky in one step after the examination; The number of subjects is small but the degree of difficulty is not the same, so there are many applicants, and although it is difficult to hold important positions after the first, it is better than not being successful. ”
Li Chong's words made Su Jin dumbfounded, what kind of brain is confused in this department and that department, this still doesn't make people live? Are these guys in the Ministry of Rites idle and painful, why are they doing so many tricks when they have nothing to do?
Li Zhong patiently explained to Su Jin for a long time, and Su Jin understood what was going on.
In short, this is just like the college entrance examination in later generations, normal students are participating in the national unified college admissions examination after ten years, while some people are admitted to art schools, some are to be tested in sports colleges, and some are to be tested in military colleges and universities, etc., but compared with the Song Dynasty, the enrollment quota of these specialty colleges and universities is much more limited, far smaller than the enrollment ratio of normal candidates.
In the Song Dynasty, the candidates of the Jinshi subject were normal candidates, and the other subjects were the specialty candidates who studied a specialty, and the difference between the two was roughly this. What makes Su Jin even more strange is that the careers of the people who have been selected by the Jinshi Branch and the Zhuke are treated differently, which is too without human rights.
"What are the tests? Eight strands? Su Jin stubbornly continued to ask for advice.
"What is Baguwen? Is there such a style? Li Chong was a little confused by the new nouns that popped out of Su Jin's mouth, although new nouns often appeared in Su Jin's mouth, but Li Chong, who has always prided himself on being proficient in the genre of poetry, really didn't know what Baguwen was.
"You don't even know about Baguwen?" Su Jin opened his mouth wide, and his eyes were a little better, and he could see the pituitary gland in his throat clearly.
"Tell me, talk about it." Li Chong's interest came up, urging Su Jin to explain to him what Baguwen was.
"Baguwen is ......" Su Jin was about to explain, but suddenly shut up; Thinking about it, these eight civilizations only exist, and I can't talk to Li Chong.
"It's too long, next time I take the time to talk to Brother Li in detail, Brother Li will tell my younger brother what to take in the Jinshi Examination." Su Jin hurriedly pulled the topic back.
"Su Gongzi must not forget to take the time to explain, by the way! And the Newton and the apple you mentioned last time, what gravity is, you also have to explain it to me. Li Zhong said seriously.
"Definitely, definitely!" Su Jin was full of sweat, you have to be careful next time you talk to Li Chong, in case you accidentally pop up a new term, this person will definitely ask for advice without relenting, and it is just ordinary, if you miss any Goldbach conjecture, what Fermat's theorem and other terms, just explain these terms, don't do anything else in this life.
"The number of test and provincial test is different, the test is unified into three, and the provincial test is five or seven, as for the content, there is little difference, nothing more than a trial, a trial, a poem, a trial, a scripture, and a meaning."
Li Chong said lightly what Su Jin didn't understand at all, which made Su Jin fall into a fog again.
Li Chong looked at Su Jin's gradually pale face, and the beads of sweat on his forehead and asked with concern, "Su Gongzi is unwell?" ”
Su Jin smiled reluctantly and said, "It's okay, it's just that I'm panicking." ”
"Do you want to invite Lang Zhong? Don't be suffering from heat stroke, right? Li Zhong was extremely concerned and panicked to get up and call someone.
Su Jin hurriedly stopped him, took out a sweat towel and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, drank all the herbal tea on the table, and said with a sigh: "Please Brother Li explain to me in detail, how to try?" How to try the scripture and Moyi? ”
Li Zhong looked at him like a monster and said, "Master Su is joking, I don't know what you are going to take the test?" Don't tell me you really don't understand. ”
"I don't understand! Bullshit! Su Jin said honestly.
Li Zhong stumbled and almost didn't fall to his death; What kind of person is this, as a candidate for the exam, I don't understand the basic common sense, what to take the test? With this article alone, it is a question whether the quota for this test can be obtained, and even if it is obtained, it can only be a fool of itself when it enters the examination room.
"It's because I don't understand that I asked Brother Li, what else do I ask if I understand?" Su Jinwu argued hard to himself.
Li resettled his mind, picked up the herbal tea in front of him and didn't care about any etiquette, and poured a sigh of relief, suppressed the depression rising in his heart, and patiently explained: "The so-called trial strategy is to ask questions on political affairs, scriptures, etc. in the examination questions of the Ministry of Rites, so that the candidates can answer the written test, so as to judge the candidate's ability to deal with political affairs and related affairs. ”
Su Jin suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be a question and answer question. Understood, what is a trial theory? ”
Li Zhong rolled his eyes and continued: "As the name suggests, it is to discuss the arguments in the past dynasties or poetry books, expound one's own views, and state one's own understanding. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be an essay question, I see." Su Jin understood again.
"You don't need Brother Li to explain when you try poetry, isn't it just writing articles and poems? This is easy to understand, essay questions. Su Jin shook his head to himself, completely ignoring Li Chong's feelings.
Li Chong's originally swarthy face was purple and purple, and he finally calmed down and said, "Then there is no need to explain the meaning of the scripture below, right?" ”
"I don't understand this." Seeing that Li Chong was displeased, Su Jin restrained himself a little, and his tone became sincere.
Li Zhong sighed and said: "The test post scripture is the test topic of the subset of the previous scriptures, choose one or several sentences to cover both ends of it, open the only line in the middle, cut the paper for the post, cover the original text of several keywords, the number of words covered ranges from three words to six or seven words, and the test taker is required to complete the original text on the post paper." ”
"Fill in the blanks." Su Jin muttered.
Li Chong pretended not to hear it, and continued: "The test of Moyi is to take the ten or twenty ways of the main meaning of the scriptures, and require the test taker to explain the meaning of the text and explain the difficulties. ”
"Translation questions." Su Jinxin said. It turns out that the various types of questions that are hated by later generations were invented by the ancients, and the only multiple-choice question that makes people feel comfortable is not, which is quite depressing.
Li Zhong said earnestly: "Master Su, with your talent, you just need to calm down, you will be able to win, but everything is wasteful, although there are eight buckets of talent to squander at will and do not know their own pity, it is also in vain. ”
Su Jin could hear what Li Chong meant, and said, "Brother Li is right, I will definitely read his books for two months and strive to be a hit." ”
Li Zhong sneered: "Two months? How can it be done in two months? ”
Su Jin scratched his head and said, "Is it going to take two years?" ”
Li Zhong sighed: "Su Gongzi's heart is quite high, but you don't know the difficulty of the imperial examination, it is difficult to ascend to the sky, not to mention whether you are well-read and well-read, just the subset of the remarks of the sages in the past is like a sea of smoke, no one dares to say where the question came from, in case it can't be corrected by the original meaning, this exam will be done." ”
Su Jin's face changed, and he was stunned: "Isn't there a scope for the exam?" Isn't it said that there are four books and five classics? ”
Li Zhong looked at Su Jin's stunned face, and could only shake his head and sigh.
