Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

Chapter 188

Views:

Without waiting for the examinee to finish his vivid description of how An Qianhu was noble and inviolable, pretending to be the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister and the daughter-in-law of a certain prince who had never been there, to resist the rape of Japanese pirates, and provoked a group of Japanese pirates and traitors to fight for him and kill each other. The bells and drums of the fourth watch have already sounded.

Longmen began to let people go.

It was General Mingwei who was patrolling the field outside the gate, and Zhu Ji, the governor of Jinyiwei, who was also inspecting the school captains and warriors of Jinyiweizhong and the first two schools. Jin Yiwei's people always have a better attitude towards Jin Yiwei's fans. When they found the mover who was telling the story of An Qianhu loudly, the two warriors were lighter, and they didn't touch their arms as hard as others.

When they found Cui Xie, several sergeants looked at him familiarly, and took more care of him. They just patted along the clothes and told him not to carry them with him.

Cui Xie accepted his love, gathered up his clothes and lined up to enter the Longmen, handed in the exam ticket to the exam paper collector, and entered the hall with his own exam paper.

He was a candidate from Northern Zhili, and he entered the first batch in order. The examination room was also in the front, and the surrounding area was clean. The patrolling captains were also diligent in patrolling, and it was very convenient to ask for water and food.

He just finished the rural exam last year, and he is very familiar inside and out. He doesn't need to look at the environment. He just plugs in two boards, stands on the "table" and feels the roof, and hangs the tarpaulin on the door to temporarily block the cold. The officer bought a pot of hot water, poured it into the copper pot with a thick cotton sleeve, put it in his arms as a small heater, held the pot cross-legged, and warmed his hands and feet first.

At dawn, the commander in the inspection field, Master Tongzhi Gu, accompanied Tiao Tiao Yushi on the final tour of the field. The two test paper officers took the newly printed test paper and the ink was still dry, and called the inspector. The military academy was distributed to all the candidates.

This is the real talent show. If you pass the exam, you will be able to rise to the sky and become an official in the dynasty. Those who fail the exam will have to wait at least three years to work hard. The emotions of the nearly 4,000 candidates in the field were all suppressed and excited to the extreme. They took the test paper in such a sharp conflict, opened the paper tremblingly, and read the questions carefully.

The first session is still three questions of four books and four questions of five classics.

The order of the exam questions is arranged according to "The Great Learning", "The Analects", "The Doctrine of the Mean", and "Mencius". However, because the contents of "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" are too short, almost all the questions that can be put out are tested. In recent years, there are still many exams. From the works of the two sons of Confucius and Mencius. The chief examiner did not ask questions from the "University". The first question was the "Zi Zai Wenshao" section of "The Analects of Confucius", and the second question was "The Civil and Military Administration" of "The Doctrine of the Mean". The third question is "Mencius: Gaozi Shang", "The poem says that the people are born."

Although the titles of the Five Classics are all over the paper at first glance, the titles of each subject are almost written with the five subject titles of "Yi, Poetry, Book, Spring and Autumn, and Book of Rites", corresponding to which one can see the word "poetry" at a glance. The four topics listed are: the first topic is the entire chapter of "Zhou Nan·Lin Zhizhi", followed by two sentences from "Xiaoya·Shangshangzhehua", "My son, I have a chapter in it." "Fake music" in the sentence "I don't understand, the people are in the position", and "Song of Yin Wu" in "Song of Yin Wu", "Mandate of Heaven is multiplied, and the capital is set in the achievements of Yu. The events of the year come to open up" three sentences.

The Fifteen Kingdoms of the Book of Songs contains a lot of words and phrases that contain the private feelings of men and women, and very few titles are given from them, and most of the titles are from "Ya" and "Ode". Even in these two parts, there are many poems with meanings of sadness, resentment, mourning, sympathy, irony, and acupuncture. If they are listed as the title, the written article will easily deviate from the meaning of the saint. Therefore, there are very few questions in The Book of Songs, and the repetition rate is very high. Three of the four questions Cui Xie has done before, or he has done long questions with sentences in the title.

Only the "Fake Music" was the title of the whole poem when he practiced himself, and the focus of the composition was slightly different when he listed the two sentences "I don't understand it, the people are in the position" and when he used the whole poem as the title. It has to be completely overturned and reworked.

He pondered the problem, poured out a cup of still steaming hot ginger soup, then put the pot and cup beside him, polished the ink and spread the paper, took the paperweight and pressed the manuscript paper, and began to answer the first question—

The son was in Qi Wenshao, and in March he did not know the taste of meat. Said: "I don't want to be happy for Si."

The saying "I don't know the taste of meat in March" is really famous. Cui Xie knew before the time travel, and after the time travel, Mr. Lin often pointed to this sentence to teach them to study hard. He wrote the composition about this paragraph several times, almost all the tricks he wrote about it.

There is also this sentence in "Historical Records of the Family of Confucius", which is "talking to Qi Taishi, listening to Shaoyin, learning it, and not knowing the taste of meat in March", the word "learning" is added to the record in the Analects of Confucius. Zhu Zi's commentary also took this "learning", and it is only with these two words that the cause and effect can be better explained: after Confucius heard about Shaole in Qi, he was so determined to learn that he had no time to take care of the details of catering, so that he didn't know it in March. meaty.

No matter how much Confucius loved listening to music, he wouldn't be able to recall the Qi State Symphony for three months in his mind. He still kept 1G of pornographic films in his mind. Did it delay him from eating meat

And the phrase "it is not for the sake of happiness" is because Confucius realized the perfect emotion and rhythm in the music of Da Shun's "Shao", and unknowingly threw himself into the study of Shao music, and sincerely sighed at the beauty. This great eulogy.

When the sage hears the sacred music, he naturally has some feelings. He worships the merits of the former sage and the exquisite rhythm in the music, so he sincerely learns it. Then the secret agreement between the two saints is a must-have knowledge point.

And Confucius admired the former sage and devoted himself to the music of "Shao". What he did was "learn it". Only after "learning it" can you have "the taste of meat in three months"; Only then can we deeply understand the music of "Shao", which is in harmony with the sacred heart of Da Shun, and sighs that "it is not for the sake of pleasure".

Zhu Zizhong used the word "Xuezhi" to penetrate the original text, which is really the finishing touch. With these two words, the three sentences in the title can be called a chain of beads before and after, giving a realistic basis for "I don't know the taste of meat in March", lest it become an ethereal conjecture.

Therefore, the word "learning" is the thread that connects the topic, that is, the clear thread of this article he is going to write!

The two clues, one light and one dark, are set, and the bones of the article stand up. Just follow the three positive and negative arguments of the title, add flesh and blood, and correct the text. He has always liked to use the method of breaking the question, and it is dignified. This time, he didn't want to change his style, so he translated it word by word according to the original question - the most important word "learning" must be pointed out in the broken question!

"The sage lives in neighboring countries and listens to ancient music, and he learns for a long time..." but he does not know the taste of meat. Here it is precisely because of single-minded learning music that I do not know the taste of meat. The key is single-mindedness.

"Learn for a long time and specialize, and call it the most beautiful."

Under the problem, there is the problem. Inheriting the question should be the opposite of breaking the question, so we should start with the beauty of Shaole and write more forcefully. After all, many examiners only read the first few sentences when reading the article, and if the first few sentences are not attractive, they will not read down at all.

To praise it powerfully... That is: "Fugu Le Mo Mei Yu Shao Ye!"

Confucius could say, "It's not for the sake of pleasure." What could be more ruthless than this? He only compares ancient music to Shao, which is not comprehensive enough!

The production of art articles does not depend on letting go. Which literati of the Ming Dynasty can really take the sage's vision and mind

- Wang Yangming does not count.

Cui Xie let go of his heart, and after he finished playing Shao Le, he played Confucius again. He played Shao Le and praised Shao Le. From his praise, we can see the beauty of sacred music and the sincerity of the sage's pursuit of the first sage.

In the two paragraphs starting from the lecture and entering the title, I will briefly explain the background: "In the past, there was a music named Shao, which was made by Emperor Shun." After a thousand years, only the state of Qi still has Shao music, and Confucius heard about it in the state of Qi. And after hearing it, it is natural to learn it - if you learn it directly from hearing it, it seems a bit detached and incoherent. It just happened to point out the secret agreement between the two saints. Confucius wanted to learn from him because of his admiration for Dashun. Shao Le.

The first and second comparisons describe Confucius’ aspirations to Dashun, and he felt the style of three generations and the virtues of the former saints in the music; the third and fourth comparisons naturally turned to “learning” and studied the musical instruments handed down by Dashun. Qins, Shengxiao, drums, bells, bells, etc. are all intensively studied-it takes so much to learn so that the saint can not know the taste of meat in March, rather than just thinking about music and can't eat it.

Wuliu Bi naturally took over "I don't know the taste of meat in March" and transcribed Confucius' sincerity of learning music. Because I concentrate on Shao Le and pursue the virtues of ancient sages, I can already experience the joy of learning from learning music. Who cares about common appetites

What are the little animals raised by the state of Qi, how can they compare to the spiritual exchange between saints? How can it be compared to the beauty of harmony in which Shaole can rise to the level of heaven and man, and the sanctity of the Great Yu implicit in it!

In the last two contests, Shaole's "to" will be rewritten. Not only beautiful, but also good. There is a passage in "Ba Yi", "Zi said that "Shao" is as beautiful as it is, and it is also perfect." It not only praises the beauty of his music, but also praises the holiness of Shun reflected in this festive music, such as The sky is so thick.

This is the tacit understanding between the saints who know the dark seal from afar! That's why Confucius praised Shaole so sincerely.

However, after Babi's strong praise, there must be a short and powerful ending. If the ending can't be lifted in one breath, the grade of the article will also be dropped by one level.

But I have already liked the whole article just now, and I can't improve it any more. I have to turn around... and then like it. The title of this article is that the sages praise the sacred music. They want to speak on behalf of the sages in the article, dare to say no

If you want to praise again, and you can't tout it positively, then you can only use laity as a foil.

Shao Le is perfect and beautiful, so it cannot be done unless it is Da Shun, nor can it be understood unless it is Confucius, and lay people can’t understand it at all—if they don’t understand it, they cannot praise Shao Le like Confucius!

Cui Xie raised his brows, pinched off the middle reasoning part, and directly criticized the layman: "If the other person is wearing a crown and listening to ancient music for fear of lying down, can you say this?"

In fact, he is also a layman who can fall asleep listening to ancient music, but this does not delay him from despising others from the perspective of sages.

This sentence is succinct and concise, and it also deducts the original title.

He read it from beginning to end several times, slightly changed a few words, deleted the overly long transitional sentences, cut out the article with only the word "Xuezhi" tightly, and then copied it onto paper.

After writing this question for a while, he moved his neck and looked at the place where the sun had risen to the mid-heaven, and his heart was slightly nervous. Fortunately, most of the "Book of Songs" questions have familiar questions that can be borrowed, and the questions of the four books are all short-answered and question-and-answer. Although those big questions are different from the style of the time, but in terms of refining the central idea, the ideas are the same, and then use the allusions that came to mind at the time and written in the standard answers...

It’s better to avoid the standard answers and use fresh allusions, otherwise, I don’t know how many candidates have read the “Notes for Imperial Examination” before the exam, and one or two of them can directly use the analysis in the answer. And allusions, this article is too vulgar.

He has to be determined to be the one who is different!

If you want to write the last two four-book essays fresh, you need to spend more time. He wrote carefully, and it was already past noon after only two articles were written, and he could only deal with lunch in a hurry. He asked the captain of the patrol field to ask for some hot water to make ginger tea, and wrapped the luncheon meat slices with pancakes. pause.

After eating, I completed the title of the third chapter and the four books, and the rest was the title of the four poems. Fortunately, there are old articles available for the title of the Book of Songs, and those articles are also carefully written, and they can be copied and copied.

And this sentence is not difficult to write, as long as it is written to persuade the monarch to work diligently in government affairs, so that the people can rest in peace.

The author has something to say:

This test will be written in more detail, because it is the last test of the four books and five classics, and the questions that will be asked in the following table will also be written in more detail. Don't be annoying, because there will be no more in the future, not much. Write I am afraid of regret later

I almost forgot to write this. The author of this article is Wu Kuan. This is Cheng Wen, who has been taking exams for more than ten years in Hongzhi. It just so happens that Cui Xie is also the deputy chief exam this time.
