A direct disciple like Cui Xie was naturally treated differently from others. After Mr. Lin assigned other students their homework, he asked them to study by themselves. He only took him into the inner room with the heated kang, and told him to sit beside the kang and listen to private tutoring.
The teachers and students have a tacit understanding for a long time, and all the purpose of learning is to pass the student test. Therefore, Cui Xie usually does not even learn poetry very much: the requirements for poetry and essays are different. The antithetical sentences in the text should be written in a tactful manner. The more you learn about the poems of geniuses, the easier it is to affect the syntax of the article.
Mr. Lin took the "pre-theme" homework he wrote and said: "Fortunately, your writing is closely related to the sages' verses, and your words are also full of classics, which is a dignified way. It's just that I don't think your words are elegant and tactful enough. And winning with Qi pulse is like taking the path of the ancient texts of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
"But Shiwen is the current style of writing, and it is meant to be written for today's examiners. If the examiner doesn't like ancient writing, they will despise your writing for being too simple. Therefore, the eight-part antithetical sentences in the main text must be neat and elegant, and the The impression that the quality of the title is better than the text is pulled back."
Cui Xie took it down seriously, and honestly admitted: "When the students first came to the county, the county magistrate said that Shiwen was born out of ancient writing, and asked me to memorize Mr. Zou Yangzi's "The Collected Works of Six Masters". The students may have memorized too many articles. Now, I unconsciously carried traces of ancient writing when I wrote it.”
Mr. Lin asked lightly, "How many have you memorized?"
He lowered his eyes, looked at the snow-white pages and said, "It's all memorized."
There are a total of 320 essays in "Mr. Six's Essays". He started to memorize them in late August. At first, he insisted on memorizing three new essays every day. He was too busy with homework in the next few months, so he reduced it to two essays. It was just during the winter vacation. Finished. He not only recited it once, but also consolidated it according to the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve. There were only a few days in the middle when I stopped reciting new texts because of some incidents. I had to review old texts at night with the lights on. At most, I had to memorize more than 20 texts a day, and now I still have to review more than a dozen old texts every day.
Sometimes when he thinks about it himself, he doesn't know how he persevered. But he knew that he would continue to memorize and study like this in the future, because the imperial examination was the widest...even the only way in front of him.
Mr. Lin was slightly moved and sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such an ambition. It's not wrong to memorize ancient prose. From breaking the topic to the entry part, you must be refined and powerful, and you should take the whole article in one go. It's not a bad idea to learn from the ancients. It's just the main text. When comparing and contrasting sentences, we must be neat and precise, refine the words, and pay attention to the rhythm and rhythm. The ancient prose has the advantages of the ancient prose, and the contemporary prose also has the advantages of the occasional prose.
Cui Xie's reverence for Bagu is far better than that of ancient prose. Anyway, ancient prose has been memorized scatteredly since middle school. Bagu has lived for more than 20 years and hasn't finished studying it seriously. How dare he belittle it. He responded with an excellent attitude: "Students understand, they must focus on carving words in the future."
Mr. Lin added: "Don't be too sculpted, if it is too delicate and delicate, it will be inferior."
… is this a blockage at both ends
Carving is not right or not carving is not right, so how to write? Writing an essay is just like making a plan for Party A, and it's frustrating even before writing it!
Mr. Lin sighed with knowledge: "When you get to the examination room, it depends on whether you can hit or miss the examiner's preference. If you hit you, you can win even if you close your eyes, but if you don't hit it, it's like a bride marrying into her husband's unkind love. , mother-in-law's harsh family: not beautiful, not dignified, not using code, not using code... Whatever you do is wrong."
There was a hint of resentment on his usually serious face, as if he missed a certain examiner who had tormented him, Cui Xie couldn't help but take a peek. When he noticed a little, he covered his face by drinking tea, and said slowly: "The county respects you so much, it's not a problem to come to your county to take a step, but you need to think more about the government and the academic officials during the government and Taoist examinations. Articles written by Su Ri, cater to their preferences.”
When Mr. Lin said this, Cui Xie remembered that the county magistrate Qi usually likes to write articles. He also told the book boy in the county that he would buy a copy of the anthology when the county magistrate published it. Since he now has a bookstore, he should also try to figure out the main exam's articles before the county exam, so why not just print a set of books for Qi county magistrate
Anyway, "Shen Yuan Poems" can sell more than 200 copies, and the travel notes of Mr. Qi are packaged in a small and fresh style, and they should also sell a lot.
Don't all scholars pay attention to the three immortality of "virtue, merit, and words"? Although he can't help Qi County magistrate to get any political achievements and enter the famous eunuch temple in Qian'an, at least he can make his articles circulated. In the future, he will compile local chronicles. half an article.
He was distracted for a while, and soon woke up again, staring at Mr. Lin, for fear that he had just missed something. Fortunately, Mr. Lin himself was immersed in resentment for an unknown examiner or the examination itself, and did not notice his abnormality.
He picked up the pen and jotted down a few sentences at random. Mr. Lin returned from a trance. Seeing that he had written down the requirements he had said, he nodded in approval and continued: "The ancients' articles include parallel prose and prose, and there are parallel and prose in the contemporary prose. The second part is scattered. The beginning is prose from breaking the topic to the beginning, and the sentence in the middle is similar to the ancient parallel prose, but the opposite requirements are not so neat, as long as the text and meaning are in parallel and opposite. There are also prose passages, and finally the whole text ends with a prose sentence, which is the structure of the whole text of the scriptures.”
This time, instead of showing Cheng Moji to Cui Xie, he specially made a short demonstration article and pointed it out to him: "The article must convey the theme, discuss it, and use the mouths of the ancients to express it in your heart. The voice is all in these eight even sentences. One or two of them are related to the 'before the title', which is the part of the ancients' saying 'from the beginning to the end'. It is necessary to write fiction or not, and express your own discussion by holding on to the title. To bring up the momentum of the whole article.”
The title of Mr. Lin's essay is from "The Analects of Confucius, Ba Yi". The second comparison of the title is the meaning of "the music of "Shao" shows the prosperity of the great Shun's merits in the lecture part of the lecture, and does not touch a single word of beauty, but from the shengxiao, qinse and the dancers who play the music. Yu Hao wrote about the beauty of Shao Le in two aspects, and buckled the "Shao" in the first half of the title.
Cui Xie thought that Shao Le was just a piece of qin music for so many years before he traveled, and he never felt substituting when he read the sentence "Zizai heard "Shao" in Qi, I don't know the taste of meat in March. Now that I have read a lot, I realize that people are watching large-scale musicals with zero distance on the stage. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when there was no Internet, no movies, and not many books to read, it is estimated that he will miss it for three months after reading it.
Of course, if you don't know the taste of meat, forget it.
His fingertips tapped the rhythm on the table, recited it several times, and said with admiration, "I read these two sentences of Mr., and I also have the heart to blend in the words, and I feel that I can read them without getting tired."
The gentleman smiled lightly and slightly, pointed to the paired sentences and said: "These two sentences use the method of dividing one into two, dividing the beauty of Shao into the beauty of sound and the beauty of dance. If you change the meaning For a single topic, the meaning outside the topic is filled in, or one positive and one negative, or one bright and one dark, echoing each other to explain the topic, but the topic cannot be written in one step.”
With a swipe of your fingertips, you skip the following prose sentences and say: "After mentioning the whole text in one or two comparisons, you can use three or four prose sentences to point out the topic here, so that the article can be deducted from the topic everywhere, and the top and bottom are integrated, so as not to be sloppy and procrastinated. If the whole question has been pointed out in the entry part, you can skip it.”
After the prose, there is another pair of couplets that follow the content of the first two ratios—this year, it is also very simple and called the three-four ratio.
In these two competitions, the sound of Shao Yue is compared with the song of a phoenix and a bird, and the dance of Jiu Shao is compared with the dance of a hundred beasts. Roughly speaking, the three-to-four ratio is just to follow the one-two ratio, and the perfect meaning of "Shao" in the title is added to the gate, but the phoenix chirping and the dance of the beasts have other meanings in the scriptures, that is to refer to of the Holy King.
Therefore, these two sentences not only describe the rhythm and dance of music and dance, but also link the previous and the next, and deduct the title one step forward, and write the "Shao" of the goodness of music.
Mr. Lin shook his head and neck lightly, silently chanting those two proud works, and instructed: "The three-four ratio is the backbone of the whole article, it goes up and down, and it goes from the first half of the title to the second half, and it must be turned neatly and steadily. Or use two or three sentences, or five or six sentences, don't be too long. Then use a few prose sentences to bridge and go straight to the second half of the question. Five or six is a supplement to the three to four ratio, and write the meaning of the second half.
"These two sentences are the 'combination' in 'starting, inheriting, turning and combining', which can take on the content of the three-four ratio, and can also further explain the meaning of the question. The five-six ratio must start with a virtual character, and the above-mentioned use of 'cover' and 'only' 'If this'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''s words
In his article, it is the two comparisons of Shunchengzhong, starting with "the beauty of the voice", still comparing the even sentences from the two aspects of sound and appearance, and then advancing one level, explaining in depth that the beauty of Shaoyue is not only beautiful in rhythm, music and dance, but also in music and dance. The beauty lies in its virtue of Chunhua atmosphere.
At this point, the eight-match article has finished six-match, leaving only the last two-match and a prose ending. Seeing the hope of ending the get out of class, Cui Xie lifted his spirits slightly, stretched out his notebook, and falsely raised the tip of his pen on a new white page, waiting to finish writing down this last point.
Mr. Lin also relaxed a bit, pointing to the comparison sentence at the end of the article and said: "After the five or six comparisons, the meaning of the title of the text is almost exhausted, and the seven or eight comparisons will return to this topic again, echoing the full text of the previous article."
The key point of the last two comparisons is to end, to end, and to evoke a long aftertaste that is unforgettable. After all, there is still a big conclusion to be written at the bottom, and the two ratios cannot really be regarded as the end.
"In the past, there were also people who gave up the last two comparisons, but Cheng Wen, which was published after the exam last year, ended the whole text with the last two comparisons, which led to the remaining thoughts. Shiwen Shiwen, which is the latest writing, should take the test. It is necessary to follow the latest Chengwen paradigm, and the pre-schoolers’ articles only learn the way of thinking and writing, not the outdated structure.”
Speaking of this, Mr. Lin's expression completely disappeared, and he felt as if he had finished the lecture. He stood up and stretched his waist. He turned around and said to him: "You can make the big knot as you like, and you can use a few knots here. A dozen or so sentences are fine, you can express your own voice according to the topic, and you don’t have to imitate others.”
Cui Xie memorized a piece of paper, straightened his waist, and picked up his husband's article to study it carefully.
Mr. Lin walked around the house twice, loosening his muscles and bones, seeing that the sun was about to rise to the mid-heaven outside, and his belly was rumbling slightly, so he instructed him: "I will talk about this first today, and I will use this as the title when I go back today. Write an imitation. I don’t ask you to make a good article right away, as long as the structure is accurate and the sentences are rigorous and neat.”
Seeing that Cui Xie agreed happily, he remembered one more thing, and stopped when he stepped out, pointing to Cheng Wenji on the table and instructed: "Since you can finish the "Liu Jia Wenji", you can also take some contemporary articles from me in the future. The famous Cheng Wen went back to memorize it, and tasted the rhetoric and context."
Although Cui Xie has been focusing on the "Four Books" these days, he has not forgotten the ancient texts of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Every day before going to bed, he has to review a dozen or so chapters according to the law of forgetting. What's more, the eight-part prose has a style here, and it is guaranteed to be in the order of breaking the topic, accepting the topic, starting the speech... to the conclusion, so that the format and rhythm are better than prose.
He found a collection of essays he hadn't read on the table, borrowed it from his husband, and went back to the classroom to study by himself.
At lunch, I brought him an inkstone and brought him freshly steamed buns with flying noodles, fried chicken, fried shredded pork, simmered pork, and stewed tofu with yellow sprouts. His eyes were still fixed on the paper, and his mind was full of confrontations. He carefully matched the upper and lower sentences with each other. He only broke the steamed bun and dipped it in some vegetable soup before putting it in his mouth, not knowing that he was eating it. what.
Confucius heard the "Shao", but he didn't know the taste of meat in March. He was a primary school student who wrote the composition of "Shao", but he didn't know the taste of the food all day. I managed to write an article perfunctorily, and when I stood up, I found that the cervical and lumbar vertebrae seemed to be about to be broken, and they creaking after a little movement.
He blew the half-dry ink on the blowing paper and rolled up the manuscript paper, thankful that he didn't have to learn this for the first 20 years. Confucius and Mencius' fighting strength was stronger than Lu Xun, Zhu Ziqing, and Lao She who were tied together. If he had started learning Bagu since elementary school, he would have protruded his waist plate before he even went to college, and he would never have had the chance to grow to 1.8 meters.
The author has something to say: The title of the quoted article is "Zi said that Shao is beautiful and perfect." The text is in the nineteenth year of Chenghua. There is no other way, so I have to hide the author and content.
The writing method of Baguwen is mainly based on Gong Duqing's "Appreciation of Baguwen"
