Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Literary Master

The Provincial College of Literature is a professional literary school, the scale is not large, but it has a long history, some of the buildings are antique, the trees are rich, and it is usually very peaceful.

At this time, it is very noisy.

Inside and outside the library, it was crowded. People who look like teachers are more likely to be young students. Some of them are excited, some are solemn, and some are calm.

The Chinese Middle School Literature Contest is an annual event in the Chinese Empire, sponsored by the Chinese Writers Association and Chinese Literature. The provincial competition is conducted by the provincial "Chinese Literature" to invite cultural celebrities from all over the province as judges, so, as a provincial literary school, who else is more qualified and famous than the teachers and professors who teach here?

Therefore, holding the semi-finals every year has become a mandatory program for the Faculty of Letters.

Yu Cheng took four students to the reporting office to sign and receive the number, and it was about half past seven at this time. Participating students entered the classrooms of the library one after another.

To Su Wen's surprise, he turned out to be in the same examination room as Xie Tianxing and Lin Yutong. As for that Gao Jian, he was in other examination rooms.

As soon as the venue was entered, the electronic broadcast began to announce the rules of the competition.

These rules surprised Su Wen and felt very fresh:

First of all, the exam time starts at 8 o'clock and ends at 12 o'clock, and you can spend four hours of writing time at your disposal. You can write until the last time, or you can turn in the paper at any time.

After the question is sent, each person receives a stack of manuscript paper, which is enough for the participants to write 10,000 words. It is estimated that it will not be used up, and it is estimated that it is impossible to write 10,000 words in four hours, or handwritten. Even if it is written, it is scribbled to the eye.

Secondly, electronics cannot be taken out and used. The signal of electronic products has been blocked at the scene, and it is not possible to search for information through mobile phones.

In fact, the biggest difference between this literary contest and other competitions is that you can flip through the materials, just like an open-book exam. It's just that the materials for this open-book exam are not brought by yourself, but are provided by the convenience of Guò to help you find the information you need.

Where is the on-site information?

The whole library is!

If you want a certain material or a certain book, as long as you can clearly state the title of the book and the name of the author, you can call the invigilator to inform the library staff and find it for you - note that you can clearly and unambiguously name the book material.

That's why electronic signals are blocked, because you can search for keywords on the Internet. The purpose of this regulation is to test students' reading and memory skills.

The reason why the semi-finals are held in the library is to provide students with reference materials.

There are more than 1,000 students in the entire province participating in the semi-finals, divided into more than 10 examination rooms, each with 100 people, and the classrooms in the library are very large, and students can sit in them, and they can be separated by one or two meters.

The semi-finals stipulate that 20 minutes before the exam, candidates can communicate freely, but once the questions and manuscript papers are sent, they cannot speak out.

Su Wende admitted that this kind of assessment was very humane, and it was the first time he had participated in such a special exam.

When he came in just now, he saw a study room in the library next door, which was full of bookshelves and books. When he asked if he could go in and have a look, the staff told him that there was no problem, that there were staff inside, and that he could borrow books at any time and even bring them to the exam room.

However, when the question is sent, he can't come in and search for the book by himself, so he has to write down the exact title and author of the book and submit it to the invigilator, who will find the book and send it to the examination room for him to make reference materials.

Once the book is not searchable in the book system, it can only be stopped, and everyone has nothing to say.

Seeing that the time was not yet eight o'clock, Su Wen walked out of the examination room, burrowed into the room next door full of bookshelves, and wandered among countless books.

He took a look, and most of the books in this room were classical anthologies, including those before the establishment of the Chinese Empire, such as the complete works of "Rong Zhai Essays", as well as ancient books of the pre-Qin period. In addition, there are many classics after the Southern Song Dynasty, but at that time, the national strength of the Chinese Empire was brilliant, and there were many poems praising the Chinese Dynasty, and there were some ancient books related to the achievements of industrial architecture.

There are so many things, Su Wen roughly estimated that there are hundreds of bookshelves in this house, and there are tens of thousands of books. It's really the library of the Faculty of Letters, it's just one of the houses, and there are so many books. Isn't the entire library more than a million?

Su Wen just wanted to shop, and he didn't really want to find any books as reference materials, saying that in this competition, he relied on those classic chapters in his memory, and he really had to rely on his ability to write articles to compete, which was really embarrassing for him.

The culture and education of the Chinese Empire were prosperous, and the national cultural heritage was very strong, and even many students could write a fairly good ancient essay by themselves.

With such a level of everyone, how dare Su Wen say that he has the ability to compete with others?

While Su Wen was wandering between the books, an office on the ground floor of the library quickly gathered a group of scholars who looked very imposing.

Some are forty or fifty years old, some are fifty or sixty, and even sixty or seventy, with gray hair, but all of them are very elegant.

They are the organizers of this semi-final and the judges, including many literary leaders.

One of them, an old man of about seventy years of age, seemed to have a great status, and the younger ones greeted him respectfully, and those of the same age also centered on him and gathered him in the middle to talk.

"Old Xiao, you are a senior in the literary world, why did you come here to join in the fun? Is it because of the stillness of thought? Someone asked the old man at the center.

The old man's name is Xiao Kewen, he is the dean of the Guangdong Provincial Academy of Literature, and the president of the Guangdong Provincial Writers Association.

Although this rematch is held on his turf, after all, it is only a middle school level event, and he usually does not appear. Therefore, everyone was very surprised by his appearance.

Xiao Kewen smiled very elegantly, and joked with people that when people are old, they want to move their bodies, let everyone do their own things, and ignore him.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Kewen found a middle-aged man, grabbed him and asked, "Xiao Li, are all your participating students from Guangdong City here?" ”

"Teacher Xiao, no one wants to miss such an important game." The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

If Fang Chengshi is here, he will definitely be able to recognize the person surnamed Li as Li Daoming, vice president of the Guangdong Writers Association.

Xiao Kewen nodded again and again when he heard this: "It's good to come, it's good to come." The student who wrote 'Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat' also came? ”

"Teacher Xiao is talking about Su Wen?" Li Daoming looked shocked, he didn't expect Xiao Kewen to know Su Wen too. It is said that although he and Su Wen have never met, they have been friends for a long time, and they are no strangers to his works and situations.

"That's him!" Xiao Kewen nodded seriously, "Xiao Li, you have a good seedling in the city, I admire the three poems written by this student!" ”

"Teacher Xiao is too serious, you are a senior, he is just a rising star, and he still needs your guidance!" Li Daoming felt polite for Su Wen.

Xiao Kewen shook his head and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I came this time just to see what classic articles this student can write for the first time!" If a few more classic poems are published, it will be the luck of our Guangdong province! ”

Li Daoming was so shocked that he couldn't speak, others were speculating about the reason for Xiao Kewen's appearance, but they didn't expect it to be because of a middle school student, and just to be able to see the article he wrote for the first time.

When I say this, I am afraid that I will envy the dead! Also jealous of the dead!

"Teacher Xiao, Su Wen is in the fifth examination room, why don't we go and have a look?" Li Daoming hesitated to build yì.

"Okay, okay, let's go." Xiao Kewen smiled and nodded, and under the guidance of Li Daoming, he walked towards the fifth examination room. However, when the two of them went upstairs, before they reached the classroom in the fifth examination room, the radio prompted that eight o'clock had arrived, and the rematch was about to begin.

The library quickly fell silent.

All the students entered one after another, Su Wen hurriedly ran back from next door, looked at the classroom, there were still vacant seats at the door, and he didn't have any scruples like those students, so he sat directly on the outermost seat.

Before I sat down, someone sent the title and manuscript paper.

Su Wen's eyes quickly fell on the topic, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

…………
