Fujian dog days, heaven and earth for steamers.

It was only morning, the sun was not high, and I didn't go far to come back, and I was covered with sweat.

In the thatched hut where Zhang Yue and the three of them studied, the windows were wide open, but they still couldn't stand the steam.

In the afternoon, Guo Lin and Miao San were still sitting in the thatched hut and reading. Zhang Yue couldn't eat the heat, so he borrowed Zhang Zhuqiao from a lame slave and moved to a tree shaded by a pine forest to set up a mosquito net to rest.

After sleeping for an hour or two at noon, Zhang Yue did not go back to the hut to study, but went to the stream to draw water.

Zhang Yue's whole person soaked in the cold stream, and suddenly felt that Fang was weakened by the sun, and then he was alive again. After Zhang Yue swam by the stream for nearly half an hour, when the heat had subsided for most of the time, he put on his clothes and walked back to the thatched house with his bare feet and shoes and socks.

At this time, Zhang Yue couldn't help but snicker when he saw Guo Lin, who was tortured to an inhuman appearance.

On weekdays, Guo Lin can wear a short shirt or a middle coat when he studies in the hut, but with Miao Sanniang here, he has to wear a long shirt, shoes and socks, and he must be tight, except for his face, he can't show any skin.

Even if Guo Lin wanted to take it off, he didn't dare to stare at the tall servant outside.

At this time, it was still bright, and Miao Sanniang had already packed her bags and prepared to go home with her servants.

Zhang Yue didn't know that Miao Sanniang and Guo Lin had such a conversation in the house today.

In the thatched hut, Miao Sanniang saw Zhang Yue's hands as pillows in the distance, his legs on stilts, wearing a short shirt with his belly, only covered with a pu fan, and then sleeping under the forest, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Senior Brother Zhang, he actually sleeps during the day?"

Guo Lin on the side shook the pu fan, sweated like rain and held the paper to recite, and listened to Miao Sanniang say so: "Senior brother, he has always been like this." ”

"In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and you have to stand up for the lights and candles as soon as it gets dark, so if you don't take advantage of the summer time to read, when will you wait?"

Guo Lin said: "Although the junior brother is lazy, his talent and intelligence are beyond my reach. ”

"How smart?"

"How many days did my sister memorize the Book of Filial Piety?"

Miao Sanniang also studied women's studies, and most of the women's courses were to teach their husbands and children in the boudoir, and they were filial to their parents at home. Miao Sanniang has read "The Biography of the Daughters" and "The Female Commandment", and has also read "The Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects".

But generally speaking, women can read so far, but Miao Sanniang also read "The Book of Rites" and "The Book of Songs".

She is only slightly short in arithmetic, but she is really inferior to her in terms of reading.

Miao Sanniang thought for a while and said, "When the female gentleman taught me, it took three or four days before and after. ”

"My sister is really smart, and I use ...... It took three days. But Senior Brother Zhang only took one day! ”

Miao Sanniang's eyes flashed with a different color, and after a while, she said with relief: "No wonder this is the case...... Senior Brother Zhang is self-sustaining and reciting, so he doesn't need to study. Chi shallow and easy to win, this is not enough to take, not a real reader. ”

Zhang Shi was stunned: "Then why take it?" is a real reader. ”

Miao Sanniang said leisurely: "Of course, he is a highly talented and hard-working scholar, who can be humble and polite...... It's like ......" and the sound is like a mosquito when it comes to the back.

Zhang Shi didn't know what he was referring to at first, but then lowered his head with a flushed face, so he put on his clothes more tightly and continued to sit upright and read.

Seeing this, Miss Miao San smiled, glanced at the servant outside the door, and said in her heart, Ah Qi will not be used in a few days.

Soon the two people in the room heard Zhang Yue and chanted: "Sit in a full white single coat and wear yellow grass shoes." After finishing the meal, he stepped forward. ”

"The summer breeze changes slightly, and the day gradually increases. The courtyard is quietly shady, and the birds are singing new leaf trees. ”

"Traveling alone or lying alone, the summer scene is not twilight. If you don't sleep at noon, you can spend your days in peace. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yue had woken up, the two did not take advantage of the heat to go into the house to study, but wore short shirts to go to the stream to swim in the water.

Miao Sanniang said: "It's a pity to be endowed with the sky, but to waste time so empty." ”

It was very hot in the afternoon, and Guo Xuexue only taught in the morning, and went back to the house to rest after class.

As usual, the Analects were dictated to Zhang Yue by Guo Xuezhu. The Analects of Confucius has been studied for nearly half a month. In fact, just about reciting the whole text, Zhang Yue only took five days.

When Zhang Yue memorized the Analects within five days, Guo Xuexue and Guo Lin had really correctly believed that Zhang Yue was talented, at least by memorization.

The homework that follows the Analects is all about commentary.

The Song people commented on the oral meaning of the Analects in many ways, the most famous of which is Zhao Pu's sentence 'Half of the Analects rules the world'.

It is said that when he was the prime minister, when he encountered a difficult political matter that could not be decided, he would take the Analects and turn it through to find the answer.

However, this sentence comes from the notes of the Song people, and there is no solid historical evidence to prove it. According to the history of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu did not learn skills in his early years, and after becoming the prime minister, he was repeatedly persuaded by Zhao Kuangyin to read more books. Zhao Pu couldn't let go of the scroll in his later years, and as soon as he got home, he took a book from the basket to read.

After Zhao Pu's death, his family found that there were only 20 Analects in his book.

Later, the sentence "half of the treatise on language to rule the world" and Song Taizu's sentence "the prime minister must use a scholar" has always become a beautiful talk of Confucianism, in fact, no matter what book you read, the most important thing is people rather than books.

After Zhang Yue memorized the Analects by himself, Guo Xuexue often couldn't sleep at night, glad that he had such a 'good talent and beautiful jade', and he was afraid that he would be ruined in his own hands.

On this day, after Zhang Yue had familiarized himself with the Analects, Guo Xuejiu personally found Zhang Yue, first with a serious face, and then said a call.

"Zi said, he is also a person, gentle and thick, and poetic; Alienation is far away, and books and teachings are also; Broad and easy to enjoy, music and education; Frugal and respectful, etiquette and teaching; Clean and subtle, easy to teach; The genus word is more than things, and the Spring and Autumn Period teaches also. ”

Zhang Yue listened to Guo Xuexue's meaning, and he listed the wonders of Confucius's reading of the Five Classics of "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn".

However, Zhang Yue understands that this is all foreshadowing in front, and the content is in the back.

So Guo Xuezhu asked seriously: "What are your plans for Yu Gongju in the future?" ”

Zhang Yue said: "The student doesn't understand, please ask Mr. to solve the student's doubts." ”

Guo Xue stroked his beard and said: "This tribute is divided into regular and systematic subjects. As the name suggests, the system must be specially set up by the Son of Heaven for the purpose of recruiting talents.

"There are very few subjects included, and they are not set up according to the time, so the old man has never heard of a scholar who ...... to make subjects."

"Hongo Xianda Wu Xianggong, isn't it just to confer officials with the system?"

Zhang Yue couldn't help but speak, he was ETC when he mixed up in the forum in his last life, so he couldn't help himself. And the Wu Xianggong that Zhang Yue said was Wu Yu, who was the ruler of the dynasty. Not long ago, Zhang Yue also saw his nephew at Peng County's lieutenant.

Guo Xueyu nodded and said, "Exactly, the teacher was negligent." In the past two hundred years of this dynasty, only Wu Xianggong has entered the third class! It is more difficult to get the champion in the third class, dozens of champions in this dynasty so far, but there is only one person in the third class, Wu Xianggong, you say that it is more difficult to make the department than the regular department. ”

The Chang Ke mentioned by Guo Xuexue below is the well-known imperial examination method.

And the regular branch is a fixed tribute for a few years, and it is actually not common to say that it is a regular department, for example, there is a tribute every two years, there are also tributes every four years, and even there are five years of no tribute. However, in recent years, it has been set as a biennial tribute.

Guo Xuezhi said: "The regular department is also divided into two subjects, the Jinshi department and the various subjects. The so-called Zhuke is also the Ming Jing Department in the Tang Dynasty, but the Jinshi Branch has always been inconvenient. ”

"Jin Shike on poetry, on the policy and the meaning of the scriptures. But the subjects don't need poetry to give policy, just post the scriptures and ink meanings, I'll talk to you about the subjects first! ”

The so-called sticking to the scriptures is to test the original text in the book, such as 'threesome, there must be my teacher', cover the last sentence for you, let you write the sentence, or cover the last sentence and write the sentence and so on. But Chang Corey is not so simple, usually covering several words like this.

Moyi is to explain the meaning of 'threesomes, there must be my teacher'. Changke only examines the scriptures and Moyi, to put it bluntly, it is to test your endorsement skills!

The Song Dynasty has nine classics, five classics, Kaiyuan ceremony, three histories, three rites, three transmissions, pedantry, Ming Law and so on.

Zhang Yue thought that with the meaning of Guo Xuexue's words, it was obvious to imply that he relied on various subjects. However, Jinshike's poetry strategy theory is to be learned by looking at talents, and there is no unified standard.

As far as the children of the Han family are concerned, no one has spread your article and introduced you to the minister, and the hope of going to Jinshike is too slim. Only rote memorization has greater hope.

Guo Xuezhi asked, "What are the three courtesies?" ”

The three rites are the "Book of Rites", "Zhou Li", and "Etiquette".

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Too little." ”

Guo Xuexue was full of relief, he was actually 'asking Zhi'. Zhang Yue did not choose pedantic subjects for laziness, nor did he not 'respect the scriptures' to choose three history, Kaiyuan ceremony, Ming Law and other subjects, which shows that this son can be created.

Guo Xuezhi asked again: "What about the three passes?" ”

The three passes are "Spring and Autumn Left Biography", "Ram Biography", and "Grain Liang Biography". The three rites add up to about 200,000 words, but the three transmissions alone have 200,000 words.

"It's still too little!" Zhang Yue did not hesitate.

Guo Xuezhi was even more happy: "The Five Classics are okay? ”

Before the Five Classics, he mentioned Mao's poems, Shangshu, Rites, Zuo Chuan, Zhou Yi Five Classics, Kong Yingda once wrote "Five Classics of Justice" to expound the Five Classics, and then it was established as the official imperial examination book, but anyone who does not interpret the Five Classics in accordance with the righteousness of the Five Classics is regarded as a fallacy and heresy.

Although there are many ills, the Five Classics have a common standard for the justice of eliminating the disadvantages of Confucianism and complicated chapters and sentences.

Zhang Yue understands that Jinshike is too ethereal, there is no standard answer, and the examiner has the final say. As a child of the Han family, he has a weak foundation, and it is too difficult to try his luck, and the chance of success in the future is small. But Changke can, here is a hard work, a harvest, and the correct answers are clear at a glance. Therefore, Guo Xuexue's meaning is to expect Zhang Yue to be able to choose the Five Classics.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue continued to shake his head and said, "Too little." ”

Guo Xuezhu was taken aback and wondered: "What subject do you want to choose?" ”

Zhang Yue asked rhetorically: "What subject does senior brother want to choose?" ”

Guo Xuexue was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Your senior brother is ...... I taught him to read the Analects at the age of five, so that one day he would be able to read the Nine Classics. ”

Immediately, Guo Xuexue said to Zhang Yue: "But the Nine Classics are the rarest of all subjects, so you don't have to force it." ”

As Guo Xuezhu said, the most difficult of all subjects is the Nine Classics.

Candidates who read the Nine Classics should read the Nine Classics of Zhou Yi, Shangshu, Mao's Poems, The Book of Rites, Zhou Li, Rites, Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan, The Ram Chuan, and The Grain Liang Biography.

The content of the exam is also the most, with 120 posts to answer and 60 answers.

In the Tang Dynasty, the Five Classics, which were second only to the most difficult subjects in the Jinshi Course, the scope of the examination was also in these Nine Classics.

However, the Tang Dynasty listed "The Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan" as major classics, "Mao Shi", "Zhou Li" and "Rites" as the middle classics, and "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Ram Biography" and "Gu Liang Biography" as minor classics.

During the examination, the two major scriptures are compulsory, and then three of the minor classics can be selected to make up the five classics.

But all the nine classics of the Song Dynasty had to be examined!

Guo Xuexue looked at Zhang Yue deeply, and the implication was that you really want to take the Nine Classics exam?

"I heard that the background of the Nine Classics is above all the subjects?" Zhang Yue asked.

Guo Xuezhi said in his heart when he heard this, this son is too utilitarian, and he doesn't ask if he wants to learn, but asks where he comes from? Let's take it slow in the future!

Guo Xuezhi sighed: "That's right, the background of the Nine Classics is indeed higher than that of the Ninth Classics. Among the Jinshi officers, the top five of the Jinshi Jiakeli champion list, such as Yantanhua, are first-class. ”

"The sixth person of the first family and the "Nine Classics" and the first are the second class. The rest of the subjects are from the same background as the fifth class of Jinshi, and they must be selected. ”

Zhang Yue had a plan in his heart, and the Jinshi Department was divided into five grades.

The top five in the first class of Jinshi are first-class backgrounds.

After the sixth place in the Nine Classics and the First and First Classes, he was born in the second class.

The next is Jinshike, B, C, and so on.

The so-called election means that the official cannot be awarded immediately, and he must run for the election in Liunequan as a candidate after three years, and he must take another examination. The background of other subjects and the fifth class of Jinshi are another treatment.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Yue couldn't imagine how difficult it was to pass the Nine Classics, and Guo Lin, who was not good-looking, actually had this determination.

"Do you want to learn the Nine Classics?" Guo Xuezhi asked.

PS1: Thank you to Xiqiu for being the third leader of this book!

PS2: What subjects do you want to choose?
