Light as cicada wings, white as snow, trembling like fine silk without sound.

The township test is not comparable to the children's exam, even the scratch paper is so good, Zhu Ping'an flattened the scratch paper that recorded the exam questions just now, and praised the quality of the scratch paper.

In this three-day and two-night exam, you need to do a total of seven eight-strand essays, three eight-strand essays in four books, and four eight-strand essays in the Five Classics. The amount of this kind of question varies from person to person, some candidates may complete it in less than two days, but some candidates may not be able to complete it in three days and two nights. Zhu Ping'an read all the exam questions and felt that he could finish them without needing to do it at night.

The brush was dipped in ink, another piece of scratch paper was spread, and Zhu Ping'an began to work from the first one.

The first question is the meaning of the four books: "The gentleman is ill and his name is not worthy." ”

This is a very standard four-book eight-strand from the Analects. Wei Linggong fifteenth", this sentence means that Confucius said: "The resentment of a gentleman is to die and his reputation is not praised." ”

This is a heartfelt saying said by Confucius, life is in the world, but the word fame and fortune. A "name" word, how many young people's heads have been white, and how many heroic tears have been shed! The geese have been left to be silent, and the people are nameless. Although Confucius himself repeatedly said things like "people don't know and are not ashamed", he also sighed, "No one knows me!" ("Xianwen") is not known, not understood, and it is still Confucius's "Spring and Autumn" to "see himself in future generations". ("The Family of Confucius") put it bluntly, it is "a gentleman who is sick and unworthy of his name." ”

Therefore, Confucianism is not unrecognizable, it is not that it does not like to "make the reputation of the body" (Mencius), but it is just to oppose the reputation of the people, the sale of fame, and the deception of the world to steal the name.

This sentence is easy to understand. It's also easy to do.

Zhu Ping'an almost dipped himself in ink, and began to write, as if a god was helping.

"There is no name for the hereafter, and there is no worry for the saints."

This sentence is a problem-solving, which can be said to be a very standard problem-solving. Fame cannot be preached in the Hereafter, which is a concern of the saints.

After solving the problem, Zhu Ping'an dipped the brush on the inkstone, and continued to write:

"The name of the husband for the time does not have to be the name of the future generations. You can't do without it. Therefore, the gentleman does not seek fame, and he has to be anxious about this.

If the Master says: Those who have a good name will also have the constancy of people. Therefore, the corporal asks for a name, and people must not be impatient, but I hate the name of his urgency. It is not a name for eternity. If the gentleman knows that the trial is here

There are those who are greater than this, and there are those who are longer than this. If the husband camps in the middle of the day, he is the one who seeks to finish quickly, and the one with a good name is not like that? ”

In less than a stick of incense, Zhu Ping'an finished writing the first eight shares. After writing the first eight-strand essay, Zhu Ping'an hung the scratch paper full of words on the table for a while, so as not to stain the test paper with the ink of the handwriting.

While drying the draft paper, Zhu Ping'an continued to look at the second question.

The second question is a bit similar to the last college exam. But it's not all the same. The topic is as follows: A gentleman is not powerful if he is not important, he is not solid in learning, and the Lord is faithful. If you have no friends, you are not as good as yourself, and you should not be afraid to change.

Last time, I only took the final "don't be afraid to change if you pass", but this time I took a whole sentence.

Don't underestimate this difference, the idea of answering the question is completely different, last time it was only for "don't be afraid to change it", this time it is for this whole sentence to compose. The meaning of this sentence is: if a gentleman's behavior is not dignified, there will be no majesty, and if his attitude is not dignified, the knowledge and learning he has learned will not be consolidated. Being a man is mainly about loyalty and keeping promises. Don't make friends with people who are not as good as you. If you make a mistake, don't be afraid to correct it.

For this question. Zhu Ping'an broke the problem like this: "A gentleman is a gentleman who learns, and he must do his best to learn." ”

While thinking. While splashing ink, Zhu Ping'an did not hurry or slow to complete this eight-strand text in one go.

Finish these two eight-strand texts. It was just noon, Zhu Ping'an put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and pressed it with a ruler, so as not to blow away from the north wind.

Then he put the house into a resting state, ready to take a short rest and take a lunch break.

However, this house is too narrow, and he is not completely tall, so he can't stretch his legs, so he can only curl up his legs to rest. However, when Zhu Ping'an was about to squint, he only heard a miserable roar from next door, which destroyed Zhu Ping'an's sleepiness.

"Damn, the old paper is writing string pages!"

This miserable roar was followed by a thump thump, and if I guessed correctly, it should be this guy hitting the wall.

Then, another roar full of anger followed, it was another man's voice, as if he had a hatred for killing his father and taking his wife with the owner of the first voice.

"Dunlun Rumu, I was scared by you and the pen fell, and the test papers were all stained!"

Well, one wrote the answer on a string page, and the other was frightened by his throat and the pen fell and inked the test paper. The one who wrote the serial page must be on the list, so he was so miserable when he found out; But the second brother is very worthy of sympathy, and was so frightened by the buddy who wrote the page numbers that the brush fell and dyed the test paper, and there was a large cloud of ink on the test paper, which must have been treated as a cheating with a mark, and it was also going to be lost.

Fortunately, he was resting, otherwise he might have been scared to contaminate the test paper by his cold voice.

Soon, an invigilator led the four sergeants over, confiscated the test papers of the two men without saying a word, and then the four sergeants gagged the two men with cloth balls like wolves and dragged them out of the dormitory.

These two buddies, this exam is blown, and whether they can take the exam in the future is also a matter of two words.

After this accident, Zhu Ping'an didn't feel sleepy anymore, and restored the house to the appearance of tables and chairs. I roasted the jerky on the charcoal brazier, then took a piece of dim sum and had a simple lunch with boiled water.

After the meal, pack up the things, put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone away, and continue to make your own drafts.

The third eight-strand essay is quite difficult, Zhu Ping'an conceived for about an hour before starting to write, and when he wrote it, it was much slower than the first two, and it was just the time in the afternoon to finish this eight-strand essay.

The title of this article is only four words, "Yuan Yuan Qi Yuan", from "The Mean", which means that the sage's thoughts are as deep as a pool of water.

However, how to write this sentence eight shares!

The full text of this sentence is: Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to enrich the world's great scriptures, establish the world's great foundation, and know the transformation and education of heaven and earth. Do you have something to rely on? The abyss, the abyss, the vastness.

After thinking for about an hour, Zhu Ping'an remembered that someone had explained "The Mean" in modern times, and that person was "the sky is silent, the earth is silent, and people are in the middle." This sentence is spoken for the main idea.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Ping'an's frowning brows stretched, and he began to write, and while thinking, he wrote down, and it was not until the sun waned that he finished writing this eight-strand article.

I wrote three eight-strand essays in one day, and the remaining four articles could be written in two days with my eyes closed. Zhu Ping'an nodded with satisfaction, put away the written scratch paper, and after dinner, he spread out a blanket, covered it with a blanket and fell asleep.

The rabbit skin blanket was very warm, windproof and warm, and Zhu Ping'an slept soundly all night. However, some people are not so good, the north wind is howling at night, although it is not snowing, but it is cold and abnormal, many people, especially the candidates who once laughed at Zhu Ping'an at the door, shivered at night, and their intestines were blue with regret.
