Is there a special rule for these eight strands, or is there a shortcut to the imperial examination?

For the scholars of this era, there is naturally no, if there is, as long as a scholar can be named on the gold list, how can the imperial court stuff so many people?

It is precisely because the imperial court cannot accommodate so many scholars that the imperial examination will choose the style of Baguwen, which has almost rigid regulations.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Baguwen was selected for the imperial examination was to make it difficult for readers, to eliminate most of the readers, and to make it difficult to nominate for the gold list.

Yang Cong is more and more desperate the more he looks at it, these eight strands of writing are really not ordinary difficult to write, it seems that he can only read to death, memorize the "Four Books and Five Classics", memorize the words of the ancient sages in his mind, and then continue to practice, imitating the tone of the ancient sages and sages to write him thousands of times, so that he can have the foundation of writing eight strands.

How many years of hard work have to be studied, I'm afraid that he can only take the test until he dies, and the title of the gold list has become a joke.

If you continue to read according to the method of a scholar in this year, he will still change a fart, not to mention changing the fate of Daming, whether his own fate can be changed is a question.

What about shortcuts?

What he needs is a shortcut!

As long as you imitate the tone of the saint and write a few sentences in the format, it is basically no problem to be able to say some truth, mainly the last eight shares, and to be reasonable, and to imitate the tone of the saint, but also to be neat and tidy, but also to pay attention to the mediocre, but also to pay attention to the rhyme, this does not want human life!

This mediocre and rhyme is the most important place, to make a simple analogy, for example, ancient poems, that also pay attention to mediocre and rhyme, the ancients had to ponder at least a few days to write a quatrain.

A quatrain is only about 20 words, of course, this time is not spent on writing, if you just write 20 words, of course, it will not take a few days, it will be over in a few minutes, and the most troublesome thing to write ancient poems is also mediocre and rhyme, sometimes a word has to be scrutinized for a long time.

These eight strands of text is not about 20 words, the main part of the starting shares, middle shares, back shares, bundle shares, four groups of dual sentences at least 200 words, to pay attention to the flat and rhyme, the difficulty can be imagined.

So what exactly is mediocre and what is rhyme?

This Yang Cong knows very well that the readers of this era have basically learned this.

This is mediocre, roughly meaning that each word in each sentence of some specific styles should be based on a fixed tone, so that it will be read high-spirited, as for the tone is actually similar to the four tones of later generations, but at this time there is no such thing as four tones, and the description of tones in this era is like this:

Flat voice and flat road Mo low,

The shouts are fierce and strong,

Go to the clear mourning distance,

The sound is short and urgent.

Ping is the flat sound, and the sound is up, out and in.

As for rhyme, it's easy to understand, to put it bluntly, it is a word with the same rhyme at the end of a few sentences.

However, there is no such thing as finals in this era, and the pronunciation of Chinese characters in this era is generally marked with the straight and reverse cutting methods.

The straight pronunciation method is to use homophones or near-phonetic characters to indicate the pronunciation of the Chinese character, such as "rapid reading" and "descending reading Jiang into the sound".

The reverse cutting method is to cut the pronunciation of this word into two parts, and mark it with two words, such as "persuasion, go to the wish to cut", "lonely, ancient Hu cut".

This guy, the annotation method of pronunciation and tone in this era is really troublesome, Yang Cong subconsciously picked up the pen and smeared it on an eight-strand text.

His purpose was naturally to find out the rules of the eight strands of Wen Ping Ping and rhyme, but what he marked was not what "Ping Shang entered", nor was it a homophone or two Chinese characters with reverse cuts, but the tone symbols and finals of later generations.

This eight-strand essay is less than 500 words in total, and the main part of the text is more than 300 words at most, and it is not much time-consuming to mark it with simple symbols in later generations.

This doesn't matter much, anyway, what this kind of student wrote about Mr. Yan is the key problem, even if he makes a mess, he still can't find a special rule!

What to do?

He stared blankly at the article in front of him, lost in thought.

Looking at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, hey, this annotation method seems to be a special place, because readers in this era don't know this simple annotation method.

So, how to give full play to the advantages of this marking method and find a shortcut to the imperial examination?

Sometimes, inspiration is like a spark, it comes out in a flash, and it depends on whether you can catch it or not.

Fortunately, Yang Cong caught it, and he quickly thought of the difference between the phonetic pronunciation of Chinese characters at this time and later generations from the annotation method.

It is not easy for people in this era to sort out the plain and mediocre, they have to think about the straight or reverse syncopation of the word one by one, and then they can judge the tone of the word, and he doesn't need it, he knows the tone by reading it silently in his heart.

Also, people in this era are more troublesome to find rhyming words, because they don't have a unified vowel label, but use homophones, near-phonetic words and even reverse cut method mixed labeling, for example, the word "put" to find a rhyming word, people in this era have to think about it for a while, and Yang Cong is different, ang, help, cang, dang, fang, gang, hang, yang, talk, anti, wave, sac, the initials go all the way down, find a bunch of them in minutes.

In this way, it should not be difficult to write a set of neat and neat dual sentences!

Thinking of this, he casually opened a book of Analects next to him, found a random sentence to use as a topic, and then brushed and wrote two sentences of discussion according to his own ideas.

These two sentences are written by him in the style of tiling and directing, which definitely does not meet the requirements of the eight-strand text, but it doesn't matter, just change it.

First of all, adjust the number of words in these two sentences, so that the two sentences are divided into several small paragraphs with equal word counts, and match the word counts first.

Then, according to the grammar, add particles such as "Zhihu also" to make it look like what the ancient sages said.

Then, according to the requirements of Ping Ping, the words with the inappropriate tone are replaced.

Finally, replace the words with the same vowel where you need to rhyme.

In less than half an hour, a set of neat and neat dual sentences came out!

He read it carefully, and he really had a feeling of high spirits and frustration, and it was very similar to the words in the Analects and Mencius, even more like those written by those Xiucai.

Is that all it takes?

He couldn't help but write two more sentences, and then changed them according to the requirements of the eight-strand text, and in less than half an hour, he changed it again!

It feels like that, at least it's a pretty good read.

As for the literary style, artistic conception or something, I'm sorry, these don't seem to be at all.

However, the eight-strand essays written by these shows seem to be like this, no literary style, no artistic conception, just reading like that.

He doesn't know if this is a qualified eight-strand essay, if so, then it is developed, because it takes at least one day for others to write one, and he writes one, at most it is more than two hours, which is a huge advantage, because he can continue to change and polish the article in excess time, and it will definitely make the article go to the next level.

Perhaps, I should seriously write an eight-strand article for Mr. Yan to see, but it is not too early at this time, and if I want to write another article, it is estimated that he will not have to sleep.

No way, the dog's life is the most important, sleep, sleep, and get up early tomorrow to go to school.
