Chapter 34: Honest People and Honest Essays (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Sun Dan secretly regretted in his heart, regretting that he should not have grabbed the places in those county exams to be in the limelight. But if you don't grab this place, you won't be able to take the county exam, and you have to find another way to find someone to vouch for, which is very troublesome. It's strange that Huang Hongxian, a Qing Dynasty pedant, is too old and spicy and familiar, and it is deep to read, and it is not written by a young man at first glance.

Mr. Li is an exam expert, he has read more papers, and he has written more than he has eaten, and his eyes are very vicious, how can he not see the abnormality.

Hey, this is still an article that is not eye-catching, if it is replaced by a famous masterpiece, I don't know what the situation will be.

However, if you admit that it is plagiarism, I am afraid that if the county tries to soak in the soup, I will really become a villain in Li Meiting's mind. If you have a bad reputation, what future can you talk about, and how can you get ahead?

After thinking for a moment, Sun Dan had a plan in his heart, looked at Li Meiting with sincere eyes, and said, "Sir, this article is indeed written by a student. However, the format and reasoning in the article are Mr. Wang Wei's. The students have always admired Mr. Wang, and they happened to have read a similar article from him, which happened to be the same as today's exam questions, so they copied one piece based on Wang Ge's masterpiece. If the student knows that he is wrong, he asks the gentleman to punish him. ”

"Otherwise, if you copy a lot of articles in the world, it depends on whether you can copy them or not." Li Meiting waved his hand: "Being able to copy, being able to copy is also a kind of ability." So, you show me that article. If it's what you say, I don't blame you. If you can copy the traces, wait for my wrench. ”

Sun Dan was sweating heavily when he heard this, he never expected Mr. Li to say such a thing. However, when I think that this Mr. Li is an examination machine, it is understandable.

In fact, as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Dan immediately understood the meaning of Mr. Li's words: plagiarism is not allowed, it involves a person's character and reputation, and once he is caught, he must be severely punished. But following the trend is different, just like for a period of time, there were TV series with the theme of spy wars broadcast one after another, and many TV series have the same theme, era background, and character settings, and even the stories are very similar, it is impossible to say that those TV series plagiarized each other, right? Besides, that's all there is to the title of the eight-strand text, and that's also the method and format. There are more people who write, and it is inevitable that the car will crash.

Sun Dan: "The article written by Wang Ge Lao was read by me from a manuscript in the market, but the student has a good memory and has memorized it. If the teacher wants to listen to it, the student immediately recites it. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to it."

"Yes." Sun Dan cleared his throat and memorized the short article word for word.

Wang Che was a cabinet scholar in the first year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, and went home to retire after four years of Zhengde. It is a famous article of this era that Sun Dan has traveled to. Sun Dan has a book of "Zhenze Collection" written by him, which collects more than 40 articles and eight strands of literary masterpieces.

Because he was a contemporary, Sun Dan naturally didn't dare to copy him. However, there is an article with the same name as the question in today's monthly exam. Anyway, the gossip essay is like that, but it is composed according to a fixed format around a sentence in the "Four Books", and it looks similar.

Of course, Wang Ge's writing is much more beautiful, and it is not comparable to Huang Hongxian's old pedant.

This article is only less than 800 words together, but every word is fine, listening to it, Li Meiting actually closed his eyes.

When Sun Dan read the last sentence, Mr. Li opened his eyes suddenly and shouted, "Okay!" 'Those who are wise in the world will have a precedent. That is, to look at it, and the study of self-cultivation is not the great foundation of the world. 'Wang Gelao's article is really more if you add one word, and subtract one word less. Sun Dan, speaking of which, your article is a good imitation, and it is well explained from another aspect according to the meaning of the elder of the pavilion. It's not bad that the famous Shi Wen can copy your level. ”

Sun Dan breathed a sigh of relief, this level has finally passed. Fortunately, Baguwen is the same as the kind of government work report in later generations, with a thousand faces, all clichés, which are very easy to imitate. Otherwise, it's really hard to fool Old Master Li over. Moreover, Li Meiting, a disciple of Xinxue, doesn't seem to be a serious Confucian student, listening to what he says, even if it is plagiarism, as long as he is not caught, he can copy out the level, and he can be promoted, it is not a big deal.

In their words, it's called "flexibility."

casually praised Sun Dan, Li Meiting suddenly said: "Your article is really not very good, dull and bland, and it looks like chewing wax to read." This kind of text, I feel annoyed when I look at it more. ”

Sun Dan: "Mr.'s lesson is that when students just learn to write Shiwen, they have no rhetoric, they can only write honestly according to the format, and if they can write the meaning clearly, they will be Amitabha." Huang Hongxian, a Qing Dynasty pedant, wrote something that was actually criticized by Li Meiting, which made Sun Dan a little puzzled. He is also a jinshi anyway, and what he writes is a bit of a standard.

It seems that it is not that what Huang Jinshi wrote is not successful, but that the level of scholars in the Ming Dynasty is generally very high. Wang Shouren, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Zhang Dai are as radiant as the stars in the sky. In the Qing Dynasty, it seems that there has never been such a person.

This is still famous, and I don't know how many scholars are not famous.

I have seen a lot of masterpieces, and the article copied by Sun Dan that was able to be a jinshi during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty is just a middle-to-lower posture in the eyes of Mr. Li.

However, Sun Dan is low-key and doesn't want to attract attention. With Li Meiting's evaluation, he was very satisfied. I was about to bow my head and listen to the teachings, and say something like asking my husband for advice. Li Meiting's next sentence surprised him.

"However, you can copy other people's articles like this, which is also a skill. The imperial examination is a stepping stone, as long as you pass the exam, you can throw it away. In this year's county examination, according to my speculation on the test papers of previous years, if nothing else, the scope of the questions should be on the "Analects", and when the time comes, I will draft more than a dozen questions, and everyone will do it. It's not that I, Li, boast about it, although I don't hit it, it's not far away. If you really have this ability, it will be easy to pass the county test. However, what kind of level you are, I also have countless in my heart. In this way, I just got an article about Shi Peng in Chenghua University, you can read it first, and then copy one. If you really have the ability, I will ask you to show off your talent in this year's exam. ”

After taking the article, Sun Dan felt a little annoyed in his heart.

Li Meiting is also very good at playing questions, Sun Dan has thousands of model articles in his head, and he can easily pass the test without Mr. Li's guarantee. Now it's a waste of time to ask yourself to write an eight-strand essay. If you delay yourself to see Zhiniang, this holiday will be ruined.

The title of the article is "If a gentleman is not important, he is not prestigious, he is not solid in learning, the Lord is faithful, and those who have no friends are not as good as themselves, do not be afraid to change them"

From the Analects.

The Analects is a classic of Confucianism, and examiners like to choose from it.

In order not to perform too well, Sun Dan decided to copy a copy from the Qing Dynasty Bagu text. After thinking for a while, he picked up his pen and wrote: "A gentleman is a gentleman who learns, and he must do his best."

If the quality is not dignified, what you have learned must not be solid. But if the road is not finished, how can it be accomplished?"

This is a current article written by Zhang Tingyu, the minister of the study in the Kangxi year.

Zhang Daxue was the compiler of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and it is said that he was a person of high level. But he is cautious, but he does not leak a drop of water in his writing, it is all empty words and clichés, and he makes people drowsy. Moreover, Zhang Tingyu's eight-strand essay is more similar to what Peng Shi wrote. It is estimated that Lao Zhang will also read this article written by Peng Shi in the future and be inspired. Sun Dan just used it to deal with Li Meiting.

"You don't need to write it, it's really ...... imitation" Mr. Li shook his head again and again: "Such a text, such an article...... No way to see it. ”

Sun Dan suddenly became a little ashamed: "Please teach Mr. a lesson." ”

Li Meiting: "You kid is really hateful, writing the article so boring is also a means, if I were an examiner, I would want to bombard you out of the examination room just by looking at it." But I can't find a reason, not only that, but I have to give you a first-class. Li Meiting looked helpless.

Sun Dan continued to sweat profusely: "Sun Dan was born in a poor family, he hasn't read much, and the ink in his stomach is limited, so he can only be an honest person and write honest essays." ”

"What an honest person, write honest essays!" Li Meiting smiled: "How can the person who can write this kind of stupid and dead article also be a scholar who has read for many years, where did you go to school before entering the Sun family, who did you learn from, and which teacher taught you as a good student?" ”

"Mr. Qiyu, the student has never read before, and he only began to learn to read and write after entering the Sun family school."

"You only became literate after entering the clan school, why haven't I seen you before?"

"Mr. Yu, the student only entered the academy seven days ago."

"What, seven days will be literate and compose?" Li Meiting's face changed greatly, he was holding a manuscript, when he heard this, his hand trembled, and the manuscript fell to the ground. His forehead was full of green tendons: "Sun Dan, what nonsense are you talking about, you actually came to coax me?" ”
