On the first day of the scientific examination, it was a light sin for everyone, and it was written in ink. Among them, the posting of scriptures is even more relaxed, which is the fill-in-the-blank question in the current exam, such as quoting a passage from the Analects: "Virtuous, Huiye!" A spoonful of food, a scoop of drink, in the alleys, people are unbearable, and they will not change their pleasures. Virtuous, back! In the middle of "Yongye", there is a paragraph where people are worried, and then the students fill it in. Moreover, it is stipulated that only the Analects will be posted this year.

Then paste a paragraph on the ten meanings of the "Book of Rites" or "The Mean", and ask the students to explain it in a short sentence. This is not difficult, but here Li Yanpu is very careful and does not stand out from the crowd. To explain with some controversial topics, then if you meet some examiners, you may take the exam in vain.

When they entered the venue, there were many students, and the later ones had to be crowded together. On the left is about a rich son, not near Mengjin, Ye Sheng doesn't know him. Wearing a satin robe, wearing a square scarf, and two pieces of beautiful jade on the side, he seems to be a rich son, and the other half of the students are very down, and the Confucian shirt is made of burlap, with a few patches on it, and he is in his thirties. A sad look on his face. It is a true portrayal of the disadvantages of the scientific examination, and many students were stunned in the end of the examination. Because they have been thinking since they were young that as long as they get fame, they will definitely get better, so they study hard, just to change their lives through the imperial examination. The test paper was sent down, and it was not difficult for Ye Sheng to glance at it. This is for him, and some students have frowned.

As usual, there are county school officials with officials to invigilate the exam.

Ye Sheng picked up the pen and began to answer the questions, filling in the blanks. The foundation of the basics, don't be too easy. It's like it's back to the atmosphere when I was taking the university entrance exam, and I was very excited, and I was just about to write and suddenly thought of what font to use?

Ye Sheng thought of another person in the Song Si family, Mi Fu. Later generations said that Su Mi Cai Huang was because of Su Dongpo's status in the literary world, so he was ranked first. There is also a saying that it is Cai Huang Sumi, the most powerful person, Zhu Xi said a word, the word was broken by Su Huang's nonsense, and I saw Cai Junmo pasted it closely, and the words have a law, such as a person who is upright, and the square is the word. In the Ming Dynasty, it was all the old Zhu family, and this kind of remarks were even more blazing.

Whether this Cai is Cai Xiang or Cai Jing, or both, has not yet been figured out.

Huang Tingjian was sad, no matter how he ranked, he didn't rank first.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Cai Xiangti gradually faded, and Su Mi Huang became the mainstream, and the later it was, the more popular it was because the rice character was the best blend of tradition and innovation in the four major families. So Dong Qichang said directly: "I tried to comment on the word rice, thinking that the Song Dynasty was the first, after all, it came from the eastern slope." That is, the book of Mi Dianshu is more self-reliant, and it has changed in his later years, and there is a strange feeling of being cold in water. ”

Mi Fu's path is also very similar to Ye Sheng's thinking. However, his road is very hard, the young Mi Fu is famous for calligraphy, but the name is not obvious. In the middle, he was influenced by five Tang people, Yan Zhenqing, Ouyang Xun, Chu Suiliang, Shen Chuanshi, and Duan Jizhan. After reaching the age of thirty, in order to find a breakthrough in calligraphy, he followed Su Dongpo's advice and visited the Jin people's Fa Tie. A year later, he got Wang Xianzhi's "Mid-Autumn Festival", which had a huge impact on him, making him feel that Wang Xizhi's words were exaggerated, and he was actually inferior to his son. But soon not satisfied with Wang Xianzhi's words, back to the head, on the basis of the two kings, absorbed some special techniques of Yan body hooking, the spicy body of the European body, the big character learning Duan Jizhan, his "unique four sides", "brush words" is derived from this. In particular, Chu Suiliang is full of changes in the pen, the structure is vivid, and the stomach of Mi Fu is combined. It was not until after the age of fifty that this process of absorption and fusion was completed, and calligraphy began to take shape.

In the previous life, he was very similar to Mi Fu's personality. The font can make Ye Sheng like it even more. In general, the rice body pursues change but does not show the marks of axe splitting and chiselling, and indulges unbridled but does not flow into fat, dull, stupid, or thin, sharp and steep. Therefore, some people say that the rice style of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Xue Shaopeng style are two precious characters. The two are different, the rice body is the style of the children of the wealthy, the sword and the horse, the conflict is the Qu, but the careful deduction, but the way to advance and retreat, the dynamic expansion is not shabby. Xue Ti is the grandson of a noble king, walking softly, taking care of his mother, and being supported by a good wife, with more elegance but less of a yin color. Stand tall and thin. And this kind of full of interest, but stable but not vulgar, dangerous but not strange, old but not dry, moist but not fat, is also easy for people of this era to accept.

The era is even further behind, and Ye Sheng has no guilt in his heart. In his previous life, Ye Sheng studied the culture of the Song Dynasty, and he had entered the master realm of calligraphy together. After lifting the pen, I will concentrate on the question. When the senior official passed by, he was attracted to it, and he didn't even dare to be born for fear of disturbing Ye Sheng. It's the brush that pauses, and I can't write such a good word anymore. I feel that the words are good, and they are very smart, and I definitely can't write such words.

Can't go out. The township test is still a provincial test, and the candidates are all isolated from the relevant officials. Meng Jin poured in so many students at once, the examination room was crowded, and the dormitory was even more crowded!

Looking at the bed, Ye Sheng couldn't help frowning, there were more than a dozen people in a room, so he had to spread out the floor, many people were snoring at night, snoring thunderously, and when he got up the next day, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't sleep well at all. Back then, I went to the mountains and went to the countryside but slept at the end of the day, and it seemed that there were too many happy days, and I was really not used to living a hard life suddenly.

The next day, I tested the poems, and Fu. The poem is not difficult, it will be written in a while. The key is Fu, and it is also the most cautious place for Ye Sheng. The memory of the two lives is a lot of benefits, and now the four or six pun movements in my mind have taken out the usable allusions in my mind. Then choose gorgeous rhetoric, how to be gorgeous, how to come. The black-faced county officials and school officials are here, looking at Ye Sheng's pen as if God helped to write such smart words and articles that make people read for a long time, they were stunned, and said that readers here may say that the bragging is boundless, and you can see the flowers when you write a word, in fact, the real reason is the limitations of history at that time, there are not so many books and articles to read, Ye Sheng used a large number of articles and gorgeous words to read during his lifetime, not to mention how profound the idea is, how many ideological connotations, light and catchy, and ornate diction amazed the ancients. It was the culmination of a millennium of culture.
