Chapter 31: Chongyang (3)
On September 7, this was the fourth day of Qin Yi's return to the academy for study. As before, in the morning, I learned how to write poetry and strategy, and in the afternoon, under the leadership of Mr. Ke, I appreciated the poems or articles of some of today's celebrities.
It's not so much about appreciation, but rather about Old Master Ke, who leads everyone in the school to observe other people's writing, so as to use it for their own use to cope with the upcoming college exam.
At the evening moment, the sound of bangzi represents the end of Qin Yi's day's class. However, Ke Zhengshan did not intend to let everyone leave: "Today's class, although it is over, but don't forget the things after class, you wait a little while, I will finish the matter!" ”
The master did not leave, and the students, even if they heard the bell for the end of class, did not dare to move much. Moreover, they also want to know what kind of after-school homework Ke Zhengshan will assign to them.
In fact, everyone, including Qin Yi, could probably guess what after-school homework Ke Zhengshan would leave for them. After all, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 is approaching, as a festival for students to practice poetry, how could Ke Zhengshan let it go?
"You don't have to come to the academy on September 9, but after September 10, you have to hand over a copy of the poem! Its content should be related to the Chung Yeung Festival! ”
Sure enough, what Ke Zhengshan said was consistent with what Qin Yi and others had guessed.
"Besides, you don't have to come to the academy after September 15, until October 1st, when the college exams are held. During this period, you will have to study the poetic rhythm and the Commentary on the Treatise on Strategy. ”
The last sentence he said was beyond the scope of everyone's speculation. This is equivalent to the same meaning that Qin Yi had a holiday on the eve of the college entrance examination in his previous life, and he reviewed at home.
Everyone naturally understands how important this period of time will be to them. They don't know the questions of the academy exam, but they know the types of questions - poems, strategies, fill-in-the-blank questions in the subset of scriptures and history, etc. Whether it is poetry or strategy, they all pay attention to a realm. The realm of these two is naturally not the same meaning.
Poetry pays attention to the artistic conception under the imagination, and the meaning will be greater than the literal meaning, to put it bluntly, the poetry must be full of emotion. Where do emotions come from? Only by truly experiencing the bits and pieces of life can it be possible to make good poems, so this holiday is to experience life. Of course, this is different for Qin Yi. After all, he has the poetry resources of his previous life.
As for the policy, it is related to the political, economic and other social life of the town. This point, whether it is Qin Yi or Zheng Ping, must be taken seriously. After all, this is also their first formal writing strategy, and if they fail the college exam, then the days to come will be sad.
Even a child of a famous family like Zheng Ping had to devote himself to the imperial examination at this critical moment.
In fact, the difficulty of the imperial examination in this world is far beyond Qin Yi's imagination. If you want to glorify your ancestors and get ahead, you can't do it without real talent.
After the college examination, the joint examination, and after the joint examination, the county examination. In fact, those who pass the county examination can have the opportunity to serve as town-level officials, but these people are very few.
Back at home, Qin Yi began to plan some things. Tomorrow only needs to go to the school for half a day, and the rest of the time is at his disposal.
"Father, the day after tomorrow I'm going to Xining Pavilion to participate in a poetry meeting, maybe I won't be able to eat at home that day!"
Qin Yi naturally remembered Liu Ruyan's invitation, and he felt guilty in his heart, so he agreed that day.
"It was convened by Liu Ruyan, who was full of flowers, and she had already sent invitations to some people in the academy!"
While eating dinner, Qin Yi took out Liu Ruyan's red invitation and handed it to his parents. The Wenhui was scheduled for three o'clock on September 9, which meant that Qin Yi might not go home all day. Therefore, he had to inform his parents so that the second elder would not worry.
"Go ahead, just remember to come back early!" Qin Buxian naturally understood what such a literary meeting meant, "This is also useful for you, and if you participate in the literary meeting, people will know your reputation." In this way, in the future, through the imperial examination, whether it is to worship the general and become a marquis, or to become someone else's staff, you will be able to have a certain degree of certainty. ”
In his opinion, participating in the cultural conference means spreading fame. On top of the literary meeting, showing your talent is the right way.
Although Liu Ruyan is a woman in the Qinglou, she has a very high reputation, at least the entire Xining Town and even the towns within a radius of hundreds of miles know her. The scale of the literary meeting convened by her must be very large, and the people who come must be young talents from the surrounding towns for hundreds of miles.
This kind of thing is the most able to reflect the talent of a student, which is the so-called meeting friends with literature, everyone gathers in a literary meeting, admires the flowers and the moon, recites poems, and wins a smile from beauties, which is the most merry and happy thing.
Therefore, the cultural club is a good activity to spread the reputation of a student, but anyone who has some thoughts is extremely important.
Throughout the history of the Xia Dynasty, since the establishment of the imperial examination system, there have been thousands of literary associations, and which of those famous talents in the world did not participate in the literary society to accumulate fame and achieve a career? But the accumulation of fame also requires a blockbuster moment!
In ancient times, Fan Wenzheng, a policy treatise "Thirteen Things about Nongsang", was famous for the Nongsang Wenhui held by the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry at that time, thus reforming the agricultural mulberry system of the entire Xia Dynasty, and his people were also reused by the emperor; Recently, there is Yue Wumu, a "Wumu Book", famous Shangwu Academy New Year's Meeting, so that the dynasty blew the wind of martial arts, the enemy foreign countries heard the wind and did not dare to invade, and his people also later became generals, in charge of the military and government of a dynasty.
Qin Yi also knew these things. He understood his father's thoughts, and at the same time, Qin Yi himself also had such a meaning. If he wants to take the road of the imperial examination, so as to glorify his ancestors, he can't avoid it, and he has to deal with some young talents.
In other words, even if Qin Yi really enters the officialdom in the future, he will have to have some contact with a famous family like the Zheng family or some other prestigious families. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Qin Yi to gain a foothold.
As the saying goes, those who have been officials for a long time are often not those who are upright, but those who are sleek and black-and-white.
This sentence is not only applicable to the world of Qin Yi's previous life, but also applicable in this world. If Qin Yi wants to survive in this world, he must have such a character, and all of this must be cultivated in the literary society.
Qin Yi understands that after the Chongyang Festival on September 9, he will have something to do with many families, and he will no longer be alone.
Perhaps, some famous families look down on Qin Yi, but perhaps, some prominent families will favor Qin Yi because of his poetic talent.
But no matter what, Qin Yi has to face these situations.
