On the central axis, there are five buildings: the shadow wall, the gate, the Kui Pavilion Building, the lobby, and the back building.
The plan of the Gongyuan is square, and the main building is composed of two groups of buildings.
The Gongyuan building complex is the layout of the central axis facing north and south, with five main buildings, including the shadow wall, the gate, the Kuige building, the lobby and the back building, the building form of symmetry between east and west, the scale is grand and the momentum is magnificent.
Sitting in the north and facing south, it is the main buildings such as the shadow wall, the gate, the second gate, the Kuige house, the lobby, the second hall, the back building, etc., and the original martial arts hall on the east side, Wenchang Palace, harem and other buildings.
Each building is a courtyard by itself, and there are some ancillary buildings built more or less between the courtyards according to the needs of use, and there are also military rooms outside the gate, deacon's honor guard room, etc., and the whole building layout is open and relaxed, rich in changes.
The building is fronted by a mountain. Kui Pavilion is in the south of the house, the spire is accumulated in the middle, and the two sides are lowered in turn, forming a peculiar appearance, which has become the outstanding feature of the Dingzhou Gongyuan. The two-story attic in the Kui Pavilion is a place dedicated to the "Kui Xing". The lobby is next to the north of the number building, where the candidates hand in the papers and the examiners seal the papers. The back building is the place where the examiner watches the martial arts competition, which doubles as accommodation.
The academy examination is a kind of examination that must be taken first in order to obtain the qualification to participate in the formal imperial examination, also known as the 'child examination', which is presided over by the provincial governor and the school official, and the examiner is called a student, commonly known as Xiucai or Xianggong.
At the door, there are several cases, and after each case, there are two officials in yamen uniforms who are screening candidates from various provinces in the famous book.
The number of admissions in the first field is one double of the number of talents who should be selected, and it is announced in a circle, with the seat number written without the name, and it is called the 'draft'. After the second re-examination, the seals were opened, the names were written, and the children who passed the hospital examination were called 'students', commonly known as 'Xiucai', which was regarded as having 'fame'.
enter the scholarly class; There are privileges such as exemption from errands, not kneeling in the county, and not being punished casually.
Xiucai is divided into three grades, and the best grades are called "endowments", and the government pays grain on a monthly basis.
secondly, it is called "proliferation", which does not provide food, and there is a certain quota for "endowment" and "proliferation"; The third is "attached students", that is, attached students who have just entered the school.
In the name of each person in the register, the place of origin, the history of the three generations, the age, and the appearance are all confirmed in advance by the insurance stamp, or must be signed by the person, which is more cautious than the prefectural and county examinations, in order to prevent fraud such as substitute examinations and fraudulent examinations.
The formalities that need to be done before the exam are all completed, and the children have walked up and folded a small branch and pinned it to the belt.
In ancient times, the imperial examination high school was called "the laurel in the middle of the month", and phonetically, the gui was "expensive", and everyone was asking for good luck.
Kui Pavilion is the main building of the Tribute Academy, seven rooms wide, nine rooms deep, is the formal place of the examination, can accommodate hundreds of people, the southernmost Kui Pavilion is a semi-quadrangular pointed structure.
The ridge of the hall is stacked with four layers of eaves, the wing angle of the upturned is like a bird like a wing, like a wing like flying, the structure is rigorous and complex, and the number house in the form of the roof of the hard mountain roll shed with three eaves is connected, and the structure is unique and unique.
After Lewen entered the examination room, he looked at the number room, and the two layers of wooden planks were staggered before and after, the upper plank was in front, the lower plank was in the back, and the wooden board below was a bench.
The wooden board on the top is a table case, and the brick walls on the two walls are between one or two feet from the ground, and the upper and lower brick supports are built to place the upper and lower wooden boards on it, which is very general.
Not long after sitting on the bench, someone soon brought the exam supplies in a basket and sent them over, Le Wen took it and thanked him, and began to arrange and pack it up, and soon the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were ready.
Generally speaking, a standard eight-strand essay is about 800 words, which is composed of eight parts: breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting to speak, starting, starting shares, middle shares, back shares, and bundle shares.
For intermediate students, they only need to write four parts: solving the question, undertaking the topic, starting the lecture, and starting the question. Breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, and starting the lecture are the conceptual parts of an article.
Beginning is the beginning of the lecture, and it is the key to inheriting the context. Generally speaking, after reading the book for two years, there is no problem in writing this part. However, the latter part should be discussed in large sections from the beginning, which is not something that an ordinary student can grasp. If you don't have a certain level of cultural literacy and a certain foundation in writing, even if you write it strongly, it will be scribbled.
There is a topic, one is "Yongye Chapter" from the "Analects" in "Yuan Gong asked: "Which disciple is easy to learn?" Confucius said: "Those who have a good face are studious, do not get angry, do not make mistakes, and unfortunately die in a short life." Now it is also dead, and there are no good scholars. ”
The other is "Teng Wen Gongshang", from "Mencius" "Mencius said: "The prince of the son will be benevolent, choose to make the son, and the son will be reluctant!" The husband is benevolent and the government must start from the meridian boundary.
The meridian boundary is not right, the well is not good, and the valley is uneven, so the tyrant and the oblique officials will slow down their meridian boundary. The meridian boundary is correct, and the division of the field can be determined. ".
These two questions are small questions, that is, a few words from a complete sentence for you to essay. If you don't know the meaning of this complete sentence, you can't put pen to paper.
That is, to find a sentence from the four books, cut off the upper and lower parts, and turn it into a few words with incomplete meaning. Then ask the test taker to make up the sentence in their minds and elaborate according to the meaning of the sentence.
In order to do this kind of question, candidates must first be very familiar with the Confucian classics, and find that these two questions are the sentence in the book.
If you can't even find the source of this question, you don't need to take this exam.
Therefore, in a sense, the college examination is the rote memorization of children.
And these two sentences are also famous sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention the readers of this era, even if Lewen has been a student of ancient literature and literature, he is also familiar with it.
For Lewen, these two questions are really not challenging, if he is asked to do it, just find two sample essays from his head and copy them, and he can finish them in a moment.
"It seems that the hospital test is still a lot more difficult than the government test." Lewen pinched his chin, sharpened the ink, picked up the pen and wrote on the scratch paper.
"Poem" cloud: "Banggi is thousands of miles, but the people stop." "Poem" cloud: "The barbaric yellow bird stops at the corner of the hill." ”
Zi said: "Yu Zhi, know what it stops, can people not be as good as birds?" "Poem" cloud: "King Mu Muwen, Yu Jixi respectfully." ”
Be a king, stop at benevolence; To be a minister, stop at respect; As a son of man, he ends in filial piety; To be a father is to be kind; Friendship with the people of the country ends with faith.
Zi said: "Listen to the lawsuit, I Jews also; and there will be no lawsuits! "The ruthless must not do their part, and they are afraid of the people's will. This is called Zhiben.
The so-called people who govern the country in the world: the elderly, and the people are filial piety; The upper is long, and the people are prosperous; The upper compassion is lonely, and the people are not doubled.
It is also a gentleman's way of being virtuous. What is evil is from above, and there is no need to make it down; What is evil is below, and there is no matter in the matter.
The evil is in the first place, not in the first order; What is evil is in the after, not in the past; What is evil to the right is not to be handed over to the left; What is evil on the left, not on the right. This is called the way of the order.
Lewen took a breath and calmed down, he knew that whether it was speed or article, he couldn't compare to the ancients.
If you want to get a good ranking in this exam, you have to attract the attention of the student in calligraphy.
Jonny said: "The gentleman is moderate, and the villain violates the mean." The reason why Jun Yu is moderate is because the gentleman can be moderate at any time, and there is no fault; The reason why the villain violates the mean is because the villain is unscrupulous and goes to extremes. ”
The draft has been typed, and there is no need to revise it. Even if you want to, you don't know where to start.
So, he picked up his pen and glued the ink and began to transcribe.
Those who are sincere in their intentions do not deceive themselves. Such as a foul smell, such as lustful, this is called self-humility. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious of his solitude!
The villain is not good at idleness, he does everything, and when he sees the gentleman, he is disgusted, and he covers up his badness and focuses on his goodness. What good is it for a man to look at himself if he sees his lungs and liver? This is said to be sincere in the middle, and the form is outside, so the gentleman must be cautious of his independence
The scholar looked at Lewen who fell to the end, and said in his heart: "It is indeed very difficult for a poor child to study and enter the ranks, the most important thing is that he can't find a good teacher to guide and teach, this Lewen's article is written so slowly, it is obviously untrained." ”
Because the college exams are all vague, the Nati academic officer didn't know Le Wen, so he took his paper and glanced at it, and was about to put it aside, but when he took the paper handed over by Le Wen, he just glanced at it, and his eyes lit up......
