Chapter 56 Learning the Art of Crafting

Since it is possible to win the lift and make progress in the scientific examination, Shen Ze is still very concerned about his future! He said he wanted to start studying, and he immediately put it into practice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the morning, Shen Ze went to take leave with Governor Zhang, and in the afternoon, he asked Yang Fengrang to start teaching himself to learn to do Bagu Wen.

Shen Ze is the criminal master of Governor Zhang, and only when he encounters a difficult case, Governor Zhang will consult him.

In fact, there are not many cases accepted by the government. Generally, cases in the counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture are accepted by the county government offices, and difficult and strange cases rarely happen, such as when Governor Zhang was still the county magistrate this year, the kind of situation that happened twice a month was very rare. As for the difficult cases that need to be handled by the government, there are naturally even fewer. Therefore, Shen Ze is actually very idle in the government.

Now in the government office, there is no chat friend like Cao Dianshi in the county government, who can put the dragon gate and Kan Dashan together, and Shen Ze's leisure has become boring.

So, Shen Ze applied to Governor Zhang, saying that now that the township test is approaching, he wants to go home and study more. If Governor Zhang's mansion needs him for something, he can send a servant to call him at any time.

Anyway, Shen Ze has nothing to do in the government office, and besides, Governor Zhang's mansion is busy fighting with the government office, and he doesn't care about what case to try now, so he naturally agrees casually to Shen Ze's request.

…………

In the afternoon, in Shen Ze's big study, there was the voice of Yang Feng teaching the eight-strand craft.

"The most important thing is the eight-strand system. It can be said that this scientific examination mainly depends on the level of these eight strands. The so-called Bagu Wen is actually a kind of style with a fixed format, which originated from the "Tijing" of the Song Dynasty and was used as a form of art for scientific research in this dynasty. These eight strands need to be composed of eight parts: breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the stock, middle share, back share, and bundle share.

However, the reason why this kind of art article is called Baguwen does not mean that this Jingyi article is divided into eight parts, so it is called Baguwen. It is because the body part of this Jingyi article, that is, the four parts of the starting stock, the middle share, the back share, and the bundle of shares, must have two strands of dual text in each part, adding up to a total of eight strands, so it is called Bagu Wen, also called 'Babi Wen'. ”

"Oh, I see, the eldest brother has been taught, Shouyue, you go on." Shen Ze really thought that the reason why this article format was called Baguwen was because it was divided into eight parts, such as solving the topic and undertaking the topic!

Yang Feng only listened to his eldest brother's teachings before, and he had never had this experience of preaching to his eldest brother, and it was rare that his eldest brother also had something he didn't understand to ask for advice from him, which made Yang Feng feel really good, and he was very hard at explaining.

"The eight-strand article made during this scientific expedition is actually a statement on behalf of the saint, and it must be written in the tone of the saint, and this article must naturally be rigorous, and the saint must not be blasphemed with allusions. As for the quality of these eight strands, a very important point to watch is whether the eight dual sentences can be brilliant. You have to write your own opinions, but you also have to use accurate words, and you can't rhyme! In fact, it is written here, it is similar to the Han Fu prose, the eldest brother's poetry is unique, and it is not bad compared to the Fu, and the eldest brother should have an advantage in this regard. ”

Shen Ze Khan, when did he end up with poetry? Shen Ze really wanted to ask himself if he borrowed a total of three poems, how did Yang Feng see that his poems were unique?! However, obviously now is not the time to pursue these details, and it is important to listen to Yang Feng explain the eight strands first.

Shen Ze listens to these eight strands, isn't it so difficult to do? There is no too strict format for breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting the lecture, and entering the question, just using the literary language to explain your own views on the topic.

Of course, Shen Ze's request is only to be able to make an eight-strand essay, if you want the article to be brilliant, this problem solving and undertaking is very important.

This undertaking and breaking of the topic is equivalent to the central idea of this eight-strand article. The quality of an article and the central idea are extremely crucial.

But for people like Shen Ze who have very low requirements and only need to make a well-formatted eight-strand essay, the difficulty lies in the last four parts. Because of the next four parts, each part must have a row of dual sentences. These dual sentences must be rhymed with each other, which is quite difficult for Shen Ze.

In fact, Shen Ze in later generations can also be regarded as a "high-level student" who graduated from the Chinese Department, and he is also more interested in ancient poetry, and if he really wants to make a few poems that rhyme, he can also do a few poems. However, the poems he made can only be regarded as stiff rhymes, and as for the connotation and meaning, they are lackluster, and there is really no merit.

And if Shen Ze wants to make the eight row comparison dual sentences in the article, there is still a difficulty. That is, the official dialects of all dynasties and dynasties are different, and the rhythm used in writing poems and lyrics is naturally different. Like the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yun was used, and the Song Dynasty was Guangyun. As for the later generations, Shen Ze learned the new Chinese rhyme based on Mandarin, which is different from the Pingshui rhyme that is generally recognized by the Ming Dynasty today.

Shen Ze felt that if he wanted to win the autumn season this year, he must at least understand the Pingshui rhyme used in the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the "eight ratios" in this Jingyi article will not be able to do well. Fortunately, although there have been changes in the rhyme books of these different eras, they are still generally the same, and it should not be too difficult to master.

Although Shen Ze thought about it a lot, in fact, it took a few breaths of effort, and at this time, Yang Feng, who was "a good teacher", was still talking there.

"In fact, in the township examination, only the four book questions and the five scripture questions need to be in the eight-strand text format, as for the other examinations, edicts, judgments, tables, edicts, policies, etc., there are fixed formats, as long as you don't commit taboos, you will basically not be degraded because of those articles. In fact, compared with the four-book questions, the five-book questions are also a grade lower, so as long as the four-book questions are colorful, they can basically be Chinese. ”

Shen Ze listened to Yang Feng's words, and couldn't help but feel more confident in this course.

In fact, there is nothing too difficult to talk about the eight-strand essay, in the final analysis, the eight-strand essay is a format for writing argumentative essays. This format is not too difficult to master. For others, the content of this article is the key to winning the game.

But for Shen Ze, it was different, he felt that as long as he learned the format of these eight strands, and then he would deal with the five scripture questions in a decent eight-strand essay, he should basically be fine.

Uh, of course, that four-book question must be brilliant, Shen Ze felt that it was impossible to do it on his own, although he knew the exam questions, he would definitely not be able to do a good article. He had already decided to find a master to make a gun at that time, and prepared this four-book title and eight-strand essay in advance.

As for who to find to make the gun, I haven't figured it out yet! If there is really no suitable person, just look for Zhang Zhifu, the bad guy is also from the two lists of Jinshi, and he should still be able to do a good job of doing a township test.

Now there is still one last difficulty, that is, I still need to memorize all the five classics and understand the meaning according to the official commentaries. Otherwise, when people come up with a topic, you don't even know the source and meaning, why make a fuss?

Thinking of this, Shen Ze couldn't help but hurriedly go to the bookshelf in the study to find the scriptures of the Five Classics, he wanted to see if it was possible for him to memorize these scriptures. These scriptures are all written in Chinese, and they are obscure, and in a few months, I memorize all five books, and I am afraid that this task is also a little difficult.

Shen Ze went to the bookshelf to look for a long time, and only found a copy of "Spring and Autumn" and a few commentaries of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other four scriptures were not available at all.

"Shouyue, do you have four other scriptures besides the Spring and Autumn Period?"

Yang Feng looked at Shen Ze with a strange expression and said, "Big brother, what are you looking for those scriptures?" ”

"Well, didn't you forget it, big brother? Don't you hurry up and review this scripture! Shen Ze actually wanted to say: I want to see how many words there are in these Five Classics.

"Then you don't have to review it all, just look at the eldest brother's scriptures."

"Hmm...... This scripture? What is this scripture? ”

Yang Feng Khan ...... It turns out that his eldest brother's head is really hurt, and I don't know what this scripture means?! This is the Mengtong who has just entered school, I'm afraid I know it too, right?!

Shen Ze saw Yang Feng's strange face, and knew that he was afraid that the question he asked was too low, so he hurriedly made up for it: "Well, actually, big brother, I want to ask, what is my scripture?" ”

"Uh...... Big brother's scripture is "Spring and Autumn"! ”

Yang Feng said in his heart: Don't wait for the eldest brother to ask, I'll tell him about this scripture quickly.

At that moment, Yang Feng had to spend a lot of saliva to let Shen Ze understand the matter of this scripture.

It turned out that this township test was conducted in separate rooms according to each candidate's scriptures. There are indeed five questions in these five scriptures, but candidates do not need to do every one, they only need to do their own scriptures.

Shen Ze, who understood it, felt that this had lightened a lot of tasks for himself, and the "Spring and Autumn" had the smallest number of words in the Five Classics, only about 10,000 words, and it should be no problem for him to memorize it in a few months.

Thinking of this, Shen Ze was quite happy in his heart, it seemed that it was not difficult for him to take the exam.
