Chapter 81: Xiao Fang's Talent
There are only three questions in the palace examination, one for each of the poems, fu, and treatises, and the examination time is half a day, and the list is issued one month after the palace examination. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Rows of Nanmu Gong tables more than two feet high are arranged in a standard single-table style
- In fact, it doesn't matter if it's a single person and a single table, the questions of the palace exam are all subjective, and there is almost no possibility of copying each other on the spot in front of everyone's eyes, but it is more convenient for candidates to take Mobao and dry some papers.
Since the Renzong Dynasty, students are generally not dethroned in the palace examination, but it is not without pressure, the Jinshi and the first are completely different from the same Jinshi background, and many people would rather retake the exam than use this inferior status to start if they fall into the same Jinshi background.
Of course, if you rank first in the examination, you don't have to worry about falling into the same Jinshi background, you will take the first exam, if there is no one in the top three in the hall examination, you can defend yourself.
But after all, it is safer not to fall into the time of self-presentation, or to grasp the present. Fang Zhongyong didn't dare to slack off at all.
The grading of the examination papers of the temple examination is theoretically divided into five grades, but in essence it is divided into three grades.
"Those who are superior in knowledge, outstanding and special, and unparalleled are set as first-class." In practice, the first class has been vacant, only as a direction and symbol of people's efforts, which means an otherworldly yearning.
"Those who are able to learn well, have thorough literature and science, and can be regarded as a higher class in the group, are designated as second-class." In the Northern Song Dynasty, there are only a handful of second-class hall test papers, which are as few as the morning star, but they are a top ranking in reality.
To become a second-class, the poetry foundation is at least Su Dongpo's start, there is no cap, and the writing is the same as Sima Xiangru, and the discussion must have the pen power of Wang Jinggong.
Although it has passed through from later generations, the time to wear it has reached this era of literary heyday, and good poems have been written by the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of Tian Khan.
"Those who can be adopted in the art industry and are proficient in arts and sciences are set as third-class", that is, self-justification, the things that are played on the spot do not fall off the level, and the third-class examination papers are given to the Jinshi background, and the general proportion accounts for about forty percent of the palace examination tribute students.
The fourth class is the remaining sixty percent of the candidates who were born as Jinshi, the so-called "art industry is slightly inferior, and the arts and sciences are rough". Once it is classified as a Jinshi of Citong, the chances of a future comeback are very small.
As for the fifth-class "sloppy literature and science, fallacy and vulgarity", to be set as a fifth-class is to be dethroned, but the Renzong Dynasty has become a formality. Even in the Northern Song Dynasty, only Taizu Taizong, when the situation of the imperial examination had not stabilized, did this level appear in the palace examination.
Therefore, the more realistic plan should be to protect the third class and rush the second class.
Fang Zhongyong determined the goal, picked up the pen, carefully reviewed the topic, and thought about the SCI paper that he had seen in his previous life to study the characteristics of the Song Dynasty palace examination poems, and slowly conceived and searched in his heart.
According to the research of later generations, the assignment is the most important one of the three articles of the palace examination, because the examiner and the final clapper of the palace examination are the emperor, so most of the excellent works of the palace examination are full of flowers, praise and satirical decent, and the works with good literature and science.
Compared with making a good poem that is shocking in the constraints of the scene, or a current affairs strategy that is to the point and has something to say, it is relatively less difficult to make a good poem.
Fang Zhongyong originally wanted to follow the trend and choose one of the excellent works of the palace examination handed down from later generations.
But because the title is "The Fu of the Border People", for some reason, in Fang Zhongyong's mind, the first thing that rushed out was the "Paralytic Travel Text" that Wang Yangming wrote farewell to the dead border people in the miasma after he was demoted to the Longchang Station.
It is a moving work, which made Fang Zhongyong in his previous life cry when he read it late at night, and it is also a masterpiece full of true feelings about the life of the border people.
After thinking about it, Fang Zhongyong picked up the pen, blurred the ink, and began to make a draft on the four layers of white rice paper that the palace test was autocratic.
This work is based on the style of singing praises and virtues according to routines, but is mainly touching and profound.
At this time, Fang Zhongyong naturally didn't know that Zhao Zhen, who was behind the curtain, had been carefully studying his direction for a long time:
Fang Zhongyong turned out to be so young, and he was still alive, which is really a sign of beauty. Zhao Zhen smiled secretly in his heart, and it didn't seem to match the image of the Supreme Treasure that he imagined, which was a bit of a monkey.
The birth is very elegant, and the demeanor of the ministers is full. The sideburns are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the bridge of the nose is crisp, and the heavenly court is full. Yes, the appearance is unforgettable.
……
In the military tent of Liu Ping, the deputy commander-in-chief of the infantry army and the deputy commander of Huanqing, Zhang Jie was drinking and chatting with Liu Ping.
Liu Ping and Zhang Jie's father, Zhang Kang, can be said to be the same kind of person. Although Liu Ping was born in the Liu family of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was born as a genuine imperial examination jinshi. In his early years, he was an official, and he took the route of a pure civil official, which was appreciated by the famous minister Kou Zhun of the Northern Song Dynasty and recommended as the history of Luzhou Thorn.
This Luzhou, located in the southeast of Shu, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Yunnan junction, ethnic complex, rebellion continuous, Liu Ping after his arrival, it is said that he embodied a very good military ability, put down several local Yi riots, meritorious return to Beijing.
However, due to disagreement with the first minister at that time, Ding Wei, he was expelled from the capital, and since then he has taken root in the Northwest Army and has never returned to Beijing.
Liu Ping, who was born in Jiangmen and rooted in the Western Army, seems to have the only problem that he is not so nervous about the Western Xia people, or rather, he doesn't take it seriously at all.
We are the rich and beautiful Great Song Dynasty, where you don't in Western Xia, you live by our years and fields, what capital do you have to compete with us.
Zhang Jie's trip brought Zhang Kang's family letter, at that time, Zhang Kang had a keen insight into the situation in Western Xia, thousands of miles away.
And then the eggs. Liu Yanei doesn't think so. He quickly put the letter away, and just greeted Zhang Jie warmly.
Not far away, on the other side, Li Yuanhao was taking advantage of the civil strife in Tibet to calmly reorganize the army, and to draw experience and nourishment from the war with the Uighurs and Tibet. He hired a large number of down-and-out Han students as think tanks, reorganized the organization, and practiced the art of war.
Nowadays, the army of Western Xia is not only expanding in numbers, but gradually breaking away from the barbarian era and the model of nomadic cavalry, and has begun to classify military branches.
However, Liu Ping didn't have the slightest concern for the information that was available in front of him.
On the military ability and sense of responsibility of Comrade Liu Ping, a son of a veteran general, 300 words of bad comments are omitted below.
……
After Fang Zhongyong drew up the draft paper, he began to transcribe it to the regular test paper, and the whole regular test paper was divided into 16 pages, two plain pages, three to eight poems were written, and the last eight were written strategies.
There should be no defacements, mistakes or omissions on the test paper, so be extra careful when transcribing, and if you are not careful, you must rewrite it completely.
After writing the fu, he began to turn to poetry. The titles of the Song Dynasty palace test poems are mostly in the classic historical books. In fact, this kind of topic is not easy to exert any imagination, it is difficult to have a good work, and the usual routine is two kinds, one is to sing the praises of virtue, and the other is to use the past to satirize the present.
The poem title of this palace test is from the Han book "Former Han Book, Art and Literature Chronicles, Preface": "Han Xing, the defeat of the Qin Dynasty, the collection of books, and the wide opening of the road of book dedication...... The collection and preservation of books is the foundation of education and the source of chaos......" with this as the theme, and made a poem with five words and six rhymes.
That is, to use the importance of books as the title to compose a five-character and six-rhyme poem. On this topic, it is basically impossible to use the past to satirize the present, because the Great Song Dynasty literature and education were at their peak, so there is only one routine left to borrow the past and praise the present.
