Chapter 226: Wonderful Answer
According to the convention, among the three sessions, the first session of the Four Books and Five Classics Examination is very important. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the first four books and five classics test questions are sufficient, three questions and four book questions, plus four scriptures and righteous questions, it is definitely a test of hard power.
The content of the second exam is very miscellaneous, with one discussion, five judgments, and one internal medicine. On the third day, there were five questions. These are not so important, at most they are the icing on the cake.
Therefore, many candidates with poor physical strength will fight hard for the first game. As long as the first game is outstanding, the second and third games will definitely be on the list as long as they are not bad and outrageous.
Although Xie Shen's body is not strong, it is not to the point of being weak, and there is no problem in taking the rural examination.
But this did not affect Xie Shen's main focus on the Four Books and Five Classics.
Over the past year, Xie Shen's understanding of Zhu Ziji's annotations has been greatly improved.
First, it is the support provided by the systematic study of the county school, and the second is the credit of the Confucian teachings and Zheng Xundao of the county school.
With the guidance of a famous teacher, you can avoid many detours, which Xie Shen deeply understands.
In addition, Xie Shen also studies very weekdays, and the problem of thin foundation is easily solved.
There are always three questions in the Four Books and Five Classics test, Xie Shen slowly opened the test paper, and saw the first question appear in front of him.
"Neutral and unbiased, strong and pretentious."
This title comes from "The Mean", and the meaning is very simple, that is, a gentleman should abide by the golden mean and be impartial.
Xie Shen smiled faintly and wrote: "Since ancient times, the rule of emperors and sages, the way of sages, and nothing more than one middle. The middle is the one that should be regarded as the standard for all generations in the world. However, the crowd and the crowd are not self-reliant. And the heroes of Qiyi are inevitably too overbearing, and they can't take the big and medium as their home.
That is, if you can't keep it for a long time, it will be consistent and consistent, and it will be tiring for it. Only a gentleman can get rid of the burden of material desires, but he has self-control, which is so commendable. ”
After a pause, Xie Shen picked up the tip of his pen, and Chen Ran continued: "The master's answer to the question of the road is strong, and the re-entry is said to the gentleman, neutral and not leaning, and strong." Faith, its ability is strong. And I have tasted the changes in the world, so there are many neutrals who scratch me. ”
The beginning and end of the article are almost perfect, and the next step is the most important part, which is the end.
Xie Shen held his breath and wrote: "The husband only has the determination to use the candle in a few, the first to have the concentration to hold on to the outside, and then the willing words are not enough to lure him, the suspicion and slander are not enough to move, the power and trickery are not enough to mistake, and the harm is not enough to mess with it." And to its original nature, in the ability to take the selfishness of material desires and win. Therefore, it is said that self-victory is strong. ”
Perfect, there should be applause here!
Xie Shen took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly.
After writing an article of more than 1,000 words, the young man was sweating profusely.
Who said writing an article isn't manual work? That's because they didn't put all their energy into it, they didn't bring themselves in.
A good article must first move the writer himself, only in this way can he move the master of the paper!
The next two questions, one from the university and the other from Mencius.
The university topic is "The gentleman is virtuous and pro-pro, and the villain is happy and profitable." ”
Mencius's inscription is "Those who are adults do not lose their pure hearts." ”
These two questions are well-behaved questions, not opportunistic truncated questions.
Xie Shen was in a state for a while, and these two articles were written very smoothly.
In the end, Xie Shen began to write scriptures.
The Ming Dynasty did not require scholars to read the Five Classics thoroughly, but only needed to choose one subject.
Xie Shenzhi is the Book of Poetry, which is a super hit in the Spring and Autumn Period of Poetry and Books.
Popular has the benefits of being popular, there are many learning materials, there is not much pressure to memorize, and the topic will not be very biased. Of course, the disadvantage is obvious, that is, the competition is too fierce.
The four questions in the scripture test are naturally all about the Book of Songs.
Because he was too familiar with the Book of Poetry, Xie Shen completed the four questions very smoothly and began to shake the pen.
It's so embarrassing....
It only took Xie Shen three hours to finish the day's work, and then he fell into a bored situation, choosing to either revise the article or choose to rest in the fugue.
Xie Shen was obviously not conceited to the point of fugue, so he had to sigh in his heart and start reading through the article to see if there was anything that needed to be revised.
The young man can only comfort himself that a good article is changed, and no matter how wonderful the text is, there will be flaws, plus his article is mixed with a lot of fragments of famous Ming and Qing dynasties, and some of them still need to be integrated and eliminated.
But it didn't take a whole day to revise, and it took another hour and a half, and Xie Shen finally found that the article could not be changed.
Although literature is not perfect, Xie Shen just feels that this article is perfect and otherworldly.
Tapping lightly on the table, Xie Shen let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
At this moment, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, lightning and thunder, followed by a torrential rain.
The weather in August is changing, the sky was clear a moment ago, the autumn was crisp, and now it is pouring rain.
Xie Shen couldn't take care of it, so he hurriedly rolled up the written article and put it in the food box.
This is the best article made by his little talk, if it comes to naught because of a heavy rain, it will be too unjust.
He could have written a few more, but he could never have done the same.
Fortunately, Xie Shen reacted quickly, and it was no big deal that only a corner of the test paper and the question paper were wet.
Alas, nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Xie Shen's pride was watered by a torrential rain.
......
......
The rain in Jiangnan stopped when it was said......
Just when Xie Shen was embarrassed by the heavy rain, the rain stopped.
Despite this, the trickling rain still dripped down the holes in the eaves and the roof of the shed, converging into a single rain line.
Xie Shen shook his head, took out a piece of cake from the food box and put it in his mouth.
The multigrain cake is very porcelain, but the taste is really too bad.
With the improvement of his family's situation, Xie Shen's diet is no longer as rough as before, and this cake is indeed a little difficult to swallow.
However, the meal still had to be eaten, and Xie Shen hadn't eaten for a few hours after breakfast. If you don't replenish your strength in time, you are likely to faint directly in the dormitory.
Finally receiving the harvest, Xie Shen was finally able to leave the terrifying house and return home to have a good rest.
In the blink of an eye, it was August 12th. Xie Shen came to the Gongyuan early to wait for the exam and prepare for the second exam.
It's just that his state of mind is very different at this moment.
Entering the number room, Xie Shen began to write hard as the exam papers were issued, and after a short time, he made all the test questions.
I'll have to wait again.
