Chapter 3 I was born to copy books
Although Xie Shen also wants to directly catch the line of the county order, the current disparity between the identities and status of the two is too great, far from being a circle, and rashly creating opportunities will only make things worse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt's better to take it step by step and get this instructor first.
After thinking about it, Xie Shen thought about the poems that could be used. It's spring, and if you want to write a poem, you can only write something related to the spring scene. Although the poems of the Tang and Song dynasties are good, they can't be used. There are only a few famous poets in the Ming Dynasty, and there is also a Nalan character, after pondering it, Xie Shen wrote down the poems that could be used one by one.
As for whether these poems can be used, Xie Shen can't be sure now. But it's always good to be prepared.
Of course, what poems can be used and what poems can't be used Xie Shen still has a score in his heart, otherwise if he is sent to Guozijian to study as a prodigy, wouldn't he be exposed?
The meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and Xie Shen is not in a hurry at the moment.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, Old Master Liu's condition has improved, and the academy can finally start classes.
For Xie Shen, this was a good buffer period, allowing him to fully adapt to the rhythm of life in the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Although Yuyao is a county seat, it is a large county, and there are 30,000 households and more than 50,000 people during the Hongzhi period.
Mr. Liu's house is in the east of Yuyao City, close to the main street, which can be regarded as located in the downtown area.
However, these had no effect on Xie Shen. The heart is far away from itself, and only the heart is like stopping water in order to do a good job in learning. Now that you have made up your mind to make a name for yourself on the road of the imperial examination, no matter how noisy the environment is, it will not become a fetter.
The house is three-in, which is already a remarkable scale in Yuyao. Except for Wu Xianzun, Confucian and Old Master Liu, no one dared to live in such a big house.
The academy was actually built in the courtyard of Old Master Liu's house, so it was not a short journey to come to the mansion to study.
Xie Shen carried the cloth bag on his back and walked through a moon gate, and when he saw the bluestone shadow wall, he knew that he had come to the academy's teaching hall.
The plaque of the teaching hall is inscribed with the word white deer, which is said to be the name specially given by Master Liu to admire the White Deer Cave Academy in the Song Dynasty.
Xie Shen was amused in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that the old pedant also liked vassal elegance.
He didn't have much memory of this old master Liu in his mind, only that he knew that many children of big families in Yuyao City were studying with him. Judging from the scale of Old Master Liu's mansion, he should be very good, and it may not be as simple as just an old showman.
Thinking of this, Xie Shen was even more determined in his thoughts. If you can be appreciated by Old Master Liu, it is not difficult to become famous. As long as you are famous, do you still have no chance to meet the county honor?
"Xie Xiaolang, what are you doing there, come in, the master is about to start teaching."
A little guy beckoned to Xie Shen, and the young man realized that he was still standing at the door, and hurriedly thanked the little guy kindly, and then walked into the teaching hall.
There are more than 50 horseshoe square tables in the whole teaching hall, equipped with small square stools with rounded corners.
Xie Shen found a place by the window and sat down, looking quite relaxed.
At this time, most of the students in the teaching hall had already arrived, and Xie Shen glanced around and found that most of them were their peers who were twelve or thirteen years old.
These students should be familiar with each other, but they chatted hotly, Xie Shen shook his head, and took out a pen and paper, and an inkstone from the cloth bag.
At this time, Shi Shiran walked out of an old man behind the flower and bird screen, he was wearing a lake blue robe, a leather belt around his waist, and a black hood on his head, Xie Shen said in his heart This is the old master Liu. He doesn't have much memory of Old Master Liu, he only knows that this gentleman is a person who is not smiling and rigorous in his studies.
"When you talk about Mencius today, take out the books."
Old Master Liu stroked the three strands of long hair on his chin and said quietly.
He sat in Tieliwood's four-headed official hat chair, but he didn't pick up the book on the case.
"Look at the section of King Wen and the people."
Xie Shen secretly slandered in his heart, did this old master Liu speak so briefly?
The section of King Wen's view of the people is from "Mencius? Leaving Louxia", Xie Shen was a graduate student of Ming history in his previous life, and literature and history are not separated, and he also has a lot of research on the four books. Xie Shen's favorite of the four books is "Mencius", and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a backward recitation.
He quickly flipped through the book to find this paragraph, and hurriedly scanned it.
He already knew about this, but he had to wait for Old Master Liu to give a lecture, God knows how Old Master wanted to speak.
King Wen regarded the people as if they were hurt, and looked at the way but did not see it. The people are at peace, and they look at them as if they were wounded; The Tao has come to an end, and the hope is still not seen, the saint's love for the people is deep and seeks the Tao like this, not self-satisfied, and the heart is dry all day long. ā
Old Master Liu memorized this paragraph, and his eyes were blazing: "Let's compose." ā
Xie Shen gasped, and his jaw almost dropped. Obediently, this old master Liu is really amazing in teaching methods, and he asks students to write essays directly? Xie Shen originally thought that his old man would have to talk about the "Notes on the Four Books" and analyze and analyze the methods to solve the problem, but he didn't expect him to be so direct.
Such a teacher is worth a year's worth of money?
Xie Shen felt distressed for the money, his Xie family was not a wealthy family, this money was the hard-earned money of his eldest brother Xie Fang, so it was uncomfortable to give it to this old gentleman who was secretly pretending to be a master.
The imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was actually to write eight strands of writing, and whoever wrote well would be admitted. The content of the test is actually the Four Books and Five Classics, and the questions are all the original texts of the Four Books and Five Classics. The so-called four books refer to the Analects, Mencius, the University, and the Mean. The so-called Five Classics refer to "Poems", "Books", "Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn". Of course, it is not enough to just memorize the four books and the five classics backwards. Although the questions of the imperial examination come from here, the candidates need to make appropriate explanations, which is called solving the questions. However, this explanation is not up to you, but must be quoted from Zhu Xi's "Commentary on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books". To put it bluntly, you also have to memorize the "Notes on the Four Books".
Only by memorizing all this is ripe, can you have the most basic qualifications. As for whether the idea and structure of the essay you write can impress the examiner, it depends on your ability.
Moreover, the question type of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was very complex, with big questions such as chapter questions and whole chapter questions, which were generally used for advanced examinations such as the general examination and the township examination. A child like Xie Shen, who doesn't even have a reputation for showing talent, doesn't need to think about these topics for the time being. What they need to pay attention to are one-word questions, two-word questions, truncated questions and other topics. Most of these questions are used in the county exam.
If you just want to make a name for yourself, you can practice more questions. But if you want to take the township test, you will try to show your ambitions, at least mix up the fame, then you have to make a big fuss and double study.
But this question is obviously a big question, this old master Liu is too much, they are just a group of children.
