The ancients needed a material basis to practice calligraphy.

To learn calligraphy, you need to copy the calligraphy of the famous predecessors. In ancient times, when there was no photographic technology, the characters of famous artists could not be seen by ordinary people at all. It's not a prestigious family, and it doesn't have the financial strength to buy celebrity law at all.

Therefore, many people take the teaching of teachers as the standard, learn from the dragon like the dragon, learn the tiger like the tiger, and learn the mouse to drill holes. And the best learning age for a person is five to twelve years old. The problem is that many of the teachers who read the book are poor talents in the countryside, and they can't talk about any fonts.

Not to mention ordinary children, even if it is a lot of calligraphy, it looks messy and unorthodox, and it is really unsightly.

In order not to make people ambiguous when reading their own articles, many people write meticulously according to the printed style, which is also the reason why the pavilion style is powerful in the imperial examination field for a while.

Shen Shixing is a famous person in Jiangnan, and his family also has small assets. In addition, he is very famous, and he has traveled all over the world, what kind of calligraphy has not been seen, and even the north and other Mount Tai copied the sage Mobao.

The first-hand Wei tablet is written sonorously and powerfully, and it is a style of everyone.

Seeing the words on the scroll, Shen Shixing was secretly a little proud, and he was a little more sure of winning Wu Jie.

In fact, Wu Jie has also pondered the matter of calligraphy many times in private. He was good at calligraphy, but he was used to using a pencil for a while before the exam, and he regressed a little.

After discovering this, he practiced hard for another month, and finally picked up the lost things again.

Originally, he planned to use Song Huizong's thin gold body for this palace test. This new form of calligraphy will definitely shock the hearts of the palace examiners.

But when you think about it, you can't be too foolish about an exam of this magnitude. The thin gold body is good, but I like this thing very much, and if I don't like it, I think the font is too thin and steep, and it is not round and smooth enough.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to use Qigong's calligraphy.

Qi Gong is the most famous calligrapher in modern times, his calligraphy is very unique, most people learn calligraphy from the beginning of writing "nine square grids" or "rice character grids", the grid is divided into a number of equal parts. Qi Gong found that the problem was in this "equal portion". The reason is very simple, because the "center of gravity" of each word is not necessarily in the "center", so it is not possible to divide each word into "three equal parts" in a pattern, up and down, left and right. Therefore, he adopted a division method that is more in line with the glyph structure, which is the "five-three-five" unequal portions pioneered by him. This glyph has a large amount of up, down, left and right, and a smaller part in the middle, rather than a "nine-equal portion" like the "nine-square grid". The unequal structure font of "Five-Three-Five" is his original "Qiti" calligraphy.

Although it is new, it seems quiet, generous, graceful and elegant, with the style of a royal family and aristocracy.

This kind of character is naturally best used in the palace examination room.

In addition to the requirements for calligraphy, there is also a fixed format for the papers of the temple examination. In addition to the minister's news at the beginning, you have to write three words at the end, "The minister is right", and the article is complete.

As long as the format is correct, this jinshi is in hand.

Of course, if you don't know anything about the format, then you have committed the taboo of the palace exam Sorry, the Jinshi merit is gone, and the officials are directly issued to the ministry and awarded a seven-grade official.

There is a fixed format at the beginning and end, not to mention that the article must not be violated.

The so-called violation, but when encountering the words "heaven" and "emperor, queen, ancestor", etc., it must be mentioned, and it must be written one or two words higher, commonly known as raising the head.

Also, the names of all emperors in the Ming Dynasty should be avoided, such as Zhu characters, Jiajing characters or something......

Wu Jie lazily copied the model text, and by noon, he finally finished the volume.

When I turned my head, I saw that there were still many candidates who had not started writing.

There's an interesting thing going on.

It turned out that the candidates did not have scratch paper available. There are many people who write an outline on a small case, but they write too much, and the small table is not enough, and some people even write the outline on their clothes. ..., the invigilators looked angry and funny, and some people couldn't help but shout: "Be decent, they are all people who want to be officials of the imperial court, and they will go out, and the people are disrespectful, how can they be herdsmen on behalf of the Son of Heaven?" ”

After speaking, he laughed to himself.

Wu Jie finished making the rolls and started to have lunch, which was free anyway, and he didn't eat for nothing.

It's still a cold meal, just a bowl of soup, a few pieces of cake, but an extra plate of rooster. Take the meaning of the golden rooster to report the dawn, a dragon gate, the meaning of the world's fame.

The candidates entered the palace early in the morning, and most of them were hungry. Anyway, I didn't have to rush to make the rolls, so I ate them all along.

For a time, the chalk of Manbao and the hall was full of the sound of squeaky eating.

The proctor was even more angry: "Be steady, not like words." ”

After speaking, several officials who supervised the examination couldn't help but laugh at the same time.

There was also a pot of rice wine in the meal, and after eating a piece of chicken, there was no salt and no taste, so Wu Jie gave up the idea of taking advantage of the emperor, and dried up the pot of wine with his head up. Picked up the roll and walked up, and said with a smile: "Grab the first roll!" ”

The palace test is not P butterfly submission time, as long as it is done, you can appear at any time.

handed the volume to the sealing officer, and the sealing official said: "It's really fast, it's worthy of Wu Shizhen, I've heard of your name a long time ago." ”

The invigilators had long paid attention to Shang Wu Jie and Shen Shixing, and when they saw him hand in the papers, they surrounded him at the same time, and when they saw it, they all praised it: "What a beautiful word!" ”

"Amazing!"

"It's not a kind of system, I haven't seen it before!

"Will be compared, the official will come down first, take it home and figure it out.

Good calligraphy is rare, it can be passed on to future generations, and suddenly, there are examiners looking for paper and pen.

Seeing that Wu Jie had finished, Shen Shixing was a little anxious in his heart, and he already had the ambition to compete with Wu Jie. He didn't expect this Shizhen brother to look sad on his face, but the volume was written so quickly, it was really admirable!

I was distracted in my heart, and when I wrote the sentence "Nine Sides Suijing", I forgot to mention it in front of the word Jing. There is no evasion of the word "Jing".

It turned out that the word Jing was just Fan Jiajing's obscurity.

Discovering this, Shen Shixing was annoyed in his heart, and his voice was terrible: just this mistake, the champion was lost.

Wu Jie stood beside the examiner and saw that Mi Feng had sealed the name on his paper, stamped a lot of seals, and the two sewing seals did not fall. Only then did he affirm that the scroll did not need to be transcribed, and then he saluted the officials and turned around and left.

When passing through the chalk field, the candidates gave him a thumbs up, Wu Jie smiled and nodded, lifted the hem of his clothes, raised his head, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the distant noon gate in a dashing manner.

Handing in the paper is a rare honor, in fact, this alone can also add points for Wu Jie to the examiner.

After Wu Jie's back disappeared from the side of the Taihe Palace, the other candidates calmed down. He who eats eats, and he who makes rolls makes rolls.

Shen Shixing was depressed in his heart, and probably calculated, just this one Jing character would make him brush off the first armor.

The opportunity to be directly clicked into the Hallym Temple was missed.

It seems that we can only find a way to do the next part perfectly, if it is still possible to be among the best in the second class, maybe there is also the possibility of being named a Jishi and entering the Hanlin Academy.

As long as you don't make a big mistake in this exam, everyone is a jinshi. The key is whether or not he can be ordered by the emperor, which is related to how far he can go in the officialdom in the future, how much edification he can have, and even whether he can enter the cabinet.

If you don't have a background in the Hanlin Academy, you will have a transparent ceiling on your head, no matter how capable you are, you will be the end of the feudal realm.

Don't even think about it.

As for Yan Shifan's entry into the cabinet as a national eunuch, that is a special circumstance, two hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there is such a person, and he is also notorious and despised by the world. ..., "Let's not be distracted anymore, whether it is success or failure, it depends on the next!" Shen Shixing gritted his teeth, calmed his mind, didn't eat, and slowly started writing.

He didn't know that in real history, he should have won the top prize. Even in this time and space, if you don't make this mistake, you can compete with Wu Jie.

It's just that a Jing word made him withdraw from the ranks of competitors.

It's called butterfly wings!

Wu Jie walked hungry for a long time, and finally arrived at the noon gate, and he walked out of a sweat early, and his stomach was rumbling.

The soldiers guarding the door were surprised to see that Wu Jie came out so early, you must know that many candidates will not come out until the afternoon. I really haven't seen him turn in the papers so early.

Outside the noon gate, there were already a few sedan chairs waiting there, and when they saw Wu Jie coming out, they rushed up like the wind: "The master went there, but he went home?" ”

Wu Jie nodded, reported the address of his home, and got into the sedan chair.

This road is not quiet, the sedan chair man's words are scary, first guess that Wu Jie is the Jinshi master who came to participate in the palace examination, saying that most of the people who came out of this palace gate were dressed in court clothes and civilian clothes, and they could only be candidates.

Then he asked Wu Jie how he did in the exam, and asked him about the exam questions.

After asking the question clearly, he asked Wu Jie's name.

Then a praising turned out to be the famous Lord Wu, and I have admired your poems for a long time.

After finishing it, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it in, saying how to write the poem, and asked Lord Wu not to be stingy.

I didn't expect this palanquin man to know poetry, and at the same time I was surprised, Wu Jie took it and looked at it, it was actually a few limerick poems, what "Dragon King in the Sky", "King of Hades on the Earth", "Drink and open the way, I'm here!" "It's really unsightly.

I had to deal with a few sentences indiscriminately, saying, "Well written." "It's over.

The palanquin man was even more proud of Wu Jie's praise, and began to talk about officialdom again, which was indeed hearsay.

Wu Jie was impetuous when he heard this, this guy is so good at talking, he is simply a Beijing taxi driver in later generations, half of it is known in the sky, and everything is known on the earth.

I'm so hungry, it's really helpless to listen to him talk nonsense for so long!

When he got home, Mozi saw that Wu Jie had come back so early, and he looked depressed and surprised: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

……

Concave: The palace examination is finally over, and the National Day is also halfway over, and I don't know if there is still a double monthly pass.
