"Open the bookcases and check them one by one."

In the imperial examination in ancient times, the inspection before entering the examination was very strict, not only the luggage carried had to be checked from beginning to end, but the candidates also had to take off their clothes to check whether there was any smuggling on their bodies.

In the movie, the phenomenon of writing the Four Books and Five Classics in the inner lining and wearing them on the body to enter the examination room does not exist here.

"This brush is yours?"

The one who walked in front of Wang Xu, the brush that was turned out, obviously had a mechanism hidden.

The examinee nodded tremblingly, only to see the officer in charge of the search smile coldly, and with a snap, the brush was broken, and a roll of paper was stuffed in the refill.

The paper was spread out, and a lot of words were densely written, and the evidence of fraud was conclusive.

"Hold it down!"

The scholar waved his hand, and his own servant took the person down.

The examinees who were escorted away cried and begged: "My lord, give me another chance, if I am kicked out, I will be finished." ”

Wang Xu shook his head secretly when he saw it, the fraud in the imperial examination was not spared by all dynasties.

It's not wrong to cheat, it's your fault to be so stupid, one is nobody, two doesn't matter, if you want to succeed with some cleverness, these invigilators are really dry.

"Check it out, let's go inside."

In Wang Xu's book basket, there are only pen, ink, paper, inkstone, a document of talent and fame, some dry food, and a pot of water, which was put in after a short period of inspection.

After carrying the book basket, Wang Xu nodded to Zhang Xu who was standing behind, took the number plate equivalent to the admission ticket, and walked towards his examination area.

The number plate is a wooden card, which reads the first word examination area, Ding No. 3 examination room, and No. 36 examination seat, which is Wang Xu's admission ticket.

Following the guidance, Wang Xu came to his examination room.

The examination room was very simple, it was fenced off with wooden planks, not like a place where people stayed, and it looked like a barn.

There are single rooms in it that serve as candidates' seats, and Wang Xu's No. 36 examination seat is in the middle, which makes him frown slightly when he sees it.

As far as the eye can see, there is a bed board inside the bathroom-sized exam seat, and there is also a bed board outside.

After the person enters, the outside bed board is lowered, and you can sit on the inside bed board and answer the questions.

When you are tired, you can sleep by lying on the bed board, and when you are hungry, you can sit on the bed board and eat.

Once the exam starts, the outside bed board is not allowed to be lowered, and if a person wants to come out inside, he will definitely make a movement and be discovered by the invigilator.

When I went to the toilet, I didn't come out to go to the toilet, but I lifted the bed board inside, and there was a toilet underneath.

The toilet is emptied three times a day, once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening.

Except for this time, if you go to the toilet, you will have to suffer the smell by yourself.

In many history, there are public toilets in the examination room, and candidates can ask for instructions to go to the toilet, which is actually a fabrication.

You must know that even when you take the high school entrance examination, you have to hand in the paper in advance if you want to go to the toilet halfway, who will let you go halfway.

What if you leave, help someone cheat in the toilet, and leave the test answers, you will have to send someone to keep an eye on you.

There's nothing like that, the toilet is in the exam seat, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are inside, I can't bear you not to take the test, and no one will accommodate you because of this.

In addition, it is obligatory to provide food and water in the examination room for the examination, and each candidate has a subsidy of 15 wen per day.

However, the food in the examination room is rarely eaten, and the taste is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the hygiene is not up to standard, and it is easy to have stomach trouble.

Candidates like Wang Xu will bring their own dry food and dried meat in advance, and they won't even drink a sip of water here, only the kind of people who are really poor and can't even bring their own dry food will eat the things in the examination room.

Sit down in the examination room, Wang Xu waited for the exam to start with peace of mind.

Half an hour later, 100 candidates arrived, the examination room began to close, and the invigilator handed out the papers.

There are three days to take the exam, the first day is to test the four books and five classics, the second day is to test the miscellaneous studies outside the four books and five classics, and the third day is to test the policy theory.

Two invigilators, with four military men, handed down the exam papers, each with ten pieces of rice paper, two candles, and ten pieces of straw paper.

Straw paper is used for people to make drafts, in addition to answering the questions correctly, the handwriting must also be neat, and dirty papers and typos are taboo.

Most of the time, candidates will write down what they are going to write, review it and then copy it on the exam paper to avoid any mistakes that are difficult to change.

The exam papers have been handed out, and everyone is ready, but the exam cannot be started yet.

The time of the exam is also stipulated, and the examiner will announce the content of the exam at three poles on the sun, that is, at noon, accompanied by three gongs.

I would like to mention here that the invigilators present are all high-grade bachelors in the palace, but they are not considered examiners.

The examiner candidates are not seen, and they are often served by the governor, the imperial history of the Inspectorate, and the academic administration of the local county school.

At noon, accompanied by three gongs, a soldier arrived with sealed exam questions.

The invigilator in the examination room unsealed it in front of everyone, and inside was the prepared exam questions.

Today is the first day, and the test is the content of the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The exam is divided into two parts, one is to give the question and write the following, and the other is to interpret the meaning of the saint.

The first exam question, Zhong Niyanxue, how to study.

This is the nineteenth chapter of the Analects, in the article of Zizhang, the question of the Gongsun Dynasty of the Wei Guo Dynasty against Zigong.

The written meaning is that it is said that Confucius was a scholar of knowledge, but where did his knowledge come from, and why can he teach everyone knowledge?

This question is not difficult, it is a scoring question, and it is a test of the memory of the four books and five classics.

In the Analects, Zigong gave the answer at that time, and as long as the answer was answered according to the standard answer, the question would be correct.

Wang Xu thought back to the Analects, dipped the tip of his pen in ink, and wrote: "The way of civil and martial arts is not falling to the ground, but in people." The sage knows the big one, and the unwise man knows the small one, and there is no way of civil and military affairs. Master, don't you learn? And how can there be a teacher?"

The meaning of this sentence is that the inheritance of King Wen and King Wu is not extinct, but there are still people who inherit it.

Sages can learn big truths from it, ordinary people can learn small truths from it, and they all have the inheritance of King Wen and King Wu.

Our teacher is a sage, who can understand the big truth from the small truth, and he must have my teacher as a teacher in the threesome, why don't you learn it.

It is our luck that the teacher will sort out a lot of big truths and small truths and teach us, why can't the teacher have such a ability?

The first day of the exam is the easiest, as long as you are familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The questions given by the examiner are limited by the Four Books and Five Classics, and the answers are also within the Four Books and Five Classics, which is not difficult for Wang Xu.

Of course, this is for Wang Xu, some people haven't even read all the four books and five classics, let alone memorized them, and it is difficult to answer the questions that are difficult to answer.

After listening to ten questions in a row, Wang Xu listened to the answers fluently, and wrote the answers in only one hour.

The rest of the candidates, some of them put pen to paper, some racked their brains, and some of them were nervous when they entered the examination room, forgetting everything when they were nervous, and sitting there crying.

All living beings are in front of him, Wang Xu sees them, looks at them, is unmoved, and is as stable as Mount Tai.

On the first day, I spent this kind of tranquility and anxiety, and those who wrote well were calm, and those who couldn't answer scratched their ears and cheeks.

The next day, the exam continued, and the questions were expanded from the Four Books and the Five Classics to the Miscellaneous Books.

Miscellaneous books are not miscellaneous studies, they are also cast by sages, but they are more biased than the Four Books and the Five Classics.

For example, the Spring and Autumn Zuo Biography, the Ram Biography, the Historical Records, Erya, the Book of Filial Piety, Xunzi, and a large number of sage works.

This is a bit out of the way, because many people have not read these books alone, and it is even more difficult to memorize them.

It can also be seen from here that the imperial examination is also biased towards the gentry class, because if the children of the poor family have no opportunity, they can't afford to buy these books at all, and they don't even have what you say about the exam.

Wang Xu still answered fluently, as long as the gentry class reads well, is willing to work hard, and has a little talent, it is not difficult to lift people, just like the son of a university professor who is admitted to the university, it is easy to be admitted to the key points, and there is this cultural heritage.

Compared with him, some candidates who have not read these books, or who have read them, have not memorized them all, make it difficult.

Miscellaneous studies itself is a partial subject, and all kinds of knowledge and translations add up to millions of words, which is equivalent to a book of thousands of chapters.

In addition, there are a lot of small words, the meaning of the word difference is completely changed, the candidates present wrote very hard, some people did not finish writing until the early hours of the morning, write a little change, and then write while thinking, it is more uncomfortable than constipation.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
