Chapter 252: Inspection
Liu Chenxing wrote: "The words of the writer are painted, and the ambition is hoofed." ”
This will use the allusions of "forgetting the fish" and "forgetting the hoof" in "Zhuangzi: Foreign Objects" to illustrate that people with pure thoughts sometimes forget to embellish and process language.
Therefore, the selection of materials should be "stored in words and texts, in line with the ancients, and in words and virtues, it must be subtle." The conclusion of this sixteen-character book is, of course, indispensable to quote from the classics.
Liu Chenxing uses the "Ming Trial and Speech" in the "Book of Shang" as a quote to discuss how the method of selecting materials from the Zhou to the Han Dynasty gradually lost its effectiveness.
At this point, I have finished writing the opening chapter of "citing precedents and asking questions".
With the antecedents supporting her point, it was time to come up with a concrete solution.
Liu Chenxing wrote: "Those who are honest and righteous should not be harmed by words; If you are tactful and profound, don't hurt your words. ”
It means that for those who are really aware of the matter and the gist of the article is revealed, do not dismiss the words because of the ornamentation; For euphemistic and profound words, do not deny the deep meaning because of words.
After writing it with enthusiasm, it's time to collect the essay.
As with modern essay writing, the overall structure of the total score has to be discussed again in the end, and the questions are once again introduced to the current trial exam, which is also indispensable to combine history as evidence.
Liu Chenxing found and listed a series of people who did not rely on articles to get their names, emphasizing the views of making the best use of people's talents, not using words to harm words, and not using words to harm intentions.
If so, there is ink in the chest, and the pen is like a god, and the text will be completed in less than an hour.
At this time, it was still early, Liu Chenxing put down the pen on the inkstone, and then checked the text three times from beginning to end.
After all, language is also extremely important, and as a person who is looking at a text, you should be meticulous and try to grasp its meaning as accurately as possible. As a counselor, you should also try to work your words, not for embellishment, but for better expression of yourself - she also expounded this point of view in this essay, and of course she will do it even more.
Compared with the time when I took the state exam in Beizhou two years ago, there will still be some things that need to be deleted and corrected when the draft of a policy essay is written and checked.
Now, under the strict teaching of Uncle Liu, her level of coping with the writing has improved a lot, and she has gradually developed the habit of trying not to delete or modify it in one go.
The reason why she developed this habit quickly also depends on her usual practice of calligraphy, and every time she practices calligraphy, she writes her best level as much as possible, so as to achieve the purpose of practicing calligraphy.
As the saying goes, "ten minutes on the stage and ten years of work off the stage", it is in vain that she usually has strict requirements and efforts for herself, this draft written on straw paper, from a distance, only to see the paper snow-white, which complements it is the strength of the pen and the positive letters, which are pleasing to the eye; If you take a closer look, the content of the essay is substantial, and there are references to the scriptures to support the discussion, which shows the amount of reading that the author usually reads, and uses it freely, not a dead reading.
On the whole, this draft essay can be submitted as an official answer.
But now the hour is too early, Liu Chenxing splashed ink again, and copied the content on the paper scroll one by one.
At this time, half of the exam time had passed, and most of the candidates, like Liu Chenxing, had already completed the draft on the straw paper, and finalized it after deletion, deletion, revision, and revision, and began to concentrate on copying the test paper.
Everyone copied very carefully, because according to the ranking of the papers, the content of the text and the decoration of words are the criteria for the examination, but the neatness of the calligraphy and the volume is also one of the criteria for judging, and any carelessness will make the palace examination rank lower.
Although it will take some time before the end of the exam, the empress can more or less estimate the progress of the answering questions of the princesses, and just when all the empresses almost forgot that the empress said that she would come to the exam from time to time, the empress took the hand of the palace maid and walked slowly into the hall from outside the palace.
King Wei sat facing the door of the palace, and Yao Chongzheng and other five examiners sat on the right side of the main hall.
The empress waved her hand slightly, stopped the King of Wei and the others from greeting each other, and did not let the palace people who came to follow her, and walked alone behind a male examiner, and saw that he was concentrating on copying the draft, she did not make a sound to disturb, and looked at the policy on the draft of the male lifter.
The male Juzi wrote seriously, and he didn't notice that the empress was coming, but the rice paper was too white and smooth, and the empress stood with her backlight, casting a shadow on the rice paper, and Juzi couldn't help but look up curiously:
It's the Empress!
With a "bang", the pen in his hand fell on the test paper he was transcribing, and the bean-sized ink instantly dyed on the snow-white rice paper.
Seeing this, the empress did not shake her head or look disappointed, but slowly straightened up, and continued to walk to the side of the next lifter with an unchanged expression and watched silently, allowing the male lifter just now to sit on the couch and watch the empress leave in a daze.
I don't know if it's the queen's bad luck, or the empress's majesty is too heavy, I looked at the three male lifters sitting on the edge in a row, and they were all shocked that they panicked, and the paper of the exam was ruined by ink, but fortunately, the exam time was sufficient, enough for the lifters to copy a copy again.
However, the three men were frightened, so that many of the surrounding people who were attentive found that the empress had come without saying a word, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound, so they could only pretend to be buried in copying the test papers, but the hand holding the pen trembled for a long time and did not drop a word.
The empress saw everything in her eyes, and knew that many movers found themselves coming, so she also looked at the answer sheet of this piece and walked forward slowly.
Finding that the empress seemed to have walked away, Juzi, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but be curious, quietly raised his eyes to peep, and saw the empress stop on the left side of the first row.
This is exactly Liu Chenxing's exam seat.
Liu Chenxing is also transcribing the test papers without distraction, but it is not so much copying the test papers as it is dictation.
Disgusted with the trouble of transcribing a sentence at a glance, it is far better than writing the handwriting in one go, Liu Chenxing put the draft on the side of the case, relying on Qijia's memory, especially the unforgettable golden finger that he saw that day, and immersed himself in the world of his own calligraphy.
After all, the empress is old, her eyesight is not as good as before, and it is still a little difficult to see from a distance, seeing that Liu Chenxing did not use the draft, she simply picked up the abandoned draft on the side and read it.
Liu Chenxing was attentive again, and there was one more person around him who couldn't notice it for a while, but how could he notice it after a long time, seeing that the empress took away her draft, Liu Chenxing looked up at the empress, and continued to bow his head and splash ink until the end of the last sentence.
