Chapter 61 Exam Questions

Lintian was very attentive to answering the question, he naturally didn't know the Wen family's intentions and plans for himself. I was very attentive to writing, and soon, I was almost finished answering half of the Moyi questions.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Tian had a good foundation in his previous life, no matter how powerful he was today, he wouldn't be able to reach this level in a few days.

While writing, there was an inexplicable strangeness in Lintian's heart, because he suddenly felt that the topic was getting simpler and simpler, and it was not the same as his own feeling.

Except for the first two questions, the rest of the questions are very simple. How could it be, it shouldn't be so simple, if it's so simple, then I don't know how many people will be on the list."

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Lintian still answered them carefully one by one, saw the problems clearly, and was not negligent. After that, Lintian never found any difficulties in this ink meaning, and the writing was quite smooth.

Soon, Lintian finally did the last question, but at this time, he finally got stuck.

After reading this last question, Lintian realized that the previous questions were all of very general difficulty, and they also made people relax their vigilance, and this last question is the real finale of Moyi, which should brush off many people.

Lintian is not the fastest to do the questions, there is no shortage of people with real talents, and they do it quickly, but most of them are about the same speed as Lintian. In the examination room at this time, it is no longer Wen Sanyi who is biting the pen, and many people are sweating on their foreheads and thinking hard.

This last question is quite difficult. The order is reversed, and it is not for you to translate or annotate the poems of your predecessors.

Instead, he annotated a passage and asked the candidates to use the most appropriate predecessor article to give it. On the surface, this is not difficult, but which article to give is a headache.

I don't know who wrote this commentary, it seems to have been deliberately written very broadly, so there are many articles by predecessors who can be endowed, so the question arises, I don't know which one is right to use.

The commentary reads: Etiquette is something that all people must observe, and they must be treated with courtesy from person to person, from home to home, and from country to country. Etiquette can be good, etiquette can be lawful, and at the same time, etiquette can be different.

On the surface, it seems to be a very simple sentence, 'li' is respected at all times, and even more so in this era of pen and ink culture, and there are also many disputes and sayings.

Some people believe that rites should be their own school, but some people say that rites are the same as the law, and the law is the same as the rites, and this rite should be attributed to the doctrinal statements of the 'Legalists'.

At the same time, there are many people of previous generations who wrote articles about 'rites', and the most popular one in the Great Xuanguo is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, Zhang Jin's "Rites".

Among them, it is written, "Etiquette is the foundation of the country, rudeness does not make the law, you can't get a family, and you can't have a home."

This can be interpreted as the above words, but Lintian can't think right, the key is that the final "ceremony can be different". Many schools of thought have a good respect for this 'rite', and there are many articles on doctrine, so choosing the most appropriate one is the key.

Lin Tian thought in his heart: "This ritual is understood as goodness, and it can also be legislated with etiquette, which can be used in the article of the Legalist." However, if there is a difference in etiquette, it can be separated, I am polite to others, but if I don't like you, I can be rude to you, which is equivalent to denying the original meaning of etiquette. ”

Unconsciously, Lintian frowned and pondered carefully.

At this time, in the examination room, there are also some people who are stuck on this question, but there are also students who are deceived by the simple questions in front, and some people actually start to do poetry directly, obviously not finding the last question boring.

Time passed minute by minute, and the test show was less than a day, so most people wanted to hurry up.

Therefore, after thinking hard for a period of time without results, many people have already given up in points, wrote down the answers casually, and then proceeded to the next item.

Lintian was not distracted by the speed of others writing, he was very focused and thought hard. About half a pillar of incense, Wen Xiang lifted the pen, and at the same time, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

After thinking about it repeatedly, I finally thought of what article should be used for this annotation. The answer was quickly written.

The last salute was different, it seemed to be a strange talk, and it was also a little different from the previous explanation, but he finally thought of the meaning of the word 'don't'.

Daxuanguo, located at the southern end of Dongzhou, has a side near the border fortress, outside the plug is a vast desert, at the end of the desert, there is the territory of the demon clan. The demon clan here is very eager for the territory of the human race, and there are often wars and mutinations of the human race, so the border pass must be guarded.

There was once a legendary general in the Great Xuan Kingdom, and when the border pass was almost lost again, he fought on the battlefield in a bloody battle, turned the tide, and redeemed the defeat.

This person is the marshal of the dynasty, 'Li Guang'. Back then, the Great Xuan Kingdom took pity on the desert demon clan and gave up part of the territory for them to live in, but he didn't expect to be calculated, and the demon clan had to advance inch by inch, and the army pressed the border.

Li Guangzheng is the general who guards the border fortress, and when he saw that the demon clan did not keep his promise, he was angry and wrote the article "Rite and Farewell".

"There is also a difference. Those who honor me are served. Whoever insults me is forsaken. Etiquette comes first and people follow the etiquette law, and the etiquette law comes from the country, and those who offend my great Xuanguo will be punished with etiquette!"

Then Li Guang led the border soldiers and repelled the demon clan. And this article has also become a military legislation, 'Those who offend my great Xuanguo will be punished with courtesy'

The 'rite' here does not mean goodness, but there is something else. And that's exactly what the commentary is trying to say.

Lintian showed a smile, and at the same time he was relieved, I have to say that Lintian was lucky, he hadn't actually read this "Rites Are Different".

But when he left Wenxian, the book "Daxuan Celebrity Collection" given by Master Zhang mentioned this General Li on it, and it happened to talk about the record of this article. Lin Tian didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he thought of 'etiquette is different', he suddenly remembered this book and answered.

After finishing writing, Lintian wiped the sweat on his forehead, took a deep breath, and said in his heart: "This is also crooked, fortunately I saw the 'Daxuan Celebrity Collection' at that time, otherwise I really can't do it, it seems that it will not be wrong to read more books in the future."

After coming back to his senses, Lintian sorted out the answer sheet, and immediately started the next item, and the rest of the time, Lintian didn't dare to grasp that he could finish it all, so Lintian knew that it was better to hurry up.

After Moyi, there are also poems and calculations, and scriptures. Poetry is the main topic that has always tested people's talents, and no matter what level it reaches, it is definitely the most concerned, because it is the most difficult to condense the artistic conception and the meaning you want to express into a few numbers.

Often, candidates leave the poems at the end. Because the poems of the Xiucai exam are well written, they will be noticed and admired, not to mention the poems that make meritorious achievements. If you can write poems that contain the rules of the Great Dao, it is possible that it will trigger visions of heaven and earth, and this is a good opportunity to be in the limelight.

So most people's thoughts are to stay behind, make a splash, and see their luck.
