"these people¡"
After leaving Wangyue Tower, Tong Yuan couldn't help clenching his fists. Of course he knew these people were laughing at him, but it didn't matter. What he couldn't bear the most was them laughing at his own sect.
Although Liu Jin did not teach them anything at all in the Four Books and Five Classics, they still learned a lot of useful knowledge from Liu Jin, which benefited them both a lot, and they also deeply admired Liu Jin as a teacher.
"Don't pay attention to them, it's just that this is our provincial examination, and you and I need to work hard so as not to lose the face of our mentor."
Huang Jinquan shook his head slightly and said, just thinking about the difficulty of this imperial examination, and then thinking about his own academic level, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"Um."
Tong Yuan nodded solemnly, swearing secretly in his heart.
Early the next morning, the two of them arrived at Liu Jin's house early, ready to listen to Liu Jin's teachings and prepare hard for this provincial examination.
"Why are you here so early?"
Liu Jin was naturally carefree and slept until midnight. When he came to the study, he realized that his two cheap students had arrived very early. At this time, he was studying the Four Books and Five Classics seriously in the study. .
"Teacher, we know that our qualifications are mediocre and our knowledge is limited. I am afraid that this provincial examination is to embarrass our teacher. But as the old saying goes, if you are sharpening your skills in battle, you will lose your happiness if you are not happy. There is still half a month, so naturally we must concentrate on studying."
Tong Yuan said quickly and respectfully.
"Hmm~"
Liu Jin said in an old-fashioned way, then came to the desk where the two of them were studying, looked at the books on their desks and asked, "What books are you reading?"
"The students are reading "The Book of Rites"."
Tong Yuan replied.
"Students are watching "The Golden Mean"."
Huang Jinquan also replied.
"There are only a few months until the provincial examination. There is no use for you to read these books now, so put them aside."
Liu Jin nodded after hearing this, then smiled and said.
"Put all these books aside?"
The two of them said in confusion at the same time.
"Yes, put it aside."
Liu Jin came to his desk, sat down gently, and then said: "In the next half month, we will not read these Four Books and Five Classics. Let's study the questions."
"Refreshing questions?"
When the two of them heard this, they immediately became more confused. Huang Jinquan quickly asked: "Teacher, what do you mean by answering questions?"
"To brush up on the questions is to keep doing the questions. To put it simply, we practice the questions from the provincial examination and the general examination in previous years, and continue to practice how to write the eight-part essay. After writing the eight-part essay, the three of us will grade each other. Let¡¯s work together to study the shortcomings of each other¡¯s articles.¡±
"After we have answered enough questions, the three of us will come back to the questions. Based on our own inferences, we will ask each other questions, and then do the questions again."
Liu Jin thought for a while and explained to the two of them.
"That's it~"
When the two of them heard this, they immediately understood what was going on. Then Tong Yuan thought about it and asked, "Teacher, what's the use of doing this?"
"Of course it's useful. This is for you to practice the questions for the imperial examination, so that you won't be nervous during the exam, and your mind won't be blank. If we are lucky enough to hit the exam questions when we take the exam, we will The probability of passing will be greatly increased.¡±
Liu Jin said very confidently that the method of brushing questions has been tested countless times in the college entrance examination in later generations. After doing some questions a few times, the meaning will be obvious. Some questions can be encountered in the college entrance examination if you brush too many questions. The same question, this is the benefit of brushing the questions.
"Well, let's start now. Come up with a question for the teacher. This question is a rural examination question in Beizhili in the sixth year of Tianshun. The question is about the knowledge of scholars. Let the three of us do the question."
Liu Jin had already asked people to find out the imperial examination questions from the provincial and general examinations over the years beforehand, and he flipped through one and said.
Hearing the topic read out by Liu Jin, Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan immediately began to think deeply, and then quickly frowned.
This question is very insidious. The stem of the question hides the second half of the question. The original sentence should be 'Scholarship first, then literature and art.' The person who asked the question must have done it on purpose. If you don't know the whole sentence, it's easy to fail to examine the question. Qing and Luan answered in one breath.
So what does this sentence mean?
This sentence is from "New Tang Book¡¤Pei Xingjian Biography""In order to achieve great success as a scholar, one must first understand the tools and then the literature and art. That is to say, to be a scholar, one must first have the knowledge of the tools and then talk about literature and art.
Who is Pei Xingjian talking about? Lao Pei was talking about the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo, Luo Binwang, Lu Zhaolin and Yang Jiong. Although they were very famous, the first three except Yang Jiong were all arrogant and impetuous. Why was it so poisonous? One of them was beheaded and two were drowned. Only Yang Jiong got a good death.
Of course, during the imperial examination, you must not talk about so many useless things. Just understand the essence of this sentence and know what aspect the question focuses on.
Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan are both constantly thinking and pondering. Of course, they may also be thinking about the origin of the test question and how to write the essay.
As for Liu Jin, he has a golden finger and can form a standard and excellent eight-part essay in his mind in an instant, so he has nothing to do at this time and carefully observes his two cheap students.
Both of them were frowning at this time, as if they were constantly thinking about the origin of this question. This was very important, because only by figuring out the origin of this question could they write out the full text of the source, and then study the full text carefully. Then study the situation of the author who wrote this article, and then study this article based on the historical background at that time.
This is just the first step, and the requirements are already quite high. You must memorize the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly before you can know the origin of this question in a short period of time.
Compared with this, the fill-in-the-blank questions in later Chinese college entrance examination questions are simply pediatrics among children, and there is no comparability at all.
For these scholars who took the imperial examination, this endorsement was considered a basic skill. Many of them had already mastered these four books and five classics.
But knowing the source is only the first step. You must also deeply understand the article based on the author's situation, the background of the time, etc., and you must also know the annotations of some Confucian sages in history.
If this step is done, then you can start the third step, which is to judge how you should answer the question based on current current affairs and politics, and the personal preferences and political views of the examiner in front of you. Sometimes if the meaning is reversed, Well, even if it is written in a colorful way, it is of no use.
Having achieved this step, congratulations, you can start writing eight-part essays, but do you think eight-part essays are very simple?
According to the rules set by classmate Zhu Yuanzhang, this eight-part essay starts with solving the question, and every step has extremely strict requirements. It is definitely not easy to write out the answer to the question according to the requirements of the eight-part essay.
??Okay, if you write a good eight-part essay, do you think it¡¯s done?
No, there is still something to do, and that is to find out whether there is anything taboo in the eight-part essay you wrote.
There were many taboos in the ancient royal family, including major taboos, minor taboos, etc. To put it simply, it is equivalent to the ancient river crab god, and there are many things that cannot be written on it.
For example, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was named Zhu, and this pig was a taboo. In addition, things like Zhu Di taking away his nephew's kingdom were definitely not allowed to be mentioned. This was a taboo. In addition, there were emperors, empresses, empress dowagers, and empress dowagers throughout the ages. The name of the late emperor, his reign, etc. are also not allowed to be mentioned. These are minor taboos.
Only when all these are done and done well can it be regarded as a successful eight-part essay. Otherwise, if you make any mistake in any step, you will face the situation of losing your reputation.
Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan were very slow in answering the question. It took them more than an hour to figure out the origin of the question. Of course, during the imperial examination, there was plenty of time. Usually, the exam lasted three days and three in a row. Night time is relatively sufficient.
As for Liu Jin, he was very bored waiting, so he wrote an article early. To be precise, he copied an eight-part essay and then left the study, leaving the two of them meditating hard on what to do. How to answer the question.
The imperial examination is not something that ordinary people can take. Everyone who can stand out in the imperial examination is a person with real talent and practical knowledge. Of course, this real talent and practical knowledge is only limited to Confucian things, which is too one-sided and narrow. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
