Datang Live Room

"Anchor, I want to watch little Zheng's college entrance examination... No, I want to watch little Zheng Chunwei!"

"Want to see +1!"

"Want to see +10086!"

"This Chunwei is not as simple as the college entrance examination, right?"

"Definitely, how many students across the country can participate? And the admission rate is also horribly low!"

"I only watched Chunwei in the TV series, but after watching the host's live broadcast, I realized that it is very different from the TV series."

"Not to mention anything else, the host just attended the imperial meeting. There were so many civil and military officials there that you can't see in TV dramas."

"I just counted, there are 222 officials in the entire hall plus our anchors!"

"Hahaha, what a 2 data!"

Yan Kai said with a smile: "According to the rules, only people of fifth rank and above can participate in the Great Court Meeting. There are probably close to 200 civil servants of fifth rank and above in Chang'an. However, there are also those who go on business and take leave. It is estimated that more than 100 people can go."

"With the addition of dozens of military attachés and me, we just come up with this number."

Officials in the Tang Dynasty were relatively streamlined.

There are only so many people in court.

For example, in the 23rd year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, more than 1100 people went to court at one time.

Most of the officials could only stand outside the hall.

"Anchor, tell us more about the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Yes, yes, what is the difference between the Tang Dynasty imperial examination and the one seen on TV?"

Yan Kai was visiting Chang'an City in a carriage at this time.

Many netizens in the live broadcast room had seen the prosperity of Chang'an City on their first day here.

In addition, there was nothing to explain. When he saw netizens in the live broadcast room asking to talk about the imperial examination, he introduced it casually.

"Everyone knows that in ancient times, the scholar and the scholar were two different stages of literati."

"Jinshi is much higher than a scholar, so Fan Jin won the imperial examination because an old scholar won the imperial examination."

"You still have to take the imperial examination. If you pass the exam, you will be considered a Jinshi."

At this time, a barrage asked: "Anchor, I saw that some self-media said that a scholar is equivalent to a junior high school student, a junior high school student, and a Jinshi are college students. Is this true?"

"It's a daddy!" Yan Kai smiled and shook his head: "Listen to their nonsense!"

"Whose college student has more than twenty in a year?"

"Only more than 20 people? So few? More than 20 people a year, which is less than the number of recommended places in Qingbei!"

"It can't be compared like this. There are so many people and candidates now!"

Yan Kai agreed with this. He said: "Indeed, there are far fewer scholars at this time than in later generations. However, the admission rate for Jinshi is still very low."

"According to records, in the 282 years of imperial examination history in the Tang Dynasty, a total of 273 imperial examinations were held, and a total of about 8455 scholars were admitted, of which about 6692 were Jinshi. An average of 23 people a year!"

"But now that the anchor has passed, the number of Jinshi in Datang will increase in the future, right?"

Yan Kai was confident that as long as the living standards of the Tang Dynasty people were improved and basic education became more popular, the number of Jinshi would naturally increase.

Some people may think that there are only so many official positions in the Tang Dynasty. What if there are more Jinshi and there are not so many positions?

Yan Kai just wanted to say, couldn't the Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty be allowed to serve as officials in places like Tianzhu, Persia, Ryukyu, Nanzhao, Zhenla, Luzon, Annan, and Piao?

As long as you are willing to overcome it, there are always more ways than difficulties!

I asked the guard to help me buy a piece of Huazhe Goose Cake. I came out so early in the morning and stuffed some random things in. I was also hungry at this time.

"What are you eating here, anchor? It looks so good!"

"Huazhe goose cake is a kind of snack from the Tang Dynasty. The outside is made of rice cakes folded repeatedly into a flower shape, and there is goose meat inside!" Yan Kai said with some pride:

"If I hadn't purchased goose and duck down in large quantities, which caused the price of goose meat to gradually drop, only rich families could afford this flower-shaped goose cake, and you wouldn't see it on the street!"

"Anchor, we're talking about the imperial examination, don't go wrong!"

Yan Kai pursed his lips. Isn't this what you asked yourself?

But he quickly brought the live broadcast topic back.

"Where did you say that? Oh, I said that not many people get Jinshi every year. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there are even fewer scholars than Jinshi! Because the scholars in the Tang Dynasty are not what future generations mean!"

"The Chunwei Examination of the Tang Dynasty is divided into six subjects, the Xiucai Subject, the Jinshi Subject, the Ming Jing Subject, the Ming Fa Subject, the Ming Zi Subject and the Ming Suan Subject, the Scholar Subject is the boss!"

"Books such as "New Book of Tang·Election Chronicles" list the scholar subject as the first frequently selected subject, which mainly examines national policies. "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty" records that "the scholar should try five strategies."

"So now, this scholar is very valuable. The scholarship stopped after Gaozong."

"Because of the huge difficulty, many times only one person can be selected, or no one can be selected. Throughout the early period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan appointed 6 scholars, Li Shimin appointed 22 scholars, and Li Zhi appointed one scholar."

"There are only 29 scholars in the entire Tang Dynasty. How impressive!"

Yan Kai said this while hiding in his carriage. The sound insulation effect was very good and no one outside could hear him. Otherwise, it would have been a big deal to hear him calling Li Yuan and Li Shimin by their names, especially since he also said that Li Zhidu had personally appointed him. Scholars say this.

"In the early Tang Dynasty, only one among millions of people could become a scholar! After the Xiucai Department was abolished, the Jinshi Department became more and more popular."

"Although it is extremely difficult and the admission rate is only 12%, there are a lot of people applying."

"The Jinshi Science Examination mainly consists of three contents: "Piecing the Classics", "Essays" and "Policy Questions". The "Essays" are almost like the current dictation fill-in-the-blank questions, testing your familiarity with the classics. The essays are like composition questions, testing your poetry. Empowerment. Policy questions are almost discussion questions, usually the five current policy questions, which examine the understanding of national policies and responses to current affairs."

"I am getting ashore in Kaogong, and my head feels heavy after listening to it!"

"The Tang Dynasty exam is obviously more difficult."

"After all, if you pass the Jinshi exam, you will directly become a fifth- and sixth-rank official, which is equivalent to being a provincial and municipal leader now."

Yan Kai went on to introduce: "The subject Sanming Jingke is a test of Confucianism and Taoism. The Tang Dynasty divided the scriptures into serious classics and miscellaneous classics. Among them, there are nine serious classics, which are divided into three levels according to the difficulty level: large, medium and small. I don't agree on it. I told you once."

“The most interesting thing about Mingjingke is that their exams are similar to a level-breaking game, that is, you can only enter the next level if you pass the first level!”

"Liu, was this the way exams were played during the Tang Dynasty?"

"Thank you to the anchor. If the anchor hadn't said this, I would still be a fool."

"Tell me, tell me, how did you get through this level? My soul as a game master can no longer be restrained!"

Yan Kai thought about what Zheng Zhixun said to himself: "The first level is to comment on the scriptures; the second level is to test the meaning. The examiner sets the questions and the candidates answer orally to test the understanding of the scriptures. There are usually ten questions; the third level is to test the understanding of the scriptures. Policy theory usually has three "current policies" to test the ability to connect theory with practice. "

"It sounds difficult. There are more than ten serious miscellaneous scriptures, so memorizing them won't be easy!"

Seeing this barrage, Yan Kai knew that some netizens had misunderstood, and quickly explained:

“It’s not all that needs to be memorized. They also have levels of Ming Jing, including the Five Classics, the Three Classics, the Second Classic, and the First Classic of Learning. For example, if you take the Second Classic, the content of the test will be one each of the Small and Small Classics or two of the Middle Classics! Specifically! Candidates can decide which ones to take, so this is actually the most lenient test in Datang, and it also admits the largest number of people.”

"The first three subjects are all paid more attention to by the Tang government, but the last three subjects are slightly less important!"

Feeling thirsty, Yan Kai opened the window again and asked someone to buy him a frozen drink.

It is a drink with ice on the bottom and rice wine on top.

Yankai's alcohol capacity can also handle several large bowls. Every time he drinks this, he feels that his alcohol capacity is terrifying!

Because it was February, the price of ice was not that expensive, but it was not affordable for ordinary people. This bowl cost almost 20 yuan.

"The Ming Law Department is almost like a judicial examination. There are about two levels. One level is legal practice, which tests whether you are familiar with the laws and regulations. The second level is a written examination. You will usually be given ten specific cases to judge."

"The Mingzi test is about calligraphy level, and it is also divided into two parts. The first test is the familiarity with "Shuowen" and "Zi Lin", and then there is the oral test related content."

"Anchor, this exam is suitable for you!"

"Hahaha, does asking the anchor to blind an examiner count as an examiner?"

"Examiner: Listen to me and thank you!"

Yan Kai turned a blind eye to the netizens who mocked him.

"Finally, there is the math subject that Zheng Zhixun will take the test from the beginning. The test contents are "Nine Chapters", "Island", "Sun Tzu", "Five Cao", "Zhang Qiujian", "Xia Houyang", "Zhou Bi" ", "Five Classics", "Zhu Shu" and "Ji Gu" are ten works.

"Family members who want to travel through time can place an order in advance in my live broadcast room. I have the version annotated by Xiao Zheng here. I guarantee that as long as you thoroughly understand these ten books, it will not be a big problem to get the top score in the math test in ancient times."

"Of course I don't want Xiao Zheng's annotated version. After more than ten years, the Tang Dynasty's official "Ten Books of Suan Jing" annotated by Li Chunfeng will also be on the shelves!"

"The anchor is so awesome, he can even get on the pornographic car!"

"Wait a minute, haven't many of the ten scriptures been lost for more than a thousand years?"

Yan Kai was also stunned. Is this also lost? Zheng Zhixun found a lot of them, and he often heard later generations talking about Sun Tzu's calculation of scriptures, etc. He never thought that these books could be lost?

It was originally just a joke after introducing the imperial examination to everyone, and I planned to stop broadcasting it. As for selling books, it was also just a joke.

I didn’t expect that there are actually lost ones!

I quickly checked and found out that this was indeed the case.

"Xiahouyang Suanjing" was written by Xiahouyang, a native of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The original book has been lost.

The later "Xiahou Yang Arithmetic Classic" is a practical arithmetic book written by Han Yan during the reign of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Xiaotong, the author of "Ji Gu Suan Jing", also came to Kuoding County to exchange arithmetic with Zheng Zhixun. This book was basically lost when it was published in the Ming Dynasty.

There is also "Zhu Shu" written by Zu Chongzhi. This book is the most difficult among the Ten Classics. Students of Guozijian studying this book have to study for 4 years.

It was mainly based on actual measurement of astronomical phenomena. Because it was too difficult, it was lost after hundreds of years.

Yan Kai sighed, it's just dark under the lamp, I didn't expect so many fish to slip through the net!
