Through the ancient dark horse strategy

Ye Xiaoyi was stunned when the Yacha posted the title of "Classic and Meaning". It was a sentence from the advanced chapter of "The Analects of Confucius": "If you can do it, you can't die."

It just so happened that Ye Fangtian wanted to find him that night, and even mentioned the advanced chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" to him!

Tsk, did this guy leak the question to him on purpose?Although the title sentence is from the 13th chapter "Minzi's Attendant" in the advanced chapter, the allusion mentioned by Ye Fangtian about Confucius asking his disciples to express their ambitions comes from the last chapter in the advanced chapter "Zilu Ran Yougong Xihua Sitting".But Ye Xiaoyi just felt that this guy was leaking the question on purpose!

Damn, why didn't he get it then?This topic is very difficult, no wonder Ye Fangtian tried every means to reveal it to him in advance, but Ye Xiaoyi was totally unprepared.

For an hour after the exam started, Ye Xiaoyi spent the entire hour biting his pen, thinking about how to solve the problem?

"Jingyi" generally uses sentences from the Four Books as the topic, and candidates are asked to compose essays to clarify their meanings. Those who pass the "Jingyi" can basically be selected as scholars, which is why scholars can open private schools and accept students.

But the style of "Classic and Meaning" is not so easy to write. As a teaching material, it should be written in the tone of a sage, and you can't add your own messy opinions. In short, it must be authoritative.

Moreover, there is a fixed structure. The "classic meaning" of Zheng'er's Eight Classics generally consists of eight parts: breaking the topic, accepting the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the section, middle section, back section, and bundle section.

Ye Xiaoyi's headache was the first link: how to solve the problem.

The so-called breaking the question means using one or two sentences to explain the meaning of breaking the question.If it is a topic like "Threesomes must have my teacher." Such a topic, it is very easy to solve the problem.The meaning of this sentence is "to be open-minded and eager to learn, everyone can become their own teacher", and the key point is the word "modest".

Therefore, "modest" is the eye of the question, and to break the title is to take out the word "modest", and then use it to expand the full text.

But the questions of this test are very tangled.

"If you also, you can't die", the meaning of this sentence is: Confucius said, like Zhong You (Zi Lu), I am afraid that he will not end well (not die well)!

This sentence is to warn future generations that "it cannot be like routing", but what is it like if it cannot be like routing?This question is not easy to find.

Ye Xiaoyi has a very headache. This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius · Min Zi Shi Fang", the original text is: Min Zi Shi Fang, 訚訚如也.Zilu, do what you want.Ran You and Zi Gong are eloquent and eloquent.Zile. "If you do, you can't die."

The general idea of ​​this passage is: Confucius said, my students are all gentle and happy around me, and I am very happy.Only Zilu looks strong, and I am worried that he will not die well in the future.

That is to say, Confucius believed that Zilu was too strong, and that if he was strong, he would be easily broken.That is to know how to "retire"? "Back" is a problem, right?

But Zilu's "strength" is actually a very shining advantage. He needs to know how to "retire" and "bend" in order to retreat safely and "die well".Ye Xiaoyi always felt that the whole text would be inferior to the title of "retirement", and he would lose his integrity.

Ye Xiaoyi wrote this essay to ensure that he would win and get No.1, so he felt that this question was extremely difficult to solve.There must be better questions, Ye Xiaoyi continued biting his pen.

In fact, Zilu has many advantages, which should not be completely erased.Unlike other literati, Zilu was highly skilled in martial arts and very brave. He was a disciple of Confucius and his personal bodyguard. He was only half a literati, and most of them were warriors.

He has the arrogance of a warrior in his mind, but he also has the courage and chivalry of a warrior.He should not be judged only with the eyes of literati.

Confucius once commented on him, saying that Zilu just entered the hall and did not enter the house.It means that he is not my disciple, and Zilu has not learned my essence (the doctrine of the mean).

But as the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and second in martial arts. Do you still expect a warrior to know humility?Respect the mean?Isn't this forcing tigers to eat grass?

In fact, Ye Xiaoyi admires Zilu's type of younger brother very much, Zilu is the representative of "straightness" and "courage".These are his golden advantages.

Confucius said that Zilu "has no promises". He promised others that he would never delay until the next day, and he would definitely do it right away.This is Zilu's "straightforwardness" and "sincerity", which are his advantages.

Confucius' favorite disciple was the sub-sage Yan Yuan (Yan Hui), but Yan Hui accepted everything Confucius taught.Only Zilu would often argue with Confucius, pointing out the inadequacy of the teacher.

Confucius once said frankly that Yan Hui did not help me much, but Zilu could help me correct my mistakes.Since I got Zilu, I have never heard anyone give me a bad review.This is Zilu's "uprightness" and "straightforwardness", which is also an advantage.

Confucius also commented on Zilu and said: "If a few words can break the prison, it is because of it", which means that Zilu's words are never adulterated. Hearing Zilu's confession, he can break the prison and judge the case.This is Zilu's "straightforwardness", "integrity", or an advantage.

Such a "straight" way, if he changed it, he would become a mediocre warrior instead, Ye Xiaoyi felt that if he could compromise and seek perfection, then he would be called a villain.

As for Zilu's "courage", Confucius said: "If you can't do the right thing, take a boat and float in the sea, and follow me." Zilu was delighted to hear that.The Master said again: "You can be braver than me, and there is nothing to draw."

It means that if my theories do not work, and I reach the end of the road, I will take a small bamboo raft to go overseas to continue to promote my theories.At this time, the only one who is willing to continue to follow me is probably Zilu.

This is just a complaint made by Confucius when he was in trouble. The sea is extremely difficult and dangerous. Who would really cut bamboo and row it?Moreover, unfamiliar lands are more difficult, and Confucius will not really go there.

Zilu was "happy" when he heard it. He didn't care what tigers and wolves were ahead, as long as the teacher said to go, he was willing to follow.I don't understand the teacher's mood at all, and I can't share Confucius' worries.So Confucius said that Zilu was braver than me, but nothing else could help.

This is Zilu's "Yiyong", "Zhongyong" and "Luyong", and it is still an advantage in general.

Confucius often commented on Zilu, saying that he was a savage, a reckless man, and ignorant of etiquette, but this was just a difference between a literati and a warrior. In fact, Confucius loved Zilu the most.

None of Confucius' disciples dared to argue with Confucius, only Zilu often argued with Confucius, and Zilu said, "You are pedantic" (Master, you are pedantic).Confucius replied "Yuya Yuya" (Zhong You, a savage, what else do you do besides fighting?)

Confucius went to see Nanzi (a very coquettish and greedy woman), but Zilu was not happy.In order to coax Zilu, Confucius swears to the sky that I have nothing to do with her, and if there is a "Heaven hates it! Heaven hates it!", the sky will be struck by lightning.

It can be seen that Confucius and Zilu had a deep relationship. His most satisfied disciple was Yan Hui, and his closest disciple was Zilu.Confucius said "If you have the right, you can't die", probably because he felt that Zilu was too brave, and he didn't know how he would die.

However, "Zuo Zhuan · Ai Gong 15 Years" records that there was a civil strife in Wei, and Zilu heard the news outside the city that he was about to enter the city to save the Lord.

Another disciple of Confucius, Gao Chai (Zigao), escaped and told Zilu that the situation had been settled and told him not to make unnecessary sacrifices.Zilu went anyway, and was chopped into meat paste in the end, in response to Confucius' saying, "I will not die well."

Confucius once taught his disciples: "Don't enter a dangerous country, and don't live in a chaotic country. If there is a way in the world, it will appear, and if there is no way, it will be hidden." It means that the world is in chaos and there is injustice everywhere. When encountering wars, we should avoid them first.

But Zilu said: "If you eat someone else's salary, you can't avoid disaster." So he rushed into the city to save the Lord without hesitation, and died in the end.

Regarding "Zi Lu's death", Ye Xiaoyi was very conflicted about how to evaluate Ye Xiaoyi.To say that what he did is wrong is to teach people to be disloyal to the emperor and the post. If there is a war, what if all the subordinates leave the post?

Said that he did the right thing, but Confucius also said that he failed to protect himself, and the words of the sage in the "Classics" are irreversible.

In the end, Ye Xiaoyi simply bypassed Zilu, set the theme as "the saint's compassion" and "the emperor's compassion", and went to flatter the saint and the emperor.It is said that they are kind and love the people like children.

After finally deciding on a central idea, Ye Xiaoyi started to write.

Generally, there are eight parts: breaking the topic, supporting the topic, starting the lecture, starting the section, middle section, back section, and closing the section. For each section, you only need to write two to four sentences, and one or two hundred words can be combined. Heavy.

The first part is to solve the problem, that is to say, to solve the problem.Ye Xiaoyi decided on the meaning of the title: Confucius said this because he was worried about his disciples.To put it in two sentences in classical Chinese: a sage can't help but die, he is deeply worried and responsible.

According to the usual practice, the names of saints are not mentioned in breaking the title, and sages are generally used instead, and only the title part can start to mention things by name and surname.

The second part of the question is to further clarify the meaning of the question.Ye Xiaoyi quoted this sentence from "Minzi's Attendant", saying that Confucius was sympathetic, and he cared about every student, and he was especially worried when he saw Zilu like this.

The next part of the story is generally to explain the background of the story and the relationship between the characters, so that people can understand the ins and outs.The current textbooks also contain background knowledge and introductions.

Ye Xiaoyi introduced the process of Confucius and Zilu getting acquainted: 20-year-old Zilu danced a long sword and went to the Confucius school to make trouble.

In this part, Ye Xiaoyi used four lines of poems to lay out the process of the acquaintance between Confucius and Zilu, focusing on Confucius' "love".It is also customary to write in the tone of Confucius.

The next four strands are a bit like English composition in structure.The first share is to write the opinions of the sages, the middle share is to write the objective views, the second share is to write my opinions, and the closing shares are to summarize the principles.

According to the usual practice, "starting stocks" must be written in the tone of a sage, that is, the original words of the sage must be quoted.

It is not appropriate to really add the author's point of view to my point of view in "back stocks", but to write about my gains and inspirations based on the words of the sages and objective points of view.

Because of the four parts from the strands to the strands, each strand has two parallel sections, one positive and one negative, one virtual and one real, one deep and one shallow to fully prove each part.Therefore, the last four sections of "Jingyi" generally have eight sentences with beautiful parallelism, so they are called "eight sections".

Stereotyped essays have the highest technical content. If stereotyped essays are done well, you can do whatever you want, poetry if you want, and poems if you want.

So after a stereotyped essay comparison, the examiner basically knows the level of the students.Ye Xiaoyi could only work hard to write these eight beautiful parallels, wishing to write every sentence as a poem.

Ye Xiaoyi spent the whole day searching his guts, looking for materials to prove how Confucius "compassioned students".

Let’s start with an example. People like Zilu are beneficial to others, but they don’t know how to protect themselves. Confucius sympathized with him.Let's talk about Confucius "love people" from other examples.Then further prove Confucius' benevolence from other materials.

The final conclusion is: Zilu has been brave all his life and has never lost his heart. He doesn't know how to protect himself, but Confucius is enough to worry about him.

The inspiration is: when we are in trouble, we don't need to feel that we are suffering and have resentment. There are saints and emperors who are merciful to us.

After Ye Xiaoyi finished writing this flattering article, he felt like throwing up.This kind of view is too hypocritical, but those in high positions will definitely love to hear it, and will use it as a model.

When the rankings were released, Ye Xiaoyi really won the championship again, ranking first in the academy examination.

The top ten articles leaked out, and Ye Xiaoyi went to buy them to have a look.Sure enough, other examinees all criticized Zilu as worthless, calling him reckless, brave, and a bunch of brave and foolhardy.Their central idea is the theme of the entire advanced chapter, "too much is too late", that is to say, Zilu should "retire" at the right time.

Only Ye Xiaoyi praised Zilu's benefit to the country, and said with a high level of consciousness, "I will suffer even if I suffer, and the emperor is sympathetic to the world."

Ye Xiaoyi's article was stamped with an "A", and the articles of the other nine people were all "B", Ye Xiaoyi immediately felt that making an article was just speculation.A better intention is the key to victory.

Finally won the "Little Three Yuan", this time Ye Xiaoyi can justifiably be sent to the township examination.

The township examination will be held in August, and there are still two months to go before the examination. Ye Xiaoyi can finally stop for a rest after ten consecutive examinations.He also has time to deal with that big liar Xiao Mo!
