The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Shi Yunchen didn't want to copy the topic, but in the end it was Lu Xiuyuan's rhetoric that persuaded the other party to agree.

Seeing the young master's busy figure, he also heaved a sigh of relief.

Now I can finally calm down and do the questions.

Lu Xiuyuan took the paper from the earliest year copied by the other party, spread out the paper, and was dumbfounded when he saw the title.

Is it human but not as good as a bird?Poetry Cloud: King Mu Muwen

This, the scope of this interception question seems to be a bit large, right?

The first half of the sentence comes from "University" "When you stop, if you know where you stop, can you be a human instead of a bird?"

It means that a gentleman should know how to advance and retreat, is he not as good as a bird?

Then the second half of the sentence went to the "Book of Songs", "King Mu Muwen, Yu Jixi respectfully stopped."

King Wen's demeanor is solemn and respectful, and his actions are upright and cautious.

Looking at it together, how could King Wen have anything to do with the bird, so this kind of interception question is also a special test of the examinee's comprehension ability.

If you want to do it right, you must first understand what the two sentences want to express, and what the full-text theme of the two articles wants to express. It must be combined with the background, so that you can closely follow the topic and answer the question without being biased.

The complete meaning of the first half of the sentence is probably the singing little yellow bird, which only perches on the hills. Confucius said: It is because he knows where to stay. Is man not as good as a bird?

It is Confucius who used birds to remind the world that we must know our moral boundaries and behavior standards, and we must do something and not do something. Birds know where they should inhabit. Are humans not as good as birds?If a person still blindly does not abide by the social order and human relations and etiquette, then such a person is not even as good as an animal.

In the second half, "King Mu Muwen, Yu Jixi respects and stops." In "Four Books Annotations", it says "Respect and stop, saying that there is no disrespect and stop in peace."

According to Zhu Zi, "Yu" is a lament, "Ji" is continuous, and "Xi" is bright. Together, they lament that King Wen can maintain his morality uninterruptedly, and move towards the ultimate goal with sincerity. good non-stop efforts.

There is shame in doing oneself and stop at the ultimate good. A gentleman has a sense of shame in doing things, and stops before reaching the ultimate good. Lu Xiuyuan started to solve the problem according to his own ideas.

Because there are many things to pay attention to, and it is the first time he really writes, so the writing time is a bit long.

After finally finishing writing, Lu Xiuyuan put down his pen and found that his back was sweating.

While standing by, Yun Chen kept paying attention to his expression, saw him stop, and quickly handed him some tea, "Take a sip to moisten your throat first."

He reached out to take it, took a sip and found that the water was warm, so he couldn't help but glance at the young master.

The other party touched his face and asked doubtfully, "What do you see me doing?"

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head, "It's nothing."

"Do you want to eat something and continue reading?" Shi Yunchen tentatively asked.

"No, no, I want to do two more questions."

Seeing his serious expression, the other party didn't disturb him, but left with the teapot in his hand.

There was only Lu Xiuyuan left in the room now, so he didn't waste any time and did the remaining two questions of the first round.

Fortunately, the last two questions were ordinary, but the first question was a little abnormal, and his mentality almost lost its stability.

After finishing the remaining two questions in one breath, Lu Xiuyuan withdrew from the ocean of Four Books and Five Classics, regained consciousness, and smelled the aroma of food outside.

I stretched my nose and sniffed it twice. It smells like meat. Is this stewed pig's trotter?In addition to the pig's trotters, he also smelled the smell of fried chicken, which was mixed with the rich meat aroma and the fresh courgette aroma.

He couldn't help but took two deep breaths and swallowed his saliva.

At this time, the outside door just opened, and Shi Yunchen poked his head in, "It's already noon, do you want to eat first?"

Lu Xiuyuan glanced at the test questions on the table, "Forget it, you eat first, I'll check the answers first, and we'll talk about it after lunch."

Hearing this, the young master couldn't help frowning his eyebrows, and the other party's voice was coaxing, "Today we have your favorite pig's trotters and fried chicken at noon."

He stretched out his right hand and refused righteously, "Those who fail the provincial examination are not worthy of eating pig's trotters!"

Seeing that he was determined to finish watching before eating, Shi Yunchen sighed and closed the door.

The room was quiet again, and Lu Xiuyuan quickly found out the top ten of this set of questions, as well as the essays written by Shi Yunzhang.

He first opened the No. 1 Jieyuan paper of the provincial examination, and looked at the opponent's solution.

"My wife is not as good as a bird, it is really shameful; shame, shame, no one can learn from King Wen."

Pausing for a moment, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh in shock!As expected of Xie Yuan, he was able to connect two outrageous sentences like this.

What this Jieyuan meant was that if you say that people are not as good as birds, that person will feel ashamed. Since you feel ashamed, why not learn from the noble King Wen of Zhou!

Compared with Lu Xiuyuan's problem solving, to put it mildly, it is quite satisfactory!

Afterwards, I couldn't wait to look through Yayuan and other rankings to compare with myself.

When reading other people's articles, Lu Xiuyuan obviously found that there was a big gap between what other people wrote and Xie Yuan's, but they each had their own points.

After reading other people's, then looking at his own, it's almost a thousand miles away, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but help his forehead.

This is too difficult!

After closing his eyes in frustration for a moment, he patted his cheek again, secretly cheering himself on.

"Come on, this is just the first actual combat practice. It's normal for us to have a good eye and a low hand. Just write more, practice more, and memorize more. You will definitely be able to do it!"

Pulling himself together, Lu Xiuyuan took Xie Yuan's article and compared it with his own, learning the subtleties of others one by one.

The requirements for stereotyped essays are strict, you have to speak in the tone of a saint, you have to speak in the tone of a saint, you can’t use romantic allusions to blaspheme the saint, each paragraph must stick to a fixed format, and even the number of words is strictly limited.

After comparing with the first ten articles, Lu Xiuyuan finally found out why he had such a situation that his eyes were high and his hands were low!

His biggest problem is that he understands the meaning in his heart, but his words are not refined enough, so he lacks in expressing the meaning.

Every sentence is almost meaningless, so the whole article is naturally crooked and out of shape.

As for the No.2 Yayuan, his idea of ​​breaking the topic is consistent with that of Lu Xiuyuan, but because of his precise words, he reads it coherently, with a sense of unity.

Seeing this, he decisively put down other people's papers and began to focus on this Yayuan's.

Sometimes No.1 is not the best, but the most important thing is to find the one that suits you.

His current writing style is naturally No. 2, so he hurriedly took advantage of the enthusiasm and started to study and recite the other party's articles.

An stereotyped essay is only a few hundred words, and Lu Xiuyuan, who is good at memorizing, read it a few times and memorized it.

After learning a few sharp words, he memorized them in his heart, closed his eyes and meditated. He conceived in his mind for a moment and thought of more suitable words and sentences.

So he took advantage of the inspiration, and quickly picked up his pen, and rewrote the first stereotyped essay according to his original idea.

By the time he finally finished writing, he was almost exhausted.

Leaning on the table, Lu Xiuyuan picked up the paper with his right hand, gently blew on the ink on it, and read the content silently, feeling that he has improved a lot from the first time he wrote it!

It's just that a few words were changed in some places, which actually played a finishing touch. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

The author has something to say: the male protagonist will definitely be unaccustomed to writing stereotyped essays at the beginning, but he has a way to improve, which will be revealed later, step by step, and he will definitely walk steadily.
