After the winter solstice, the New Year class will be immediately.

The first half of the moon is still taught by the mountain and Lin Yin. The lecture consists of twenty chapters of the Analects of Confucius, thirty-three chapters of the Doctrine of the Mean, and one passing through ten major classics.

In the second half of the month, I will talk about the methods of breaking the Analects of Confucius, University, and the Eight-Legends of the Mean, as well as the ideas for the big questions. The monthly class focuses on the Analects of Confucius, University, and the Eight-Legends of the Mean. Generally, this is the course for one month. I completed Mencius in the previous month.

Lin Liao had to pass the Four Books in two months. Of course, the reason why the disciples in the outer sect have a foundation. For them, the Four Books class is just a review. If you really want to learn the Four Books seriously, it will take at least two years to make a contribution.

How to learn literacy in three years of elementary school, write with your pen, pronunciation of words, recite three hundred and thousands of words, and enhance the wise text. Then, I studied the Four Books for two years, and then selected one of the Five Classics as the original scriptures, studied the previous year, and finally studied various eight-legged essay methods and writing methods. After working hard for several years, I had the confidence to go to the child to fight with others.

This is the experience of an ordinary scholar, and no one has ever asked about it for ten years.

Of course, there are also various child prodigy, which shortened the past ten years a lot.

During the days of study, after the winter solstice, the days of the academy were still so peaceful. But more and more people were left to study in Ermei Bookstore.

The closer it is to the seasonal class once every three months, the more pressure the academy disciples are to study. Lin Yanchao felt that in the past few days, the words of classmates had obviously become less.

Lin Yanchao was also insensitive to this. He thought that as Yu Qingzhou said, he would be unable to relax for a moment. If he slacked off, someone would catch you up behind him.

The New Year class has finally arrived.

During the exam, Lin Yanchao felt five or six pairs of eyes and glanced at him from time to time.

Lin Yanchao suddenly guessed that they were suspicious and peeking at something. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. He sighed in an adult tone, "Young man, you young man."

The test questions are twenty questions on the postscript, five questions on the ink and meaning, and one question on the art.

There are ten more titles of the postscript than the last time, which shows that the academy attaches great importance to the basic skills of the postscript of the disciples.

Of course, whether the title of the postscript is ten or twenty, it is not bad for Lin Yanchao, but it only takes a little more writing and ink.

After Lin Yanchao's papers were reviewed, he answered the questions seriously.

The questions of the postscript and the ink meaning are answered without any effort. Of course, this is not difficult for the classmates in the outdoor room, so the real score is still about the art preparation questions.

The last art-making topic is to serve the king, respect the work before eating. This topic comes from Duke Ling of the Analects of Confucius. He was in a hurry to study. In the past half month, Lin Yanchao only memorized the Analects of Confucius, chapters and sentences of the Analects of Confucius, and only read five or six volumes of the Wenfu regarding the Analects of Confucius. He has not memorized this article of Duke Ling of Wei.

If I didn’t recite it, I answered it myself. Lin Yanchao memorized so many sample essays. I also listened to Lin Liao’s many ideas for solving the questions in class. I felt that my skills in eight-legged essays have also made some breakthroughs recently.

If you serve the lord, respect your work and then eat it. If you change it to modern language, you should do your job first and then talk to me about your salary.

Lin Yanchao thought of the commentary on this paragraph in Zhu Zi’s notes. It is a gentleman’s official position. Those who have officials and those who have slandered their duties, and those who have slandered their loyalties. They are just respecting my affairs, and they should not be willing to seek wealth first.

Then, let’s explain the problem from the collection of notes of Zhu Zi.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yanchao had a way of thinking and wrote on the draft paper that a gentleman's official position is to cultivate his position without seeking his salary.

Lin Yanchao pointed three points. A gentleman was a gentleman who worked for the king. He respected his job and did not seek his salary and then paid the salary. He pointed out the meaning of the question in every sentence. He did not miss the question, which could be considered a successful question. After Lin Yanchao finished writing it, he was excited. Finally, he solved a question with his own strength. However, this question was based on Zhu Zi's collection of notes. Without his own opinions, it was difficult to give him a high score.

Then Lin Yanchao wrote it down step by step, and finally stepped forward and handed over the paper to Lin Liao.

Lin Liao took Lin Yanchao's paper and looked directly at his article without reading his posts. He glanced at it first, and his expression improved a little, probably because he saw that Lin Yanchao did not use the sample essay "Big Questions and Small Questions Wenfu" to answer questions, and he felt better.

Lin Liao took a rough look and drew a triangle next to Lin Yanchao's sentence when he solved the problem.

Lin Yanchao knew that the ancients' routines of revising the volume were similar. The best way to write was to draw circles, then draw triangles, and then draw a vertical line, and finally hit a cross. Trying a cross means that you know nothing, and one vertical line means that you can barely pass the qualifications, and the triangle can still be viewed in one go, so drawing a circle is the best.

Then Lin Liao followed Lin Yanchao's lecture and started to draw a few verticals in the place where the stocks of the stock market were in the middle. Of course, the papers in this article were not as good as those in the last month. During the last month, the county school teacher corrected several small circles of papers.

But it was done by yourself after all.

Seeing that Lin Liao was about to speak to Lin Yanchao, the disciples on the spot all listened with their ears.

At that moment, Lin Liao said to Lin Yanchao gently: "It is okay to solve the problem, but it is still not enough to divide the shares. In short, it has made great progress."

Lin Yanchao said happily: "Thank you, sir."

What does it mean to make great progress? The disciples are not calm. Lin Yanchao was the second place in the exam for the last time, but this time he made great progress. He didn't want to get first place.

The disciples sighed.

What Lin Liao said to Lin Yanchao soon reached Chen Xinggui and Yu Ziyou's ears. And they also heard from the mouths of others that Lin Yanchao was doing the papers seriously from beginning to end, without typing a copy.

There is really no way out.

Before the results were released this time, no one asked Lin Yanchao how he was doing in the exam.

The results were released in the afternoon, and Lin Yanchao was ranked 22nd in the Outer House.

The disciples became messy in the wind, and they grew from the second place to the twenty-second place. It turned out that Lin Liao said that Lin Yanchao had made great progress, and that was how he grew.

This world is really incomprehensible. The disciples are powerless and are even lazy to post the exam to read Lin Yanchao’s paper.

Lin Yanchao was still standing at the top of the list and read all the top three papers.

Ye Xianggao's paper is that the sage discusses the righteousness of a minister, but only strives to commit suicide without seeking profit. A man who serves as a fortune is not the reason for serving the king...

Lin Yanchao looked at Ye Xianggao's paper and thought to himself that when he saw it, he only knew that Ye Xianggao's paper was well written, but he didn't understand what was going on. It was because the gap was too big. Now he could understand it almost, which means that the gap between me and him narrowed.

It seems that memorizing the sample essay is not completely useless. In the past month and a half, I have indeed made great progress as my husband said.

"Brother Lin!" Lin Yanchao stopped in front of the list, and suddenly spoke behind his back.

Lin Yanchao turned his head and it turned out to be Chen Xinggui.

"Brother Chen, what do you think of me?"

Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "I dare not take it as a teacher. Brother Lin, I have read your paper. I have made great progress."

Lin Yanchao said embarrassedly: "Where, how can you make a lot of progress from second to 22?"

Chen Xinggui smiled slightly and said, "I mean that Brother Lin's paper has improved a lot compared to the last New Year class, rather than the last monthly class."

Lin Yanchao was surprised. Could this person have seen through my abilities?

Chen Xinggui hurriedly said, "Brother Lin, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to inquire about anything. Everyone has their own way of reading. Brother Lin just doesn't come up with a way. I'll teach the Five Classics next month. Have you figured out which classics should be used as the main scripture?"

The Five Classics are the Yi, Poetry, Shangshu, Spring and Autumn, Book of Rites, and Imperial Examinations. The scholars only need to be proficient in the first classics. During the provincial examination, the five Classics are the top five who choose the best one of the classics.

Lin Yanchao said: "I have only arrived two months after I got to the academy. I would like to ask Brother Chen for advice."

Chen Xinggui said immediately: "I dare not. It seems that Brother Yanchao has not decided yet, which sutra should be used as the main sutra."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know which sutras are most of the disciples of the academy?"

Chen Xinggui smiled and said, "The mountain master is good at managing the Spring and Autumn Period, and then assists in writing and poetry; he is good at managing the Book of Songs, and he is also familiar with the other four classics. Therefore, in the academy, there are more disciples who regard the Book of Songs as the main scriptures."

"Spring and Autumn, the Book of Songs!" Lin Yanchao nodded, just like the children of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, discussing family readings, genealogy, and paying attention to the blood inheritance of the children of the gentry.

When studying the classics of the Han Dynasty, it was emphasized that it was taught from generation to generation, and it paid great attention to the relationship between teacher-education and teaching. For example, the Book of Songs is divided into four schools: Lu poetry, Qi poetry, Han poetry, and Mao poetry. Each teacher has different opinions on how to annotate the Book of Songs by his disciples.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were also three traditions of Zuo, Gongyang and Guliang, which were each in one faction, with masters and apprentices inherited and each in a system.

Therefore, during the Han Dynasty, we had to study the Book of Songs and choose a first-class school in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examination regulations stipulated how to annotate the five classics. However, it is generally what kind of classics the teacher is to cure, and what kind of classics the disciples also learn, which is a lineage.

According to the truth, Lin Yanchao should have studied the Spring and Autumn Period or the Book of Songs, but he had other ideas.
Chapter completed!
