In the blink of an eye, the date for the Taoist test at the end of February arrived. As usual, Fang Yingwu went to the county town one day in advance and moved into Xiang Chengxian's house. From this point of view, the local children still benefited from the great master's visit to Linchun'an.
, no need to travel around the city for reference.
Facing the last level in the third level, which is also the level where he is completely transformed from a second-class citizen to a first-class citizen, Fang Tongsheng is relatively calm and relaxed. He has done everything he needs to do, and now he can only wait for the results.
In the early morning of the next day, Fang Yingwu carried the examination basket and went to the gate of the county school to wait for roll call. The Dao examination was much stricter than the county examination and the government examination. In a sense, the Dao examination was the road to the imperial examination.
Officially starting, the county and government examinations can only be regarded as preliminaries for qualifications.
Inspection methods such as taking off shoes and removing hair buns also made a grand appearance in the Taoist examination, destroying the emotions of candidates who were about to enter the scholar class.
Following the flow of people, Fang Yingwu passed the door and slowly entered the examination room. The county examination was also taken here last year. The layout this time was not much different from the county examination. Tables and desks were neatly arranged in the open air on both sides of the corridor.
Fang Yingwu found his seat according to the test number on the test paper he received, and began to close his eyes and meditate. After an unknown period of time, several drums rang, and the centralized Taoist examination in Chun'an and Sui'an counties in the 14th year of Chenghua began.
Fang Yingwu opened his eyes and saw two clerks holding exam question signs and shouting questions while walking back and forth on the corridor.
The Dao examination, the county examination, and the government examination all have two questions, but they are different. One is a question on the Four Books, and the other is a question on the Five Classics. Unlike the county examination, the government examination has two questions on the Four Books.
Those with bad ears can read the sign, and those with bad eyesight can listen to the shouting. Fang Yingwu was relatively close to the corridor, enough to see the title on the sign clearly. He saw the title of the four books first, which was clearly "Sex is Hard, There's Something About It".
This topic made Fang Yingwu's mood fluctuate a lot. He had just returned home from Juanju Academy a few days ago and was in a state of madness (Sister Lan's childish words). He once wrote an article "There's Something About Sex".
I encountered a familiar topic today, which is of course a good thing. I feel like I have the pleasure of betting on the topic, which is a good sign of good luck! Just copy the original article from the day before yesterday, and everyone who writes articles knows that writing in a crazy state
What comes out is often of the highest quality.
But Fang Yingwu couldn't be happy immediately. Instead, he felt a little sad. This kind of good luck, similar to winning a bet on a question, might as well appear in the future major examinations such as the provincial examination or above! In this kind of Taoist examination that has opened up the joints
Encountering familiar questions is simply a waste of resources!
After sighing and sighing, Fang Yingwu looked at the Five Classics questions again, and immediately found that there were only two Five Classics questions.
The first one is "Qi Xi invites the old man, and the Marquis of Jin asks about his heir", which comes from "Spring and Autumn"; the second one is "A gentleman loves others with virtue, and a gentle person also loves others with tolerance", which comes from "Li"
remember".
Suddenly the entire examination room was in an uproar because these Five Classics questions were very abnormal! As mentioned earlier, the Four Books are compulsory courses for scholars, and the Five Classics are elective courses. You only need to choose one of the Five Classics to specialize in. For example, Fang Yingwu is studying "Spring and Autumn".
Of course, "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are the two most difficult classics. Today, few people choose to study these two classics.
When it comes to the examination of the Five Classics, questions must be asked in each classic. That is to say, there must be five questions in the Taoist test, and candidates only need to choose the questions from their own classics to answer.
But now in this Taoist examination, there are only two questions on the Five Classics: the Spring and Autumn Period and the Book of Rites! In other words, there are no questions on the other Three Classics, how can the candidates not be in an uproar! Most people don’t study the Spring and Autumn and the Rites.
"Ji", how to answer the question?
Immediately afterwards, another clerk was holding a sign, and the sign mentioned the official notice and gave an explanation——
"In recent years, morale has been impetuous, and there are many people who are greedy for simplicity. Many scholars have not studied the "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites". If this continues, I am afraid that my knowledge will be lost!"
Therefore, students are ordered to study "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites". In this examination, the candidates will be selected based on the questions from the Four Books, and the ranking will be determined based on the questions from the Five Classics.
Those who can write the chapters with the title of "Spring and Autumn" and "Etiquette" in parallel are qualified as supplementary students; those who can write can be qualified as supplementary students; those who can write policy essays are qualified as supplementary students."
Seeing that this time the candidates were selected based on the questions from the Four Books, and the questions from the Five Classics were only used as a reference for determining the ranking, the candidates gradually calmed down, and no trouble occurred in the examination room.
Examinations below the provincial examination are very random, and it almost depends on the examiner's personal interests and wishes, so it can be seen that it is average.
Grand Master Li Shishi did not take the usual path this time. He used the excuse of avoiding the loss of the classics and set the order based on "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites". Those who could write chapters silently and compile eight-legged essays at the same time were appointed as diners, and those who could compile
Those who write eight-legged essays should be recruited as student members, and those who can write policy essays should be affiliated with students.
This is a great thing for Fang Yingwu - he happens to be the one who governs "Spring and Autumn"!
The predecessor of Fang Yingwu before the time travel was good at rote memorization, but he had to memorize a copy of "Spring and Autumn", so now Fang Yingwu has no problem writing "Spring and Autumn" from memory. As long as he compiles it again
If you write an eight-part essay, you can directly serve as a student student after entering the county school!
However, it is said that there are three levels of student students in the county. The first level is the endowed student members, who receive state endowments; the second level is the extended student members, with a lower status; and the third level is the attached student members, with an even lower status.
Those who have just passed the examination and entered the school can only serve as affiliated students. Only if they perform well in the annual examination and other examinations can they be promoted to endowed students or extended students.
Now that the Grand Master had done something unique and unique, Fang Yingwu was very surprised and pleasantly surprised. He felt as happy as if he had eaten iced watermelon on a June day.
Being selected as a scholar is not a surprise, as he has been mentally prepared for it, but being selected as a scholar does not require the hard work of upgrading, and he directly becomes a first-class caterer who receives a monthly national subsidy of six tons of food. That is definitely a big surprise.
Moreover, it is easy for the boarding students to obtain the qualifications of the provincial examination, which is not full of uncertainty like most extension students and attached students.
You must know that the qualifications for the provincial examination are also limited, and it does not mean that everything will be fine if you are a scholar. Chun'an County has a profound background and may have more than 100 scholars, but no more than 40 can participate in the provincial examination.
Fang Yingwu couldn't believe it. Could it be that the great master took the initiative to reciprocate his kindness? When they met secretly the day before yesterday, they briefly talked about their studies.
If it was indeed the grand master who did this on purpose, then he is really a very meticulous and creative person in small places. He can create such opportunities out of thin air. He is worthy of being someone who was so creative that he dared to rebel with King Ning decades later.
.
After thinking wildly for a moment, Fang Yingwu settled down and started writing the answer sheet. The process went smoothly. The four book questions were drafted and he was finished quickly. However, the Spring and Autumn Question was a waste of effort. After dictating the chapter where the question was located, it took a lot of effort.
It took me two hours to come up with an eight-legged essay.
After the copying was completed, Fang Yingwu stood up and handed in the paper, and a clerk collected the paper to confirm his name. The examiner, Grand Master Li, left Fang Yingwu behind again and asked a few questions, which counted as an interview.
Grand Master Li asked: "In the Analects of Confucius, the two characters "zi yue" are the most common. With this as the title, you can try to break it."
This was a small test of the technique of the eight-part essay. Fang Yingwu was average in the entire article, but he still had some experience with the small skills in the first few sentences. He immediately imitated the format of the eight-part essay and answered: "A common man can be a teacher for hundreds of generations. One sentence
And for the law of the world!"
Grandmaster Li asked again: "How can you break the problem of using your name to correspond to something?"
Fang Yingwu thought for a while and replied: "The surname Fang is the foundation of life, and the name Yingwu is the way to live in the world!"
This means that one must be upright in life and behave accordingly. Grandmaster Li laughed, waved his hand and let Fang Yingwu leave.
Several children who had passed the county and government examinations together with Fang Yingwu were filled with envy when they saw this scene.
Although this person is young, he is truly a proud man. He was left to talk to and interviewed by the examiner at all three levels of the county examination, government examination, and road examination. What kind of good opportunity is this?
If the word spreads, it is enough to make a small name. How can someone who is valued by the three pole examiners at the same time be any worse? He must be regarded as a highly anticipated talent. If nothing else happens, there must be Fang Yingwu's name on the list of questions for this Taoist examination!
