I can't find anything similar, why can't I select the word?
You can always find something, and then you can use it yourself.
Lu Fang was quite lucky and was arranged to take the exam indoors. Of course, whether this was done deliberately is open to question.
But at least you don't have to stand outside in the scorching sun.
It was much hotter and stuffier in the tent than in the room.
I guess many people had to drop out of the exam midway due to heat stroke.
Look at this examination room, there are about forty candidates. Some are old, some are young.
The man on the left of Lu Fang must be in his forties, looks a bit honest to the point of being honest, and is dressed in shabby clothes. His clothes are also patched.
On the right is a little kid with an exquisite gilt longevity lock on his chest, probably less than fourteen years old.
It's such an obvious contrast.
Lu Fang didn't intend to talk to the two of them, so he picked his fingernails to pass the time.
I was just enjoying myself when I suddenly felt a little heat in my ears.
When he turned his head, he saw only a head with a silly smile.
He quickly shrank back.
It was the honest middle-aged man who asked, "Where is this little brother from?"
Lu Fang noticed that his eyes seemed to have no focus, and said blankly: "Brother, these eyes..."
The honest middle-aged man smiled sarcastically, "Staying up late to read has ruined my eyes. I was so rude just now, so please don't take offense, little brother."
My mother!
How near-sighted are your eyes?
Lu Fang was a little speechless.
His face almost came to my face. He was almost like a blind man, right?
He was very puzzled as to how this man came to the county government office.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Then he said: "I am from this county. Where are you, brother?"
The honest middle-aged man sat back on his chair and said, "I am from Fengshan Village."
Never heard of it...
"oh."
Lu Fang nodded, but still couldn't hold it back and asked: "How many times has this happened to me, brother?"
The middle-aged man had a very gentle personality, but he smiled sheepishly, "This is the thirteenth time."
Lu Fang did the math.
There are 13 children's examinations twice every three years...
In the meantime, you may not apply for the exam due to some reasons.
These middle-aged scholars have been taking the exam for at least ten years.
"Brother, do you plan to continue taking the exam?"
"Haha, Xiao Ke's eyes are now useless. Apart from studying hard and taking the imperial examination, what else can he do?"
Lu Fang didn't know what to say.
With the eyesight of a middle-aged person, I have to sit next to the desk to read. I'm afraid it's really inconvenient to do other things.
As he was talking, the gong sounded again outside.
"Clang! Clang! Cang!"
It's time.
As the gong sounded again, someone outside shouted: "The exam is about to begin!"
"quiet!"
A minor official from Youxian County School shouted on the podium and was about to start distributing examination papers.
The middle-aged man quickly sat upright.
Lu Fang also saw someone in the examination room clasping their hands and starting to pray. Their lips were slightly opening and closing, and they were reciting some incantations.
When the examiner handed out the test papers to the table, Lu Fang stopped paying attention to other people.
Look down at the scroll.
There are two questions in total, one is self-cultivation and the other is governance.
The title of the chapter on self-cultivation is "Don't worry about others, don't worry about yourself, don't worry about others."
The topic of governing the country is "The prince then met Zhao Dun of Jin and formed an alliance with Hengyong."
Lu Fang looked a little big-headed.
He didn't even know where the previous question came from.
The latter also had some impression of Gongzi Sui, as he seemed to be Xiang Zhong, the second son of Duke Zhuang of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Although the Great Chongqing Dynasty appeared in this era, there were still many overlaps with the historical processes of later generations in the previous years.
Including the doctrine of saints.
But Lu Fang couldn't understand why.
He probably understood the meaning of this issue of governing the country. But there were too many things to explain, and he didn't know how to explain it.
The meaning of the classics is to explain it, and you don’t need to express your own opinions.
Those who need to express their own opinions are policy makers.
There is no other way but to use the hate value search engine.
There is nothing to hesitate about.
Lu Fang immediately opened the hatred value search engine.
"Searching does not worry about what others want, but worries about not knowing what others mean."
The system prompts: "Fifty points of hatred need to be consumed. Are the host sure to search?"
"Sure!"
"bite!"
"Don't worry about others because you don't know yourself; worry about not knowing others." It comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Xue Er", which means don't worry about others not understanding you, just worry about yourself not understanding others."
Lu Fang suddenly realized a problem.
This scripture meaning question should test the meaning of this sentence and its origin, etc. The more detailed it is, the better.
But... I don't know whether the historical trajectory of this era is exactly the same as that of the previous life.
At least in the past hundred years, there has been a big difference.
He had read in Yu Yuanwei's books that the historical trend of this world is Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, Sixteen Kingdoms, Southern and Northern Dynasties...
Until the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was no "Sui Dynasty". Instead, there was a country called Dameng, which was established by the northern nomads.
Then we come to Dayu. The founding emperor of Dayu expelled the northern nomads from the Central Plains and founded Dayu.
Generally speaking, Dayu is a bit like a combination of Sui, Tang and Song.
"Whatever!"
Lu Fang thought for a long time and gritted his teeth.
Writing is better than not writing.
The Analects of Confucius was published in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu only respected Confucianism and dismissed hundreds of schools of thought.
He had seen this in Yu Yuanwei's classics.
Even Dong Zhongshu has it. The Analects of Confucius should be the same as in the previous life, right?
He felt that he should supplement his knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics in the future. At least, he should compare it with the Four Books and Five Classics of later generations to see if there were any differences.
Immediately, he picked up his pen and started writing on the examination paper.
This sentence comes from "The Analects of Confucius·Xue Er", which means don't worry about others not understanding you, just worry about yourself not understanding others.
Then I also searched for interpretation.
Confucius taught students that in dealing with the world, they should have the spirit of not being ignorant, being able to accomplish what they should do in loneliness, and completing the benevolent cultivation they should have. Learning is for your own progress, not to use your energy.
Blame everything but others. To live in the world, you need to understand others. Only by having a peaceful mind can you truly understand others. Don't be harsh on others, and use your energy to improve your own abilities. A gentleman does not worry that no one understands him, and does not worry that he cannot establish a beautiful relationship.
Regarding reputation, I only worry that my own cultivation is not deep enough and I cannot fully understand others.
Although Lu Fang's handwriting is far from beautiful, there are so many words and the examination paper is quite beautiful.
Then the second question.
Follow the same pattern.
"Search for the origin, explanation and allusions of Prince Sui meeting Zhao Dun of Jin Dynasty and forming an alliance with Hengyong."
The system prompts: "Two hundred points of hatred need to be consumed. Are the host sure to search?"
"Sure!"
"bite!"
A lot of things really came to mind, which made Lu Fang very happy.
