At this time, the first session of the test was in full swing.
Everything in Gongyuan was completely silent, and you could only occasionally hear the clattering sounds coming from the cabin.
Qi Yu, on the other hand, was serious and focused on reviewing the examination questions.
After the scriptures and meanings comes the time and texts.
It has to be said that the exam on poetry in this subject is quite heavy, with as many as ten articles!
This is also the most stressful time Qi Yu has felt since he took part in the imperial examination.
You know, poetry has always been my biggest weakness, but now I have to write ten poems in one breath. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to think about it.
The head is a bit big.
More than one person has evaluated his poems, saying that they are rich in craftsmanship but not spiritual enough. To put it bluntly, they are not vivid enough. This kind of congenital flaw cannot be improved in a short time.
What I can improve is only my skills.
However, there are experts who have given guidance on this aspect.
This person is none other than Luo Yuan Luo Jijiu.
When I visited him last time, he talked about the layout and techniques of Shiwen.
For example, how to choose the best entry point when breaking the topic and establishing the topic; how to skillfully use the tone of the saint when starting the speech and starting the topic; how to use your own wording in the final conclusion, etc.
wait.
Although these are just general directional pointers, they can effectively improve the structure of the entire poem and are very practical.
Of course, the central idea of the poem must be highlighted and the virtues should be praised as much as possible.
Qi Yu followed these techniques, quoted from many sources, racked his brains, and finally smoothed out these ten poems.
Okay or not, let's leave it like this for now.
As far as Shi Wen is concerned, he doesn't pursue high ratings, and it's already pretty good if he doesn't hold back.
Continue reading the questions below.
Um?
Qi Yu just took a quick look and couldn't help but feel happy.
It turned out to be more than a dozen arithmetic problems with insufficient answers!
hehe……
Although the portion is also large, don’t worry, it’s a piece of cake even if it’s not more than a dozen dishes, or even a hundred dishes!
We are not good at writing, but arithmetic is our strong point!
Learn from each other's strengths?
Haha~~~
For the first time since the imperial examination, Qi Yu had a clear sense of superiority.
Moreover, it is very rare.
…
Three days passed by suddenly, tense and fulfilling!
At the beginning, Qi Yu was a little worried, fearing that he would get sick or something, but this time he was overly worried. In the past three days, his health has been very good, and the fried noodles without oil and water are delicious.
Has your physical fitness improved?
of course not.
The reason is because of good luck, this time there was no leakage in the stall. Although it was a bit cold at night, it was still able to withstand it.
The only thing that felt suffocating was the wretched bed. Because it was too short, it was very uncomfortable to lie on it and stretch out my legs.
These three days are very tight.
Because the weight of the exam questions is so large, the limited time must be allocated as much as possible.
Review the topic, draft, correct, polish, and finally copy the transcript with confidence.
Qi Yu did arithmetic very quickly, which squeezed out a lot of time for other exam questions. Overall, it was barely enough.
As for performance, I feel it's okay.
Boom!!
The gong sounds, time is up!
Yes, the first exam of the general examination is officially over!
Then the papers are sealed and the candidates leave.
…
Outside the gate of Gongyuan, there was still the sound of Weiran sighing one after another.
Their consensus was that the first session was too difficult, especially the dozen or so fatal calculation problems of "overs and unders". It took a lot of thinking to solve only half of them.
Others lamented: I had heard that a wonderful book on arithmetic had recently been published, called "The Solution to Profit and Loss", but it was a pity that I didn't bother to read it, but now it is too late to regret it.
Qi Yu's mouth twitched when he heard this: Huh? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have written that arithmetic book. Looking at it now, wouldn't it be possible that it helped competitors?
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the gate of Gongyuan.
It is Yin Jun.
However, I saw that his face was as usual and he was relaxed, and he seemed to be performing well.
Well, this guy is a talented man. He wrote a poem in seven steps during the Deer Ming Banquet. As far as contemporary literature is concerned, he can basically do it at the drop of a hat.
At this time, he also saw Qi Yu, so he came over.
"How did you do on the exam?"
"Two women, both."
"Uh...really? Oh, I almost forgot, you are proficient in arithmetic." Yin Jun nodded suddenly, and then said: "But poetry is your weakness, and this scene is full of problems.
Don’t you think it’s a big headache after taking ten exams?”
Um?
Why does it sound a bit gloating?
Huh, you damn sissy!
However, Qi Yu was not angry. Instead, he asked with a smile: "What? From what you said, do you mean you want to surpass me in this subject?"
Yin Jun was very honest this time, nodded directly, and then said with full confidence: "I am a strong person, so it is normal for me to surpass you. Don't forget, I won the Asian Yuan in the provincial examination."
, although you have stolen the limelight, my achievements are still there."
Huh? Haven’t you forgotten this?
Be careful!
However, you still can't show weakness with your mouth.
Qi Yu chuckled and said: "Remember..."
Yin Jun interrupted directly and said: "Are you trying to say again that you are the uncle?"
"So smart, my good nephew..."
After that, Qi Yu left leisurely, leaving behind Yin Jun who looked embarrassed.
Time is very tight now, how can I have time to argue with him?
Just go ahead and do whatever you have to do!
The second exam will start tomorrow, so I have to seize the time to buy food supplies today! Then I have to have a good sleep to recuperate my spirit and wait for work.
The body is the capital of revolution.
Only by adjusting yourself to the best condition can you successfully fight this tough battle.
Qi Yu bought the food and hurried back to his residence, only to see Tan Junyan sitting in the yard in a daze with a frown on his face. Looking at him like this, he seemed to have failed in the exam.
I can only say a few words of comfort, but what else can I do?
…
The day goes by in a blink of an eye.
The next day, all the candidates got up early and hurried to line up at the gate of Gongyuan.
Today's verification and frisking was relatively smooth, and apart from a few unlucky ones being clicked off, there wasn't much trouble.
Enter the market and take the candle.
After that, Qi Yu entered his own 'number'.
Alas!
No one dumped the Gongtong, and it seemed to be fermenting...
hold onto!
Mencius said: Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, his mind and will must first be tortured... his body will be exhausted... so he must be tempted to endure!
Yes, yes, I don’t have the sense of smell, I don’t smell the smell...
Take a deep breath, force yourself to calm down and mark the exam!
Review the questions first.
Haha, I got the essay test, and there are three major essays in this test.
Big portions too!
Let’s talk about the first two articles first.
One is about bamboo, and the other is about pine. The themes are somewhat similar.
How to understand this kind of question?
From the central idea, it is to compare things with people, profoundly explain the importance of self-cultivation, and promote the so-called integrity.
Take 'bamboo' as an example. You must write the noble meaning of 'bamboo can be burned but cannot destroy its integrity', and then relate it to yourself and say something about how to use it as a model to become a strong and honest gentleman.
, so on.
Generally speaking, the difficulty of these two articles is not very high. As long as the rhetoric is gorgeous, they can usually get a moderate rating.
