Lu Yao believes that he has fully informed Chen Chen and Pan Wen about the coach's ability and role. Although ancient Cuju and modern football are two sports in the final analysis, even if Lu Yao combined them
Modern football methods and methods have created such a new type of Cuju, but in terms of game time and game intensity, there is no way to compare with modern football.
What's more, in modern football, the reason why coaches can exert their strength is actually closely related to the fact that each team has so many stars. As the saying goes, if there is a raging army, there will be a raging group of generals. And coaches, in fact,
The role he plays is more like a prize, just like playing cards. The more stars or strong people in your team, the more cards you have, so you have more confidence when playing cards.
It will be more sufficient, and of course, your playing style will also become more varied.
In fact, it is normal to say that Lu Yao did not think about being a coach at first, but now that he thinks about it carefully, why did he neglect such a position at that time? Now that Lu Yao thinks about it, part of the reason is actually because of this new Cuju
As for the new name of the competition, the football league has been developed for a long time. Whether it is the league system, competition process, participating teams and staff, competition location, etc., all aspects of factors have actually become closer to
Perfect.
In today's football league, everything is in order. Except for the changes in results on the field, in fact, all the process things, each football league is more like a machine, it will follow the rules.
If the established procedures and codes work, there won't be any big surprises.
But this is not the case with this new type of Cuju held by Lu Yao. This is the first time a competition has been held. Apart from the hardware conditions, even the eight teams, eight leaders, and nearly a hundred participating team members all
It is completely new, and most people have no knowledge of Cuju before participating in this competition, which will cause a problem.
That is, new.
A coach's biggest role is to analyze and formulate a tactical system. However, what is the basis for these tasks to be completed successfully and for the coach to formulate something?
That is, the player's ability, all tactics and game play developed by the coach must be considered based on the strength of the team's players. The simplest example is that if a team does not have its own style, and none of the players have
If there is any outstanding ability, then even if the world's number one coach comes, he will not be able to start. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. This is the truth. Among them, there are very clear examples from modern football coaches.
Lippi is a legendary coach in world football. In addition to the European Cup, Lippi has won every championship in his coaching career. As early as 1996, he had already won the Champions League that many coaches dream of. In 2004, he coached the Italian national team.
It was the glorious period of the Italian national team. Starting from the World Cup qualifiers, it went smoothly to the 2006 final. In the final, Zidane was sent off for a soaring header, which made Lippi successful. Italy defeated France 6:4 in a penalty shootout.
Won the World Cup championship. In 12 years, he served as the coach of China's wealthy team Guangzhou Evergrande. Since then, the league championship has never been left behind under his leadership.
Looking at it this way, this legendary coach can really be said to have made great achievements and won countless championships. However, on October 22, 2016, Lippi officially became the head coach of the Chinese national men's football team. But after that, in
During the selection of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Chinese men's football team still missed the finals. After that, in October 2018, Lippi announced his resignation as the head coach of the Chinese national men's football team after the 2019 UAE Asian Cup. April 28, 2019
On November 14, Lippi signed a contract with the Chinese Football Association again and returned to the Chinese national men's football team as the head coach. On November 14, the Chinese men's football team lost 1:2 away to the Syrian team in the top 40 of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia.
, basically losing the initiative to qualify. At the post-match press conference, Lippi said: "I take full responsibility. I now resign and will no longer serve as the head coach of the Chinese team."
The Chinese Football Association said on its official Weibo that the performance of the Chinese men's football team "disappointed the majority of fans, and the Chinese Football Association deeply apologizes for this." Regarding Lippi's resignation request, the Chinese Football Association "accepted this resignation request" and continued
"We will reflect deeply, reorganize the men's national football team, and compete well in the next top 40 games."
Lippi's story ends here. From his story, it is not difficult to see that his resignation was indeed because the national football team did not achieve the results it should have and did not enter the World Cup. However, this responsibility is really all to blame.
Is it on him? As a senior fan, Lu Yao naturally doesn't think so. It is true that the coach must be responsible if he loses, but if nothing else, our national football team has changed so many head coaches, as long as one
If you lose, you change the coach, but does the responsibility really fall entirely on the coach? This is not necessarily the case. The strength of the team is the key factor that ultimately determines how far the team can go, and the coach, in fact,
It is just one of these factors. Therefore, for this new Cuju, instead of setting up the position of coach in the first place, it is better to focus on the ability development of the participating players. In this regard, even if Lu Yao
Thinking about it now, he still thinks so.
This is another reason why Lu Yao did not consider the position of coach at the beginning. Because this new Cuju competition has a completely new design from top to bottom. These hundreds of people are basically for
His understanding of Cuju is equal to zero. In this case, even if Lu Yao really set up the position of coach at the beginning, no one in Bianliang City would think that he is qualified for this job.
Therefore, on the one hand, it is true that Lu Yao neglected this matter, and on the other hand, it is also true that it was due to various restrictions in the new Cuju competition that the position of coach did not appear in the end.
However, the situation is a little different now. These eight teams, from leaders to team members, are on the right track, and have also completed the first round of collective training. The training mentioned here is of course not just
It's as simple as receiving military training from Katsuyuki Zhejiang on the training ground.
You know, apart from the training at the training ground, after the members of each team return to their residence, that is, the inn arranged by Zhang Maocai, after the day's training, everyone must take the information that Lu Yao had prepared before.
The manuscripts on Cuju knowledge and tactics took me to read for at least an hour or two. After all, in addition to physical and professional training, each team member also needs some supplementary knowledge. Here, you can actually see it
, each team attaches different importance to this Cuju competition. Among them, the members of the Fanlou team and the grassroots team attach the most importance to this competition, so when they return to the inn, they actually use at least two of them every day.
I have an hour to read some of the knowledge points about official Cuju written by Lu Yao. Therefore, in today’s second round of training, both the Fanlou team and the grassroots team performed well, and compared to the first round
, there must be a significant progress.
As for the members of other teams, compared to Chen Chen and Pan Wen's team, they naturally pay much less attention to it. The Tigers team is actually not bad. After all, Pan Wen is also in charge, so they still have some understanding of this manuscript.
It’s hard to say that the other teams are serious. They either participated in this competition to resolve personal grievances. Here we are talking about the Cao family’s Lions team and the Han family’s Wenyuan team. Or they are self-respecting and noble in status, and they are not interested in Cuju.
In fact, we already know enough about sports. What we are talking about here is Wang Da’s Huangtian team. Wang Da and vice-captain Wang Yi, after taking a rough look at the manuscript Lu Yao gave them, they felt that at first glance it was similar to what they had played before.
There is no difference between Cuju and Cuju. What needs to be paid attention to is the rules. Therefore, basically the Huangtian team does not attach much importance to the manuscripts given to them by Lu Yao. On the contrary, Wang Da and Wang Yi pay more attention to those who have recently joined the team.
, that is, the new members who were not members of the Huangtian Team at the beginning told their stories about their previous exhibition games, which can be regarded as popularizing Cuju to them. However, there is still a big gap between the old Cuju and the new Cuju now.
Yes, Wang Da's move is tantamount to resting on his laurels, and he will definitely suffer losses when the time comes.
The remaining teams are the Wangcai team and Han Qi's Goshawk team. Speaking of Han Qi's team, Han Qi has read the manuscript Lu Yao gave him, and indeed gave it to his team members.
However, these soldiers felt that their physical fitness and physique had completely overwhelmed the other teams during the previous running training, so a brief understanding of these things was enough, so they did not take a closer look.
Naturally, there is no need to say more about Han Qi. He is originally the Privy Council and has many things to deal with every day. How can he have the time to keep an eye on this Cuju team every day?
Needless to say, Zhang Maocai's Wangcai team is basically a team that won the first round, so he didn't take this matter to heart at all.
It seems that not many team members really understand the manuscripts written by Lu Yao, but it should be said that everyone has learned some knowledge about the new type of Cuju through the first round of training and these manuscripts. And now, just in time to catch up with Pan
Wen and Chen Chen came to Lu Yao to improve the strength of their team, so Lu Yao naturally proposed to find the position of coach. Lu Yao knew clearly that although he had decided to retreat, he would not be interested in the new Cuju competition.
, there are many pairs of eyes staring at him. After all, in the eyes of others, he should know everything about this game, so if Lu Yao really told Pan Wen and Chen Chen in private today what method
, For example, let the two of them study in private and become excellent coaches, and because of this, if the Fanlou team and the grassroots team finally achieve excellent results in the official competition, then the other teams will
The leader will definitely say that he actually helped Pan Wen and Chen Chen privately during this process, and they will point out that this competition is unfair.
With Lu Yao's IQ, he had already thought of this, so it was impossible for him to really give Pan Wen and Chen Chen these suggestions in private. However, since he wanted to improve the team's strength, Lu Yao felt that it would be better to give this
If the method is told to all participating teams, then whether they should follow Lu Yao's idea is another matter. After all, they are currently in retreat. It is actually their own business to decide whether to hire a coach.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The above are all Lu Yao's thoughts, but Pan Wen and Chen Chen, who came to see Lu Yao today, have completely different mentality regarding the coach's statement put forward by Lu Yao and the approach he later said. On Chen Chen's side, in fact,
He didn't care. He had never thought about it that much. He was focused on how to increase the strength of the grassroots team. He really didn't want to see the grassroots team that Lu Yao was very optimistic about fall in the first round.
So, when Lu Yao mentioned the position of coach, Chen Chen actually listened very carefully from beginning to end, and felt that it made sense, and emotionally, he was also very happy. For Lu Yao later said
, Chen Chen felt that it didn’t matter if he wanted to tell the other team leaders this news, as long as it could help the grassroots teams improve their strength, that would be fine.
However, Pan Wen, who has begun to rise to prominence in social and official circles, naturally thinks more than Chen Chen. Although, after some persuasion, Pan Wen understood Lu Yao's position and could not do it in private.
He and Chen Chen were told this method. But in Pan Wen's heart, he still hoped that Lu Yao could come up with some methods that would benefit the Fanlou team and the grassroots team the most.
However, what Lu Yao finally proposed was this coach's method. This method indeed sounds like it can improve the team's strength in a short period of time at first glance, but you must know that this method will be used by eight people tomorrow morning.
Everyone in the team will know it, which means that in fact, they are not ahead of other teams at all. For the position of coach, everyone is actually on the same starting line. If this is the case, then they have an innate advantage in terms of physical endurance.
The Huangtian Team and the Goshawk Team were still a bit ahead of them in strength. Pan Wen was still a little disappointed with this. He thought that Lu Yao would definitely help him, but in the end it turned out like this.
Lu Yao was not unaware of Pan Wen's thoughts, but Lu Yao felt that Pan Wen's worries were completely unnecessary.
Seeing Pan Wen drinking and gloomy on the side, Lu Yao said: "I think you already know the reason why I can't let you two learn coaching knowledge in private. However, what I want to say is
, even if you really tell the news about this coach to Zhe Katsuyuki, the Emperor, and the other six teams tomorrow, in fact they will not take this matter to heart. This is about the coach who can get the maximum benefit.
People, it’s still you two.”
Pan Wen smiled and shook his head. He felt that Lu Yao was comforting him, so he said, "Brother, please don't comfort me. I know you have your difficulties, so I won't blame you."
Chen Chen looked at Lu Yao thoughtfully and said, "Master Lu, how do you say this?"
Lu Yao said: "It's very simple. Let's think about it differently. Even if these eight teams know the position of this coach, what will their reaction be like?"
Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "I don't know what their thoughts are, but since it is your decision, they should all obey it."
Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "It's one thing to obey. After all, this suggestion will be agreed to by the emperor, but whether to follow it or not is another thing."
"What do you mean?" Pan Wen asked quickly.
"It's very simple. Although it has now reached the training stage, the eight teams, from the leader to the team members, have also entered the normal training rhythm. Everything seems to be going very smoothly, so I can rest assured that I can retreat here. But
Think about it carefully, is the training status of each team the same as yours?"
Chen Chen said: "Actually, I have seen the training status of several other teams. To be honest, in fact, the training attitude of the four teams in the lower half is not particularly good, even Master Han Qi's Goshawk team
,During the training, I also felt a little strange."
"This is the key point." Lu Yao said, "Not to mention the teams in the lower half, it is Wang Da's Huangtian team. The state they are showing now is actually not their real state. The reason why they are training like this
They work hard and look very hard, but in fact it is because they represent the royal face and there is pressure from the emperor."
"But, what does this have to do with coaches?" Pan Wen then asked.
Lu Yao said lightly: "Actually, if you think about it, at the beginning, I just made a draft for you to find your own team members and opponents. In fact, everyone has done a good job in this aspect, let's not talk about the selection of team members.
How well have you achieved the standard? No matter what, in the end you have found your opponent, and you have gathered more than ten people to form a team."
Chen Chen and Pan Wen nodded.
"After that, at the assembly meeting, we had to come up with a team name. In fact, at that time, I found that several leaders began to become less attentive. The team name they designed was actually a bit overwhelming.
, and it was made by referring to the team names of other teams.”
"You say that because three teams all use the name of the beast as their team name?"
"That's right," Lu Yao continued, "After that, it's time to design the embroidery pattern."
When Pan Wen and Chen Chen heard about the embroidery pattern, it can be said that their reactions were very different, which is easy to understand.
Pan Wen was very happy because, in Pan Wen's opinion, he had finished the pattern of his Fan Lou team in just one meal, and it was designed by Lu Yao himself, even though Lu Yao was not involved.
In the process of actual pattern design and drawing, the idea of designing into the original intention was indeed proposed by Lu Yao. Moreover, the designed pattern was approved by Emperor Zhao Zhen, so when it came to this embroidery pattern, Pan
Wen was still very grateful to Lu Yao, so his face was filled with a smile.
Another team, the leader of the grassroots team, Chen Chen, looked a little confused. Although his team's embroidery pattern was also designed by Lu Yao himself, and compared to the Fanlou team, Lu Yao's participation was more
It's higher because the grassroots team's pattern was created by Lu Yao himself using pen and ink.
However, having said that, even Zhao Zhen could not explain the embroidery pattern of the Grassroots team. It is estimated that only Lu Yao could explain the meaning of the pattern clearly, so although Zhao Zhen did not explain the meaning of the Grassroots team
The embroidery pattern designed by the team was criticized, but there was no more praise, so Chen Chen was very confused now.
"Think about it." Lu Yao looked at the two of them for a few seconds, and then continued. "From finding the team, to finding the players, and then to designing the team name and embroidery patterns, one thing followed another.
One thing, do you sometimes feel a little tired, or that these things are a bit cumbersome?"
Chen Chen shook his head quickly. Lu Yao believed in Chen Chen. After all, he was the one he chose. Moreover, Chen Chen was young and didn't feel tired. On the contrary, he and his grassroots team members,
I also really like this kind of fulfilling life.
However, Pan Wen said: "Actually, I have felt this way. From the beginning, I was wondering whether I was looking for Boss Sun or the boss to compete. Later, I finally figured out my opponents and team members. Originally,
I thought it would be easier, but it turned out that things came one after another. First, I was asked to think of a team name, and then I was asked to design a pattern. Sometimes I was really tired, and I felt that it was really difficult to prepare for this Cuju competition.
There were too many, and we were usually prepared at short notice, which caught me off guard.”
"That's right," Lu Yao said, "Then why don't you want to give up?"
Pan Wen immediately said: "Why give up? I am participating in this competition, but I am going for the winning team and the final football lottery management rights. What does this trivial matter mean?"
"Well said." Lu Yao clapped his hands and seemed to agree with Pan Wen's determination, "It's because you have this belief that even though you sometimes feel tired, you will still do it, even though you feel that
It’s very troublesome.”
Pan Wen nodded in understanding.
Lu Yao continued: "This is what I want to tell you. In fact, from the time we started looking for players to form a team, things really happened one after another. First it was the name, and then it was the pattern. It won't happen right away. It will happen tomorrow.
After you left me, you asked for instructions about the coach. Then did the eight team leaders, including you, treat the coach matter as the same thing as the team name design before?
Come and do it?”
Chen Chen and Pan Wen nodded repeatedly. Lu Yao smiled and said, "I'm not worried about you two. Pan Wen is also in charge of the Tigers, so I'm naturally not worried either. But have you ever thought about the other five?
The leaders and the team members are tired of dealing with one sudden thing after another every day. In addition, the leaders have their own jobs to do. Do you think they will react to this sudden incident?
What about being impatient with a task?”
Hearing what Lu Yao said, Chen Chen shook his head and said, "I don't think so. After all, this competition is organized by the emperor. Once the emperor knows about the coaches and makes a decree, they will still obey it."
Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "That's not necessarily the case, because I have said that this position is not a necessary position. I am just telling you about the coach. As for whether you want to find it, whether you come by yourself or find someone else, I
Regardless, it is not a task that must be completed. Even Pan Wen was tired of such a tedious process before, let alone those teams?"
Pan Wen said: "So, what you are saying is that even if those teams know about this tomorrow, they may not take the position of coach seriously, right?"
"Yes," Lu Yao said, "They will preconceptionally think that now that they have entered the training stage, everyone is in good condition. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a coach or not. On the other hand, because they were on the team before
My name is also a pattern maker, and their impression of me is not very good. When I said that I would not take up the position of coach, they would think that if I hired a coach this time, they would do it, and they would not know what to do next time.
What kind of position can I find?"
"So," Chen Chen took over. "There is a high probability that they will not find a coach this time. This is to warn you.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Don’t just come up with another new thing to disturb their rhythm.”
"That's right." Lu Yao said, "Since they don't take it seriously, why not tell them so that when the official competition comes, they won't be able to find fault with me. It's because they don't want to go to the coach.
"
It turns out that Lu Yao had already thought of how to deal with these teams, so he wouldn't have to worry about someone saying he was partial.
"But why do you think we will complete it as one thing?" Pan Wen asked.
Lu Yao smiled and said: "It's very simple. First, if you really don't pay attention to this Cuju competition and warm-up match, you won't come to me tonight to ask questions."
"What else?"
"That is, I am very satisfied with the importance you attach to this new Cuju competition. You two, as well as the Tigers, you three teams are very concerned about the results of your team's competition, and it is precisely because
In this way, you will complete every measure I mentioned. So, if the coach really told the eight teams, I think the Fanlou team and the grassroots team should have the coach's ability in the end.
The strongest one, whether you are responsible for it yourself or someone else, you are already very powerful just by how serious you are about this competition."
Pan Wen and Chen Chen were both very happy to hear Lu Yao praise them so much. However, Pan Wen still had some concerns, which was naturally the Tigers.
"Now I am in charge of two teams, the Fanlou team and the Tigers, but each team can only have one coach. I can't just go to the Fanlou team as a coach and the Tigers as a coach."
Lu Yao waved his hand and said: "For this point, you can actually let Liu Bolai be the head coach of the Tigers. Older people are actually more thoughtful. Maybe he can develop some other tactics.
.Coaches do not need to personally conduct regular training, so even if Uncle Liu is old, as long as his brain is good, it will be enough."
"That's great," Pan Wen said, "I don't want to be able to command two teams by myself."
"As for the grassroots team, I'll leave it to you." Lu Yao looked at Chen Chen again, who nodded heavily.
"Okay, no more questions, let's eat quickly. Do I have to read a book after eating?" Lu Yao saw that the two of them finally no longer looked so nervous, and quickly greeted them to eat. At this time, he was about to have dinner.
There are only fifteen minutes left before the end.
After listening to Lu Yao's advice, Pan Wen and Chen Chen also started to use their chopsticks and wolfed down the food.
This is the second time Chen Chen has eaten Fan Lou’s dishes, and the first time was at noon today when Pan Wen invited him.
Lu Yao looked at Chen Chen's expression and face while eating, and said, "You took him to Fanlou for dinner at noon today."
Pan Wen was very surprised and asked quickly: "How did you know?"
Lu Yao took a sip of wine and said: "This is not simple. You two came together, and your personal relationship is not close. So coming together must mean that your relationship has become better."
Get up. This means that the two of you must have had a deep talk. I still know you relatively well, Pan Wen. Every time you talk to someone or ask for something from someone, you don’t like to be empty-handed, so there is a high probability that you should be
I took Chen Chen to Fan Lou for dinner. Moreover, Chen Chen's expression just now seemed to be very familiar with the dishes of Fan Lou. How could he, a commoner in the outer city, have come into contact with Fan Lou's dishes? After much thought, that is
That's why you took him to Fanlou for dinner."
Lu Yao's observations were very detailed, and both Chen Chen and Pan Wen were impressed.
The three of them continued to eat for a while. Pan Wen thought of Lu Yao's retreat and said, "How are you preparing for the exam? The imperial examination will be held in a few days, and it is related to your marriage to Miss Han Yunyu of the Han family.
, are you sure?"
"Do your best and obey fate." These six words are actually not only Lu Yao's current attitude, but also his consistent style of doing things. When Lu Yao does everything, he will do what he should do and prepare for it.
Do your best to get the place right, and then, when things really come, whether you can succeed is another matter. If you can't succeed, it means that you are unlucky, not because you are incompetent.
Lu Yao has never been the kind of person who regrets that he didn't prepare well after taking an exam. He tried his best to do it. If he failed, it was destined by God, so he didn't need to be too depressed.
This style of doing things won the approval of Chen Chen and Pan Wen. For them, the same goes for their Cuju team. Although among the eight participating teams, there are strong teams such as Huangtian Team and Han Qi's Goshawk Team, as long as they try their best
In the end, I couldn’t get a good ranking, but I had no regrets.
After Lu Yao finished saying this, he looked at Pan Wen and said, "Do you have any knowledge about the content of the imperial examination? Or, is there anyone around you who has taken the imperial examination? Do you have any advice for me?
For example, the type of test questions, content, etc.”
When Pan Wen heard what Lu Yao said, he immediately smiled, took out some manuscripts from his sleeves, handed them to Lu Yao, and said, "I knew you would ask this. In fact, I have asked him before.
I have helped you inquire about the entity type and content of the imperial examination. Although I can't understand it, I think it should be of some help to you. The people who wrote these manuscripts are all people who have participated in the imperial examination, and they are all young people.
But they all failed the first imperial examination, I hope you can succeed."
Time passed quickly. Lu Yao originally wanted to chat with these two good friends for a while. After all, after he solved the Cuju-related problems for them, they should not have enough time to retreat in the next few days.
I will come to visit again. Besides them, others probably know about my retreat and will not disturb me.
However, Lu Xu is a ruthless person. He had already let Lu Yao sit in the seat some time in advance today and communicated with these two people for a while. After all, there is not much time left before the imperial examination, so there is no way to be careless.
So a quarter of an hour later, Lu Xu came to the restaurant. Although he didn't say anything clearly, he could tell from his appearance that he had given an order to expel the guests.
Chen Chen and Pan Wen looked at each other. Since the purpose of their trip had been achieved, they didn't want to stay any longer. So they got up and left. Before leaving, they made an agreement that they would come to Lu tomorrow morning.
The government retrieved the manuscript written by Lu Yao about the knowledge of coaches.
After seeing off Pan Wen and Chen Chen, Lu Yao chatted with Lu Xu for a few words and then returned to the room. He did not immediately start studying the coach's affairs, but took out the paper that Pan Wen had given him just now.
I came to my own analysis of some questions in the imperial examinations over the years, as well as the secrets of obtaining high scores that these candidates have developed themselves. Lu Yaoxin said that these were all written by failed students. Where did the secrets come from? However, with these
It is better to prepare more information.
So, Lu Yao lit a candle, took out the manuscript Pan Wen gave him, and began to read it. Combining the types and contents of modern examination questions, Lu Yao began to analyze the types of questions in the imperial examination.
Judging from the form of answering questions, the classic meaning test, theory test, and strategy test are all a bit like today's college entrance examination essays, which are all based on argumentative essays. The purpose is of course to test the candidates' views on classics, historical events, and current affairs. During the exam,
The examiner will hang up a curtain in front of the examination room and "show the question at the front of the hall. If there are any difficult questions in the question, listeners will ask questions outside the curtain. After answering the main text in detail inside the curtain, everyone will take their place to write."
Usually there are three or four exams.
Specifically, the test on the meaning of the classics is when the question maker intercepts a sentence from the Confucian classics and asks the candidates to explain the meaning contained in it. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the test on the meaning of the classics evolved into a test on the eight-legged essay, from the external stylistic form to the inner thought.
Seriously rigid, but in the Song Dynasty, people advocated "the spirit of independence and the thought of freedom" (this phrase was originally Chen Yinke's inscription in memory of Wang Guowei. We borrowed it to describe the scholarship of the Song people. Mr. Chen must agree, because Mr. Chen also said
, "The Six Dynasties and the Tianshui era were the most free-thinking." Candidates were free to interpret scriptures, pass on annotations, question ancient theories, elaborate on new opinions, "use other topics to explain their own principles", and even "ignored the scriptures at all, and insisted on self-reliance,"
Those who are bold and bold and dare to make new and strange opinions."
The test essay is similar to a propositional essay, which usually requires candidates to comment on an allusion or a certain historical figure recorded in classics and history. In the second year of Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1057), the topic of the Jinshi Provincial Examination was "The Theory of Honesty and Honesty in Punishment and Reward".
An annotation by Kong Anguo in "Shangshu" is quoted: "In punishments for doubts, the punishment is lenient; in rewards, the masses follow the crowd, and the utmost loyalty is achieved." In today's terms, the title is "On the lenity of punishments for doubtful crimes".
The test policy is similar to the "application essay" in today's civil service examination. Generally, the examiner asks specific questions about current affairs and allows the candidates to express their opinions, so it is also called "strategy question", and the candidates' answers are called "countermeasures." Countermeasures are usually thousands of questions.
Although there are many written texts, there are also countermeasures written with tens of thousands of words. Since strategies and arguments are both argumentative genres, people in the Song Dynasty also called the two "strategies" together.
Policy questions can often reflect the "problem awareness" of the person who asked the question. Many literati in the Song Dynasty who served as examiners were somewhat "precious" about the policy questions they drafted, and included the policy questions in their own collections. For example, "Collected Works of Ouyang Wenzhong"
》 contains many policy questions, one of which asked: "The land of the Emperor of Zhou is thousands of miles wide, and it is called ten thousand chariots. There are horses for ten thousand chariots, and there are twelve idle horses, and the six ministers and three hundred and sixty officials must all have their own horses."
If there are chariots and horses, wouldn’t there be so many chariots and horses? How many fields can there be in a land of a thousand miles, and how many fields can there be for grazing, and how many horses can be accommodated? How many fields can there be in a land of a thousand miles? What is the method of horses?
How? Today, the world is vast, and horses are often in trouble. How can it be that the people who were good at raising horses in ancient times are not good at raising horses now? It is appropriate to say something about it." This question involves concerns about the lack of good horses in the Song Dynasty, and we want to answer this strategic question,
Not only do you need to have practical insights into horse politics, but you also need to master certain knowledge of mathematics, geometry and animal husbandry.
It seems that simply mastering the Four Books and Five Classics is not enough. After reading these manuscripts on the table, Lu Yao thought, if the types of questions in the imperial examination are really analyzed, they can really be related to the modern civil service examination.
It has nothing to do with it. In this case, by the time he answered the question, Lu Yao already had several routines in his mind that he could deal with, as well as clichés that could be used as answers at any time.
