Apart from the slight delay in fighting the tiger, Wu Song spent the rest of his time rushing along.
And now, he was openly staying in Hua Zixu's house.
Hua Zixu was polite to him, but Wu Song wasn't so polite.
All the good wine and meat were served.
Wu Song didn't drink wine, but he ate meat.
The food they ate every day was quite good. Even Xiao Hua was lazy now. Other than eating meat every day, she was sunbathing.
Wu Song had also relied on Hua Zixu to get many articles and read them carefully.
It felt like he was sharpening his gun before the college entrance examination.
Of course, Wu Song's foundation was solid enough.
Now, the main thing was to understand their writing style and see if they could learn from their strengths.
A few days of blissful and relaxed days passed.
The Enke exam has officially begun
Outside the examination hall, Pan Jinlian stood guard at the entrance like a rock, waiting for Wu Song to return after the exam.
Wu Song went into battle lightly. In his previous life and present life, he had gone through many examinations, big and small. In addition to the previous child examination and the scholar examination, he already had experience.
The exam environment here was a little bad, but it was not a big deal.
One small cubicle after another.
The content of this exam was not small.
The first round: three four-character essays, one five-character poem with eight rhymes;(Theory, major, middle, Meng, the questions will be repeated in order)
The second round: Five scriptures, mainly about the meaning of the scriptures.
The third round: five questions, asking about the history, current affairs, politics;
Three days passed.
Apart from that, there was also a second round.
Wu Song took a deep breath. Three of these four books and one five-character poem with eight rhymes were not difficult. The five questions seemed to ask you many questions, but you couldn't answer them casually.
You're just a small scholar. What do you know?
There were actually answers to all five questions.
The previous dynasty or the current imperial court had dealt with it.
However, the scope of the book was very wide. You had to choose carefully. You couldn't use allusions casually. You still had to flatter them when you wrote it.
After that, it was the classics.
In the Song Dynasty, there were Jinshi and Ming Jing subjects in the imperial examination. The contents of the examination included Tie Jing, Mo Yi and poetry and Fu. After Wang Anshi served as the governor, he abolished poetry and Fu, Tie Jing and Mo Yi, and selected scholars solely based on classics, theory and policy.
The real core was still the classics.
The essay had to be well written, colorful, and not empty. It had to have its own ideas and insights, and it had to be to the chief examiner's liking.
Someone handed out a brush, ink, and inkstone, along with a bowl of water. The papers were handed out, and the atmosphere became tense.
Wu Song looked at the title carefully.”
"This thing!"
Wu Song couldn't help but roll his eyes. The question setter's train of thought was simply too obvious.
The full text was like this. Tsze-chang asked,"Do you know the meaning of ten lifetimes?" The Master said,"The rites of the Yin Dynasty were inherited from the rites of the Xia Dynasty, and the extent to which they were increased or decreased can be known. The Zhou Dynasty inherited the etiquette system of the Yin Dynasty, and the increase or decrease of the etiquette system can be known. Some of them inherited the Zhou Dynasty, even if there were a hundred generations, it could be known.”
Simply put, someone asked Confucius,""Can we know the etiquette system in advance?”Confucius told him,"The Shang Dynasty inherited the etiquette system of the Xia Dynasty, and the content of the reduction and increase can be known." The Zhou Dynasty inherited the etiquette system of the Shang Dynasty, and the content of the abolition and addition could also be known. In the future, those who inherited the Zhou Dynasty could know the situation a hundred generations later.”
This conversation was very interesting. Different articles could be written from different angles. For example, they could explore the development of the system and then praise how great the current system of the Song Dynasty was. It was the kind of people who did not support change after talking about it for generations.
Another example was to use the system after the prediction as an argument. This might be a little difficult to write. If one commented on the system, they might be arrested as a rebel. Not to mention taking the exam, they might even lose their lives.
Wu Song thought for a moment. Confucius had brought up an important concept: Profits and losses.
The meaning of this word was increase or decrease, character. That is, the previous generation of laws and regulations, etiquette norms and other inheritance, inheritance. There were also reforms and flexibility.
This showed that Confucius himself was not a stubborn conservative. He did not necessarily want to return to the era of the Duke of Zhou, nor did he oppose all reforms.
In any case, this thing was just a touch of the lips.
No one knew what Second Kong was thinking.
However, his disciples and grand-disciples would definitely give you an explanation.
Zeng Bu was the main examiner for this question.
This inclination was already very obvious.
Wu Song pondered for a moment. It was not difficult to write an article that catered to the tastes of the new party.
It was nothing more than the word 'reform'.
The difficulty was that you couldn't break any taboos.
When it came to changes, one would lose their head if they were not careful.
I've thought it over in detail
Wu Song's train of thought changed very quickly. Unknowingly, he actually thought of the Qing Dynasty.
With a wave of his pen, he directly copied "Ode to Young China".
Of course, he couldn't copy everything.
After all, this was Liang Qichao's famous seat, and he had memorized it in junior high school. It was a famous article that Liang Qichao had published in the Qing Yi Bao.
This article had a great impact. It was a long political essay. The author stood on the standpoint of the capitalist reformists. In the article, he made a sharp contrast between the ancient feudal China and the young China in his mind. He strongly praised the young people's spirit of reform, encouraged people to shoulder the heavy responsibility of building the young China, and expressed the desire to make the motherland prosperous and strong.
It was recognized as the most positive and emotional chapter in Liang Qichao's works. The author himself also regarded it as his representative work of "opening a new style of writing and stimulating the undercurrents of the people."
Of course, there were still many areas that needed to be modified for Wu Song.
The idea of the revision was very simple. They did not make radical remarks and supported the reform.
In addition to his own foundation, he made some modifications and wrote a long and lengthy article. He did not write any nonsense. A portion of it was the original sentence from "Ode to Young China", and some of it was added with some historical allusions.。
Time passed quietly. From sunrise to sunset, the other examinees 'hands were about to break, but Wu Song continued to write with a relaxed expression. The Song Dynasty was still generous. The brush, ink, paper, and inkstone used for the examination were all of the highest quality.
This brush and ink writing was extremely carefree.
