My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 18 18. Encourage people to learn plum blossoms and perform normally

Scholar examination.

significantly more stringent
There will be officials walking back and forth near the examination booth, always paying attention to whether the candidates are cheating. If something is wrong, they will conduct strict inspections on you.

Zhao Xuanqi sat in his examination booth.

No distractions.

Carefully look at the test questions on the desk.

Generally speaking, the "classic test" is much more difficult than the children's test. Some of the test questions are very unpopular and the teacher does not remember the key points.

This kind of question can only be answered by memorizing various classic books proficiently.

Otherwise, you don’t even know where this title comes from, where this sentence comes from, and you have never heard of it.

There are basically no such unpopular questions in the Tongsheng Examination, but such unpopular questions account for 1/5 in the Scholar Examination.

"It seems that the scientific examination also depends on luck. If the candidate happens to memorize these 1/5 unpopular questions, he or she will be lucky enough to pass. If you are unlucky and have not read these unpopular questions, you will have no choice but to fail."

"No wonder there are so few scholars. It's hard to find one among tens of thousands of people. Some people have been taking the exam for more than ten or 20 years, and even their hair has turned gray and they still haven't passed the exam. It's really difficult!"

"Of course, this kind of logic is limited to ordinary students. It is not a problem for me at all, because I have memorized all the topics, whether they are popular or not, whether they are popular or not."

A confident smile appeared on Zhao Xuanqi's lips.

He has the gift of "photographic memory", and it is difficult for him to forget the content in books. Basically, he can recite it after reading it a few times, and he can recite it fluently after reading it a few times.

For him, the difficulty of the "Classic Test" was limited to this.

Not long after, Zhao Xuanqi finished answering the questions and entered the next project, "Ci Test" or "Poetry Test"

"Ci test" and "poetry test" generally test candidates' ability to write poems, but if they say they only ask people to write poems, this is a more general classification.

These two items mainly test the candidates' creative ability. Creative ability is the key, and poetry is secondary.

Therefore, sometimes the exam questions will not ask you to compose poems, but will give you some special questions for you to compose.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Northern Wei Dynasty did not attach much importance to poetry. The Confucian scholars of this era were not just idiots who only read books. Many scholars were capable of literary and military skills, full of enthusiasm, and looked more like martial arts than martial artists.

The works you create cannot be limited to poetry. If you are not an official, there is no problem. But if you want to be an official, you need to create some works that everyone will find useful and that are useful to the world. This is why the scientific examination will test your creative ability.

Zhao Xuanqi met now.

This time’s “Ci Test” questions:
"Please create an article with no format restrictions. It is used to warn the world, persuade people to learn, and enlighten the world. The words are required to be simple and the meaning is clear."

"Interesting question."

Zhao Xuanqi smiled slightly.

Since he traveled through this copy world, it may be due to the particularity and thematic nature of the Heavenly Mirror, so not only did he not forget his previous life after traveling through it, but his memory of the previous life became clearer and clearer.

He was originally a liberal arts student in his first life and had read countless poems. This test question could not stop him.

This kind of creative test question may block other candidates, but it is impossible to block Zhao Xuanqi.

Not long after, Zhao Xuanqi had an idea in his mind, selected the object of plagiarism, and started writing directly.

"Anyway, there is no format requirement, so just choose this article!"

"Ancient and Modern Wise Essays Encouraging Learning"

A dead tree grows again when spring comes, and no one can grow young again twice.Don't worry about being old and ineffective, just worry about young children not learning.The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the people of today are better than the people of the past.If you spend your years in vain, you will regret it when you are old.If you have ambitions, you will not grow taller in years; if you have no ambitions, you will live a hundred years in vain.Young idler, an old beggar.study hard, improve every day.Persistence will make steel become steel over time. 360 lines, every line is the number one.Ice is born from water and is colder than water; green comes from blue and is better than blue.When the book is used, I will regret it less. I will not know the difficulties until I have experienced them.

The body is afraid of not being able to move, and the brain is afraid of not being used.The more you use your hands, the smarter you become, and the more you use your brain, the smarter you become.Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, half-hearted, accomplish nothing.A day of practice will lead to success; a day of non-practice will make you empty.The fist never leaves the hand, the song never leaves the mouth.A knife will rust if it is not sharpened, and a man will fall behind if he does not learn.There are roads in the mountain of books, and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning, and hard work is the boat.The master leads you in, and you practice on your own.Practice makes perfect, and diligence makes perfect.

This article comes from Han Yu. It is an enlightenment article that quotes many famous quotes (including poems) that encourage learning, and mixes various famous people's verses to encourage learning.

Because it comes from China, many of the poems in it are not found in the Northern Wei Dynasty in this world, but instead became Zhao Xuanqi's original poems.

The whole article is meant to encourage learning and enlightenment. It is thought-provoking, catchy to read, clear in meaning, absolutely correct, and can shock the world.For other people taking the scholar exam, it is absolutely crushing!

After writing this question, the next question is even simpler. The "Poetry Test" does not have so many bells and whistles and just asks you to compose a poem.

"There are hundreds of thousands of plants and thousands of flowers on the earth. Flowers and grasses all grow in spring. Among them, plum blossoms are unique and can bloom in the cold winter. Please use plum blossoms as the title and sing the praises of plum blossoms in the form of Northern Wei Dynasty poems. .”

Zhao Xuanqi just glanced at the title, and then immediately started writing the first poem that came to his mind:

"plum bossom"

There were a few branches of plum in the corner, and Ling Han opened it alone.

I know it is not snow, because there is a secret fragrance.

Isn’t it just praising plum blossoms?simple!

This is a scholar exam. You don’t need to create any awesome masterpiece. Just put this poem in and pass the exam successfully.

After Zhao Xuanqi finished writing, he carefully checked the test paper to make sure there were no wrong answers before taking a rest.

Time passed by, and when it was time to hand in the paper, he slowly went up to hand it in.

In fact, the time for handing in the paper is not necessarily the time for handing in the paper. There is still a long time before the end of the exam.

There is a gap between geniuses and ordinary candidates. For genius candidates, they should finish writing early and hand in the papers at the hand-in point to avoid suffering in the examination booth.

For those ordinary candidates, even if the exam time is over, it is not enough for them to fill in the answers, and they wish they could stay longer.

Just like now, when Zhao Xuanqi walked up to hand in his paper, there were still many candidates still writing carefully underneath.

Some people were smiling, as if they had just recited the key points, and started writing quickly.

Some candidates looked ferocious, crying and looking like they were going crazy. It was obvious that the questions this time were very difficult for them and they would definitely fail.

In this way, Zhao Xuanqi came to the examiner, handed over the examination paper respectfully, and then slowly left the examination room with brisk steps.

He waited outside the examination room for a while, until he waited for Chen Buhuan and others, and then left together.

Chen Buchuan couldn't help complaining: "This scholar examination is too difficult. We are even asked to wear words that encourage learning and enlightenment..."

"The Classics test is also very difficult. I didn't memorize the questions. I didn't know how to do many of the questions. A child should be able to pass it, but a scholar can pass it."

"I'm very lucky. I drew lots a few days ago and memorized some unpopular questions, which happened to be the subject of the scholar assessment. I have a good chance of getting the title of scholar this time!"

These people in Zhao Xuanqi's dormitory were all guaranteed, so after finishing the Tongsheng examination, they also took the Xiucai examination, mainly to try their luck and increase the chance of winning the exam.

Different from Zhao Xuanqi, their grades were not ranked in the top 20 in the academy. The people who vouched for them were all relatives and friends of the family, or they spent some money to ask someone to vouch for them.

Everyone in Stony Brook Academy kept complaining, and then they all looked at Zhao Xuanqi: "Zhao Xuanqi, what do you think of this question? How did you perform?"

Zhao Xuanqi smiled slightly: "As for the question, it's pretty good. I performed normally."

"That's good," Chen Buhuan and others said, "Since you are performing normally, based on your normal level, you will definitely have the reputation of being a scholar."

They are deeply aware of Zhao Xuanqi's terror. As long as he doesn't perform abnormally, even if he performs normally, he will definitely crush all the candidates!

If Zhao Xuanqi performs exceptionally well, then needless to say, absolutely no one can surpass Zhao Xuanqi, and maybe he can get into the top five. This is the consensus of everyone in the academy.

They speculated that if Zhao Xuanqi performed normally this time, he would probably be in the top ten.

After all, there are some long-established aristocratic families in the county. Their backgrounds are astonishing. Many of their clan members are serving as officials, and they may be conducting some secret operations.

They don't even bother to send their children to academies to study. They usually study within their families. They hire juren or some famous scholars to teach. With some collection of books at home, they are the main force in scientific examinations. , the top ten are basically all these people.

If Zhao Xuanqi performs normally, being in the top ten is basically the limit. If he is ranked in the top five, it not only requires good grades, but also a background.
