Chapter 240 The Snack Before Meal

He took some time to roughly read the content of "Three-year Talents and Five-Year Entrance Examination".

Generally understandable.After all, they are all Chinese characters. Although the mathematical language is relatively simple, it can still be understood according to the title.

Except for ∵, so ∴, greater than less than, braces, parentheses, and root signs, all symbols related to operations are different.

But generally speaking, it is still based on Chinese characters.It is not a big problem to write plus and minus signs +- or 丄丅. Compared with He, ∫ is only a few more strokes.The trouble is that when writing, you have to pay attention to the frame of the font. He should be written next to the word He, and then try to write more beautifully and symmetrically on the right side.Because the roll counts.

What he wants to ask most now is why the old merchant didn't correct him.He obviously calculated some equations in front of the old businessman, but the old businessman didn't say anything at all.He didn't go to school in Yangzhou, so he didn't know that the symbols in middle and high school were completely different.

Fortunately, the problem is not big.

Because the mathematical language is universal, but the symbols are different.Although it does take a few more strokes, but the melancholy tortoise has been written, and it is really not a big problem to write ∫ as He.

"How about it, do you know the number yourself?"

"Probably no problem." Shangluo is quite confident in his mathematics level - at least passing should not be a big problem.He looked through the high school exercises here, and the difficult part was really difficult.And there are some derivative problems, limit problems, and some matrix operations will be applied.

But generally speaking, it is not super-class for him, so it is not a big problem.

"It's good that you have the numbers. Other classes are not a big problem, right?"

It's really not a big problem for two people to communicate with each other.

Chinese class, Chinese class, or those things. "Pei Gong came to see King Xiang from more than a hundred horses every day", "the fish in the pond can have hundreds of heads, and they are all like swimming in the air with nowhere to rely on.".There is also "Pipa Xing", even the stalk of "pipa playing techniques" is the same.

Math, or that math.

There is no English, but Latin is compulsory in the university, and there is a corresponding compulsory Chinese course in Rome, and it seems to be earlier.

Historiography, basically the same.Because the "Great Ming Dynasty" is not over yet, there is no Ming history.After the Hongwu Dynasty, it is considered modern history, which does not take too much weight. The main test points are the reform of Shang Yang, the rule of Zhenguan, and the rule of Kaiyuan.

What really troubled Shangluo was the sociology and Confucianism classes.

Sociology courses are the Ming Law, various laws and decrees, various edicts, edicts, and lists. "Dajun Tie", there are many imperial edicts such as "every student, listen: I used to make sacrificial wine in that Zongna", "I am a Han people on the west side of the ground" and so on, which must be recited in full.Because it is a long-winded vernacular in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, it is especially troublesome to recite.

The Confucianism class is the Four Books and Five Classics.However, the test is very shallow. Within the scope of the Four Books, you need to test some understanding of the scriptures. As long as you can memorize the contents of the Five Classics, you will be fine.

In terms of word count, there are 1753 characters in "Great Learning" and 3568 characters in "The Doctrine of the Mean" in the Four Books, which were originally excerpts from the Book of Rites.Both the Analects of Confucius and Mencius do not need to recite the full text to understand, but only recite excerpts, which together total about 48000 words.In terms of the Five Classics, there are only sporadic excerpts, and the total recitation is about [-] words.The sum total is about [-] words.

There are many parts that overlap with Chinese, history, and social studies, so for ordinary students, there are not too many parts that really need to be memorized.It's more troublesome for Shangluo, but he already knew that the imperial examination must be taken, so he had already finished reciting the [-] to [-] characters-he felt that to be honest, it was much easier than reciting "abandon", at least The Analects of Confucius speaks human language.

In fact, as far as the part of the Confucianism examination questions is concerned, the amount of memorization is placed on the things that would be memorized hundreds of years ago, that is, a few years after the enlightenment. The content of the scholar examination is much more difficult than these.But today's Xiucai test is just a "national standard". The recitation content of Confucian classics is not too complicated, and it has penetrated into various cultural works. During the test, it can generally be written in context.

In addition to natural sciences such as mathematics and physics, the overall difficulty is actually not very good compared with the previous scholar exams.But from the perspective of the pass rate, the pass rate is too high.

"Phew." Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay. If there is a scholar in our class who doesn't pass the exam, then I, the monitor, have failed in my duty. By the way, I've always wondered whether your math symbols are Roman or not. Algorithm over there. Because it's all Latin alphabet."

"It's very similar." Han Xingzhi replied, "My uncle is learning Latin, and I've read his book. It has many similarities with the arithmetic symbols in Rome. Yes, but there are differences. After all, Roman Chinese characters are more powerful than this book. There are more inside."

"Wait." Shang Luo froze for a moment, "Do you use Chinese characters in Rome?"

"Well, there are a lot of words in Latin that use Chinese characters, and then use the Latin alphabet to mark the original sound. This may not be known to those who don't learn Latin. I only knew it after reading my uncle's Latin textbooks. After all, the relationship between us and Rome There is not much communication. They use Chinese characters as ideograms, and they can’t pronounce them according to Chinese characters, but they can write them. It’s written like Koreans, adding a few characters to Chinese characters. But only scholars in Rome can Written in this way, writing them all in Latin will not affect the meaning, anyway, there are a lot of loanwords in Latin.”

"Why is this happening? As far as I know, the exchanges between our two sides are actually surprisingly rare, right? Except for technological exchanges, I haven't seen any cultural works handed down to the past, and nothing has been handed down."

"It seems to be because of a theory - the Romans believed that Chinese characters were 'Eden characters', an ideographic symbol rooted in the bottom layer of human history. Then referring to the examples of Korea and Japan, they believed that introducing Chinese characters into the symbol system did not What's the problem? So it was introduced. So the Latin we learn is also a written Latin language mixed with Chinese characters and Latin, which is actually not very convenient for reading things other than academic literature."

"So they independently decided to use Chinese characters?"

"The ones in Rome will always make some very big moves based on some reasons that I don't understand at the moment. Sometimes it looks really weird. But in the long run, there is generally no problem. For example, we use Chinese characters for technical purposes on both sides. Inventing words is very convenient. Without the help of Chinese characters, the academic expression in Latin would be several times longer than it is now. For example, telephones, electric lights and so on.”

"Well, that would be very convenient for us?"

"Indeed. It's us who are the most convenient. The Romans themselves are not so convenient. Oh, let's collect the study materials. Dinner is here."

Qi Yuan put the study materials back to make room for the desk.

"This is a snack for everyone." The waiter in an apron brought 5 pieces of jelly first, "I'm still studying before eating, I'm really serious. I wish you all the best in your exams."
