Divine Book Era

Chapter 45 Stereotype
In the era of ancient sages, talents came forth in large numbers, so there are many subjects in the scientific examination, such as ink meanings, scriptures, poems, laws, arithmetic, etc. It can be said that there are many subjects and the scientific examination is difficult.

It was only later that wars continued, literature and Taoism declined, and talents withered.

Therefore, the content of complicated imperial examinations has gradually decreased, and the content of subjects has also decreased.

Only the classics and meanings are tested, and only the stereotyped essays are tested.

First of all, the stereotyped essay was created to deal with the situation where after the great chaos, ten rooms were empty, and talents withered.

After the war, the talents withered, resulting in the overall poor quality of talents. At this time, it is obviously not suitable to conduct multi-subject assessments and difficult assessments.For such a difficult exam, multi-subject exams, a large number of students may be passed. In order to reduce the difficulty of the exam, the subjects are reduced. There are no Mo Yi, Tie Jing, Poetry and Fu, etc., and only one exam is taken.

In the previous imperial examinations, most of the exams were conducted with more than a dozen classics as teaching materials; while the stereotyped essays were only conducted with the Four Books and Five Classics, and a few simple books as teaching materials.The content of the test has been reduced, and the difficulty of the test has also been reduced.

Reducing the number of test subjects and the number of test materials will virtually reduce the difficulty of the test, increase the number of people on the list, and help social stability.

Secondly, stereotyped essays are concise and concise, with no more than a few hundred words and no more than a thousand words. They are concise and concise, and there will be no running accounts.

Rhythmic poems, quatrains, words, etc., all have a format, and they all have a limit on the number of words and rhythm; while stereotyped essays are equivalent to another form of rhymed poems and quatrains.If stereotyped essays are done well, you can do whatever you want, if you want poems, you can write poems, if you want poems, you can write poems.

Stereotyped essays are suitable after the chaos, because the examination threshold is low and easy to get on the list; but stereotyped essays are not suitable for the era when the style of writing is at its peak, because talents cannot be selected;
It is most unsuitable for the Warring States Period, because in the Warring States Period, slaves were not valuable, and loyalty was not valuable, and talents were the most valuable.

Stereotype essay is equivalent to the elementary school composition exam.

When everyone has a low level of education, they take the primary school composition test, and they can be selected as generals from among the dwarfs, and talents can be selected. Those who are too advanced can't play well, so they can only play with some low-level ones.

But when everyone's education level is very high, the composition test for primary school students depends more on luck.Because a seven-year-old child may write an elementary school composition at a higher level than those great writers; and even with a high literary talent, writing an elementary school composition may not be able to write so brilliantly.

Liu Xiu forced his eyes to think, pondered the stereotyped essay, pondered the central idea of ​​the examiner's test, pondered how to write the essay and the structure of the article, and after a full hour, he took a blank manuscript paper, picked up the pen and started composition.

This article is well-balanced, and there are no too novel arguments. It is just written according to the mainstream understanding of the scriptures in this world, plus some insights from his previous life reading. It can be said that the writing is a bit moderate.

Stereotype essays rely on the doctrine of the mean, don't show your sharpness, don't show yourself to be awesome, society doesn't need awesome people, only moderate people are needed.

And in the midst of the mean, Liu Xiu wrote his own novelty.

Confucianism is divided into many factions. Some pursue the soul and pay attention to the perception of the soul, which is the mind school; Restoration, for the retro school; some advocate innovation, for the reform school.

And this exam's Xuezheng is the Heart School.

In the article, Liu Xiu has a hint of spirituality in the midst of the mean.

As for the choice of font, it is thin gold body.

Among many typefaces, Thin Gold is not the best written or the most impactful, but the hardest to imitate.

Don't pretend to be forceful, be struck by lightning if you pretend to be forceful!

If you want to pretend to be aggressive, you'd better learn to be thin and golden!
…………

The drum sounded, and the examination was over.

Standing at the gate of the Gongyuan, Liu Xiu let out a sigh of relief. It feels so good to be free. The Gongyuan is like a pet nest.

There are crowds of people in front of the door, and the scene of endless noise, some who are happy and happy, those who pass the exam are generally silent, and those who fail the exam are crying, what a life!
From a distance, Liu Xiu looked at a 70-year-old uncle, who was still born as a child. After the exam, he was crying like a child now.

Tong Sheng Lao Kao, Lao Kao Tong Sheng!
"Junior brother, how did you do in the exam?" At this moment, a woman appeared, it was Bai Susu.

"I don't know!" Liu Xiu said indifferently: "God knows. I hope I can pass the exam, otherwise it will be Da Chu's misfortune!"

"Junior Brother, I'll take you to have some fun!" Bai Susu said. "It's time to relax!"

"Recently, a noble lady appeared in the Tianwu Tower. She is so beautiful that no words are enough to describe her beauty..." Bai Susu said, "She is not a rouge fan like me!"

"No, I'm a brat, and I don't know how to be a man and a woman!" Liu Xiu said: "A gentleman has three precepts. Dou; I am so old, my vigor is weakened, and I have to guard against it! I am still a kid, I have not grown up yet, and I need robbery!"

"Tianwulou, I need you to support the stage!"

Bai Susu said, "Yingzhou has ten talents, and you have five of them alone. Liu Wudou's name can be said to be resounding throughout Yingzhou. Now that you have free time, it is best to support the situation, write good poems, and help a good friend of mine. , overwhelm the crowd!"

"I don't need to go. I'm a lonely person. Instead of going to join in the fun, it's better to stay and sleep and practice martial arts!" Liu Xiu said, "However, if you want any poems, come up with a topic!"

"Okay! Let's use the bright moon as the topic!" Bai Susu said.

"Moon!"

Liu Xiu closed her eyes and began to think.

After a long time, Liu Xiu opened his eyes and wrote:

"When will the bright moon come? Ask the wine to the blue sky. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year it is. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold on the heights. Dance to find out the shadows. How is it like being in the world? Turn to Zhuge, There is no sleep in a lowly home. There should be no hatred, what is the long-term goodbye? People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxing and waning.

Bai Susu tasted it, and said, "As expected of Liu Bandou!"

"Then you go, I still want to practice martial arts!" Liu Xiu said: "Senior sister, please go back!"

With a poem in hand, the task has been completed. He was extremely happy at first, but seeing Liu Xiu's bored feeling, Bai Susu couldn't help being annoyed: "Why is this poem not a treasure? It seems that the few poems written before are all It's Wenbao!"

"Poems and articles, written for the Heavenly Dao, are recognized by the Heavenly Dao, tempered by the power of the Heavenly Dao, and then they can be turned into cultural treasures!" Liu Xiu said calmly: "This poem, written about the bright moon, is very well written. , It's a pity, it's still not enough, it's a pity that it can't be recognized by the Dao of Heaven, it doesn't conform to the aesthetics of the Dao of Heaven, so it can't be a cultural treasure!"

Turnip greens, all have love!
This Mingyue poem can be said to be the king of Mingyue poems, and many humans like it; it is a pity that Heaven does not like it, so it cannot be turned into a cultural treasure.

"No, I have to write another one!" Bai Susu said.

"Alright!" Liu Xiu said, "Let's come up with a topic!"

"With beautiful women as the theme, write two poems!" Bai Susu said again.

"Taking beautiful women as the theme!" Liu Xiu closed her eyes again and began to think. After a long time, she opened her eyes and began to write.

One:

Pedestrians are gone after the luxury is gone, and the Xiaozheng does not sing and sing.

The majestic sword has no prestige, the brilliance is heavy, and the treasure piano is scattered and the gold stars are destroyed.

The jade steps are lonely and autumn dew falls, and the moon shines on the singing and dancing place at that time.

At that time, the singing and dancing people did not return, and turned into the ashes of Xiling today.

Second:

Erbajia's body looks like crisp, and she cuts fools with a sword at her waist.

Although the head is not seen, he secretly teaches that the bone marrow is dry.

After finishing writing, Liu Xiudao: "There are only three things to do, and the three poems have already been written. Today's talent has been exhausted, and I can't write four more. Go back!"

Bai Susu wanted to say something else, but in the end she turned around and left without saying anything.
