Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

There are a total of five doctors of the Five Classics in the Imperial College, and there are 15 teaching assistants, who are in charge of six classes. On this day, the Chengyi Hall is taught by Xie Jing, a newly assigned Jinshi assistant teacher after the mid-test this year.

Chengyitang is not like the three halls of Justice, Chongzhi, and Guangyi. There are also several-year-old Xiaoxungui who study and practice rituals. Those who come in are all supervised students who are familiar with the four books and five classics and can write articles. Therefore, Assistant Professor Xie did not take care of the six freshmen who were assigned, and only talked about "University" at his own pace.

He was talking about "It is the old gentleman who is first to be careful with virtue. There are people who have virtue, others have soil, soil has money, and money has money is useful."

However, when he lectured the book, he did not follow the chapters and sentences, but started with "be careful of morality first, and you must be careful to talk about the above." This sentence Cui Xie was very familiar with, it was exactly the sentence in the "Four Imperial Books" that Master Liu gave him.

Guozijian is a school built by the emperor, and the textbooks used in it are naturally the "Daquan" compiled by Taizu in the past, which is reasonable.

Cui Xie's hand holding a charcoal pen hung over the paper, and most of the "Encyclopedia" was skipped, only a few words to remind himself. Only the teaching assistant quoted the contents of "Morality two or three, no fierceness" and "non-permanent virtue" in the "Shu" and "Yi" etc. It was only when the heart was just a matter of fact, that I was struggling to write and write down quickly.

He has memorized both the "Encyclopedia of Sexual Principles" and the "Compendium of Zizhi Tongjian" in the university. He finally didn't have to rush to take notes for this class, and he could sit upright and listen to the lecture like other students.

Assistant Professor Xie also walked to his desk after he left the classroom, picked up the folded notebook, holding the few folds with his class content, and comparing it with the two doctors and doctors the day before yesterday, his amber eyes raised. He got up, smiled and asked him: "Why did the two adults remember such detailed lessons before, so I only remembered a few sentences? Did you write down the analysis of these few sentences after "Yuxi Lushi"?"

Standing behind the table, Cui Xie replied without hesitation: "Yes, when the students were at home, a senior Mr. Liu presented the book "The Daquan" by memorizing this chapter. Yuxi Lu said: Virtue is morality, and morality is It is Ming Mingde. First be careful of morality, to calm the world..."

Xie Jingwei was a little surprised, showing a somewhat natural expression, and sighed: "Generally, students only read "Daquan" after entering school. Nowadays, the examination room does not respect Daquan, and there are fewer people who read it. I have memorized it. No wonder, after all, you are able to publish the "Four Book Dialogues", so that the military master will be a model person..."

He put the notebook back on the table, straightened up and scanned the sentient beings in the lecture hall, and raised his voice and said: "You new students come late, come to me after class where you haven't heard before, and I will tell you from the beginning. If you can't read other books, You can come to me if you know it. Although I am dealing with "Shangshu", but I have also learned some of the Five Classics, and I can teach you."

All beings agreed. Assistant Professor Xie turned and left the class with a stack of teaching plans, Cui Xie packed up his small schoolbags, and ran out to chase the assistant teachers without having to eat lunch.

He is a man who has studied martial arts. He is light and strong. Assistant Xie walked not very fast. He chased out the Chengyitang Academy and rushed to Xie Jing after not running very far. They walked in the same direction as the students who went to the dining hall or the number room. The road was extremely quiet, and he turned his head before he could get up to thank the scriptures.

Cui Xie stared at him, stood still and said, "Mr. Fang Cai said, I can come over to make up the lesson later..."

Assistant Xie first glanced at the clepsydra outside Yilun Hall. Seeing that it was still early, he nodded and took him back to the assistant's compartment where he rested. There were still two teaching assistants in the room at the time, and there was nothing serious about them. They were all idle reading, when they saw a primary school student, they all took a fresh look.

Assistant Professor Xie told them the names of the students and introduced the two assistants to him. After he saluted him, he pulled him into his own position and asked: "Do you want to make up the schoolwork from the previous few days?"

Cui Xie respectfully replied, "It's... if you want to ask the teaching assistant for "Shu" Sutra? When students read "University", they often quote sentences from "Shang Shu" in the text. Although the husband taught how Interpretation, but when students read the original scriptures, they often don’t understand. The student teacher is the author of "The Poetry", and there are some places that cannot be explained in detail. I hope my assistant will teach me to read the "Book"..."

Assistant Professor Xie said: "You are in charge of "Poetry". Do you really want to read "Book" from me? This is not beneficial to you, and it is not necessarily beneficial to your career."

Cui Xie looked at him suspiciously.

Assistant Professor Xie glanced at him and explained: "If you can concentrate on reading your "Poems", based on your essays when you were in prison, you will have the opportunity to have a try in the next year's test. You are expected to end at the age of nineteen. Examination. If you have a lot of treatment, all your textbooks and essays will be spent. If you fail to get the first place after three years, there will be many talents in the world. Who remembers you as the chief of the three yuan case?"

Cui Xie was stunned, but he was a little worried that the time would be prolonged. In the meantime, Cui Que came back from Yunnan, so he could trouble him.

However, among the Five Classics, he has only formally studied the Book of Songs, and the rest is memorized by himself. When writing an article, he can only observe the chapters and sentences and add some historical materials from the general books. When quoting other scriptures, I am afraid that any sentence or explanation is wrong. Writing in this way, he is afraid that after the modern accumulation is exhausted, his thinking will become narrower and narrower, and he can only repeat himself one by one after he writes.

He could still fool around when he was in the county. There are real scholars and essay masters everywhere in Beijing. Can he still fool around?

He gritted his teeth, looked up at Assistant Professor Xie, and said sincerely: "The students just hate that they have read too few books before. Now they have to study in Chinese Studies, they want to learn as much as possible. Mr. Wang taught me."

The two assistants next to him also persuaded: "We teach in Chinese Studies. It's rare to meet a student who loves to learn. What if we teach him more?"

Xie Jing said: "He is so old and knowledgeable that he has to abandon the original scripture and treat others. How about taking a concubine only when he marries a wife. Only those who are neglected on both sides can be cured well?"

The two colleagues laughed and said that he was fainting. Xie Jing joked with his colleagues, then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Come and sit down. I will fill you up with the homework of the previous chapters. Your original husband might not be able to understand himself, making you so bold. Son, you have to learn the classics when you speak... Actually, you students don’t have to administer the Five Classics all over the place. You only need to thoroughly understand the "Four Books" and the Five Classics will work."

Cui Xie agreed, moved the chair over, opened the notebook, and listened to him from the "University Way".

Just a few quarters of an hour before lunch, Assistant Professor Xie hurriedly mentioned the phrase "Knowing the priority, then the next step is close." After looking at the sun outside, he asked him to go to the dining hall for dinner first, and leave for school in the afternoon. Cui Xie also saw that it was not early, and was afraid that he would disturb the gentlemen's meal, so he quickly got up and apologized.

Xie Jing waved his hand: "Needless to say, I brought my own food, just to see your physique... I'm afraid you will be hungry. You have to come slowly to study, you are still young, don't rush to read so many books. In a few days, I will teach you Mr. Xishan’s "University Yanyi", and I will give you some supplementary history, and I will talk about it later in the book of Shang Shujing—"

Cui Xie quickly wrote down the four words "University Yanyi", thanked the teaching assistant for teaching, got up and packed his schoolbag.

He also brought the lunch box himself, and when he packed his pen and paper, he took it out to eat in the cafeteria. Assistant Professor Xie said when he saw it, "You brought the food? Then I ask Zaifu to heat it for you, which is more convenient than going to the cafeteria."

Cui Xie laughed and said, "The cooking cakes that students bring from home can be eaten cold. It is more convenient to take notes while eating in the dining hall."

Assistant Professor Liu from the wall laughed and said, “It’s best to put your notes on the header of the book. You can refer to the article when you look down. It’s not convenient to write it in a single notebook.”

Assistant Professor Xie shook his head and said, "Brother Laigui didn't see it. He remembered a lot of his notes, half a copy... You take it out and show it to Assistant Liu."

Isn't this just the head teacher showing off the students in his class with other teachers? Cui Xie missed it a little, and took out the notebook very happily—but it was not the one that he usually wrote in class, but a new notebook that he copied after returning home and used a new notebook that he would use to record.

The notes were copied in Taige style, upright and clear, and still the size of one frame and two lines. The handwriting is divided into three colors: ink pen for general content, indigo blue for the most important, and vermilion ink for the most important. The content quoted from other scriptures is coated with a thin layer of acerola, which dyes the entire grid into light yellow, which is more prominent on the snow-white mulberry paper.

At a glance, you can distinguish the importance level and which part should be the most memorable.

The two teaching assistants Liu and Wang looked at them together. The more they looked, the more neat and refreshing they became. They couldn't help sighing: "This is simply more refreshing than the marginal annotations in the "Six Talents Annotated Edition of Three Kingdoms", so serious students."

Ashamed, the layout of "Three Kingdoms" was also designed by him.

As the two assistants talked, they said that the Three Kingdoms hadn't published a new book for a long time, and Ju Anzhai didn't know whether there were real or fake drawings. Their hardcover books were bought for nothing. The boss Cui Xie became more embarrassed as he listened. He returned to Assistant Xie's desk with his notes and said goodbye to the assistant Gao Jie who didn't read free books.

Assistant Professor Xie looked at the notes he had really made, and couldn't help but applaud and he didn't mention letting him go back. He asked: "You really started to treat the classics when you returned to Qian'an County? Just like Master Ben Bing said. Yes, after two years of study, you can be tested as the case leader? Did you read "The Daquan" in Beijing, or did you only read it in the countryside?"

Cui Xie didn't know how he remembered asking himself about the study experience of an ordinary student, but he answered honestly: "Students are young and ignorant when they are at home, and they don't know that studying is important. They start to work hard after they arrive in their hometown."

Xie Jing asked, "But because the countryside is hard, I have nothing to do except studying, so I am determined to learn?"

Cui Xie's life in Qian'an is extremely rich, and he can draw sore hands every day when he paints, and there is absolutely nothing to do. In addition, he has to learn bow horses, he has to manage the shop, and he has to participate in poetry meetings with talented people to recommend his books and drawing notes...

He thought of those days of hard work but often had fun, and thought of those friends, a little distracted.

It wasn’t until Assistant Xie uttered an “um” 2 beside him that Cui Xie came back to his senses and replied, “My father sent the students back to his hometown on the same day. It was originally for this year’s test. There are tests hanging in front of him, and then The school student was injured by the culprits on his way back to his hometown. When he recovered from his injury, he realized the impermanence of life, and felt that the time was especially precious now, so he would naturally have to study hard."

He was awarded the Emperor Jing Award for his injury, and he only had to hide it from his grandmother, and he had nothing to say to others.

"Well... there is a big horror between life and death, and it is natural to have an epiphany in the investigation of life and death." Assistant Xie took down his notes and slowly chewed his words, as if drinking chicken soup for the soul, his eyes wandered, I didn't expect it. what.

Cui Xie wanted to say goodbye to him again. Thanks to the assistant teacher for regaining his senses, he did not tell him to go. He cleared the table and said, "The dining hall is far away, and time is wasted once and again. Eat it here, and copy your notes by the way. It's also quiet here, so you won't be disturbed when you go back to school."

He also unceremoniously spent noon in the office, copied the morning notes, recognized several teaching assistants, and went back with an assistant professor Du who taught "Poems" in the classics class in the afternoon.

After class, the classmates who copied his notes last time still gathered around and asked him: "Can you take all of Cui Xian's notes? Brother Yu wants to make a correction..."

Cui Xie's morning notes were all copied, and the PDF was printed in his mind, and he lent both copies to everyone for copying.

Those students who had not memorized the "Daquan" originally planned to borrow a copy from Yiluntang to compare it. They didn't expect him to make up such a neat and clear version. They couldn't help but sigh while reading: "Where are the copied notes? The book printed by Zhirong Bookstore is not as neat and clear. If someone prints a book like this, even if I have copied it myself, I have to buy one..."

Choi Xie also deeply moved.

If someone invented a photocopier now, wouldn't he be able to copy Mr.'s handouts directly, and just use a highlighter to focus on the lesson? Why bother to memorize and copy again after class?

It's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to read the lecture directly. Maybe after a few years, he compiled the lectures of the instructors, but he could print a few copies for the benefit of future students.
