Chapter 201 Fish and Bear's Paws
Chen Kang looked up at the yard. The door he entered was the main gate of the north yard. To the north, there were three halls, with a long aisle in the middle. Zhang Chong was sitting in the aisle, with the west to the east. And further north, there were straw sheds connected together, which were the "test house" for students' exams.
When all the students arrived, the sky was already dawn.
Teacher Chang and several other examiners stood up one after another, bowed to Zhang Chong, and then stood behind Zhang Chong. On the other side, several students who were responsible for the candidates were brought to Zhang Chong and saluted him together.
Zhang Chong nodded quietly, and the students from the escort went behind him in an orderly manner and stood in two rows.
The chief clerk of Shi walked up, holding the roster, and sang: "County school, Liu Qiang, thirteen years old, has a guaranteed student: Wu Min!"
The candidate took a step forward and gave a tribute to Zhang Chongchang. The student behind Zhang Chong replied: "Yes."
Zhang Chong nodded. The candidate was taken to the side to get the test paper, corresponding to the seat number on the test paper, and walked into the test paper.
Song Yuan whispered: "It's a blessing for A Shu to let us come in later. Depending on the situation, we have to wait."
"Yeah." Chen Kang responded.
As time passed, the candidates in the courtyard walked into their examination house one by one. Chen Kang was assigned to the Renshen number, which was considered a moderate place. He did not have to smell the fragrance of the toilet, nor did he hear the voices outside the wall at the gate, nor did he have to be disturbed by the soap officials who were often inspected in the middle.
He calmed down, placed his pen, ink and inkstone, and took a look at the test questions.
I want whatever fish.
From the book "Mencius", it is one of the representative chapters of Mencius. In terms of human nature, he advocated the theory of nature, and believed that people were born with the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. In terms of social and political views, Mencius emphasized the theory of benevolence and politics and the king's way, and put forward the idea that the people are noble and the king is inferior.
This article expresses one's thoughts and puts morality and life on the opposite side. It chooses morality without hesitation and teaches people to treat good and evil in a selective way. Even if life is threatened, they cannot give up righteousness.
The first step in writing the current article is to solve the problem.
The key to solving the problem is to point out the main theme, but also to the direction of etiquette and morality of contemporary people. If you can do these two points, the article is a masterpiece. If you can make the language more concise and make people shine, it will be even more icing on the cake.
Since he saw Wu Dayuan just now, Chen Kang became a little competitive. He wanted to give it a try and try his best to face this county trial. What ranking can he get?
Considering the general theme of the article, he began to recall the contents of the collection of the Four Books, and slowly... picked up the buns in the basket, silently slapped the draft in his heart, and gnawed the steaming buns.
At the beginning of the exam, the yamen runners patrol the examination room with licensed lamps.
As the examiner of this exam, Zhang Chong was full of energy. He sat for a long time and couldn't help but feel curious. He stood up and said to the examiners behind him: "Let's get out of the game, too."
Teacher Chang nodded, smiled and bowed, "Zhang County Master, please." Then he said to the examiner beside him, "Everyone, come with me."
Zhang Chong smiled and began patrolling from the middle aisle. Whenever he stood outside a test room, he would tilt his head and take a look inside.
Some of these candidates, some of them were writing at their desks, probably without time to relieve their hearts. Some were in a state of distress, with a sad face and shook their heads.
Some people respond calmly, and they all have witty words on the pen and paper.
Zhang Chong pointed to the Kaoshe and asked, "What is this candidate's name?"
Chang Tutor replied: "This is a county student, Wu Dayuan."
Zhang Chong nodded and smiled and said, "The son is teachable."
"Thank you, Lord County Master, for your praise." Teacher Chang straightened his back, his face was shining, and his smile became even more.
After leaving a few more test houses, I saw Jiang Liu Jingzheng changing his past appearance, writing seriously, and nodding until... I came to Chen Kang's test house.
The cold wind blew, causing the curtain of the Kao House to sway from time to time. He looked inside through the curtain and saw Chen Kang drinking steaming tea while chewing the buns in small sips.
Zhang Chong was slightly stunned and frowned. Seeing his expression, Chang Teacher Chang felt curious and looked in the curtain. After seeing this, he frowned instantly. Isn’t this child the disciple of Liu Zangshan and Mr. Haoran?
People have finished the exam and are so hungry that they can’t bear to eat some dry food. He has been so tired that he started eating as soon as he came in. Looking at his leisurely look, if he hadn’t been in the exam room, he would have thought he was on an outing!
The examiner was angry when he saw Chen Kang. If other candidates saw it, they would not say how to ridicule him.
Zhang Chong shook his head, feeling extremely disappointed. In anger, he didn't want to patrol any longer and walked towards the lobby to the west with his hands behind his back.
When he arrived at the inner hall, Chang said in a muffled voice: "This child is too unreasonable. If he doesn't take the exam sincerely, why should he come here to join in the fun!"
The examiner on the side said, "Isn't this intentional trouble?"
Zhang Chong put the teacup on the table with a "pop" unhappy.
"Boy!"
......
At this moment, the muddy boy in the eyes of the examiners had finished drinking the tea. He put the small clay stove under his feet, warmed his feet, put the remaining buns back into the basket, took the soft towel and wiped his hands, finally pressed the paperweight on the test paper, held his hand in his sleeve and held his usual brush.
"What I Want Fish"
Every man is leisurely and flows with the meaning of heaven, earth and all things.
Mencius’s meaning is to be preceded by life. After the people take the righteousness and sacrifice their lives, how can you die alone? It is just like saying that every man is afraid of, so he tells the king of Meng.
Mencius said: Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. Both cannot be obtained, and those who sacrifice life to achieve righteousness.
In my Yan, there is a storehouse, and the so-called "respect for things and education" is free of worries.
The fields are like ceilings and beams, and the so-called health preservation and death will be regretful.
Once the people are enough, what is the king who is the only one who is poor?
When you are born, you can still abandon your righteousness. When you are righteous, you have always thought about it and make it clear! You must not stop the righteousness and be ahead. If you are lazy, you should keep this brightness as your sheath!
......
Since he has written the draft, Chen Kang will write it as if he is helping God. He used to spend a lot of time practicing calligraphy, and at this point today, all the benefits were revealed.
For exams in the examination room, the first choice is the style of the table. It is like regular script, emphasizing standardization, beauty, neatness and generousness. It can write pleasing good characters with one hand. It is not only the face of a scholar, but also a great blessing for the examiner to check the paper.
The scholars are popular in Taige style, and most of them focus on how to write rigorously. Once this word becomes rigorous, it is horizontal and vertical, making people feel bored when they read it.
Chen Kang was not a person who had written a handwriting since elementary school, so he was not subject to those rigorous thoughts, and his personality was not as rigid as the ancients. It was reflected in writing, so it seemed that the lines were beautiful and upright, and it was prosperous and prosperous.
There are red lines and vertical docks on this test paper, with twelve columns on each page, twelve characters on each column, and one article is written in time, without any corrections, and the surface of the paper is neat and calm, which is really pleasing to the eye.
He finally dropped the last word, carefully threw the brush into the brush and washed it, blowing the ink trace until the ink dry.
Chapter completed!
