Xie Liangcai finally cheated and lived in Xu He's house.
Although Xu He refused in his heart, for the sake of standing up for himself just now, he could only give up the other half of the small bed board.
Willow branches above the moon!
"Creak... creak..."
"Hey! Senior brother, let's talk about whether you can twist around awkwardly, my bed board is too much for me!" Xu He was a little annoyed as he held the quilt.
Xie Liangcai almost cried: "If I had known that I would sleep on this bed, I might as well have made do with my elder brother!"
He had lived in fine clothes since he was a child, and it felt fresh when he first moved in, but after a while he couldn't bear it anymore!
"If you ask me, why don't you go to my house and study with me? My father hired a tutor to teach me at home. It's not as good as my eldest brother's place... cough cough cough!" Xie Liangcai suddenly felt that something was wrong with his words and quickly said Cough cover.
Xu He smiled: "Counting the days, the government examination is coming soon, so I don't have to worry about it. Besides, my writing style of eight-legged prose needs to be more confident and perfect."
Xie Liangcai's eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness when he heard this: "Tell me what you think, and let's go over the details together!"
"Today you asked me to use "Zhuang Bao Meets Mencius" as the title. Although I used Bixing's technique in the article, I think parallel prose should be used, but not too much! After all, Shi Wen is imitating the tone of the ancients, so it is still You should read more of Han Tuizhi’s articles from the classical literature school!”
"What's the specifics?" Xie Liangcai asked impatiently.
Xu He said: "It is not without reason that Han Changli is respected by later generations as the head of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Look at his articles. He combines literature and Taoism, is powerful and appropriate in speaking, and his writing is smooth and smooth!"
"To put it bluntly, when writing an article, you must say something meaningful, express the true emotions in your heart, and then start from the emotion, inspire the spirit in your chest, and finish it in one go. Don't talk about those piecemeal nonsense,"
"Only when you move yourself can you move others! Brother, do you think this is true?"
Suddenly, there was a "clunk" sound in the darkness, and Xie Liangcai sat up excitedly: "Xiaohe, you summed it up so well! Yes, yes, that's it, that's it!"
"Don't worry about parallel prose or ancient prose, adapt to the conditions of the text and the times!"
Xu He added: "It depends on the person taking the exam!"
In later generations, teachers in examination preparation classes emphasized more than once that the final score of the application was closely related to the marking teacher.
If you are the kind of teacher who likes to be pragmatic, if you write the article with beautiful words and colorful flowers, you are likely to get high marks.
But when you meet a pragmatic teacher, when you write, you must be realistic and come up with your own ideas and insights, so that the teacher can give you high marks.
But before, you didn’t know who the marking teacher was.
But this era is different. The examiners in this era are announced in advance.
As long as you read the articles written by the examiner before and understand his political views, you can know from the side what kind of writing style he likes.
"Wonderful!" After listening to Xu He's words, Xie Liangcai was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
In fact, part of what Xu He said is also a summary of the wisdom of scholars of the Ming and Qing generations in history.
However, in the Wei Dynasty, the imperial examination was conducted intermittently for several years at the founding of the country, and the court seemed to have never found the final examination method for the imperial examination.
But when Emperor Xuanzong of the Wei Dynasty finally decided to use Zhu Xi's theory as the correct answer, he used the Four Books and Five Classics as the source of the test questions to test the eight-legged essay.
It also stipulates specific writing rules for eight-legged essays.
Eight-part essay is also called Jingyi, Zhiyi, and Zhiyi. Generally speaking, it is a special style of writing for examinations.
Prior to this, the imperial examinations used a large number of two-part, four-part, and six-part compositions, and there were even two-part essays that divided the article into two parts according to the topic.
What's more, in the end, some candidates simply wrote in ancient Chinese style!
Emperor Xuanzong may be a format maniac, and he thinks that such a mess is not a problem.
Therefore, together with the ministers, we combined and referred to the practice of splitting and antitheses in some classics in the Song Dynasty, and thus formulated the eight-part literary style.
What is stereotyped writing?
Break the topic, carry the topic, start the lecture, start, start the stock, middle stock, back stock, and end stock.
The full text must represent oneself as the sages of Confucius and Mencius, and write in their tone. No free play is allowed. The stylistic specifications must be written in accordance with regulations, and vulgar allusions are not allowed to blaspheme the saints.
Because it is a new literary style, it has only been around for more than seventy years. Therefore, from the development of the eight-part essay to the present, we must follow the rules. From the beginning to the end of the article, we do not dare to invert a word, so it is simple and clumsy, but The neatness and literary quality are much worse!
Xu He was inspired by Master Xie. Although he did not dare to tamper with the eight-legged writing format, he came up with a new way, which was to mix ancient and contemporary prose to add a little literary quality to the eight-legged writing and reduce a little classicism.
This makes readers feel that the article is full, interesting and catchy.
This undoubtedly made Xie Liangcai, who had been taught to compose according to the rules since childhood, feel excited, as if someone had opened up a new world.
"Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty by Emperor Gao, Emperor Xuanzong established the eight-legged writing, taking seven out of three and focusing on the first. For decades, heroes have been buried in the eight-legged writing. Only one out of ten people stand out, and nine out of ten are unsatisfied. "
"After listening to what Xiaohe said today, as long as I read the scriptures and pay a little attention when entering the venue, I will be like a copy student, even in high school!"
Speaking of excitement, Xie Liangcai excitedly put on his clothes and got out of bed, dancing in front of Xu He.
Can you not be excited?
The small change Xu He mentioned seemed like nothing.
But to the ears of contemporaries, it was like seeing the blue sky through clouds and mist.
Xie Liangcai became more and more excited as he talked. The bed was too hard and he couldn't sleep on it anyway, so he simply took Xu He to study Zhiyi.
At first, Xu He felt drowsy, but soon, when Xie Liangcai talked about his experience in writing, some details attracted Xu He's attention.
For example, the simplest way to solve a problem is divided into two methods: overt solution and secret solution.
Assuming that the title is "filial brother", the meaning of "filial brother" can be understood directly.
But if you use "Lun" to replace the word "filial brother", it is a secret.
As for why it is necessary to use Lun to betray the filial brother, those who have not studied the meaning of the scriptures will definitely not understand.
In fact, the two words "filial brother" and "filial brother" are the same as "filial piety". Aren't these two words what Confucianism calls "ethics"?
Using ethics to explain filial piety and brotherhood is an extension of the original theme.
Therefore, the Eight-legged Composition is extremely clever and ingenious.
There are also positive and negative solutions to breaking the problem.
For example, in the "Learning and Practicing from Time to Time" test that I have taken before, if you break it according to the principle that you should "learn from time to time" to break it, this is called a positive break. If you break it if you assume that you have learned it but don't "learn it from time to time" to break it, it is a counter-break. .
Xie Liangcai also talked about many problems-solving techniques such as smooth breaking, reverse breaking, first breaking, and second breaking.
Xu He was a little sleepy at first, but soon he discovered that some of the things Xie Liangcai said were something he had never heard of even in later generations.
In other words, he just swept past some things without thinking deeply about them.
But in this era, all this knowledge will be used in the future, so he listened very carefully.
In this way, the two of them discussed each other all night without sleeping. It was not until Mr. Xie got up to cook that they suddenly realized that it was already dawn.
