"My husband is blessed with great blessings, and he is as close as Shun. Who can achieve this without having holy virtues?"
After reading the lecture, Yang Yinqiu said "Hey" unconsciously.
This sound attracted Peng Ruyu, who was drinking tea. He turned his head and looked at Yang Yinqiu, who had been silent for a long time, and saw an almost undetectable look of excitement on his face.
"Maybe I saw some good sentences again!" Peng Ruyu didn't care.
But the excitement on Yang Yinqiu's face became thicker and more obvious.
Suddenly, Yang Yinqiu twirled his beard and said with a long smile: "Mr. Peng, you Yangzhou is indeed a place with outstanding people and outstanding people!"
Peng Ruyu was confused by what he said: "I don't know what the great master meant by this."
Yang Yinqiu held the paper in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "My question is about a hundred words long, with many clues, but this candidate only used about three hundred words to explain the question clearly. This shows that this candidate has mastered the meaning of the question. The power!"
After saying that, he handed the test paper in his hand to Peng Ruyu.
At first, Peng Ruyu thought that Yang Yinqiu was returning to his old habit, so he was shocked again.
But after reading the full text, the look of shock on his face was no less shocking than that of Yang Yinqiu.
"This article is written in the style of "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", and the title is directly regarded as a biography. Moreover, the article is concise in meaning and powerful in writing. It is truly a magnificent article!" Peng Ruyu was also born as a Jinshi, and almost all people with a Jinshi background are this Elite talents at the head of the country. He can naturally understand whether an eight-legged article is good or bad.
Yang Yinqiu nodded, and said excitedly with deep approval: "Prefect Peng, look at the first section of the detailed narrative title of this first paragraph, which sets the foundation for the whole article. "With Lu and Prosperity" "By the way, the sub-section of the title is inserted, and the symbol of "mandation" is inserted. You can see that there is a sentence that goes straight to the next section, making the structure of this article compact!"
Peng Ruyu pointed at the paper and said: "The words [also] in the second and third paragraphs make the whole mind gather together and are extremely condensed."
Yang Yinqiu took the paper in Peng Ruyu's hand, found these two paragraphs, and read silently: "Moreover, [the poem] has Zhengyan, which means that it is good for the people and pleasant for the people, and it is also a sign of morality."
Yang Yinqiu and Peng Ruyu are usually very serious people.
But at this time, everyone was breathing rapidly and their faces were red. This was the excitement after reading a good article and admiring it. This was the excitement after reading a good article with a lingering fragrance in the mouth.
Peng Ruyu said: "There are no divisions in this article. It is all scattered. It is purely an ancient article. It has different meanings and regular patterns, but it has such a wonder!"
Yang Yinqiu nodded: "It is narrated according to the title, and its peeling breath, folding and crossing place, it is the history and migration of the time!"
All the scribes in the audience showed curiosity when they saw the two big guys touting this article on the stage.
It is not that there were no good essays in the college examinations in previous years, but compared with the provincial examinations and the general examinations, the quality was certainly uneven.
But even if it is a provincial examination or a general examination, it is impossible for the examiner to catch an article and blow it up to the sky.
The Tong Sheng who wrote this article was even praised as Sima Qian, and the article was compared to "Historical Records".
Are you kidding me?
That is Tai Shigong. Let alone this dynasty, even after the Han Dynasty, how many people can reach the height of Tai Shigong's writing style?
At this time, Yang Yinqiu said: "The operation of this article's method and the infusion of Qi are like Zimei's seven-character ancient poem, which opens and closes intermittently, and makes the readers smooth and happy..."
As he spoke, he straightened up and checked the article again. Well, the whole article had an ancient meaning and was not like Xu He's writing style that day.
When he thought of this, he turned to Peng Ruyu and said, "This boy has the qualifications to be the head of the court examination case. What does Magistrate Peng think?"
Peng Ruyu was a little calmer than him, nodded, and then said: "Indeed, but we have to look at it in conjunction with the scriptures and meanings!"
Yang Yinqiu knew that this was a mature and prudent statement, so he nodded, drew a circle and made a mark in the middle of the bottom of the scroll.
The closer to the middle, the higher the ranking, and the circle at the bottom of this test paper is exactly at the center of the test paper.
In other words, putting aside the unimportant test item of poetry test, as long as the student's classical meaning questions are not so awkward, then there is hope for the top ten in the college examination.
…
For the next four days, Yang Yinqiu has been in the temporary school yamen, invigilating exams and grading papers.
It took him three days in total to finish reading all the four papers. At this time, the college examinations for all prefectures and counties in Yangzhou Prefecture were officially completed.
After all the papers were deliberately disrupted and delayed, they were mixed together with the last batch of four volumes and handed to Yang Yinqiu's desk.
After Yang Yinqiu finished reviewing, he ordered the officials to put the successful examination papers into three grades.
Then there will be an increase or decrease based on the admissions situation in each county at the top of the page.
For example, if a county has selected twenty candidates, then ten more rejected papers must be found in that county to make up the number.
Another county took a total of fifty people, and twenty more people had to be eliminated from the fifty.
There is no way, the admission ratio of each county is determined in advance. How to determine the ratio?
This is a very tedious matter, and an appropriate number must be set based on the actual cultural and educational situation of the county, as well as the number of Jinshi, Juren, Scholars, and Tongsheng.
After three days of deciding on the admission ratio for the "Four Books" questions, Yang Yinqiu's next job was to read the Five Classics questions again.
Compared with the questions on the Four Books, the weight of questions on the Five Classics in the college examination is naturally slightly lower.
However, as the imperial examinations entered the stage of provincial examinations and above, questions from the Five Classics gradually became more important.
Therefore, the Five Classics questions are actually a very important assessment criterion in the college examination.
Yang Yinqiu read a few articles in the past two days, and found that most of them were acceptable and only a few were amazing.
But today, he finally discovered an article written by Tong Sheng in the Book of Changes.
This time Yang Yinqiu's title is "The Complete Chapter of Da Guo".
The article begins with: "There is no difficulty in not having to blame, the way is to advance to heaven!"
Then he wrote: "Why does the madam have no faults? If you seek it from the Book of Changes, some people will do it for the rest of their lives."
Yang Yinqiu nodded and said: "This article comprehensively analyzes the history of the classics and makes in-depth exploration. It does not contradict the annotations of the classics and can also come up with its own opinions. It is indeed good."
Thinking of this, he drew a circle in the middle of the bottom of the article.
Then, he put the paper into the bamboo basket, picked up the other paper below and read it.
This article was written by Tong Sheng, who took "Shi" as his classic.
Yang Yinqiu smiled slightly when he saw the question.
This time he chose "Zhou Nan·Juan Er" as the title. It seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult to write it well.
In fact, if you want to write the eight-part essay of "Poetry" well, in the words of later generations, you must do four aspects:
First of all, the article should stick closely to the topic, seek meaning based on the text, and make a summary of the original meaning and interest of the article.
Secondly, the article should be renovated and cleverly constructed, with a group of couplets and verses with strong meaning and rationality in the "Poetry" giving a vivid and layered analysis.
Third, through creative rewriting and reproduction, we need to conduct a new and in-depth aesthetic exploration of the relationship between mind, object and situation in the meaning of the classics.
Fourth, through the vivid description of the characters and psychological activities in the poem, it can be more vivid and more subtle aesthetic expansion.
From these four points, we can see that although the poems are simple in diction and catchy, they are not as subtle and meaningful as other scriptures.
But it’s also very difficult to write well.
This kind of aesthetic reproduction and extension places high demands on the aesthetic taste of the writer.
