Soon, we reached the third level.
Fang Yi showed his potential with overwhelming force in the first two levels, and he became more and more curious about this third level.
What else needs to be tested in this third level? ?
When we arrived at the third school, the first thing we saw was the rows of exam tables.
Fang Yi was a little surprised when he saw this. Could it be that he really failed the third level? Fang Yi didn't know much about the academy before, and he didn't know what the entrance exam for the academy was like.
But this time it became clear that the first level tests talent, the second level tests control, and the third level is the exam.
At this time, the old Confucian also spoke: "Everyone, as you can see now, this third test is the real entrance exam."
"Please take a seat, please." The old Confucian said, instructing many students and guiding Fang Yi and others to sit down.
"The time limit for this exam is one hour. After one hour, whether you have finished writing or not, you must hand in the paper." The old Confucian said and asked: "Everyone, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded.
The old Confucian then said: "In that case, let's get started."
With his "Let's go", the previous students held the test papers in their hands, and distributed the test papers to every student.
This was the first time Fang Yi saw what was on the test paper.
After getting the test paper, Fang Yi did not rush to write. Instead, he took the lead in looking at the others. He wanted to see how others performed after seeing the test paper.
Others had different expressions. Some seemed confident, some looked surprised after seeing the test paper, and many more showed normal expressions.
This means that they may have guessed the topic of this paper before.
There is nothing else on the test paper except four big characters.
"Why study?"
Why choose to study?
Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh. This question was really a good one. Most students would probably find it difficult to think about this question seriously.
But no one has a clear idea of what the purpose of reading is.
There is no explanation of the purpose of reading in the vast number of books from ancient times to the present, including the "Four Sage Classics".
It seems that since Confucianism and Taoism began to develop, the disciples who embarked on Confucianism and Taoism all knew that they wanted to study.
But why I want to study, no one can tell at the moment.
This is also the reason why some disciples started to frown tightly after seeing this test paper.
Fang Yi thought carefully for a long time before starting to write.
He wrote word by word, and every stroke he wrote was very serious.
These days, Fang Yi has been practicing calligraphy, which is much better than before. The handwriting he wrote before can be said to be indescribable, but now, although his handwriting is still ugly, it is much better than before.
In a quarter of an hour, Fang Yi finished writing the test paper.
He only wrote four sentences.
It takes up less than half the paper of the test paper.
After finishing writing, Fang Yi stood up, walked to a certain student, and handed in the test paper.
The student was a little shocked by Fang Yi's writing speed. You must know that the other students were immersed in writing now, and the "swishing" sound of the brush rubbing against the paper was endless.
Fang Yi actually finished writing it.
The student was quite curious about what Fang Yi had written, but as a student taking the service exam, he was not qualified to check what the student had written, and he had to wait for the test papers to be collected before he could name them.
However, through the paper, it can be vaguely seen that Fang Yi did not write much.
"As expected, he is the son-in-law from the North. He only used a few words for such a question. I guess there is nothing to write, so just write a few sentences to make up the numbers." The student thought so, and immediately collected the test paper, and the other party Yi waved. He waved his hand, indicating that Fang Yi could leave.
Fang Yi turned around and glanced at the many students who were immersed in answering questions, smiled softly, turned and left.
Fang Yi left the classroom. Xia He and Dong Zhu were already waiting outside.
"Sister-in-law, the academy has arranged accommodation. However, the academy has a ban. Accompanying maids are not allowed to live with students. We were arranged in a wing in the north." Xia He said.
"We have packed everything." Dongzhu added: "And the academy is a double residence. My uncle, you live with another student named Shangguan Mingyue."
"Huh?" Fang Yi was slightly startled, why do you want me to live with a sissy?
Fang Yi had no other impression of Shangguan Mingyue. He just felt that this person was either a transvestite or a gay. Fang Yi felt somewhat awkward when he learned that he wanted to live with him.
However, this was the arrangement of the academy, and he had no choice but to obey. He couldn't just ask the academy to make an exception and prepare a separate residence for him right after he arrived.
"Since it is the arrangement of the academy, let's let it be like this." Fang Yi no longer hesitated, but took Xia He and Dong Zhu to wander around the academy together.
In the Academy Examination, except for the first level where people will be removed, the second and third levels will not remove people.
The first level is the talent of Confucianism and Taoism. People who don’t even have talent will naturally find it difficult to achieve much in Confucianism and Taoism.
The second level and the third level are to test the students' potential. The talent is there. As long as they are carefully cultivated in the future, the students' potential can be continuously stimulated.
In other words, as long as you pass the first level of talent, you will be a disciple of the Academy.
This is also the reason why no one was cleared in the second and third rounds.
…
"Mr. Li, all the test papers have been collected." At this time, an hour has passed and the third round of exams has ended.
A student handed the collected test papers into the hands of the old scholar after clearing his name.
The old Confucian nodded and said, "Send the test papers to Grand Master Qi, and at the same time summon other Grand Scholars to come and mark the papers."
As a Hanlin scholar, he is not qualified to evaluate papers. The third round of evaluation is usually done by the bachelor of Qi University, and the other nine bachelors cooperate.
This is also called the "Top Ten Bachelor's Examination Papers".
Several students quickly began to take action.
Not long after, Jiangnan Academy was the residence of Qi University scholars.
The other nine academicians had already arrived. After the old scholar informed the ten academicians about the test situation, he left the place.
Qi Feiyang was the first to speak: "My dear friends, today is the big day for the academy's admissions. I heard that in the first round of tests, 5 students received talent evaluations above 8, four with 8.8, and one with 8.9. This has been the case since dozens of years ago. Years ago, Zhao Zhe was the most brilliant generation of disciples after their generation."
Other academicians stroked their beards and praised: "Great kindness!"
Zhao Zhe's generation was also a generation with bright stars and all kinds of talents. Their generation produced four seniors who were rated above 8. Now those four people have fulfilled their original talents and achieved great results. As for the position of great Confucians, the four great Confucians are known as the "Four Outstanding Masters of Jiangnan" in Dali Confucianism and Taoism.
Five of them appeared this time, which was a sign that Jiangnan Academy would prosper.
"As usual, we need to discuss and judge the results of the third round of assessment one by one." Qi Feiyang went straight to the point without saying any more nonsense: "Please take the trouble to observe with me."
Qi Feiyang said, with a tap of his finger, the content on the test paper automatically condensed into talent, which appeared in front of everyone.
The problems are all the same, the same problem.
"Why study?"
The answer to this question is not uniform. These great scholars only use their answers to look at students' understanding of Confucianism and Taoism and their understanding of reading. From the answers, we can see a student's character and even his future achievements.
The first answer is a policy article that talks about the infinite benefits of reading, with plentiful quotations and brilliant literary talent. The key words are neat and clear, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Qi Feiyang nodded slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he took the lead and waited for other bachelors to speak.
A bachelor was the first to speak: "The intention of the article is above average, the calligraphy has ancient connotations, and the literary talent is the best choice, B!"
The grading standards are divided into four levels: A, B, C and D. Each level has three levels: upper, middle and lower.
The first article received an "Above B" rating, which is not low at all. It also clearly shows that the quality of the students admitted this year is very high.
"Second the proposal!" Several other bachelors spoke one after another.
Qi Feiyang waited for everyone to finish their comments before he said "secondary opinion"!
The evaluation in red letters on B automatically appeared on the paper.
"Part two!"
"Part three!"
…
Not long after, most of the test papers had been evaluated.
It's a pity that no one can get the evaluation of A, and the highest one is B in the first article.
"Article 35." Qi Feiyang followed suit and turned the writing on the test paper into his talent, displaying it in front of everyone.
The bachelors who were the first to see this answer frowned. Is this an article? ?
I wrote a few lines, and the handwriting was distorted. I couldn’t get into the elegant hall, and it was difficult to...
Just when the bachelors were about to complain, they were suddenly stunned.
Everyone's breathing suddenly became rapid, and a bachelor couldn't help but read out the content of the four lines.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth!"
"Establish a destiny for the people!"
"Continue the unique learning for the Holy Spirit!"
"To create peace for all eternity!"
"Hold the grass!" A bachelor couldn't hold back and swore.
As a result, a group of highly knowledgeable and well-educated bachelors suddenly wanted to use expletives.
Whose handiwork is this?
Who wrote this?
Any comment from any saint? ?
Qi Feiyang was also stunned, these four sentences! !
He looked at those four sentences in disbelief, and for a moment, his power surged out, disrupting everyone's thoughts.
The bachelors came to their senses with difficulty, but felt that these four sentences were extremely well written, and could not help but sink into them.
None of them spoke, they just kept reciting these four sentences to themselves.
Until a certain moment, Qi Feiyang finally said: "Everyone, how should you evaluate this article??"
The other bachelors just woke up from a dream and wanted to comment on the four sentences, but they didn't know how to speak.
Evaluate these four sentences?
The bachelors suddenly felt ashamed of themselves and felt deeply that they were not worthy.
