Yes, all the bachelors feel that they are unworthy and unworthy to comment on these four sentences.
"Why study?"
Everyone has a different answer. Some people say it well, and some people understand it less well, but everyone knows that reading is beneficial, and they also know clearly why they should read.
But no one has ever said that reading is for these four reasons.
To establish a heart for heaven and earth?
To make a living for the people?
Continuing the unique learning for the Holy Spirit?
To create peace for all eternity? ?
The breathing of many bachelors became heavier and heavier.
These four sentences should be the words of a saint!
It should be the wise words of a saint to educate scholars all over the world!
These four sentences are concise and profound. They say that scholars should understand the principles of heaven and earth so that the way of heaven can be manifested!
Scholars must establish a livelihood for the people so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment!
Scholars must continue the immortal teachings of the Four Sages so that their unique knowledge can be passed down to future generations!
Scholars must build a great foundation for eternity and ensure peace for eternity!
At this time, Qi Feiyang looked at the bachelors who were all blushing and thick-necked, shaking their heads repeatedly, and then said: "My dear friends, these four sentences are beyond the scope of what we have learned. I suggest that this test paper be sent to the great scholar Zhao Zhe. , let the great scholar make the decision."
"Who wrote the article?" A senior scholar asked, "Should the name be removed?"
Qi Feiyang shook his head: "The rules of the academy have been passed down for thousands of years. The rules cannot be abolished, and the names cannot be removed. In this way, I will make a copy and send it to Zhao Zhe."
Qi Feiyang quickly wrote a copy at this time. Just when he was about to send the copy to the scholar Zhao Zhe, a bachelor spoke again: "Brother Qi, I thought it would be better to wait until we finish evaluating all the papers of the remaining seniors." , make plans again, if there are still papers that we cannot judge, we can copy them together and then send them to Great Scholar Zhao Zhe."
Qi Feiyang's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Da Shan, in that case, let's get started."
There are fixed rules for grading papers in the Academy. After entering the Academy, there are three rounds of exams. The first two rounds were fine, and the results were announced on the spot. Only the third round required grading.
Qi Feiyang is responsible for grading papers, and Qi Feiyang is responsible for convening the existing bachelors of the college, a total of ten people, called the "Ten Bachelors Grading".
The top ten bachelors can basically evaluate everyone's papers.
Because according to the rules, you only need to give an evaluation, but there is an unwritten rule. The evaluation result is above "A", whether it is "lower A", "A middle" or "Above". For any level, the test paper needs to be submitted to the great scholars for review.
The great scholars will basically not overturn the results of this evaluation, just to let the great scholars know that the academy has accepted those talented and qualified disciples this time, so that the great scholars can train them in the future.
However, there are no papers above "A" level yet.
What the great scholar meant was that the great scholars would help with the review anyway, so why not make a copy of the other papers and give them to the great scholars for further review.
"Article 36." Qi Feiyang imprinted an article again, and everyone continued to appreciate it.
"This article, in the form of a policy statement, describes the importance of reading, with thorough analysis, exquisite discussion, and great goodness. Moreover, the handwriting has an ancient charm, which is pleasing to the eye." A bachelor said at this time: "This article should be It’s Class A.”
Another bachelor then spoke: "It's just that the topic is too small. Although it is a first-class, it can be a lower class, so it is most suitable to be a first-class student."
Other academicians spoke one after another: "I second my opinion."
Qi Feiyang finally spoke: "My Majesty, I second my proposal."
"Chapter 37." Qi Feiyang continued.
"Chapter 38."
"..."
Soon, a total of fifty-five articles had been selected.
The strange thing is that there are a total of five pieces of content that received first-class results.
Four were graded below A and one was not graded.
It’s the thirty-fifth article that contains those four sentences.
But the thirty-fifth article is definitely at the first-class level, but the bachelors dare not make a specific evaluation.
The reason why I say it is strange is that it is consistent with the information they already know.
Five talents above 8, and five first-class articles.
This proves from all aspects that people with strong Confucian and Taoist talents are the best in everything they do.
These five articles, regardless of conception, calligraphy, and discussion, are much stronger than others. They are simply much better.
"If you have any other opinions, please mention them now. If not, these articles will be submitted to Great Scholar Zhao Zhe this time." Before sending the copy to Great Scholar Zhao Zhe, Qi Feiyang asked again.
All the bachelors shook their heads and expressed that they had no objections. Qi Feiyang directly pulled out the five articles one by one, folded them and put them away, anonymizing them throughout the process. Finally, he lightly tapped the test papers and said, "Report to Zhao Zhe." Reviewed by great scholars.”
The five articles on the desk disappeared in an instant.
At the same time, Daru Zhao Zhe lived.
Daru Zhao Zhe was closing his eyes to rest his mind. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
Then, five test papers appeared on Dr. Zhao Zhe's desk.
Zhao Zhe gently clicked on the five test papers, and the test papers floated instantly, waiting for Zhao Zhe's review.
In just a moment, Great Scholar Zhao Zhe finished reading the test papers, and finally his eyes rested on the last test paper.
"Huh?" Zhao Zhe frowned at first because the handwriting was really ugly.
But after overcoming the handwriting problem, Zhao Zhe was suddenly stunned.
He stared hard at the four lines of words on the test paper, suddenly fell into deep thought, and could not extricate himself for a long time.
After a while, the great scholar Zhao Zhe suddenly said: "All the great scholars in the academy, please come to my place and talk about it."
At this moment, all the great scholars in the academy, no matter what they were doing, came to the residence of great scholar Zhao Zhe.
Great Confucian Zhao Zhe would not summon other great Confucian scholars from the academy to meet each other for ordinary matters, but this gathering must be for important matters.
And Zhao Zhe, staring at those four sentences at this moment, suddenly sighed.
Why study?
This is a common question asked of scholars all over the world, why do you study?
Different people have different answers. Confucian Zhao Zhe was thinking about this question when he first started practicing Confucianism.
Is it to read the "Four Saints Classics", absorb talents, cultivate one's moral integrity, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world?
It seems too vague and lacks a strong support.
Is it to become a master of Confucianism and Taoism, to become a pillar of the great rift?
Some are too utilitarian.
This is not the first time Zhao Zhe has heard such answers from others, and he has even thought about them himself.
But Zhao Zhe didn't understand it. Even today, when he reached the level of a great scholar and was one of the top great scholars in the entire Dali world, Zhao Zhe still didn't understand it.
Other answers are too superficial, or the pattern is not grand enough.
But why do scholars study? Today he really found the answer.
…
At the same time, except for those who were traveling or fighting abroad, all the other great scholars from the academy came here.
There are more than a dozen great scholars here.
A great scholar said: "I wonder why Dr. Zhao called us here? Is there something big happening in the academy?"
Suddenly, all the great scholars looked at Zhao Zhe.
Great Scholar Zhao Zhe was in a trance for a moment, then pointed to the test paper on the desk and said, "Everyone, today is the Academy Exam. The results of the third level have come out. Please take a look first."
A great scholar then smiled slightly and said: "It must be a few papers that have obtained the first grade or above, but isn't it usually enough to just send us a copy? Why do we need to come to see it in person today? There is What an incredible article, or is there someone who got an A-rated rating??”
Several other great scholars also breathed a sigh of relief. They originally thought that something big had happened, so Great Scholar Zhao Zhe would personally summon them.
But I didn't expect that it would be reviewing exam papers.
Usually, for papers that are above Grade A, a copy is given to them for them to see. It is not like today that they need to come and see it in person.
Several great scholars casually picked up the papers and looked at them.
"The writing is quite satisfactory, not bad at all." A great scholar began to look through the papers, and then he smiled and said, "I think this year the academy has recruited a few more talented students."
"Yes, I heard that this time the Academy has recruited five students with talents above 8. This time, the Academy has to..."
Before the other scholar could finish speaking, the scholar who was looking through the paper suddenly interrupted the other scholar.
The scholar who was flipping through the paper began to blush, and the talents around him began to explode. Powerful and terrifying power surged out of him in an instant, causing the surrounding energy to change.
"Qian Daru, what happened??" Another great scholar noticed something was wrong and asked aloud.
"This..." That Qian Daru was holding the test paper in his hand, and his whole body began to tremble violently, "Which saint's words are these??"
"Words from a saint?" The other scholars looked at each other suspiciously, sensing that something was not right.
Several scholars immediately began to look through the papers.
After a while, all the great scholars present had their faces flushed, their bodies were shaking, and they were all nervous and speechless, breathing heavily.
As great scholars, they rarely lose their composure like this, but now, they all lost their composure.
Until, the great scholar Zhao Zhe spoke: "Everyone, Qi Feiyang sent a message saying that they don't know how to judge this article. They want to ask all the great scholars, including me, how to judge this article? ?”
Only then did several great scholars wake up from a dream.
Qian Daru looked at the four sentences on the test paper and lost his mind for a moment. After a long time, he said: "Who are we to judge these words of a saint?"
The other great scholars also nodded: "Second, we are not qualified to judge."
Not only did the great scholars feel that they were unworthy, but even the great Confucians felt that they were unworthy.
"This article seems to imply the charm of a saint. It should be sent to the great master of the Confucian Saint Palace!" A great Confucian expressed his opinion.
