In fact, except for Di Zhisun (who didn't have time to look around), all the candidates who took the exam today were shocked by the scene inside after entering Guanghua Building and the classroom:
The ground is as smooth as a mirror, making people feel as if they are in a dream; the windows made of large pieces of fine glass make the interior of the building as bright as day, no matter how it winds up and down; the spacious and bright classrooms are neat and tidy. The neat desks and chairs, the pure color and sharp-edged blackboards, everything gave all the students a better understanding of the luxury of Yanhuang Academy, and at the same time, their determination to get into Yanhuang Academy became stronger.
Wouldn't it be a great regret in life if I could not study in such a professional and high-end academy?
So after receiving the test papers, almost everyone started answering the questions very seriously.
The first question is quite satisfactory, "Dangdang, the people are incompetent; Weiwei, it has success, Huanhu, it has articles."
This sentence is taken from "The Analects of Confucius Taibo". It is a very famous passage in which Confucius praised Yao. The general idea is that Yao was so great that people could not find words to describe their praise for him, and his achievements were too outstanding. It was like the rays of the sun shining in all directions.
When answering questions, generally candidates only need to praise the great achievements of the ancient sages and sages, and then praise the civilized and martial virtues of the current sages, express their loyalty, say that they are determined to become the pillar of the country, share the worries of the king, etc., etc. To get a high score, it can be said that this is a relatively open question, and it is also a question with a very clear political stance. Li Gang's questions are indeed stable enough, at least Li Er will like it very much.
The second question: "Water, fire, metal, wood, earth, and grain are only cultivated."
This question is slightly more difficult than the first question. This sentence comes from "Shang Shu Dayu Mo". Coincidentally, Kong Yingda also explained this sentence: Water can irrigate, fire can cook, gold can cut, and wood can It can produce crops, soil can reproduce, and grain can nourish. Therefore, these six things are called Liufu, which are used by the nature of heaven and earth to nourish all living things.
As the saying goes, "Virtue lies in good governance, and government lies in nourishing the people." The virtue of a saint is reflected in handling government affairs well and arranging all the things such as "water, fire, metal, wood, earth, and grain". This is called "only cultivation" , people can live and work in peace and contentment.
As long as you express this meaning clearly and then excerpt a few classic quotations from Mencius about the way of kingship, your score will not be low.
The third question......
Unlike some examiners in the Qing Dynasty who tried their best to cut off some complete sentences or put together several irrelevant sentences to deliberately embarrass the candidates, this set of questions given by Li Gang and Yan Silu , generally speaking, it is a standard Confucian classics examination question that is smooth and progressive in difficulty. There is no treacherous and tyrannical person who deliberately makes things difficult for students in the questions, so most students feel very comfortable doing it.
But some people are exceptions~!
For example, Li Huairen, oh, no, Li Huairen is better. He can more or less tell the origin of individual sentences and then talk nonsense. But Cheng Chumo is a bastard who has no idea at all. There are twelve Confucian classics questions, and he can only answer one of them. He didn't even know where the source was, let alone know the meaning of the question, so after gritting his teeth for a while, he resolutely gave up the score for the Confucian Studies part and went directly to the next part of the question.
He is not the only one in a similar situation to him. Tiedan and Hu Guoran are all people who have never studied the Four Books and Five Classics. They are basically monks halfway and learned arithmetic directly. Therefore, they follow Cheng Chumo about the Four Books and Five Classics. Basically, they are at the same level. Fortunately, Confucian classics only accounts for 30% of the entire entrance exam. As long as they get high scores in other parts, they also have a great chance of passing the exam!
But other parts of the test questions are not simple, at least not as simple as they seem on the surface.
"In the moral test section, in all the following questions, there are no good or bad, right or wrong options. You only need to choose the option that is most consistent with your actual situation. Your answers are for testing and research purposes only, please rest assured answer."
"Eh~? What does this mean~? Could it be that this so-called moral test part is a score test for everyone? No matter what you choose, is it correct?"
Cheng Chumo was surprised when he saw this weird question. Normal people would have the same idea as him when they saw such a question. However, as a former student of the School of Mathematics, and as a person who has a very good understanding of Li Zexuan's character, Cheng Chumo, a good friend who knows him well, became smarter this time.
"That's not right! Judging from the style of these questions, only Xiaoxuan, a scammer, would pose like this. But if these questions really give points, then what's the point of Xiaoxuan asking this kind of questions? This guy must be lying. , you still want to trick me? No way! Each option must have a different score, I have to choose carefully! It just so happens that I don’t have to do those bullshit classics questions in front of me, so I have more time!”
It has to be said that at this critical moment, Cheng Chumo's accidental idea completely saved him. It can also be said that it was because of his previous study in the arithmetic school and his understanding of Li Zexuan's "urinary nature" that he was saved. . Because the so-called "no options are good or bad, right or wrong" is a huge trap dug by Li Zexuan for all candidates. It depends on how many people jump.
In fact, this kind of question often appears in various modern psychological tests, personality tests or market research questionnaires. If you really think that all options are neither good nor bad, right or wrong, then you can only choose It proves that your pattern is broken, and you may be judged as a lunatic.
In his previous life, when Li Zexuan was in college, he met such an innocent and lovely classmate. At that time, the school used to ask all students to fill out a psychological test paper. A student in their class saw the question and said that there was no right or wrong answer for each option. It only took one minute to hand in the paper. As a result, the school arranged for the child to receive psychological counseling for a semester because the teachers determined that the child had severe depression based on his test scores...
Except for Cheng Chumo, it can be said that the former students of the School of Mathematics were actually a little wary in their hearts after experiencing the torment of Li Zexuan's various cheating questions. After all, if you have been tricked by the same person many times, you will always have an understanding of that person's consistent tricks. So their reaction after seeing the question was almost the same as Cheng Chumo's, they both stopped at the cliff at the most critical moment.
Of course, the final test results also proved that it was precisely because they stepped back from the cliff at this critical moment that they separated themselves from other candidates on this part of the question.
