"...If you don't pass the question, answer it if you don't pass it. Those who have failed to pass it in the examination room please take note."
I don’t know whether it was because he was afraid that someone would miss the easy questions, or because he wanted to save more time for those who took the slightly more difficult questions, so the clerk announced the untested questions at the end.
When Sheng Yuan heard this, he immediately cleared his head of the topic he had just heard, stared at the draft with bright eyes, and prepared to write quickly.
After thinking about it, she first used her ears to quickly record it, and then looked at the card board to compare.
In short, she must not lose at the starting line, make a fist!
"Question 1: If three people are walking together, I must be my teacher. Can everyone be a teacher?"
Hearing this, Sheng Yuan's eyes lit up: "It's easy to remember!"
"The second question: If it is good, I will do it; if it is not good, I will change it. What is the explanation?!"
"Oh! This is easy to remember!" Sheng Yuan wrote the afterimage with the pen in his hand.
"The third question: Fu De did not teach Hu Ma to travel to Yin Mountain, but the word De Shan has five characters and six rhymes."
"Yeah! No problem at all!" Sheng Yuan felt as if these questions were imprinted in his mind, and he almost didn't need to check the card board.
Of course, she thought so, but out of caution, she still pulled her neck and took a closer look at the signboard held by the inspector.
"Fortunately, I'm in the front row!" Sheng Yuan lowered her head and sighed happily while drafting.
Although the exam time is three hours, which sounds like a lot of time, the time allocated to answer each question is less than two hours.
Two hours doesn't seem like a long time, but it takes a lot of time from analyzing the questions to arranging the answer structure, then designing the dictionary, and finally answering the questions on the draft, making additions and revisions, checking for errors and omissions, and problems with wording.
For example, the names of the previous emperors of Chu and their ancestors, as well as the names of her own elders, all need to be noted. If she needed to use a single character from these names, she would have to reduce the number of strokes to avoid orthographic characters.
Sheng Yuan had been nervous about this matter before. Although she knew she could do it well, she was still afraid of being dismissed accidentally.
Fortunately, she thought of a good idea later!
Well, she specially sorted out the words that needed to be carefully avoided, reduced all the strokes, and prepared to write them down on the draft in advance, so that when she checked the article, she could just proofread it.
Of course, candidates should take into account more than these when answering questions. When choosing words and making sentences, they should also pay attention to polysemy, polysemy and the homophony of words. Words that displease the person in charge, or are not auspicious enough, are not allowed to appear in the answer sheet.
It’s not that you will definitely be dismissed if these things happen, but it depends on the moral integrity of the marking officer. If you encounter a sycophant or an official who is timid and afraid of getting things done, your grades may be affected.
Therefore, the further back the candidate takes the test, the more careful they must be. When choosing words and sentences, they must pay attention to the situation at that time. No matter how reasonable their opinions on the test questions are, they must not conflict with the decrees that the superiors want to implement at that time, even if the superiors’ opinions are Not quite the right idea. Unless you just want to speak your mind and don't care about passing the exam.
Sheng Yuan felt that from the above point of view, she probably could not be regarded as a direct minister.
She can temporarily agree with the superiors to achieve her goals, or she can not mind joking with the female cad to implement the decree.
"Isn't it a little unethical?" Sheng Yuan thought to herself.
Of course, her thoughts passed by in a flash, and she quickly put them aside and concentrated on answering the paper.
The stem of the first question is very simple. It comes from "The Analects of Confucius: Shuer", "The Master said: When three people walk, they must have a teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."
While Sheng Yuan's mind was spinning rapidly, he picked up his pen and wrote: "[What is a teacher? A teacher is someone who teaches people the truth and demonstrates their own strengths and weaknesses to the world, so that others can change accordingly. This is also a teacher." "
This was considered a question. After she finished writing it neatly, she also wrote the source of the question: "[Zi said in "Shu Er"...]"
After dictating the original words in the Analects, the meaning of this sentence was briefly explained.
Then, Sheng Yuan thought for a moment and began to use both positive and negative examples to explain why everyone can be a teacher.
A good role model is a role model, and a bad role model is also a role model!
For example, if you see a thief being beaten, a normal person will learn a lesson and not become a thief.
Of course, if someone learns a lesson and strives to become a thief who does not get beaten, that is a personal matter. We cannot say that the counter-example of a beaten thief is wrong.
Sheng Yuan became more and more excited as she wrote and almost ran away, but luckily she reacted!
"Well, you can't write like this!" After Sheng Yuan paused with his pen, he underlined the redundant opinions with a black line, and then extended the previous argument.
Since people can learn from good people and bad people and change things, then if we think of a country as a human being, can we also learn a lot from other countries?
Do foreign countries, even if they are small and culturally backward, have something to learn from?
If so, then the question is, how can we strive to see more countries, find more role models, and improve ourselves by improving our own practices from countries we don’t understand?
Sheng Yuan wrote this, quickly deleting some redundant sentences, and after completing the "initiation", moved towards the "transition".
She naturally mentioned the other side of the sea.
If you want to make continuous progress, you must be inclusive; if you want to be inclusive, you must understand foreign countries.
If you want to understand foreign countries, you must expand your channels.
The best channel is naturally foreign trade and sea trade.
Speaking of which, from Yan to Chen to Chu, the three generations of imperial courts were all involved in maritime trade. The only difference was their enthusiasm and indifference.
This is the main reason why the treasury of the three dynasties never ran short.
However, the prosperity of maritime trade was only due to the prosperity of commerce. Da Chu mainly sold its own specialties to foreign countries, and then brought some valuables such as jewelry produced overseas to meet the needs of the powerful.
As for how many countries there are on the other side of the sea, and to what extent their culture, science and technology, and military have developed, few people pay much attention to it, let alone send envoys to establish relations between the courts.
And this is the main aspect mentioned by Sheng Yuan.
Of course, although she values this very much, she is very cautious when it comes to articles.
She reminded herself not to be too impassioned in her essay. It would be bad if she scared the examiner and made him think she was too radical.
Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan sighed and thought to herself, who didn't come from a generous boy? ! Why do candidates have to be mature and steady in their writing? !
Isn't it better to be young and energetic than to be depressed in old age? !
Of course, Sheng Yuan thought so in her heart, but she was not strong enough to express it directly.
Now she is knocking on the door to embark on an official career. No matter how many ambitions she has, she will not mention them for now, but will talk about them later.
Student Sheng Yuan, who has a lot of background in self-explanation, finally wrote this article completely.
After drying the draft, she carefully checked it one by one according to the precautions she had marked before. At the same time, she adjusted and modified incomplete and inaccurate sentences. Only after she was sure that there were no typos and no violations, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking up at the hourglass, she realized that it was only more than half an hour before the exam started. Answering the questions at this speed still left her plenty of time for copying.
Thinking of this, she immediately looked at the second question with satisfaction.
