Sheng Yuan looked at the female police officer who was looking at her with straight eyes and wanted to scratch her head.
Since noise was prohibited in the examination room, she could only swallow her anger and silently greet those students who were trying their best to cheat.
If they hadn't kept upgrading cheating methods, how could they have forced the officials in the Ministry of Etiquette to come up with the method of "one-on-one guarding"? !
There are too many students causing trouble, and there are not enough clever methods. We can only use stupid methods to prevent fraud. Although this method is not very friendly to candidates, it is done to ensure the fairness of examination results and protect the interests of most candidates, so even if they feel uncomfortable, it is not easy for candidates to complain.
Sheng Yuan was very suspicious of the re-construction of Gongyuan. A large part of the reason was that the previous site was too small to accommodate the troops guarding the candidates.
Of course, even though she felt dissatisfied, Sheng Yuan still tried to divert her attention away from the invigilator.
The purpose of these sergeants is to prevent communication between candidates, and between candidates and non-examination personnel in the examination room, such as mouth shape demonstrations, body expressions, and note passing.
In other words, these soldiers will not leave until the writing is stopped. It is unrealistic to expect them to disappear from our eyes. We must find ways to adapt to their existence.
After sorting out her mood a little, Sheng Yuan finally focused all her attention on the test paper.
After carefully analyzing the test questions, Sheng Yuan quickly planned the order of answering the questions. Obviously, it was unwise to write the exam rhythm poem at this time.
Although writing poetry in the examination room is not like writing poetry in ordinary times, it is based on inspiration.
But when answering questions and composing poems in the examination room, you can still "don't have enough inspiration, just make up for it with emotions."
It's just that at this moment, Sheng Yuan was a little unsettled due to the fact that the army was sent to invigilate the exam face to face. Writing poetry at this time might affect the performance of his craftsmanship. If you don't answer the meaning questions first, you may not be able to get inspiration midway through the exam.
When it comes to meaning questions, the structure of the rural examination answer sheet is somewhat inclined to the eight-legged format.
Of course, although the Eight-legged Eight-legged essay style is on the rise in the Dachu Art Answering Questions, people at that time were not very good at it. The Ministry of Rites also had intense discussions on whether the Eight-legged essay format should be the main answer format.
Opponents often say that such stylistic formats can easily imprison the candidates' aura, and can easily evolve into a situation where the format is the main focus and the content is irrelevant, which is not conducive to the selection and appointment of talents by the court.
The supporters actually do not object to the opponents' view, and the reason why they support it is mainly to make it easier for the examiners to evaluate good articles, so as to prevent candidates from writing "the article is good, but the examiner is dizzy after reading it" "Case.
The reason why the examiner is dizzy here is purely to protect his face. What’s more, many examiners may not necessarily have very high literary accomplishments. Sometimes after an exam, there will be an entire article with countless uncommon words, and the whole text will be read with confusion. There are so many embarrassing articles, which will test the examiner's mentality and emotions.
He was obviously too dizzy to read the so-called article, but because of the "re-examination" system, the examiner did not dare to dismiss him easily. After all, who can guarantee that the exam paper you rejected will not be taken advantage of by other examiners or the chief examiner? At that time, whoever is not good enough will be embarrassed!
It is a small thing to lose face, but it is a big thing to lose one's future. It would not be good if the Shangguan or the Emperor had the impression of being "unable to bear the heavy responsibility" due to "unexpected consequences".
Therefore, as an examiner, I really like the format of articles like stereotypes.
Sheng Yuan looked at the three Four Books test questions in front of him, one of which was required to be completed in the eight-legged format, and couldn't help but sigh.
I guess these ministers who support the stereotyped essay don’t know that when stereotyped writing develops to a certain extent, it can make the examiner dizzy and confused, right? !
Of course, sighing is a sigh, and you still have to answer the question.
Although Sheng Yuan rarely uses this format, she still knows the basic structural pattern.
Especially when they were in Luo'an, Mr. Jiang Wuhuang, whom her eldest brother hired, gave a special lecture on eight-part essays to the three of them.
"Well, very good, I'll choose you!"
Sheng Yuan planned to capture this eight-part essay on the first day.
The reason is just that the eight-part essay has the smallest number of words.
Speaking of the word count of eight-legged essay, it has actually changed. In the Qianchen period, each article was required to be no more than 500. Later, due to the loud voice that "the meaning of the words cannot be fully expressed due to the limit of the number of words", it was adjusted during the reign of Emperor Chengyuan of the Great Chu Dynasty. The number of words in each article is no more than 600.
Today, the word count of eight-legged essays has risen to only 650 words per article.
It is said that some Confucian ministers hope to allow fifty more.
