Chapter 79 County Exam Subjects
With the entry of the three examiners, everyone below became completely quiet.
The three examiners sat directly on the platform above. Li Bai originally thought that the magistrate would sit in his seat.
Unexpectedly, He Zhongliang was the one who sat in the middle.
But it’s normal to think about it. After all, He Zhongliang is the invigilator sent by the provincial college, and local officials can only be regarded as an auxiliary invigilator.
After taking a seat, He Zhongliang said loudly: "Dear candidates, the spring breeze is coming today in February, the sky is clear and the sun is shining."
"This is destined to be an opportunity for you to change your life trajectory, so I hope you cherish the opportunity for this county trial. It depends on whether you can be glorious in your life or return to your hometown and work hard to cultivate."
"So you must do your best and try your best to use your best strength to strive for better results in the exam, and welcome the arrival of the palace examination."
"Now it's officially entering the examination stage."
"All candidates are not allowed to speak from now on, and they are not allowed to whisper again. Anyone who sees whispering will be disqualified from the exam."
"The examination must be fair, open and fair. Any candidate can only rely on his own talents for the examination."
"Do not leave on the way to the exam, and you will be disqualified from the exam if you leave the exam room."
"Whenever you leave the position, cancel."
"Any time you whisper, cancel."
"Whenever the eyes convey the answer, cancel."
"Anything we think is cheating will be cancelled."
"Do you don't understand?"
No one started to speak, sat quietly below, waiting for the test paper to come down.
"Since everyone understands the rules of the exam, start to get the exam paper now."
"All test papers are the same, so there is no unfair treatment."
"Everyone must take the test papers seriously and write their test numbers clearly."
"The test number is vague, the test number is inconsistent, the test number is not clear, and there will be no results."
"Now start to get the test papers and start the exam."
Several officers began to take out hundreds of stacks of test papers from a sealed file bag, and these test papers were recorded in a unified manner.
The seal above is intact and does not exist. Who can know the content of the test paper in advance?
After Li Bai got the test paper, he roughly looked at the above test questions.
The above test questions belong to the second exam.
Before the second exam, they need to go through writing.
This writing admission list is relatively wide, and as long as the writing is smooth and the fonts are neat, almost everyone can be shortlisted.
The examiner of the question, He Zhongliang, would have someone posted it on the patrol sign, and the yamen runners were traveling in the examination hall, so that everyone could clearly see the question and need to write something.
Li Bai took out a piece of straw paper and wrote a few words on the paper to get familiar with it.
When he was enlightening the children in the village, he also practiced calligraphy, so the font he wrote was quite neat.
Although it is not as romantic as the calligraphy masters and their characters are proud, their characters are much better than most scholars.
On the high platform, the magistrate Zhao Fuyi looked at He Zhongliang who came down from the provincial college and asked with a smile: "Zhongliang, we took the exam together in the early years, and we will do the invigilator together today."
"Do you remember the writing subject matter that the examiner gave us at that time?"
He Zhongliang nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Of course I remember that the writing subject of our old examiner Wang Hanlin gave us was human filial piety."
"What are your plans today?"
"Then why not, let's reappear human filial piety and see how Confucianism now views filial piety?"
"I agree." County Magistrate Cai He nodded.
The county magistrate Zhao Fuyi did not refute, and said with a smile: "Zhongliang, just make a decision."
"Then write about the filial piety of a person, and the candidates can freely write it." He Zhongliang said, standing up and wrote four big words "Filial piety of a person" on the flat paper.
This is the question.
The first test of the county examination is mainly written.
/>The examiner gives questions and the candidates can write freely. As long as the writing is smooth and the font is neat, they can almost pass the first level.
Of course! After passing the first level, this is just the beginning, and the real highlight is in the second scene, filling in the blanks of the holy words of ancient sages.
For example, Confucius once sat somewhere and said something like this to a disciple, leaving a space on the way for the candidates to fill in the blanks.
This is related to whether the candidates read books carefully and carefully read them.
Li Bai looked at the words "Filial piety in human beings", and he began to ponder.
He slowly conceived his views on "the filial piety of human beings" in his mind, and then referred to the sages' understanding of filial piety, thereby attracting some of his senses of filial piety and finally forming his own understanding of filial piety.
The ancient imperial examinations tested the thoughts, culture, inheritance and the foundation of human beings.
These are the fine traditional virtues of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and Confucius' noble thoughts and morals are the classics.
However, the theory of evil nature mentioned by Xunzi will be much less highly praised.
While Li Bai was meditating, others had already started writing.
What they write is nothing more than simply respecting parents, filial piety to parents and other things.
Li Bai either didn't write it or wrote down his true understanding of "human filial piety", hoping that some of his own insights would be on the list.
If you are on the list, you will be posted, and you may invisibly educate more people to understand filial piety because of your own article.
Li Bai thought about it for about five minutes.
He Zhongliang, who was sitting on the high platform, saw that 98% of the people below had already begun to write his views on "the filial piety of human beings" on the blank paper, and he nodded secretly.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I suddenly saw Li Bai, with a slightly curious look.
Everyone else has started writing, why doesn’t he write?
Just when he was secretly confused, Li Bai started writing.
Li Bai held the pen with a serious posture and began to write "Filial piety for human beings" on the blank paper.
Fill in the test number on the horizontal grid of the paper.
Li Bai went straight to the topic.
"Xiaoyi, the moral norm of the Chinese nation for thousands of years."
"It is also a traditional virtue respected by the Chinese nation."
"The ancient emperor Shun was the first king to spread the culture of filial piety with the core of respect for parents."
"In the Zhou Dynasty, filial piety was the basic virtue of human beings."
"We have created the three principles of ultimate virtue, virtuousness and filial piety. We have learned filial piety and parents, and learned to respect virtuous people; learned to act according to the principles of our teachers and elders."
"It has completely become the core content of social moral education."
"Spring and Autumn, then strengthen ethics."
"There are six sutras in "The Left Turn": the king is righteous, the minister is righteous, the father is kind, the son is filial, the brother is loving, and the brother is respectful."
"Confucius Sheng inherited the ethical thoughts of Shang and Zhou dynasties and created a Confucian ethical system with benevolence as the core, emphasizing that a gentleman is the foundation of benevolence, and the foundation is established and the way is born, and filial piety and brotherhood are the foundation of benevolence."
"Meng Sheng demonstrated Confucius's thoughts, took human nature as the ethical basis, and created the use of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom"
"Also refers to: a heart of compassion, a heart of shame, a heart of reluctance, and a heart of right and wrong."
