Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

I started counting on the first day of May, talked two days apart, and endorsed one day, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival in no time. When Cui Xie got up in the morning, he still quietly touched out the colorful thread, tied it high on his left arm, his sleeve was rolled down to cover it and others could not see it. When it rains, throw it into the water. According to the custom, the sickness will go with the water.

He is not the kind of superstitious person. He didn't pay much attention to these customs when he was a real child in his previous life. It's just that the colored thread was given by others, and he was wearing his mind.

During the Dragon Boat Festival school, there is still no holiday. When he arrived, he asked people to take the dumplings according to the rules of Cui Senyi's time to give people away, and add some delicate Aihu to give a generous copy to the Xie family.

He carried a basket of rice dumplings by himself, with a sachet tied around his waist, and carried a schoolbag to the Imperial College. The prison also asked Zaifu to hang up dragons and tigers everywhere. The body was short and fat, supported by two small ears. It is the shape of mud tiger and cloth tiger in folk art. It is dyed all over the school and it is incense. There are fewer flies and insects flying around the school.

Cui Xie first put the dumpling basket in the fast, and then went to the lecture hall with the fast to listen to the students' lectures.

The second day of the second-year meeting was the "The Analects of Confucius: Advanced Eleventh" delivered by Jijiu Qiu Jun. The first chapter "Ziyue: Advanced in rituals and music, savages" coincided with the first of their quiz last month. The title of the four books is "advanced to ritual and music". The impression is a bit like that of the elementary and middle schools of later generations. After the exam, the teacher will repeat the text and knowledge points on the exam paper to consolidate the impression of the students.

Speaking of the second chapter, "Zi said: since I am in Chen and Cai, none of them can reach the door", he was finally drawn to the stage. After all these days and dozens of people's turn to repeat the lecture, it was finally his turn... and he was still out of luck.

Cui Xie walked to the stage and looked at the 600-plus black squares under the black squares, and the serious and deep faces of the teachers on the stage. He felt that he had come to Xiejiazhuangzi on the first day of the new year and had too much fun. I lost all my luck before I was drawn to the stage to make a report.

Fortunately, he remembered all his notes, and he also drew a mind map during the review, and rubbed the relevant information into an expandable place. If he talked more and more left and right, it could last three minutes, right?

He saluted the Jijiu, Siye, and the instructors on the stage, turned back to the sentient beings, and recited first: "Zi said: No one can reach the door since I am between Chen and Cai." After memorizing this passage, he continued. Confucius started with the story of Chen and Cai.

In "The Analects", the only thing that really touches Chen and Cai Zhi'e is "Wei Linggong asks Chen Yu Confucius". He first quoted the passage of Confucius's teaching of Zilu: "A gentleman is poor, and a poor man is too poor". In the sermon, "The saint should do what he does, and he has no worries", "hold his poverty", and "have nothing to complain about." "

After quoting the chapters and sentences, then quoting "Confucius' Jiayu". Although "Family Language" has been proved to be a forgery since the Song Dynasty, in "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", just after the "Nan Rong San Fu Bai Gui Zhang" after a chapter, there is a sentence "this matter sees the family language, it is self-explanatory", It can be seen that Zhu Xi's attitude is to acknowledge the historical data in the family language.

Zhu Zi is now a saint respected by scholars, so he naturally dares to use the Cui Xie he has used.

He then recounted the detailed dialogue between Confucius and Chen Cai in the volume of "The Twentieth in Ecuador" and his detailed dialogue on Zhaozilu:

After Confucius left Wei Linggong, he was invited to Chu State by King Chu Zhao. The doctors of Chen and Cai thought that Confucius was a sage. The soldiers rejected Confucius.

Confucius had no food for seven days without assistance, and all followers were sick. The disciples had shaken their faith in his "Dao", but he was still able to speak generously, and his music and music would never fade. The students were still asked to give lectures alone, asking if his way could not be used in the world, and why he was stuck here, and taught separately according to the answers of Zilu, Zigong, and Yan Hui.

This is the reason why Zilu asked Confucius in the chapter "Wei Linggong Asks Chen" "A gentleman is also poor".

After finishing talking about the original text of The Analects, it's time for the last chapter. Zhu Zizhang's sentence is similar to the explanation in the genre. They both say that the disciples who were trapped in Chen Caishi were not in the door at that time, and Confucius missed his feelings of adversity.

After this passage of Confucius' words, there are "ten philosophers" recorded by the disciples, that is, the ten Confucian disciples thought to be the best at the time: the representatives of the "virtue" subject are Yan Yuan, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu, and Zhonggong; "Zai me and Zi Gong, "political affairs" have Ranyou and Jilu, "literature" has Ziyou, Zixia.

In this paragraph, we must first clarify the relationship between the four subjects, and then explain the identity of the ten philosophers separately.

Cui Xie first memorized the chapters and sentences, and then quoted "Zhu Zi said that morality is the basis of behavior" in the "Four Books", "virtue is the matter of both internal and external to carry out all the substrates" and "the three are each one thing", explaining the four subjects Why act ethically first. Then according to the "Daquan" to explain why it is divided into three subjects: speech, politics, and literature: language refers to being good at rhetoric, politics refers to being good at adjudicating the king and governing the people, and literature refers to being familiar with poetry, literature, and music.

Confucius divided his disciples' specialties into these four disciplines, and taught them in accordance with their aptitude to make them achieve their own achievements. Ten philosophies are the best among these four disciplines.

Although everyone has misrepresented who these ten people are, they should be explained in detail in order to delay the time. Regardless of how boring his classmates listened, Cui Xie sincerely quoted the identities of these ten disciples and the words and deeds in line with their subjects from the "History of the Biography of Zhongni's Disciples".

After memorizing all of them, I will quote "Confucius Says: There are seventy people who are skilled in the industry" at the beginning of this volume, and quote the sentence in the chapter that Cheng Zi said, "The sage of the door is more than this." Zeng Zi preached Tao Zisi and Mencius and handed down the most orthodox Confucian orthodoxy. However, among the ten philosophers listed in this chapter, Zeng Zi is not a great preacher, so the words of Cheng Zi are cited in the chapter sentence and the four disciplines and ten philosophies are just The secular saying is not enough to adopt.

At this point, the chapters and sentences finally come to an end. If you insist, Xu Gan, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, said that Zeng Zi "should not be with You and Xia Lie in the four elements of the division of the four elements" in "Zhong Lun · Zhi Xing Pian", and then he said Zeng Zi again reported that Mencius, a sage above the "virtue" discipline, reversed Zeng Zi's virtue and talent, and forced a wave of face.

But the time he talked about here is not short, and setting up a target for self-striking doesn't make much sense, so he took advantage of the trend, turned around and saluted, and told the instructors that he was finished.

Qiu Jijiu smiled and nodded, and encouraged: "It's not timid, and the preparations for this lecture can be considered hard."

Fei Siye also said: "The explanation is quite detailed. I think the most rare thing is that he has such a calmness at his age. Ordinary students are a little stage fright the first time they give a lecture, and they have a good memorization. Maybe I can’t remember it anymore. He can still hold on to what he wants to say, quoting everywhere, and talking freely. I heard some words have unfinished meaning..."

He glanced at Cui Xie and asked, "Aren't you afraid of so many instructors and senior students here?"

Don't be afraid, mainly because I used to be various representatives, received national grants and scholarships, spoke a lot on stage, and got used to practice.

Cui Xie calmly said: "It is in front of the instructor and classmates that I am not afraid. If I am not wrong, I am not afraid to repeat the lecture. If I am wrong, then the instructor corrects me on the spot and I can immediately correct it. This is a good thing. Why should you be afraid?"

Qiu Jijiu smiled and said: "Yes, young people should have such energy. I remembered that I was full when I saw him, and I will call him up in the next chapter. It is fun for two young people to talk together."

Zaifu called Fei Hong up loudly.

Cui Xie walked down and met him in front of the stage, so he bowed his hand to him and gave him a sympathetic look. Fei Jieyuan didn't seem to suffer from taking the stage to give lectures. The short body returned to him and walked up to the stage full of energy to talk about the next chapter, "Zi said: Returning is not for me. Yu Wu said everything."

He speaks very naturally, his voice is wide and loud, he speaks a little bit faster, he appears quick to think, and he has richer scriptures in his chest. The few supervisors who went up later were not as good as he did. Cui Xie was a little slack in taking notes, only the citations, and the explanations added by the students themselves were skipped.

This day is passed in the lecture, and those who have been in class will not be drawn. Cui Xie calmly listened to the class for a long time, and only returned to the room at noon to share the basket of rice dumplings with his classmates. When he walked outside Chengyi Hall, he saw a few students huddled in the corridor, as if they were looking at something.

Could it be that the paper was posted?

Cui Xie remembered the tip Jieyuan he encountered while giving lectures, and was curious as to what he could write, so he squeezed up and looked at the paper on the wall from under the head.

The handwriting is all in the European style. It seems that it was transcribed by the instructor in the school. I can't tell who it is, and the name is hidden. He couldn't squeeze in, so he asked from behind, "Whose article is it, can you ask me to read it too?"

The person in front said without looking up: "Ou Shizhen's... don't squeeze, it is being copied here, and the copy will be copied later and everyone will copy it."

Some kindhearted people also replied: "Not only here, but all of them are posted outside the six halls. You can stay for three days. If you are not in a hurry, just wait and see or find someone to copy it. All the people who are crowded here have to be copied. If you leave again, you won't easily move away."

Since there are so many people posting, he is not in a hurry to ask for it. Anyway, you always have something in your hands. He has borrowed other people's notes so many times, and someone is definitely willing to borrow him to copy.

Cui Xie thanked him, but decided to go to the hall to get his dumplings. He walked forward along the corridor, and he heard someone saying "Sages are in rituals and music, telling what people do in the time, and express what they follow" without taking a few steps. The sound of praise faintly came to my ears, saying how appropriately broken this sentence is, and it is peaceful.

He also felt that the sentence was broken well, the start weather was good, and the place to be swayed in the back was wide, and he didn't know how to carry it. He stopped unconsciously, and wanted to listen to a few more words. Those people could only comment on the question. It was so easy that they were all about the comment. They started to recite the question, but there was one that was not very harmonious. 'S voice came in--

"This sentence is broken, although it is stable, but the three sentences break the title and lengthen the rhyme, and it is not strong enough. I read this "The sage tells the shortcomings of the time and the people are still literary, and shows the extreme in the use." ."

This sentence...this sentence was written by him!

How could his post be posted!

Why didn't he ran away just now? He insisted on staying here and listening to the papers!
