The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"...Untitled questions, answered by those who have not won the championship, and those who have not won the championship in the examination room, please remember."

I don't know whether it is because they are afraid that someone will miss the simple questions, or because they want to save more time for the slightly more difficult respondents, the clerk announced the untitled questions at the end.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan immediately cleared the topic in his head, stared at the draft with piercing eyes, and prepared to write quickly.

She thought it over, and first recorded it quickly with her ears, and then looked at the board for comparison.

In short, she must not lose at the starting line, make a fist!

"Question [-]: If three people walk together, there 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: what is good, I will do it; what is not good, I will change it. How to explain it?!"

"Oh! This one is easy to remember too!" Sheng Yuan wrote afterimages with the pen in his hand.

"The third question: Fu does not teach Huma Duyin Mountain, and the five characters and six rhymes of the mountain characters."

"Yeah! No problem at all!" Sheng Yuan felt that these questions seemed to be printed in his mind, and he almost didn't need to check the board.

Of course, she thought so, but out of caution, she still scratched her neck and looked carefully at the board held by the inspector.

"Fortunately, it's in the first row!" Sheng Yuan lowered his head and sighed happily while typing the draft.

Although the exam time of three hours sounds like plenty, but the answer time for each question is less than two hours.

Two hours does not seem to be a small amount, but it takes a lot of time from analyzing the questions to arranging the structure of the answers, to designing the dictionary, and finally answering the questions on the draft, supplementing and revising, checking for errors and omissions, and problems with word usage.

For example, the names of the emperors of the Great Chu Dynasty and their ancestors, as well as the names of her own parents and elders, all need to be paid attention to.If a single character in these names needs to be used, she has to reduce the strokes to avoid the orthographic characters.

Sheng Yuan was quite nervous about this matter before, even though she knew she could do it well, she was still afraid that she would be dismissed if she was not careful.

Fortunately, she thought of a good way later!
Well, she specially sorted out the words that need to be carefully avoided, reduced all the strokes, and prepared to write them down on the draft in advance, so that when the article is checked, she can 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 words, polysemy words, and the homophony of words.Words that dislike the superiors or are not auspicious should not appear in the answer sheet.

It's not that they will definitely be dismissed if these things happen, but it depends on the moral integrity of the examiner. If you meet a villain who is flattering or a timid official who is afraid of doing things, I am afraid that the grades will be affected.

Therefore, candidates should be more careful the later they take the test, and pay attention to the situation at that time when choosing words and sentences. Not quite the right idea.Unless you just want to express your feelings directly, and don't care whether you can pass the exam.

Sheng Yuan felt that, judging from the above points, she might not be able to be a direct minister.

She can temporarily agree with the superior to achieve her goals, or she can not mind joking with treacherous sycophants in order to implement administrative orders.

"Is it a little immoral?" Sheng Yuan introspected.

Of course, her thought was fleeting, and she quickly put it aside and concentrated on answering the paper.

The stem of the first question is very simple. It comes from the "Analects of Confucius Shuer", "Zi said: Three people must have my teacher. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."

While Sheng Yuan's mind was spinning rapidly, he took up a pen and wrote: "[What is a teacher? A person who preaches and teaches is a teacher. He demonstrates his own strengths and weaknesses to the world, so that people can change them, and he is also a teacher.] "

This is a bit of a question, and after she finished writing it neatly, she also wrote down the source of the question: "[Zi said in "Shu Er"...]"

After dictating the original words in the Analects of Confucius, I briefly explain the meaning of this sentence.

Afterwards, Sheng Yuan thought for a while, and began to explain why everyone can be a teacher with positive and negative examples.

A good example is an example, and a bad example is also an example!
For example, if you see a thief being beaten, a normal person will learn the lesson and not be a thief.

Of course, if someone learns the lesson and strives to become a thief who does not get beaten, that is a personal matter, and it cannot be said that the counter-example of a beaten thief is wrong.

The more Sheng Yuan wrote, the more excited she became, and she almost ran away, but luckily she came to her senses!

"Well, you can't write like this!" Sheng Yuan paused with the tip of his pen, underlined the redundant opinion with a black line, and then extended the previous argument.

Since people can learn from good people and bad people, can they learn a lot from other countries?
Even if the foreign countries are small in size and backward in culture, do they still have something to learn from?

If so, then here comes the question, how to try to see more countries, find more role models, and improve ourselves from countries we don’t know or know?
Sheng Yuan wrote here, and quickly deleted some redundant sentences, and after completing the "initial inheritance", he moved towards the "transition".

She naturally mentioned the opposite 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 channels.

The best channel is naturally foreign trade and sea trade.

Speaking of it, from Yan to Chen to Chu, three generations of imperial courts have banned maritime trade, the only difference is their enthusiasm and slow treatment.

This is the main reason why the treasury of the three dynasties has never been short.

However, the prosperity of sea trade is just the prosperity of commerce. Dachu mainly sells its special products to distant countries, and then brings some valuables such as jewelry rich in overseas to meet the needs of the powerful.

As for how many countries there are on the other side of the sea, and how far their culture, technology, and military have developed, few people value them, let alone send envoys to establish diplomatic relations with each other.

And this is the main aspect mentioned by Sheng Yuan.

Of course, although she attached great importance to these things, she was very cautious when it came to articles.

She reminded herself not to be too generous in her composition. It would be bad if it frightened the examiner and made the examiner feel that she was too aggressive.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan sighed, and said to himself, who didn't come from a generous boy? !Why do candidates have to be mature and prudent? !
Wouldn't it be better to be young than to be depressed? !
Of course, Sheng Yuan thought so in his heart, but he didn't have the guts to express it directly.

Now she knocks on the door to embark on an official career, no matter how many ambitions she has, she will not mention it for the time being, and she will talk about it later.

Sheng Yuan, who has come and gone with self-explaining, finally wrote this article completely.

Drying the draft, she carefully checked each of the precautions that had been marked before, and adjusted and revised the incomplete and inaccurate sentences by the way. She did not breathe a sigh of relief until she was sure that there were no typos and no violations.

Looking up at the hourglass, she found that it was only half an hour before the start of the exam. Answering the questions at this speed left her plenty of time for copying.

Thinking of this, she immediately looked at the second question with satisfaction.
