Chapter 824 Luoyang Imperial Examination (1)(3/3)
The food was not good, and Yuan Shao was gu again while eating, and Cao Cao smiled and said nothing.
After the meal, just when Cao Cao thought that the exam was finally started, the Yulin scholars lined up, next to the people, holding bamboo slices in their hands and sent one by one, and didn't know what they sent.
When it was posted to Cao Cao, Cao Cao picked it up and looked at it. The bamboo piece said, "Luxury 6012". Cao Cao could understand the words on the bamboo piece, but he didn't understand it.
Just then, there was a noise.
"The Lord is here!" the eunuch shouted sharply.
The Yulins beside him looked around and saw the direction of the saint coming, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground without thinking.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also knelt down quickly.
There were some dull people in the team. These dull people also reacted under the whisper of the Yulins and knelt down in time. After a moment, the crowd fell to the ground.
The Spirit Emperor is here. Before the exam begins, the Spirit Emperor comes here. Before the Spirit Emperor comes to the team, he encourages the scholars, "Everyone should be careful and I will be on the hall and wait for the outstanding ones to come out!"
Emperor Ling showed up and then left. The presence of Emperor Ling excited many candidates, and the atmosphere in the examination room became warmer.
The exam finally started.
The huge imperial military academy site is divided into two parts, one is the examination room, and the other is the place where people are waiting to be tested. The people who are waiting to be tested are arranged in the corner, and people are lined up, standing in a crowded manner.
In the examination room, the huge school yard was divided into small pieces, and each examination room was neatly placed with many seats. Before each examination room, there was a large wooden board, and I don’t know what the purpose was.
Another gong sounded, and under the leadership of the Yulinshi, teams of people left the queue and walked towards the examination room.
The people who walked towards the examination room were nervous and excited. Those who had not left were left behind, stretched their heads to look. Before the chaos began, the Yulin Shi, who was in charge, shouted loudly and stopped everyone.
"Who dares to walk around! My sword is a killer!" The Yu Linshi stared at the people in the queue fiercely.
When he shouted, many people were startled, and Cao Cao was also shocked.
Cao Cao did not take the imperial examination seriously anymore, but he was curious. He could not see the people in front of him, and he was so impatient.
The entire school yard is divided into four major blocks, east, west, south, north, and each block is divided into ten areas, including A, B, B, D, Wu, and Ji. Each area is a test room, and there are twenty seats in each test room.
There are 800 candidates in this entire examination room who can play at the same time.
The first batch of 800 people entered the venue based on the numbers compiled earlier.
After the first group of people entered the venue, Liu Bei was worried and went to the scene to check it out. This inspection lasted for a long time.
When ensuring that everyone is in his position, Liu Bei ordered the examination to begin.
As soon as the exam was started, a soldier came to him with a thick stack of cut cloth, and began to send a strip of cloth that was three feet wide and five feet long from front to back.
In front of each examination room, the Yulinshi, who was in charge of invigilating the examination, spread out a piece of white silk from his arms, and hung it onto the wooden board.
The scholars looked over and saw that the wooden board was very large, the white silk was also very large, and the characters were written on the white silk were also very neat and clear.
The invigilator Yu Lin was waiting quietly, looking forward from time to time, as if waiting for something.
After a moment, the gong sounded "Clang!" and the signal of the formal start of the exam arrived.
In an examination room, after receiving the signal from the invigilator, Yu Linshi glanced at the twenty people below, "It all seems!" He pointed to the white silk on the wooden board beside him, and pointed to the words in the upper right corner, "Look at this corner, have you seen clearly here? The above, [Source], if you have time behind, write where you are, and behind [State], write which state, county, county, township, village, and so on."
"After, [subject], write whatever surname, [name], write what name, [character], write if there is any, and don't write if there is nothing..."
After the exam started, at the beginning, the invigilators carefully explained the basic matters of the exam. Then, the candidates wrote information such as hometown names in the corners of the cloth as required, according to the requirements, and in the format of the five-foot-long cloth sent, and a problem occurred at the beginning.
Some candidates asked them to write, but they looked embarrassed.
Liu Bei traveled around Luoyang City and recruited too many people to take the exam. Liu Bei's appeal was too strong, and many illiterate people also joined in.
When Liu Bei was leaving for inspection, he turned to someone. The candidate looked like a poor child with a worn-out clothes and dark face. Liu Bei walked up to him, and the candidate looked puzzled and wanted to stand up.
Liu Bei held it quietly, and he asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
The candidate's face turned red, "I, I can't write..."
Liu Bei did not despise him at all. He asked warmly, "Can you write a name?"
The candidate was even more embarrassed, and he couldn't even write his own name.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Then draw a circle."
The candidate clumsily picked up the brush and drew a circle in the corner of the test paper. After drawing, he looked up at Liu Bei, "Can I leave?"
Liu Bei patted the candidate's shoulder and smiled and said secretly, "Don't leave, I'll take care of the meal these days, how many days aren't good to eat here? There's still meat."
The candidate who was originally uneasy was relieved by Liu Bei's comfort. He held his arms leisurely, sat and watched others busy, and waited for the exam to eat and eat meat.
Liu Bei is also kind-hearted and takes good care of poor children.
For those who are literate, the exam has officially begun.
On the wooden board in front, there are lines of words written on the white silk, and there is a vacancy between the words.
During the invigilator's lecture, the candidates understand that these are questions called [Fill in the blanks and dictation], and they need to write down the missing content and mark the question number.
A scholar looked up at the first question and saw that the white silk said, "Zi said, "Three people walk, _____"" and there was an empty sentence afterwards.
The scholar immediately laughed, who can't answer this? He can recite it at the age of three and write it at the age of four.
The scholar wrote down the answer with full confidence.
Liu Bei had enough experience in presiding the imperial examination. When summarizing the imperial examination in Julu, everyone discussed that the examination was to obtain talents, and an important consideration was to subdivide the talent level so that talents of different degrees could be clearly distinguished.
If you just ask questions and try hard, then only the top talents can answer them. If ordinary talents and unlearned people cannot answer them, it will be difficult to distinguish ordinary talents.
Therefore, considering this, it is crucial to consider that the test questions are easy to moderately difficult and progressively progressively.
But if the difficulty progresses layer by layer, you will get a prophet. What is easy and what is difficult?
The Confucianism of the Han Dynasty was prosperous. If an ordinary person had read books, then the probability was that he would read Confucian classics. If a person had only read a Confucian classic, he would definitely read the Analects of Confucius.
From this we know that people who know literacy in the Chinese language generally know the Analects of Confucius.
Therefore, as a volume of [Qingcao] that examines the quantity of literacy and text, the simplest and most difficult topic is to examine the Analects of Confucius and the most famous Ming verses among the Analects of Confucius.
There are more than a dozen similar questions.
Then, we began to examine the less famous sentences in the Analects of Confucius.
Increasing further, we began to examine [Mencius] and [Xunzi] these are also Confucian classics, but not as well-known as the Analects of Confucius. This is the third difficulty.
At this third difficulty, many literate candidates have scratched their heads, and many literate people have read only one classic, the Analects of Confucius. Many of these people are the lowest scholars among the people at the bottom.
At this point, until the beginning of Confucian classics other than the Analects of Confucius, the literacy candidates began to be divided into layers.
After sixty test questions, later, other classics of the pre-Qin philosophers except Confucianism began, such as [Laozi] [Zhuangzi] [Han Feizi] [Lushi Chunqiu] [Mozi], etc.
Although the famous quotes among the pre-Qin classics are popular, a considerable number of people cannot answer them.
This is just the difficulty in the middle.
Later, I will advance to take the exam for other less famous sentences in the pre-Qin classics. At this point, it will be difficult to answer unless I am a person who can memorize the scriptures well.
This is just a part of the examination. The most basic test questions have already stumped countless people in the examination room.
Liu Bei's examination ideas come from Julu's scientific examinations, Julu's scientific examinations, and military advisor Li Mengxi. As a later generation, Li Mengxi valued practicality and speculation. Therefore, a large part of Julu's imperial examinations involve practicality and speculation, which has affected Liu Bei. Now, in this imperial examination in Luoyang School, Liu Bei also gave practical and speculation questions.
When those more powerful scholars in the examination room answered all the basic text questions, the second part shows that the white silk is written on it, the format of the document, the general types, such as letters, letters, letters, official notices, etc.
Without this [example], Haoduozi couldn't understand what it means. With this example, the question will be very clear.
Questions and documents formats. Only those who are proficient in practice can be proficient in sufficient documents formats, while those scholars who are not proficient in practice can at most write one or two letters and respects.
The ability of the examiner was thus distinguished.
