Chapter 112: Volume B, morning dew, waiting for sunrise, there are rivers and lakes everywhere
Feng Ziying still doesn't know all this. All his thoughts are now filled with various test papers that Zhou Chaozong assigns to him every day.
It is easy to get started with Jingyi, but it is not easy to reach a profound level, especially for someone from a family like Feng Ziying who lacks cultural background, and it requires even more effort.
Looking at the thick stacks of Cheng Mo, Wei Mo, Fang Manuscripts, and running scripts in front of her, Feng Ziying knew that from the next step, Zhou Chaozong might have to start preparing for the Classics and Yi exam in a targeted manner.
It can be said that the eight-part essay examination since the Ming Dynasty is the most meaningless. At the beginning of the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, whether to follow the examination system of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty also caused great controversy.
There is no problem with the imperial examination. This is supported by scholars all over the world. However, if it does not follow the pattern of the Eight-Part Part Examination, it will be very controversial.
In the end, the Great Zhou Dynasty generally followed the Qianming model, except that the more complicated examinations were replaced by three different sessions. The first session tested the Four Books, the second session tested the Five Classics, and the third session tested Policy Theory.
Both the first and second sessions have to be written according to the eight-legged model, but the third session is not so restrictive and is more about examining the scholars’ cognitive understanding and analysis of the current situation.
During the reign of Emperor Yuanxi, the imperial examinations were reformed. First, the first and second sessions of the Spring Festival Competition were combined into one. Although the examination papers were still two volumes, they were combined into one, and the importance and weight of the policy analysis increased significantly.
Especially as the dispute over government affairs becomes increasingly fierce, policy theory has become an important indicator for ministers and local officials to read the direction of government affairs, and more and more people pay attention to the policy theory examination.
By the 29th year of Yuanxi, Qiuwei also began to follow the reform, and in the 35th year, customs were formally formed. From then on, both Qiuwei and Chunwei were changed to the integration of classics and meanings and separate examinations of policy and theory, and policy theory became very important. of sessions.
However, because the policy examination is more subjective, it is also easy to cause huge controversy. Some test papers were dismissed and failed, but in the eyes of some examiners or ministers, they were excellent, which also caused a lot of trouble.
Therefore, in the Autumn Wei Competition, the examination of combining classics and meanings still occupied a relatively important proportion, but in the Spring Wei Competition, the importance of policy theory had faint signs of surpassing the classics and meanings.
“Ziying, come quickly.”
As soon as Feng Ziying arrived and stretched, she heard shouts from outside the window.
Going to the window, I saw students discussing something in groups in the sunshine, and Zheng Chongjian was shouting something over there.
“Brother Dazhang, what’s the matter?”
Feng Ziying is very interested in the three so-called Shanxi Three Heroes. Needless to say, Chen Qiyu. The key is that among these three heroes, there is a famous figure, Sun Chuanting!
When he heard Sun Chuanting's name, he could hardly believe it. This was one of the few famous figures in his remaining memory of Ming history, and he was even more impressive than Zuo Liangyu.
Are we actually classmates with you now? ! In terms of age, he is only a few months older than him, and judging from his appearance, he seems to be much older than him.
Coupled with Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian who are comparable to Sun Chuanting, Feng Ziying naturally does not dare to underestimate them.
Who knows whether these two were famous figures in the history of the Ming Dynasty?
"Come on, Brother Mengzhang and Brother Keyao want to discuss it with you." Zheng Chongjian had already walked to the window and saw the scroll in Feng Ziying's hand. He couldn't help laughing: "Still studying the homework assigned to you by Zhou Jiaoyu? "
Everyone knows that Feng Ziying has a weak foundation in classics and meanings. Over the past month or so, Feng Ziying has gradually exposed her shortcomings in studying classics and meanings.
Although Feng Ziying is also working hard to catch up, and has special guidance from Zhou Chaozong, this cannot be made up overnight.
Feng Ziying’s special talents in political seminars have also made many people envious and jealous. Therefore, his shortcomings in economics and meaning have made everyone more balanced and easier to accept him.
Fan Jingwen, courtesy name Mengzhang, was from Hejian; He Fengsheng, courtesy name was Keyou, was from Jiangxia, one from the north and the other from the south. They were the leaders of Jiashe.
They are all in the age of 17 or 18. They have experienced one round of provincial examinations and are quite sure about the provincial examinations in the following year. They are even preparing to take the Ke Chunwei examination.
During this period, Feng Ziying was also in the limelight because her trip to Shandong was used as a teaching assignment. Even after the entire narrative interpretation manuscript was sent to Xiyuan, even the seniors at Xiyuan were shocked.
Although this is the crystallization of wisdom of the entire Dongyuan A and B houses, Feng Ziying's role in it is irreplaceable, so Feng Ziying also became famous in it.
A new student from Yishe, who was born as a disciple of Wu Xun, can become a famous figure in Qingtan Academy in just one month. Even if it is by chance, it will definitely make many people uncomfortable.
It’s easier to say that in House B, after all, we study and live in the same classroom every day, but there must be something special in House Jia.
"I'm not sure, but I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Zheng Chongjian also had a wry smile on his face. As a house, he is also the best in the entire East Garden. Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng can basically be the representatives. This is something even Guan Yingzhen recognized. .
"Oh? I didn't offend them." Feng Ziying also looked helpless.
He has successfully established his status in Yishe. Whether it is the Three Great Masters of Shanxi or the southern scholars in his dormitory like Fu Zonglong and Fang Youdu, they have all recognized him.
But it’s not that easy over there in Jiashe.
There is a four- to five-year age gap, and they don’t study in the same dormitory, so this sense of unfamiliarity is more likely to increase mutual hostility, especially when they see that they are so prominent and have won over the other side of the West Park. If you have blue eyes, it will be even worse.
“Let’s go, since we are fighting, we can’t avoid it. We have to meet to find out.” Zheng Chongjian’s temperament is different from the sharp-edged Chen Qiyu. He is a calm and measured character, and he considers things very carefully.
Feng Ziying is very interested in Sun Chuanting, one of the three heroes of Shanxi, because history books say that he is the only super hero who has the hope of saving the Ming Dynasty from fire and water, but has no impression of Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian.
It's just that Sun Chuanting is still just a young boy. Although he has shown some talents, he is far from compared with Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian, the two leaders of Yishe. Although he is one of the three heroes, But he has always denied it and refused to admit that he can be compared with Chen Qiyu and Zheng Chongjian.
“You can go as soon as you go.” Feng Ziying packed up her books and said calmly: “Brother Dazhang, are you going back to your hometown for spring break?”
Feng Ziying entered the academy after his twelfth birthday. More than a month passed in a flash, and he didn't even go home. Every ten-day holiday, he was caught by Zhou Chaozong and practiced hard, which made him miserable. , seeing that the weather was getting colder and the snow began to fall, he also felt that he needed to go home and take a look.
However, scholars from other places do not have such good conditions, especially those from the south. It takes a month or two to go back and forth. It is impossible to go back. Even during the spring break, they can only stay in the academy. However, these northern scholars can still go back during their spring break.
Zhou Chengming system, but also made changes. In the previous Ming Dynasty, the spring break was from the first to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and then from the eleventh to the twenty-first day of the Lunar New Year. During the reign of Emperor Yuanxi, the holiday was extended, that is, from the sixth day to the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. Putting this together, that means the official vacation can be from the first to the twenty-first day of the Lunar New Year, a full twenty-one days.
"If you don't go back, it will be freezing cold. It will take you more than ten days to come and go, and you will have to ask for leave." Zheng Chongjian shook his head and said with some envy: "That's good for you, you can go home as soon as you lift your legs. During the holidays, your classmates will have to harass you."
"Of course it's no problem." Feng Ziying responded happily: "I don't have many friends at home. As long as my classmates respect me, of course I'm welcome to visit my home. If you want to take advantage of the spring break, there are many places in and outside the capital city. There are places to go.”
There are many students from Shuntian Prefecture in the academy, but in terms of family background, there are probably not a few of them. Feng Ziying, who comes from noble families, is a special case in the academy. The students studied hard for a year and finally got an opportunity to relax. , naturally hope to have a good place to go.
This Feng Ziying's generosity is heartbreaking no matter what.
Zheng Chongjian was not like Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong who were both friendly and wary of Feng Ziying. He felt that Feng Ziying had a good character. Although she was born in a noble family, she was not arrogant and was honest with others. He couldn't choose his background. As a classmate, Zheng Chongjian felt great that he could do this.
He and Sun Chuanting have also discussed this point, and their views are relatively consistent.
