Wu even sarcastically said by Mr. Ma Er: "Even if the master is now, he still has to study the article and do his job."
It was at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and if a person wanted to study, he needed to concentrate on avoiding risks in his mother's womb.
First of all, he must not be "her".
Siyu Deng mentioned in the History of Examination System in China: "The preference for boys over girls and the examination system have some influence." Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, under the influence of "women are virtuous without talent" and "women can't be politicians", ordinary women are neither encouraged to display their talents nor allowed to participate in the political life of the country, so they are easily excluded from the ranks. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is an exception. It advocates equality between men and women, abolishes women's foot-binding, establishes women's examinations, and selects Fu Shanxiang, the top female scholar. However, female examiners and Fu Shanxiang have long been martyred for "Heaven".
Fu shanxiang in film and television dramas.
Miss Lu in The Scholars fits the pattern of "unfortunately being a daughter" very well. Editor Lu regards his daughter as his son because he has no son. As it happens, Miss Lu is "gifted and has a good memory", and the article is "True Lao Wang, full of flowers". "dresser, embroidered bed, one by one. Every day, Huang Dan is rotten, and flies are fine. " Editor Lu often sighs: "If it is a son, dozens of scholar champions will win!" But even such a strange girl can only pin her hopes on her husband. Unexpectedly, on their wedding night, her husband had no intention of doing business. Miss Lu had to sigh: "Don't miss me all my life!" A word "wrong" expresses endless desire. Husband can't, so he has to pin his desire on his son, not afraid that he can't teach a champion to fight for breath.
Secondly, he must have no "foundation".
"Virtue is the virtue, four people are good, and slave prostitutes are the best." Registration for children's exams is "cheap", which means that people who are prostitutes, top students, soaps and slaves are not allowed to register. Even the redeemed slaves are the same. Unless they are released for three generations, let their descendants take the exam and become officials with the civilians. Similarly, it can't be similar to an egg farmer.
The egg farmers here are not businessmen selling eggs, but also called Miao people. They mainly live in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian, wandering all their lives and taking boats as their home.
Finally, don't be born in a poor family.
Gu pointed out in The Scholars Life of the Gentry in the South of the Yangtze River: "In The Scholars, the second time, Xue Jiji, a villager in the village, discussed and asked a gentleman to enlighten his children. Annual museum gold 12 Liang, deducted by Bank of Japan. The higher the reputation of the invited gentleman, the higher the cost. Gong Sheng's museum gold will be 50 to 60 taels (per year), which is 6 to 7 times that of Untitled Scholar.
Candidates also have to spend a certain amount of money to take the exam. There are three kinds of money that must be prepared: if you ask a student to vouch for his origin and character, you need to thank him; Examination paper fee; After taking the list, you need to pay the fees to the instructor and the students who guarantee his exam. Although the imperial examination system is a scholar-worker system in theory, and the four people are equal, in fact, it is not just knowledge that is tested. Ordinary people "want to make progress in exams there, but just read a few poems to break the customs."
Well, what a big plan. The hero is finally well-off, at least he is "handsome". "Handsome" is a reputation of civilians, but of course it is only "reputation". He can finally fold his arms and get ready to lift weights.
Beginners can learn a few simple words first, such as "Shang Adult, Kong Yiji, Hua 3,000, 70 years old, Er Xiaosheng, 89 years old, excellent worker, knowing courtesy." Then we are familiar with "the world is mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are full, and the days are endless." Then gradually transition to "learning from time to time", why not say so? Is it not delightful to have friends coming from distant quarters? Ignorance and dissatisfaction are not gentlemen? "
There are more than 430,000 words in the Four Books and Five Classics, not counting the repetition, and only those who recite it backwards can win. Of course, there are also so-called bookmakers. According to insiders, all kinds of bookstores in the market have set foot in pamphlets such as "Three Years Simulation of Five-year Imperial Examination" and "The Last Six Sets of Children's Examination" and sold them secretly. However, it is not known whether the solution of "universal formula" is effective.
In his book "Gentleman of China: A Study on His Role in China Society in the19th Century", Zhang Zhongli quoted the magazine "Sikkim Youku's Self-Report" to introduce Gu Zugu. "Zugu five years old ... literacy, reading is the beginning of a year. I finished reading the Analects of Confucius at the age of six. At the age of seven ... Mencius and the Book of Songs. At the age of eight, he was awarded the book Classics and Rites. When I was nine years old, I was awarded the Book of Changes and the Spring and Autumn Annals. I graduated at the age of ten When I was eleven ... I'll teach you ancient Chinese. When I was twelve years old, I was taught to collect poems, ancient prose, ci and plain text, and learn to write prose poems. When I was thirteen years old ... I was taught to do small and accurate questions, and I had to learn eight-part essays. " After he feels better about himself, he should take the fifteen-year-old boy test. In modern times when "happy education" is emphasized, I never think that children of the same age in Qing Dynasty study hard in Japan, and they are well-off children.
Then, if our hero has reached this level, we can't stop there. "Since the imperial examination, people can get the results quickly." Important positions in the world, such as Hanlin and Shi Yu, all emphasize lowercase letters. Scholars voted for their own interests, so they rely on calligraphy works to test. How many years will it take just to attend this day shift?
When the hero stands up straight, incarnates Kong Ming and sighs that "everything is ready, only the east wind is needed", you can't forget to confirm whether you are in mourning. That is, after my parents and grandparents died, I would mourn for one to three years. Of course, ordinary people will not be careless here, fearing that our hero is a "second-class", which is not good. China is famous for his filial piety. If you can be filial at home, you can be loyal to your country. An unfilial person can easily make people doubt whether he can be loyal to his country. If he loses his virtue, he can only load it into the file and start all over again.
grade papers
When everything is ready, you can apply for a child test. In essence, the children's examination is the entrance examination for state and county schools all over the country, and it is regarded as the national primary entrance qualification examination in Qing Dynasty. Twice every three years, divided into three stages, county examination, government examination and academy examination.
Children's first county exam is in February, and the date will be announced in 1 month. Candidates must remember to register in the ceremony room of the county yamen on time, fill in their names, ages, places of origin, parents, grandparents and great-grandparents' resumes, and bring the five students and county students' commitment letters to ensure that there is no body double, no loss, no body double, no pseudonym, no innocence, no prostitution, no sense of superiority, no soap, no official duties and no offspring. At this time, Lin Sheng is really willing to be a guarantor, and some even make a living from it. They can support their younger generation, get married well and earn money standing up. Why not?
Please note that the beard is the most deadly here.
Why should we pay attention to the beard? Because the age difference is not only the appearance, but also the beard. The Qing people did not attach importance to the crown ceremony, but the Jingning County Records during the Qianlong period emphasized the crown ceremony. "Do it tomorrow, it's wasted for a long time now." After all, it is necessary to tie the hair to crown the adults, and the coronation ceremony was basically ignored in the national ceremony system of the Qing court. However, the people still follow the system of the Ming Dynasty. "All people can be crowned at the age of fifteen to twenty." There is a big difference between uncrowned and crowned. If the crowned old students come to register, they will be made difficult by the examiner without exception. Miyazaki Hayao said in his book "Imperial Examination" that there will be a difference between a topic that has not been crowned and a topic that has been crowned. The question of not being crowned is simple, but the coronation is slightly difficult. After all, the vitality of young people is not comparable to that of old people, and their future achievements should not be underestimated. So there are old girls in old boys who shave with knives, pretend to be uncrowned teenagers, and pretend to be in their teens and twenties, trying to beat people with trumpets to break through the "novice difficulty".
Simulated examination room
Please remember to get up early on exam day. The first shot at three or four o'clock is to urge the candidates not to miss the time. Don't forget to check the equipment when you enter the examination room. Don't leave the polished inkstone of Wenquxing and the writing brush with the words "Blessing Confucius Temple" at the back. The ink is better. Although it is not as good as the requirement of pencil color in modern computer examination, it is at least eye-catching. Some performances need to be "poetic". The guy who eats can't forget it.
After three shots, the left and right doors of the "test shed" are opened and candidates can enter.
Stepping into the examination room does not mean safety, but it may be more dangerous. The protagonist of "newborn calf" must be more careful.
The First Edition of My Learning Record records that "anyone who does not conform to the rules and is not familiar with the forbidden rules in the test paper will be punished by stopping the three subjects if he encounters such practical things as" sacred altar, suburban altar, ancestral temple, emperor and Lord ",or if he does not write it, or scribbles, and does not avoid the taboos of temples, imperial names and Confucius. Those who attack the whole article are similar, those who look up and smear, those who rewrite the jumper off topic, those who add the number of alterations, and those who add suspicious traces will be punished for stopping two subjects. "
When it comes to the face of heaven, the consequences may not be as simple as those mentioned above.

Suppose the protagonist is very cautious, even if he rolls and crawls to avoid the trap of style, he still needs to avoid the unreliable examiner.
Eight-part essay questions must come from four books and five classics, and all the questions that can be written for more than 400 years have been done. The Qing government also clearly stipulated that it was forbidden to "read the questions that are often drawn up". It is conceivable that the examiners invented the so-called "cut-off questions", "comprehensive questions", "comprehensive questions" and "embarrassing questions", which mostly separated the original work and made no sense. For example, in The Doctrine of the Mean, there is a saying that "today's mountains are full of stones, vast and lush." During the Jiaqing period, Bao Guixing, a scholar from Henan Province, took "Its Broad Grass" as the topic. It is also useful to use the circle on "Zi Yue" in the Analects of Confucius and other books, or to use "Yi Yi" as a question, and three auxiliary words overlap only once in the Analects of Confucius.
Seeing this, the hero broke out in a cold sweat and muttered to himself, "It is so difficult to raise the threshold. I wonder what the pass rate is? "
