In the Tang Dynasty, "cannon" was added, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, "parallel" and "Zen" were added, which were equivalent to "scholar" and "elephant".

3. Junior high school classical Chinese answering skills Original Publishing House: images of ancient poetry
The study of classical Chinese should be "easy" in terms of difficulty. Generally, the following aspects are investigated: 1. Can correctly understand the meaning of classical Chinese words. 2. Be able to correctly translate classical Chinese sentences into modern Chinese. 3. Be able to understand and summarize the main contents of the article. 4. Be able to grasp the thoughts and feelings expressed by the author in the article and improve the taste of appreciation. Just recite the in-class part in a targeted way. Extracurricular problem-solving methods are as follows: four steps to solve problems in extracurricular reading of classical Chinese: reading classical Chinese in the senior high school entrance examination will inevitably get extracurricular language materials. What should I do if I have never read a paragraph or an article and have no reference books to look up? Many students feel helpless when answering such questions. According to my own teaching practice, I summarized four steps to solve problems for students' reference only. The first step is to browse the topic quickly. There is a characteristic in the extracurricular reading questions of classical Chinese: some topic options show the meaning of some keywords in the text, while others suggest the main content of classical Chinese. Browsing the topics helps students to understand the general meaning of classical Chinese. Therefore, after receiving the extracurricular classical Chinese reading essay, we should first quickly browse the topics after the essay. The second step is to analyze the topic carefully. Generally speaking, reading classical Chinese paragraphs after class will give you questions. Teachers should guide students to pay attention to and carefully analyze paragraph titles. Because most of the topics themselves summarize the main content of classical Chinese. For example, in an exam, I took an extracurricular reading essay in classical Chinese. The title of this subject-predicate structure summarizes the main content of the paragraph, and we can know the main content of the paragraph after reading the title. In short, a careful analysis of the title of a paragraph can help us quickly understand the main content of classical Chinese. The third step is to read the full-text extracurricular classical Chinese with notes, and generally annotate some difficult classical Chinese words. These notes help students to accurately understand the main idea of classical Chinese.

Ecotech Qi Huangong Alliance and Lvzhuanggong Alliance are Ecotech Alliance. Cao Gui, a doctor of the state of Lu, said to Duke Zhuang, "Qi invaded the state of Lu. As for the gate, the city is not good and the border is under pressure. Don't you want to cooperate?" Duke Zhuang said, "If I live but I don't die," Cao Gui said, "Only the monarch and the minister."
And will, two gentlemen on the altar, two phase. Cao Gui came in first with a sword in his hand and forced Huan Gong to the altar, saying, "The city is not good, and the border is under pressure.

First of all, it is difficult to get high marks in Chinese. It's not bad to get 105 from 120, but it's easy to get upper-middle grades. If you get 120, it's easy to get 90- 100.
Chinese is the best trick to teach you how to cheat classical Chinese. There is no way. You must accumulate it and remember it. If you don't learn classical Chinese well, you can probably translate what it says, regardless of grammar and motivation. You should know what this means. This is to cultivate interest. If you can't understand it and don't know its meaning, you won't be interested in it. Then slowly analyze those grammars and components. This is a slow process, and there will be no obvious improvement, but you must do it.
Generally speaking, you can look at the language first, then at the questions, and then watch it while doing it. This is a way for students who are not very good at Chinese and don't know much about reading (if you learn well, you can read it twice directly and then do the questions directly, which is very fast, so that even if you don't know much, you won't know nothing). Then the answer is skill (Chinese is not very good), the number of words must be enough, and the answer line of each question should be filled as much as possible. If the number of words is not enough, say a complicated sentence and then write it a little neatly. Then, most importantly, list the rules, what is 1, what is 2 and what can be listed. Teachers are usually like this. Many students with poor grades wrote a lot when answering questions. The teacher didn't want to read at all, so he just gave a word of comfort. Pay attention to good Chinese, and their answers are often very comfortable. They like to answer questions in sections. This is to tell the marking teacher that I am clear-headed, logical and reasonable, and give more points.
In the worst case, if you don't have much time to read, or if you don't have time to read the original text, don't waste this time, just scribble. When you did other reading questions before, you knew something about this reading, and then made it up to answer these questions on this basis. At this time, remember to write badly and scribble, so that the teacher can read badly. He doesn't know. If you write it again, you will get extra points. Chinese earns a penny. Don't underestimate it. Earn two more points in various places, and you will be a master of Chinese. The above is mainly aimed at your reading and classical Chinese, and other languages are nothing. There is no way to memorize and accumulate more reading. It is a way to cope with the exam. Don't do this at ordinary times. Usually read more books, buy books, then choose stories that you are interested in, like and find interesting, and stick to one every day, and your grades will naturally improve.
Then if you have nothing to do, just look at readers, Yilin, Youth Digest and so on. After watching the movie, think about its structure, its central idea, whether the movie is good or not, and what's good about it? Watching movies is not boring. It's good to combine Chinese with things you are interested in and learn Chinese again. As long as you are interested in reading stories, you will be interested in Chinese, and then you will be interested in everything about Chinese.
