The Gongyuan was the original Imperial College. Due to the rise of the Imperial College, the Imperial College has declined and has basically become an imperial examination room.

It is very large inside, and thousands of people take the exam here. Although the grid is a little smaller, it is staggered and demonstrates superb organizational skills.

Ouyang Bian couldn't help but admire that this is the strength of the civil and bureaucratic system, at least it is passed in organizational skills, especially when the superiors attach importance to it.

The imperial examination is a major event for the country and a grand ceremony for selecting talents. It is not an exaggeration to pay attention to it.

Ouyang Bian sat in his cubicle, and the candidates passing by couldn't help but look surprised.

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were divided into three levels: provincial examinations and palace examinations. As the first level of the provincial examination, it is normal for young candidates to appear. The number of scientific examinations is not limited. Some people want to let children go to the provincial examination to accumulate experience, so it is quite common for children to pass the provincial examination, but it is not easy to pass it.

When you reach the provincial examination level, the chance of a child appearing is very small. Generally, young people are at the age of sixteen or seventeen. It is rare for young people like Ouyang Bian who look only eleven or twelve years old. No wonder other candidates can't help but look surprised when they see it.

Ouyang Bian still met a few acquaintances, such as Zhang Heng, Lu Huiqing and others. He had met these people and had visited him before. Ouyang Bian also invited them back several times.

Because the inspection was very meticulous, it was only completed at noon. Most of the first day was spent on it. In the afternoon, the chief examiner Wang Gui and the examiners came to patrol the examination room.

In addition to Wang Gui, there were also Fan Zhen, Mei Yaochen, Han Jiang, Mei Zhi and others.

Ouyang Bian all knew these people. Fan Zhen and Mei Yaochen were all acquaintances, Wang Gui, Han Jiang and Mei Zhizai had a relationship. When they saw Ouyang Bian, they did not express anything, and they just walked by blindly.

Ouyang Bian did not show any warmth or other expressions, so he was to avoid suspicion.

After the examiner reviewed it, he finally started to hand out the papers.

The content of the exam at this time is poetry, classical meaning and policy theory.

Later generations often say that articles are natural and can be obtained by skillful hands, but in fact, with the Chinese people's habit of being good at exams, as long as they become exams, they will summarize the rules of the exams for you, even poetry that seems to rely on talent.

The poetry examination for the imperial examination began in the era of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

The poems and essays examined in the poetry and essay exam are mostly regular essays and essays, which have already been quartated.

Rhythmization means programmatic, and regular things can be studied.

Therefore, works on studying poetry and essay syntax, sound and rhyme, and disease, and dualism emerged, constantly pushing the stylization to a higher level.

Therefore, there are many poetry and essay test materials on the market.

For example, Wang Changling's "Poetry Pattern", "The Secret Implications in Poetry", "The Golden Needle Poetry Pattern" by Bai Juyi, "Wenyuan Poetry Pattern", and Li Hongxuan's "The New Defined Poetry Pattern" by Zheng Gu, Wang Wei's "The Kaiyuan Poetry Pattern" by Xu Yinqin, Wang Qi's "The Great Middle New Poetry Pattern", Xu Wengui's "Poetry Sample", Yao He's "Poetry Sample", Ren Bo's "The Secret Art of Poetry Inspiration", Zheng Gu's "The National Style and the Right Essay", and Anonymous' "Song of Songs", "Poetry Folk", etc.

Don’t think that the above is all, because those are reference materials for exams in the late Tang Dynasty, and those from the Song Dynasty also have reference materials for developing their own, and the pattern is more complicated and trivial.

There are also many monographs studying fugue in the Tang and Five Dynasties, such as Hao Xuzhou's "Fumen", He Yuyu's "Fugue", Fan Chuanzheng's "Fujue", Zhang Zhongsu's "Fu Shu", Bai Xingjian's "Fu Yao", He Ning's "Fu Ge", etc.

Like the study of poetry and rules, the authors of these books strive to build a common graphic program for fu.

The existing volume of "Fu Pu" of an anonymous in the Tang Dynasty is to study the so-called "Fu Qu", which includes strong, tight, long, intermittent, distant, send, send, virtual, and real.

Some are also molecularly called, such as "separation", which means that "there are six types of separators: light, heavy, sparse, dense, flat, and miscellaneous".

Of course, the Song people still had works that studied the rules and fu program, and like poetry, it became more and more dense.

With so many reference books, of course it is impossible to read them all, especially the quick-formed products like Ouyang Bian that have been strengthened through short-term times. However, how could Ouyang Bian spend so much time on Ouyang Bian? They naturally know how to pass by it perfunctorily.

Yes, it's indeed perfunctory.

In their opinion, with Ouyang Bian's poetry skills, there is no need to take these two items at all. It is just that the exam cannot be selected. I can only organize a set of quick-success methods for Ouyang Bian to train. The writing method of writing poetry that is practiced with this quick-success method naturally cannot write famous works of the past, but it is more than enough to perfunctory poetry and essays for the imperial examination.

This was not the point at all. Ouyang Bian filled in the poems and essays like filling in the blanks, and read them again, which made him feel disgusted.

Is this also called poetry?

However, things in the exam have always been like this. The exam is not originally your talent, but your foundation.

In terms of the meaning of the scriptures, one is to memorize the literary skills, and the other is to pay attention to the skills of solving problems. After all, it is also a skill to work hard. In this regard, the children of scholarly families have too much advantage.

Ouyang Bian has been taught by Ouyang Xiu since he was a child, and was urged to memorize books for several years, so he is familiar with the basic skills in this area.

The meaning of the scriptures is not difficult for him, but it only takes a lot of time.

In the afternoon, Zhi had time to solve a question. At night, the candlelight rose, and he ate with the crushed pastry, boiled some hot water.

The weather is still very cold, and the quilts I carry in the lattice are actually difficult to resist the wind and cold, but everyone looks like this, and no one can envy anyone.

So at night, Ouyang Bian wrapped himself up and fell asleep. It was too cold to do the test at night, so he would not do it.

Fortunately, he slept early, and the people sleeping behind him were so loud that they could only wait for their eyes to wait for dawn by the snoring.

I woke up early when I slept early. The next morning, Ouyang Bian woke up from his sleep. He first sorted out his personal hygiene and sat down a little while waiting for his thorough awakening before he could answer the questions.

It took him a lot of time to wait until the title of the classics was dried, Ouyang Bian put it away seriously, and then he opened the topic of the policy with his grandeur.

[Theory of punishment and reward loyalty and kindness]!

Ouyang Bian felt that his heart was about to stop beating, but it was still it!

Ouyang Bian immediately burst into tears.

It was not because I hit the question, but because I was crazy about being trained by Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu, it was wasted!

If I had known this article, I would have polished it well, and I wouldn't have to suffer any of that!

Ouyang Bian had tears in his eyes, and he copied the Zheng Guan Zhonghou theory that had been revised countless times in his heart on the test paper, while copying it while whispering a certain kind of fruit.
Chapter completed!
