Chapter 57 part 1 (1/2)

Sorry for the late post! I’ll try to post earlier tomorrow.

The academy has a study room, which is only open to students who have entered class A.

The study is not big. It is in a small building and on the upper and lower floors contains all the books in the Qingyuan Academy since its opening. These books are not worth mentioning to those big academies, but to places like Huyang Township, they are extremely rare.

The reason Qingyuan Academy can still exist under such disadvantages is partly because of the master of the school, Lin Miao, but more for the book collection in this study.

Ancient books are divided into four major parts of Jing Shi Zi Ji 1. Before Zhu Xi 2, Confucian scholars used the reading of the Six Classics and other Jing Fu books as the foundation of their studies, followed by the other three parts of Shi, Zi and Ji. When they start studying Zhu Xi, the order of reading the scriptures can be adjusted. They read the four books and the five scriptures first, and then the others.

The Qingyuan Academy also follows this procedure. After students are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, they can begin to study other classics while studying.

Of course, these books are not the only ones in the study, there are also some literary scripts and question banks that readers love.

The so-called Wenfu question bank is some classic test essays from the past dynasties. For example, “Thirty Thousand Selections of Big Questions”, “Big Questions of Wenfu”, “Small Questions of Wenfu”, “Four Books Prepared for Purpose”, etc., are all necessary sample essays for scholars to take the imperial examination. These essays will be divided into four different categories based on the four books, and the following are divided into major topics and minor topics, and each proposition will contain a different model essay.

“That’s it!” Mao Badou said with excitement, touching the book in his hand.

Not only him, Chen Jian and Li Datian were also the same.

For a student who still doesn’t know how to do eight-part essays, these sample essays can be used as guidance, which can save them a lot of effort. Therefore, after Mao Badou inquired clearly about the situation, he hurriedly pulled the three of them.

“It’s not in vain that I went deep into the enemy, revealed my inner thoughts, and spent a lot of money.”

Speaking of this, we must talk about what had happened before.

If the students in Class B wake up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the cats, then the students in Class A are truly in a fairyland on earth.

Although there are two classes in the morning and evening every day, the Xiansheng does not necessarily come, and the students are not necessarily constrained to be in the lecture hall, but can study freely in the academy. The teacher’s lecturing time has also been greatly reduced, and the students tend to self study.

No one is restrained, and the few newcomers to Class A can’t help being a little slack. Especially Mao Badou, who has nothing to do all day long, has the appearance of resuming his old habits.

This was the case until the first ten-day test that a few people who entered Class A had to take. The test was to make an eight-part essay, the subject of which was given by the school head.

Several people suffered the first time. Except for Xue TingRang, the essays made by the other three were simply terrible and horrible.

Afterwards, all the essays of the students who were admitted to Grade A were posted for everyone to study and learn from each other. Among them were the last three essays, which many people sneered and laughed at saying even such people can even get into Class A.

The three of them were very embarrassed, and even Xue TingRang could not be laughed at.

In fact, these people are also a little wronged. Firstly, they didn’t know that there would be a test. Secondly, they have just learned to write an essay, so it is extremely difficult to write an excellent article.

Xue TingRang had also thought about whether to teach them, but he didn’t want to arouse people’s suspicion. In addition, although he had that dream, the specific memories in that dream were extremely vague. However, with previous experience, he knew that he only had to study hard, these things hidden deep in his memory would one day be unearthed, and at that time, he would benefit infinitely.

Returning to the present, Mao Badou was quite upset after being ridiculed, but he turned his head away and started to act strangely. After a few days, he suddenly said that he had found a good way to make studying progress and brought the three of them to the study, which contained these Wenfu question banks.

Xue TingRang flipped through the book in his hand, smiled and shook his head and inserted the book back.

“Why did Tingying behave like this?” Chen Jian asked curiously after seeing Xue TingRang’s behavior.

“It’s nothing, in fact, this book is not very useful.” After a pause, he said again: “But you can take a look and try using it to study.”

Everyone didn’t understand why he said that, but they didn’t think much.
