Now the annual college entrance examination is in full swing, and the topic of the college entrance examination has become the object of attention of the world. At present, the college entrance examination is carried out in the designated school classroom, and the ancient examination is held in the gongyuan.
In order to cheer up the candidates, the Gongyuan often writes some very refreshing couplets, such as the Jingshi Gongyuan has such a famous couplet: the night half of the text light shoots the Beidou; the morning is refreshing.
At the same time, in the imperial examination, there are many related couplets. It is reported that in a certain year's hospital examination, the Qing Dynasty poet Song Xiang was late for some reason, and the doorman did not allow him to enter, and the chief examiner heard the sound and walked out and asked him the reason for the lateness. During the conversation, Song Xiang responded quickly and spoke extremely quickly, and the chief examiner loved qicai, so he made a joint order. Link: The rapid water pushes the sand thick in the back.
This link seems to be bland, but "thick in the back" has a profound meaning, but it has a hidden meaning of ridicule - no skill, big old and rough talent is late, only at the end.
Song Xiang heard the implications of lianzhong and quickly responded: The windmill let go of the hub first. The "秕" of this association is "not full of grain", and the metaphor of "秕先" refers to the fact that those who are advanced in the examination room are good at making a splash and have no skills. This means that he is in the latter is the "full valley" with real talent and practical learning.
Seeing that Song Xiang's response was so exquisite, the chief examiner smiled and let him enter the test field.
Below, let's take a look at a few anecdotes about scientific expeditions that occurred during the Qianlong period.
Once, the general Zhaohui went west to xinjiang, and the result was a triumphant return, and Qianlong was very happy about this, so he gave Zhaohui a commendation and awarded him the first class gong and hubu Shangshu. At the same time, this year's examination, Qianlong also specially appointed Zhaohui as the chief examiner.
Of course, the problem is, as the chief examiner, Zhaohui, because he is a military general, not only has the ink in his chest limited, but also does not know a few large characters, so he is asked to preside over the scientific expedition.
Of course, Qianlong was also well aware of this, and in order to make Zhaohui a good examiner, he came up with a good method, arranging nine officials who were rich and five cars for Zhaohui to be the real examiners. After the candidate's paper was collected, he first showed it to the nine people, and clipped a note on the paper, and drew a circle on the note, and the more circles, the higher the score of this paper.
Finally, these circles of test papers were returned to Zhaohui for "approval". And Zhaohui got the test paper, there was no need to read the words at all, as long as he looked at which paper had the most circles on it, he was the best candidate for the title.
By involving military attaches in the affairs of civilian officials, it can be seen that Qianlong was indeed a brilliant and uninhibited Ming Jun.
Coincidentally, another year, the Qing Dynasty held the imperial examination, and it was not easy to reach the last round of the palace examination, and the result was that the strength of the candidates in this year was outstanding, and in the end, the examiner could not decide the real title, so he reported this matter to the Qianlong Emperor. Qianlong listened, and instead of accusing the examiner of being incompetent, he became interested and decided to personally examine these talents. His questions are very simple, you don't need to go through the big talk, just a good couplet. The upper link out of the Qianlong Emperor is 5 words: smoke lock pond willow. This uplink seems simple, but the 5 words hide mysteries, corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
The Qianlong Emperor gave them a moment of incense to pair up, and as a result, while several candidates were meditating, one of the candidates suddenly stood up and walked outside. Everyone was very strange, and Qianlong frowned and asked him why he left the scene. This candidate said that he was only shallow and shallow, and he really couldn't answer the next link, so instead of wasting time and humiliating people here, it was better to leave early.
When Qianlong heard this, he smiled happily and smiled: "It is you." Just as everyone was looking at each other, Qianlong continued: "In fact, there is no lower link in this league, he can deeply understand the depth of the upper link in a short period of time, bravely and decisively choose to give up, and he is really a person who knows the affairs of the times." This is also the quality required for officials. ”
When the crowd heard this, they immediately clapped.
The Qianlong Emperor was not only good at governing the government, but during his reign he created the last prosperous era of China's feudal dynasty, the Kangqian Dynasty, and his personal talent was also outstanding, and he was proficient in chess, piano, calligraphy and painting, and composed tens of thousands of poems in his lifetime, creating the largest monarch in history. At the same time, his calligraphy is also very profound. It is reported that his calligraphy has been collected by the world, and many of them have been passed down to this day.
Just read an interesting story about the Qianlong strange way to choose the title, let's look at another story, the story of the word "Yuan" asked for the word.
It is reported that whenever Qianlong goes to a place to play, there is a characteristic, that is, to do one thing anytime and anywhere, 2 words: inscription.
Once, when Qianlong went down to Jiangnan, he came to the Lion Forest in Suzhou, where the scenery was pleasant, and the qianlong emperor who was relaxed and happy came to be interested again, and ordered the little eunuch next to him to wait for the pen and ink, he picked up a large pen and wrote 3 big characters of the dragon flying phoenix troops: It's really interesting.
As a garden pavilion, the 3 words of the Qianlong inscription are not inevitably a bit tacky, and everyone can't help but laugh at it in private, but because it was written by Tianzi, the ministers did not dare to say it, after all, no one dared to joke with their heads and careers.
Coincidentally, Huang Xi, the new head of the new branch at that time, was also fortunate to accompany him, he had just entered the career, and he was a man of integrity, and he really couldn't look at it anymore, so he stepped forward and decided to save face for the emperor. But he was also a wise man, he did not directly persuade, but turned his mind, and went forward to say: "I heard that the emperor has a thousand words, and the subject has been poor since he was a child, and he was fortunate to be admitted to the yuan after studying hard in the cold window, but now he is still poor, and he also asked the emperor to give the word 'there' in the middle of the three words just inscribed to the subject." ”
The Qianlong Emperor was a very clever man, and when he heard xinke Zhuangyuan say this, he naturally understood his meaning at once, removed the word, and the mood was much higher, so he immediately pushed the boat along the water and rewarded Huang Xi with the word.
This is the origin of the very famous Zhenqu Pavilion, from the Qianlong inscription, a very beautiful pavilion was built, and the two words of Zhenqu were also made into a plaque to hang on the pavilion, which has been passed down through the ages to the present, becoming a good story and a beautiful talk.
