In fact, this problem is not a problem for Luo Xin at all. The competition in the examinations in later generations is not smaller than that in the Ming Dynasty, and various learning methods have been studied very thoroughly by various experts. The classification method is the most basic learning method. When I got the "Analects of Confucius", I wanted to separate the "Analects of Confucius" and read it. The "Analects of Confucius" did not have a classification, and it actually felt a bit disorderly. Therefore, when Luo Xin studied "The Analects of Confucius" in his previous life, he had already disassembled the content of "The Analects of Confucius" and reorganized it. He classified some themes, such as benevolence and righteousness, morality, cultivation, education, etc., and then reorganized the contents in "The Analects of Confucius" and classified them under these themes. At that time, he did not think of scientific examinations, nor could he think of scientific examinations. He just wanted to study Confucius' thoughts more thoroughly.
But now that Lin Chang asked this question, he suddenly realized that this classification in his previous life was very suitable for scientific examinations. The first thing to do in scientific examinations is to solve the questions. If you just memorize the "Analects of Confucius" and understand the essence of the questions thoroughly, you must always think about it after seeing the test questions. However, once you have classified them, you can directly know the classification of the test questions and know the essence of the test questions. It is only one aspect to save time. What is more important is that you will not panic if you have confidence in your heart.
Anyone who has experienced the exam knows that being calm in the exam room has a decisive impact on the test scores. However, Luo Xin, who has two lifetimes of life experience, knows that people cannot be too high-profile, nor can they always be high-profile. People without backgrounds can only attract more jealousy and plots. In order to prove that they did not lie, they were forced to be high-profile, and it was time to lie for a while. Otherwise, once they get used to high-profile, they will become personality and nature. So Luo Xin said respectfully:
"Please teach the teacher."
Sure enough, Lin Chang's face showed a look of satisfaction. He didn't know what Luo Xin was thinking, but was just satisfied with Luo Xin's attitude of studying, which was known, not knowing, not knowing, not knowing, not knowing.
"You have to read the entire Analects of Confucius separately, classify them, classify them according to benevolence, morality, cultivation, education... and then classify the chapters belonging to each category under the classification topic. Do you understand?"
Lin Chang's eyes showed expectation. Seeing Lin Chang's expectant eyes, Luo Xin immediately knew what he should do. After all, he had already shown the potential of a prodigy in front of Lin Chang. If he suddenly became too stupid, it would not hide his weakness, but would arouse Lin Chang's suspicion, and it would be a loss. Therefore, Luo Xin's face immediately showed an appropriate surprise and said:
"Teacher, can you speed up the problem solving? As long as I see the test questions, I know where to solve the problem?"
"good!"
Lin Chang's face showed satisfaction again, and the more he looked at himself, the more he loved him. After pausing, he said:
"Luo Xin, with your intelligence, you will definitely take the third exam to get a fame in the future. But if you want to become a literati recognized by everyone, there are several things that must be done. First, you must read the Four Books and Five Classics, the lecture notes of many schools, and have a certain degree of knowledge. This is the necessary foundation for you to go to the scientific examination, because this is the top priority in the scientific examination; second, to be able to know poetry, of course, you don't have to become a poet like a saint and lyrics, which requires talent, which is not something that ordinary people can do, but at least above level; third, you must be proficient in at least one of the various skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is an elegant thing and a standard for measuring a gentleman. Fourth, you must write good handwriting."
Lin Chang looked at Luo Xin with anticipation and continued, "I can read books slowly, and I will try my best to teach you. Even if you don't have talent, you can accumulate poetry slowly. As your experience grows, there will always be decent poetry. After you read books for a few years, I will slowly train you. These are the arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
Speaking of this, Lin Chang paused and said, "Do you know a kind of art?"
At this time, Luo Xin was thinking about the teacher's words, and he was still very sure of the scientific exam. There are two reasons. On the one hand, he has a deep foundation in ancient Chinese literature, and there are still many famous articles to copy at critical moments. On the other hand, he is now in the north, and the literary style of the north is far from the peak of the south. In the south, he can easily find a scholar who can pass the level of Tongsheng, scholar, and juren. Therefore, with Luo Xin's skill, at least it should be no difficulty to get a juren. The level he fears is just the Jinshi exam.
but……
Can't you copy it? Are the articles he compiled after the Ming Dynasty that were moldy?
Poetry...
This is a bit difficult. He also wrote poems in his previous life, and he really cannot compare with the ancients. As for modern poetry... then forget it, it will be laughed at by the people of the Ming Dynasty. However, at the critical moment, he can also copy a few articles, so Luo Xin won't blush. Therefore, Luo Xin doesn't think he will have any problems with poetry.
As for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all parents in their previous lives seemed to be very enthusiastic about this, and they wished that their children were versatile, so Luo Xin was no exception. He had attended many extracurricular classes since he was very young, and he learned sketching at that time. In the end, he fell in love with Dongxiao and Go, and they all reached the professional level, which was inseparable from his liking of ancient Chinese and history. He liked all things with ancient style.
As for what Lin Chang said about writing good characters, he was even more confident. He had already learned the calligraphy of Liu Gong and would not be embarrassed anywhere. At this moment, he heard Lin Chang's question and replied:
"I know the flute."
"Oh?" Lin Chang was stunned, then he got up and took a flute and handed it to Luo Xin and said, "I'll listen to the song."
Luo Xin took the flute with both hands and straightened his body. The afternoon sun shone down from the door, shining on Luo Xin's body, with a layer of afterglow, which made Lin Chang's eyes look admiration. Just when he saw Luo Xin's flute holding expression, Lin Chang firmly believed that Luo Xin's level would not be too bad. He waved his hand and stood up from the chair and said:
"I'll go outside and listen."
Luo Xin naturally knew that listening to the flute from afar, so he leaned over and bowed to Lin Chang slightly. When Lin Chang's figure disappeared outside the door, he straightened up and thought about the famous ancient songs in his mind. He could not play an ancient song from the Ming Dynasty. It would not seem like the teacher explained that he finally chose an ancient song from the Han Dynasty "Fan Canglang".
"Fan Canglang" was originally a famous guqin song, expressing an artistic conception of driving a boat on the five lakes. It was later adapted into a flute song. The elegant overtones make people enter the artistic conception of rippling blue waves and smoky smoke.
