[In theory, in ancient times, as long as you memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, you could pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar. Why do most people fail to even pass the examination to become a scholar?]

[A netizen in the workplace posted a reply: This is equivalent to you reciting a poem "White hair floats on green water, red palms push clear waves."

What do you think the test questions are: White hair? Green water, Red palm? Clear waves. 】

[Actual test question: Tang Dynasty poet Luo Binwang once wrote a poem called "Ode to the Goose", which mentioned "white feathers floating on the green water, red paws paddling the clear waves."

Please write a 3000-word article on the topic "Only green water can nurture white swans" to discuss the relationship between local culture and talent cultivation. The handwriting should be neat and the arguments should be clear.

[And the above questions are only equivalent to the questions in the ancient provincial examinations. ]

[The number of questions in the joint examination and palace examination will only increase significantly]

"The ancients just had poor scientific research capabilities and low productivity, which doesn't mean they were not of the same species as us. Photographic memory is just the most basic skill. You have to know that in that era, there were no telephones, no cars, and no airplanes. If you want to govern an area at the level of a county on the map today, you don't have to have any brains to know how to get around, and you don't even know how to do a census [doge]"

"There is a proverb in the countryside, 'It's hard to tell the loofah vines and the meat bean tendrils apart. ' It means that once the loofah vines and the meat bean tendrils are entangled together, it is difficult to separate them.

A child wanted to tell the difference between the two and ended up tearing apart the tangled stems and leaves of the loofah and meat bean in his backyard.

My father found it funny and said, "We plant them to eat, not to distinguish them!" You just need to take care of them until they grow up, and pick the melons and beans to eat.

Requirements: 1. Choose the right angle and determine the theme; 2. Write your own title; 3. Except for poetry, there is no limit to the style of writing; 4. The problem must have clear characteristics.

“Isn’t there one in The Yongzheng Dynasty? The test questions given by Yongzheng were “Righteousness is the harmony of benefits”, “What Confucius did not say”, and “The sun and the moon can shine for a long time in the sky”. I guess most people, like me, don’t even know the source and meaning of these quotes, let alone analyze and express their own opinions. [doge]”

"What sun and moon, this is a traitor who is against the Qing Dynasty and wants to restore the Ming Dynasty, arrest him [doge]"

"Most people may have some misunderstandings. The fundamental difference between modern times and ancient times is the difference in productivity and production relations, not the difference in IQ. Smart people are smart no matter what era they are in. Human wisdom still shines through time and space, which amazes future generations."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Even if I am given the chance to write the character written by the champion, I will never be able to do it in my lifetime."

"It's even harder than this. The question is just one sentence, and you have to first identify the corresponding sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics, and then combine the context to figure out the meaning of the question and write the essay."

"Those who pass the provincial examination are Juren, the kind that would make Fan Jin crazy. Juren can directly serve as county magistrate (director of the county W office), with real power and official positions. The difficulty is equivalent to the current college entrance examination + civil service examination + cadre selection."

"Just take a look at the Ming Dynasty Zhao Bingzhong's No. 1 Scholar's Paper and you will know."

"[吃瓜R] Being familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics will at most make you a student or a scholar. If you can pass the Juren exam, it is not just about knowledge points, but also about political views, understanding of the political situation, dialectical thinking, etc. Otherwise, why do you think you need a teacher? Without a teacher to guide you, you can't even figure out the way to solve the problem, and you might even anger the examiner with your answer."

Scholars in ancient times: How can our examinations be so simple? If they were really that simple, I would have passed them long ago, and there would be no need for me to study hard for ten years.

People in later generations really look down on our ancestors!

The ancient emperors said: We hold the imperial examinations to select talents from the local areas. Those who can pass various examinations and become officials all have more than 800 ideas.

As the saying goes, books are dead, but people are alive. How could the imperial examination be so simple? Do you really think that we emperors have nothing to do all day and do charity for fools?

Zhao Bingzhong of the Ming Dynasty, who had not yet taken the exam, said: I, I am the top scholar! It seems a little unexpected, but it is reasonable. After all, isn't this the result of my hard study day after day for so many years?
