Chapter 28 The first round of the ring (2)
Meditation is of course not only about reciting scriptures, but can also be reversed, saying a passage of scriptures, asking the other party to tell the author and source, or to name the object referred to in the scriptures.
It is impossible for Yao Ding to ask the other party about "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and other free sub-questions. He will definitely ask about books that are a little colder. "Historical Records", as long as you have read "Historical Records", you can answer this question.
Everyone looked at the judge, and the chief judge nodded, "This question can be answered!"
The four students from Weinan Town are worthy of being the selected outstanding ones. After discussing for a while, the main answering student stood up and said: "This sentence comes from Volume 55 of Historical Records. The family of Liuhou refers to Liuhou Zhang Liang."
'when! ’ A chime sounded, indicating that the answer was correct, and the four students from Weinan Town cheered excitedly.
Next, it was time for Wei Nanzhen to come up with a question. He Zhen picked out the question type, and he picked out a question poem. He usually said the title of the poem, and then asked to answer the author and recite it.
The master of Weinan town asked the students to draw out the topic and asked: ""La Ri", ask the other party to name the author and recite the whole poem."
Li Yanqing was stunned, how could it be such a coincidence, they happened to say this poem during dinner yesterday, even Yao Ding couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
He Zhen was very annoyed. He prepared more than a dozen extremely uncommon poems, but the first round of requirements was that the difficulty was low. At that time, I happened to think of Laba, so I randomly stuffed it into the title envelope, but it happened to be selected by the other party.
Following the approval of the chief judge, Li Yanqing stood up and said, "This is the "La Ri" by the poet Du Fu."
He immediately recited:
December is still warm every year, and this year, the frost in Lari has completely disappeared.
Invading the snow is the color of the day lily, and the spring is leaking the willow.
Indulging in wine for a good night of drunkenness, returning to the family for the first time to disperse Zichen Dynasty.
Mouth fat face medicine with grace, emerald tube silver baby down to heaven.
'when! ’ Another chime sounded, and when it passed, Wang Gui and Tang Huai jumped up excitedly together.
Li Yanqing smiled and nodded to Yue Fei to express his gratitude. He really forgot this poem. Fortunately, he remembered it after Yue Fei read it aloud in the canteen yesterday.
Yue Fei was also secretly glad that if Master hadn't asked him to read it at that time, they would have lost in the first round. He was so excited that he raised his palm and gave Li Yanqing a heavy blow.
The first round of the two sides ended in a draw.
According to the usual practice, the first round is relatively easy, and the difficulty gradually increases from the second round, and the third round is the most difficult. The presiding judge looked at it and put it back. Competition shooting is not a compulsory question, and you can change the lottery.
He got the question for the second time, but Yao Ding didn't notice it. He Zhen next to him fixed his eyes on the shooting lottery he put back just now.
Yue Fei stood up and asked, "Please say the author's name and recite the whole poem for "Reminiscence of Mount Xisai"."
This is a poem by Liu Yuxi. Generally speaking, what Liu Yuxi has passed down to the world are "Recalling Jiangnan", "Zhuzhi Ci" or "Humble Room Inscription", etc. Although "Xisai Mountain Nostalgia" was written by him, it is a little out of the way , but it's not too unpopular, the difficulty is above average, which meets the requirements of the second round, and the judges agreed.
This poem made He Zhen a little nervous. He told this poem to his students a long time ago.
They only had an incense stick of time to think, and the time passed by little by little, but the students still couldn't remember it. He Zhen found that there was a clump of bamboo in the corner of the wall. Bamboo Branch Ci".
He Zhen glanced back secretly, and saw two students looking at him eagerly, he scratched his ears as if nothing had happened, and quickly pointed to the bamboo in the corner, implying that the students thought of Liu Yuxi's bamboo branch poem.
At this time, the chief judge coughed heavily in dissatisfaction. He saw He Zhen's little trick, but he didn't accuse him of cheating.
But it was He Zhen's hint that made one of the students think of the "Bamboo Branch Ci" that the master told in front of the bamboo forest, and Liu Yuxi, and finally remembered this poem.
They muttered a few words, and the student in charge stood up and said, "This was done by Liu Yuxi."
He also recited:
Wang Junlou's boat went down to Yizhou, and Jinling's royal spirit was sadly lost.
Qianxun's iron lock sank to the bottom of the river, and stones came out from a stream of streamers.
The world hurts the past several times, but Yamagata is still sleeping in the cold.
From now on, the whole world is home day, so the base is Xiao Xiao and Lu Di Qiu.
The presiding judge gave He Zhen a hard look, and forced a knock on the chime, which was regarded as a pass.
The four students hugged each other excitedly again. It was not easy to pass this level, because the other party answered the first question easily. They were no longer as contemptuous as they were at the beginning, and even started to get a little nervous.
Perhaps Yao Ding really had an intuition beforehand. He asked Yue Fei to recite "La Ri" in the dining hall, which happened to be the topic of the first round. It turned out to be a miscellaneous exam.
Miscellaneous exams are about couplets, lantern riddles, astronomy, geography, mathematics, painting, calligraphy, etc. Because the scope is too wide, the Boys’ Association only takes two types of exams, couplets and calligraphy.
Calligraphy is a basic skill for students, and they can basically pass the test, so as the second round of questions, they usually choose couplets, which is why Yao Ding thinks it is a coincidence.
The master student of Weinan Town drew a question and asked: "I wrote the first couplet, please answer the second couplet, the God of Butianwa, the Goddess of Xingdi, Dazaiqian, Zhizaikun, two goddesses through the ages."
Unexpectedly, the presiding judge was very dissatisfied with He Zhen's hint just now, so he directly rejected this very cold couplet.
The student in charge of Weinan Town asked two more out-of-the-ordinary couplets, both of which were rejected by the chief judge without hesitation. He Zhen blushed with anger. He knew that his reminder was seen just now, so the chief judge The judge was so dissatisfied with himself.
The presiding officer said coldly: "The three questions have not been passed. According to the rules, we will come up with the questions."
The presiding judge smiled at Li Yanqing, and I also issued a couplet, "It's not difficult, but it's not easy either. Please listen to the question. The couplet is: 'With loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, forgive the family, there will be no great prosperity, and there will be no success." Great decline, the previous generations will be far away." Li Xuezi, please write down the second couplet, and it will last for a while."
The presiding judge said to the students in Weinan Town: "To show fairness, you can also be right about this pair. If you match up, I will consider you to pass in advance in the third round."
This topic is to test couplets and calligraphy. Li Yanqing himself is very good at couplets. He pondered for a while, and then he picked up a pen and wrote it with one stroke.
Although Yao Ding turned his back to them, he heard his grandson's praise, and he felt relieved immediately, knowing that Li Yanqing was right.
Li Yanqing went forward to hand in the second couplet. The presiding judge was not in a hurry to read it, but waited for the second couplet from the students from Weinan Town with a smile on his face. After a stick of incense, they still couldn't write it out.
The chief interrogator nodded, "The opportunity was given to you, but if you didn't seize it, then it's not my preference."
He started Li Yanqing's couplet and shared it with the other two judges, and saw Li Yanqing's second couplet read: "Do good deeds in times of hardship, and if you have great virtue, you will have great blessings. Later generations will continue to encourage them." '
The three of them praised in unison: "Good alliance!"
Calligraphy is official script. Although it is not popular with everyone, it is also very smooth and beautiful. It is a good handwriting. The chief judge nodded repeatedly, "Unfortunately, it is only the second round. If it is the third round, I will pass it."
'when! ’ He picked up the hammer and struck a chime.
The four people cheered at the same time. At this time, the presiding judge slowly asked He Zhendao: "The couplet I issued is: "Forgive the heirs with loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. There will be no great prosperity and no great decline. The previous generations will plan far away; Lushan School is right. The second couplet of the poem is: Do good deeds in times of hardship, and if you have great virtue, you will have great blessings. Later generations will continue to encourage you. Master He, do you think it is feasible?"
He Zhen has nothing to say, the opponent's Xialian is well-rounded and ambitious, and he can't find any faults.
Even Yao Ding had a big smile on his face, his disciple is really a genius.
In the second round, the two sides fought to a draw again.
