Chapter 213: Poetry Competition

Latest URL: Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the city of Lin'an is very lively.

"Master, we are going to parade at night, do you want to go with us?"

"Okay."

"I heard that there will be lantern riddles tonight, sir, you want to win more prizes for us."

"Yeah."

Looking at them Looking excited, Yang Guo also felt happy.

The family hurried out after dinner.

At this time, the lights outside were brightly lit, and there was a crowd of people. It was so lively tonight. There were gifted scholars and beauties, ordinary people, and officials in plain clothes.

There is a very interesting custom on Mid-Autumn Festival, which is to light lanterns. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, light candles on the finished lamps, tie them to bamboo poles, and hang them on the eaves or terraces, commonly known as "Tree Mid-Autumn Festival" or "Vertical Mid-Autumn Festival".

In the Jiangnan area, folks have the custom of making lantern boats on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then put the finished boat lanterns in the water to flow far away, and at the same time entrust people's best wishes.

Yang Guo watched them buy lanterns and put them in the water.

And the lanterns have their own wishes written down on them.

They were all in their twenties and looked like kids at this point.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, Baiyun Mountain will hold a grand annual Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival. At that time, people can enjoy the unique and beautiful Baiyun Mountain lanterns. At this time, it is the period when more than 100,000 themed flowers of more than 10 varieties, such as zinnias, sunflowers, and drunken butterflies, are in full bloom in Yuntai Garden. People can visit the sea of flowers during the day and enjoy the lanterns at night.

At this time, they watched folk juggling and traditional dramas, as well as all kinds of lanterns.

The most important thing is to guess lantern riddles.

With Yang Guo's knowledge and wit, he can easily solve any riddles.

Each of them got a lot of gifts in their hands.

Seeing the organizer's face was not good, they gave up.

There is a flower boat ahead.

There are talented men and beautiful women on the flower boat.

"Uncle, what kind of event is this flower boat holding?" "Today, the famous oiran

Liu Shishi is holding a poem reciting competition. Whoever writes the best poem will have the opportunity to spend time with her alone, and maybe get a kiss."

Those who recognize romantic talent will crave for it.

"Sister, why don't you go to participate too, you will definitely win the championship if you go."

"No, I don't want to see that oiran."

"Who told you to meet that oiran? I just want to see how you beat a group of talented people ." Yes." Lu Wushuang said mischievously.

"It's not easy to defeat them."

"Don't brag, in case there is someone more talented than you."

"I know you're provoking me, well, I'll try on board."

Lu Wushuang and the others couldn't Only men and scholars can get on the flower boat.

They can only go to other places to play first.

To get on the flower boat, you need to pay two taels of silver first. This is a poetry recitation competition, and the boat fee alone has already earned a lot of money.

Yang Guo looked bookish, no one doubted him when he got on the boat.

Each of this group of romantic talents is holding a paper fan.

General literati and Confucian scholars regard wrapping scarves as elegant, because they can be wrapped into various styles at will, so various scarves named after characters and scenery have been formed. For example, the "Dongpo scarf" with a high barrel and short eaves, there are also "Chengzi scarf", "Xiaoyao scarf", "Gaoshi scarf" and "Valley scarf".

The clothing of this group of literati is roughly the same, except that Yang Guo is dressed more luxuriously, most of them are dressed in simple and elegant clothes.

"I heard that Liu Shi's poetry looks better than Diao Chan's, and she has the posture of sinking a fish and falling a wild goose. If I can win the first prize tonight, then I can see a beauty."

"It's not easy, there are so many people participating in the poetry competition tonight."

"Today We invited the curator of [Sanbao Academy] lately, as well as Mr. Wang, who was the supervisor of the previous year, as judges. This ordinary poem is definitely not eye-catching.

" "

Where, like you, I'm here

to join in the fun."

...

Listening to these people's words, Yang Guo sat by and watched silently.

He is really not interested in the competition of gifted scholars.

Even if the poems are well done,

It is not necessarily the talent that the court needs.

Whether it is in ancient times or in modern times, the selection of talents is very important, and the methods of selecting talents are not the same in different dynasties. Different dynasties have different needs for talents, the subjects of examinations set by different dynasties, the form of examinations and Exam requirements are different.

Our imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were divided into the Jinshi Department and the Nine Classics, Five Classics, Kaiyuan Rituals, Three History, Three Rites, Three Biography, Scholars, Mingfa, and Mingjing. Palace examination, this is also a way to select talents layer by layer.

The four subjects of Poetry, Classics and Meaning, Discourse, and Policy are compulsory subjects in the provincial examination. The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty were divided into three stages, the Fajie Examination, the Provincial Examination of the Ministry of Rites, and the Emperor's Palace Examination. Among them, the Fajie Examination was held in Beijing by Guozijian and Kaifeng Prefecture, and in localities by prefectures and counties.

In fact, Yang Guo, as a modern person, feels that the talents who came out of the ancient imperial examinations are not what the country needs.

Although these people have written good articles, they are of no practical use to the governance of the country.

At this time, there were almost enough people, and the flower boat drove away.

A group of singers are playing the piano and dancing. This graceful dance is really pleasing to the eye.

Yang Guo was thinking that if he asked Long Er and the others to compose a dance music and danced it for him to watch, it would definitely look good.

After the singing and dancing, Mr. Wang began to host the poetry competition.

"Everyone, at the invitation of Ms. Liu Shishi, I and the dean of Sanbao Academy will be the judges of this competition. Tonight's exam question is success and failure."

All the talented scholars were dumbfounded when they heard this question Forced, they thought it was spring flowers, autumn moon, plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, etc...

"Everyone has a stick of incense time to think."

But everyone frowned and looked deep in thought.

Time passed slowly, and it took a while before someone started to write.

And Yang Guo had already thought up the poems, so he was calm and relaxed at this time.

Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Yang Guo started to write.

A poem is written eloquently.

Someone took what Yang Guo wrote. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Yang Guo saw that the incense was burned out, but few people wrote it. It seems that this exam question is a bit embarrassing.

"The time has come, so please wait a moment, we will find out after we evaluate."

Many expressed remorse, and a few wrote it out with hope in their hearts.

After a while, I saw Mr. Wang standing up again.

"Now I will announce the results of the competition. The first place in the competition is "Linjiang Fairy Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" by Shan Zhongke. This poem is definitely a masterpiece that has been handed down forever. I didn't expect to be able to witness the success of this poem tonight. I can't help but be overjoyed when I was born."

"What kind of poems made the judges so excited."

"Who is this mountain guest?"

" I'll find out later." "I'm really

curious about what it is Poetry can be passed down through the ages."
