Chapter 280 Praying for Your Wish

The second round of the examination was not difficult. Zhu Ping'an had long been familiar with official application essays. After the test papers were issued, Zhu Pingan spent a day and a half completing all the other test questions except Qing Ci.

In the afternoon of the next day after the test papers were issued, Zhu Pingan only had this green word question left.

Because it was foreseen that this green word would be the focus of this examination, Zhu Pingan paid enough attention to this green word question and left enough time.

This Qing Ci question is very simple, the title is only one sentence and eight characters, "Pray for what you wish, and try to make Qing Ci."

What does this topic mean?

If you want to understand the meaning of this topic, you have to briefly talk about this green word.

Qing Ci also belongs to a style, but this style is a specific style. In the past, it was used by Taoist priests to play or pray to heaven. To put it simply, tell the gods about the mortal affairs, or tell the gods about your wishes, hoping that the gods will show up. At the beginning, Taoist priests were writing, and then literati gradually began to write Qingci. After all, literati also believed in gods and had to pray for gods. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Qingci was the most prosperous period, because Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality during this period. For alchemy, the demand for Qing Ci is relatively large, but all ministers who write good Qing Ci can be promoted, so the ministers all pay attention to Qing Ci.

"Pray for what you wish, try to make Qingci"

The meaning of this title is to make your prayer into a green poem. You can write whatever you want to pray to the gods. It is generally an open-ended topic. To put it simply, it is the composition topic that everyone often writes when they are in elementary school: "My Wish"; or the topic that everyone often encounters in the English test when they are in high school and college: "ihaveadream."

Although the topic is simple, it is not easy to write.

The reason why it is not easy to write is that Qingci is not easy to write. Qingci is even more difficult to write than stereotyped essays. The writing requires gorgeousness and sincerity, which requires a lot. Generally speaking, Qingci is divided into two types, one is Qingci with poetry inscriptions, and the other is Qingci with Fu style. Generally speaking, there are more Fu styles, because Fu is easier to write, and Fu is closer to your stereotype.

See this topic. Ninety percent of the candidates are scolding their mothers, they have never done green Ci. Fortunately, they can write stereotyped essays, and the Fu style Qingci in Qingci is close to stereotyped essays, so most of the candidates try to write Fu style Qingci. If you work hard, you can write it even if you can't write it well. promise.

Facing the style of Daoqing's Ci, the examinees didn't know how many hairs turned gray for a while, racked their brains, frowned, and scratched their heads to conceive this Qingci.

Relative to them. Zhu Ping'an felt much more relaxed and happy.

Writing Qingci is not a problem, nor is it a problem to write Qingci well. The only thing Zhu Pingan considers is how to write this Qingci well.

Emperor Jiajing practiced immortality and alchemy. He was an out-and-out Taoist believer. He did not know how many elixir he ate in order to seek longevity. Of course, he would often make a wish to the gods in the sky for a shortcut. Brother Taibai gave me an elixir to help me Become a fairy, fellow Taoist Ziwei, I have a question and I want to consult you. Therefore, Qingci is in great demand. Emperor Jiajing was busy making alchemy and cultivating immortals, so he needed manpower to write Qing Ci. The need for leadership, we are naturally obliged. The ministers below have devoted themselves to the study of Qingci, one by one scrambling to present their masterpieces of Qingci to our Emperor Jiajing. Over time, a boom in Qingci has been formed. There are many people who write Qing Ci, but there are not many who write well. There are several heavyweight Qing Ci experts such as Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Yuan Wei, Xu Jie, etc. in the court.

It can be seen from this that Qing Ci is easy to write, but good works are hard to find.

For now, one of Emperor Jiajing's favorite Qingci poems is the Qingci Fu style couplet written by the scholar Yuan Wei: "The Luoshui Xuangui first offered auspiciousness, the number of yin is nine, the number of yang is nine, and the number of ninety-nine is eighty-one. , The number is connected with the Tao, the Tao is united with the Yuanshi Tianzun, and one is sincere; Qishan Danfeng is auspicious, the male sings six, the female sings six, six six thirty-six, the sound is heard in the sky, the emperor of Jiajing was born, and his life is boundless."

The confrontation is neat, the diction is gorgeous, and the flattery is popular, can it not be simple in the emperor's heart.

So, it is not easy to write a brilliant Qing Ci!

After this Qing Ci is written, it will be seen by Emperor Jiajing nine out of ten or 100%. This is not only related to this general examination, but also directly related to the imperial examination, and of course more directly related to your official career.

Those big bosses who are easy to be promoted, such as Yan Song, etc., are good examples!

Therefore, we must pay attention to it!

Wearing a mask, Zhu Pingan put the test questions on the side of the table, pressed them with a stone, stretched his waist, thought for a while, dipped the brush into the ink, and then dropped the draft of green words on a blank paper :

"I would like to go to the heaven and nine immortals, Yuji Tianxia, ​​the Jade Emperor of pure immortality and Taoism: Fu Yiqiankunlunchang, Kyushu, eight directions, coveting sages, enshrined in the Ai Enke Examination, sincerity is a blessing, immortals have nine ministers, people have myriad spirits, Yiyang Fleeing to the west, he is well-versed, and his tastes are all rested and he is prosperous. I hope that the Ming Dynasty will be lucky. I sincerely express my words."

But after finishing writing, Zhu Pingan shook his head again. This kind of Qingci is legal and consistent, but if you want to be outstanding and outstanding, simplicity is far from enough in the heart of the emperor!

Putting down the brush, Zhu Pingan rubbed his forehead and began to think.

In history, what are the famous Qing Ci written 30 years after Jiajing? Can I borrow them and use them? As long as they are Qing Ci that have not been written yet. However, after searching in my mind for a long time, there is no clue. Fortunately, after Jiajing, in the Qing Dynasty, the style of Qingci was almost thrown into the Western Pacific by the Qing government.

The Qing government, oh, yes, the Qing Dynasty also had a particularly famous Qingci, so famous that people ignored it as Qingci.

Qing. Gong Zizhen's Miscellaneous Poems of Ji Hai

Kyushu is angry and relies on wind and thunder, and it is sad to be silent.

I urge the Lord of Heaven to cheer up and send down talents of all kinds.

That's right, this poem is a famous Qing Ci. Maybe this poem is so famous that everyone didn't realize that this famous Jihai miscellaneous poem turned out to be a Qing Ci, but the facts are facts, and this poem is indeed A green poem. This poem is Gong Zizhen's face that the Qing government does not accept her own suggestions, so she can only helplessly pray to the heavens, hoping that she can send talents in an eclectic manner to save the dim Qing government.

Gong Zizhen was excluded in the Qing government back then, and he himself was extremely disgusted with the darkness and incompetence of the Qing government's officialdom, so he waved his hand, handed in a letter of resignation, patted his **** and went home. On the way home, I passed a place called Zhenjiang, where a meeting to worship gods was being held, and Gong Zizhen was recognized when she walked through the crowd without paying attention. This is a famous writer. The Taoist priest who held the worship meeting was a smart man, so he stopped Gong Zizhen, hoping that Gong Zizhen could write a sacrificial article for the worship meeting. Gong Zizhen couldn't refuse, so she took up the pen and wrote such a poem "Miscellaneous Poems of Jihai".

However, if you put this song Qingci intact, then wait for the beheading. Because although this poem is famous, it also means that the country is dull and decayed, dead and lifeless. This Enke was specially ordered by Emperor Jiajing because of the peace and prosperity of the country and the frequent occurrence of auspicious auspiciousness.

Now you submit this Qingci poem, the name will come out, but don’t want it. This is a resounding slap in the face for blatantly slapping me, Emperor Jiajing! If you want to use it, you have to change it.

"Kyushu Angry Order Wind and Thunder"

Kyushu is angry with the wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are galloping.

Fu Wei, the **** of heaven, is full of spirits, and he descends talents in an eclectic manner.

In this way, the meaning changes. The country is full of vitality, the heavenly edict is smooth, and the situation is very good. Thinking of the great spirit of God, I hope that talents can be selected in an eclectic manner. That is to say, the country is in good weather and the situation is very good. I hope that I can also be selected and pass the examination, so that I can contribute to the country.

The green word fits perfectly with the wish, um, it should be good.
