however, people have a stronger sense of inferiority, Hieyama. At the end of each semester, they find that their vows have been covered with thick dust, and they still remember to study hard 48 hours before the exam, or to make the last stop by candlelight at night with fear of credits, or to struggle in the examination room with tired eyelids.
For me, leisurely study is always just a myth and a joke.
actually, why should I feel guilty? Didn't Weng Tong, the champion of the Qing Dynasty, blink his tired eyes and try his best in the examination room?
Anecdote of Qing Dynasty:
Strive to be the champion in firecrackers
Weng Tong _, the teacher of Emperor Guangxu, was a scholar for six years, which is often called the champion. At that time, he was only 26 years old and a teenager. However, there were also some stories about Mr. Weng competing for the imperial examination room that year.
When Mr. Weng was a classmate, his biggest rival was Sun Yuwen. Sun is a big family in academic circles. Grandfather is Sun Yuting, a university student, father is Sun Ruizhen, a senior scholar, and brother Sun Yugui is the number one scholar in the twenty-four years of Daoguang. I just want to prove two points: first, Sun's family is very good at studying, and Sun's classmates are naturally very good under the influence of this environment; Second, people who mix well are never satisfied and always have the urge to add icing on the cake. Since my brother is the champion, why isn't there a champion brother?
Look at the population quality of Weng's family. It is not easy. Weng's father Weng Xincun is also a college student.
The academic performance of the two students is similar, so it is difficult to be equal. It must be a scholar in that year. In the same year, there was only one champion in the palace examination. There will never be double yellow eggs, and there will never be any consolation prizes such as the honorary champion and the most popular Jinshi Award. No one will face a second interview. Liu Yusheng wrote "Miscellaneous Memories of the World Hall", saying: "He is the top scholar in science, and the third person dare not fight. Only two people. "
try to keep your opponent awake.
If we really want to find out the gap between them, it is the distance from the examination room. According to the regulations of the Qing court, candidates must live in a place not far from the examination room the night before they leave the palace for the exam, for example, they can stay near Chaomen. This rule may be to prevent candidates from being late. The Sun family lives not far from the imperial city, while the Weng family lives a little further away. At this time, unfair competition means surfaced.
Just the night before the exam, Weng was suddenly invited to dinner. Both families are family friends. Weng couldn't beat this face, so he went to eat. Although this is not a banquet at the Hongmen Gate, it is at least a malicious banquet. Eat, drink and be merry, chat and talk, it's late at night. Sun's family suddenly said with great concern, "Little Weng, you have to go back to the palace for an exam tomorrow morning." Weng's classmates are tired of eating, drinking and chatting, and then they have to go home in the middle of the night, too.
What's more, Weng went home and fell asleep, but he didn't know what the happy events outside the dormitory were. He set off firecrackers all night. At that time, there was no fireworks control, so he let them "stay up all night". Weng Tong _ stayed up all night.
And his competitor: Sun Yuwen. As early as when Weng was eating, drinking and chatting at his home, he turned off the lights and went to bed. They are full of energy.
The next day, when he walked into the examination room, Sun was full of energy. Weng picked up the pen and had no strength at all. He couldn't help sighing: "There is no doubt that the champion must be Sun Zi."
When Weng sighed in the sky, he suddenly remembered that there was another magic weapon in his bag: two ginseng branches. Ginseng is not a cheating weapon, and the examiner has not confiscated it. Weng regarded ginseng as the life-saving finger of the Monkey King, picked it up and stuffed it in his mouth. Suddenly, a miracle appeared. "Miscellaneous Memories of the World Hall" records: "Be conscious, put the book straight, wave your hand and hold it until the end."
on the contrary, it is extraordinary.
At this moment, the people of the Qing Dynasty, even the people of the whole earth, can't stop Weng Tong from
The champion of the Qing Dynasty that year was Weng and Sun came second. From then on, people called him the "ginseng champion". According to Stephen Chow version of Tang Bohu, this ginseng is really a must-have for the exam, and it can be used as an excellent student to improvise, refresh his mind, save the day and deal with the enemy's plot against him.
Anecdote:
Zeng Guofan was bullied by his roommate before the exam.
According to the note "Bamboo Sawdust in the Qing Dynasty", Zeng Guofan, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, lived in Yuelu Academy in Changsha when he was young and shared a room with a candidate. This roommate's desk is at a distance from the window, so you can put down a desk. In order to get the light, his former classmate moved the table to the window, and his roommate growled, "I was reading by the light of this window, but now you cover it." Can I still study? " Zeng Guofan said shyly, "So, where can I put my desk?" The roommate pointed to the dark side of the bed and said, "You can put it here." Zeng didn't care, so he put the table in the place designated by his roommate.
Blame Zeng Guofan's bad feng shui
Zeng's classmates may have studied hard at night in order to enter the examination state from the study state.
it happened that he was still working hard loudly. Zeng Guofan's letter once said that reading should be read aloud and repeated. It seems that he has been practicing this theory since he was very young. This made my roommate unable to sleep. My roommate severely scolded my former classmates. "Please, you don't study hard at ordinary times, and now you make noise when you sleep, and you still call people to sleep?" Zeng Guofan didn't talk back, so he lowered his decibel and studied in a low voice.
A few days later, after having obtained the provincial examination, Zeng Guofan, who was low-key and honest, was on the list, and his very arrogant roommate was named Sun Shan. I don't think this classmate is really wonderful, but he can also find the reason for his failure in Feng Shui. He hit the bed with one punch and growled, "I earned the Feng Shui in this room, but now you have taken it away." I have always taken a fancy to the geomantic omen of this house, but I was taken advantage of by this surname Zeng.
The students in the same exam couldn't stand it any longer, so they asked this wonderful student, "How did you ever sit at your mercy?" How can you say that others have occupied your feng shui? " This roommate was even more angry and argued irrationally, saying, "That's how Feng Shui was taken away by him."
From the examples of Weng and Zeng, any plot against or arrogance is only a reverse help to those who have real information.
Analysis:
People's emergency function promotes talent explosion.
Weng Tong _ can turn crisis into opportunity, although it is related to the stimulating and refreshing effect of ginseng, but it is mainly related to people's emergency function. Some people are called "urgently needed talents". The more urgent, the more effective it is. This shows that their first aid function is relatively developed. Such people can't improve their talents if they are in a calm state. The more urgent the situation, the more critical it is, but it forms a narrow exit, which leads to an outbreak of talents.
From this point, we can get a feeling that the study status and the examination status are sometimes not necessarily the same thing.
I once thought about studying slowly and calmly, coping with exams calmly and studying without lighting candles in the middle of the night. This state may not exist.
besides studying, people are also in the state of examination. On the eve of the exam, they must jump into combat and repeat what they have learned in the past with high density and high frequency. Stimulated by this "strenuous exercise", new inspiration and ability will be generated. High-intensity "review the past and learn the new".
If the Sun family's plot against Weng Tong _ is true, that Weng must be grateful to the Sun family, because it was the Sun family's extreme measures that prompted Weng to enter the examination state.
Of course, the usual study state is the most fundamental foundation, otherwise Weng can't get the top prize with a hundred ginseng in his mouth.
