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. They still remember to study hard 48 hours before the exam, or make the last stop by candlelight at night with fear of credits, or struggle with tired eyelids in the examination room.
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?
Anecdotes of Qing dynasty:
Strive for the champion in firecrackers.
Emperor Guangxu's teacher, Weng Tong _, Xianfeng, was a scholar for six years, which is often referred to as the champion. At that time, he was only 26 years old and a teenager. However, there are also some stories about Mr. Weng's struggle for the imperial examination.
When Mr. Weng was a classmate, his biggest opponent 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 study is very good, and Sun's classmates are naturally very good under the influence of this environment; Second, people who mix well will never be satisfied, and there is always an impulse to add icing on the cake. Since my brother is a champion, why is there no champion brother?
Look at the population quality of Weng's family. It's not easy. Weng's father Weng Xincun is also a college student.
The two students have similar academic achievements, so it is difficult to be equal. Must be the scholar of that year. There was only one champion in the palace entrance examination that year. There will never be double yellow eggs, there will never be any honorary champion, the most popular Jinshi award and other comfort awards. No one will face a second interview. Liu Yusheng wrote Miscellanies 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 near the examination room the night before leaving the palace to take the exam, for example, they can live near Chaomen. This rule may be to prevent candidates from being late. The Sun family lives not far from the imperial city, and the Weng family lives a little farther away. At this time, unfair competition means surfaced.
On 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 to take the exam tomorrow morning." Weng is tired of eating, drinking and chatting, and then he has to go home in the middle of the night.
What's more, Weng went home and fell asleep, but he didn't know what was happening outside the dormitory. 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 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 a grandson."
Weng sighed in the sky and suddenly remembered that there was another magic weapon in the bag: two ginseng branches. Ginseng is not a cheating weapon, and the examiner has not confiscated it. Weng regarded ginseng as the Monkey King's life-saving finger, picked it up and stuffed it in his mouth. Suddenly, a miracle appeared. "Miscellanies of the World Hall" records: "If you are conscious, put the book straight, wave your hand and lift it to the end."
On the contrary, it is extraordinary.
At this moment, the people of Manchu, even the people of the whole earth, can't stop Weng Tong from following.
That year, the champion of the Qing Dynasty was Weng and Sun came second. From then on, people called him "Ginseng Champion". According to Stephen Chow version of Tang Bohu, this ginseng is really a must-have for exams, 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 roommates before the exam.
According to the note of Bamboo Scraps in 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 used to read 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? My 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 for his bad feng shui
I may have studied hard at night in order to enter the examination state from the study state.
It happened that he was still trying hard loudly. Zeng Guofan once said in his letter that reading should be read aloud and repeatedly. It seems that he has been practicing this theory since he was very young. This keeps my roommate awake. My roommate scolded my former classmate severely. "Please, you don't study hard at ordinary times, and now you are noisy when you sleep, and you still call people to sleep?" Zeng Guofan didn't talk back, so he lowered the decibel and studied it in a low voice.
A few days later, after having obtained the provincial examination, Zeng Guofan, who was low-key and upright, was on the list. His very arrogant roommate was named Sun Shan. I don't think this classmate is really great, but he can also find the reason why he failed in Feng Shui. He hit the bed with one punch and growled, "I earned the Feng Shui in this house, 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 questioned this "wonderful" student: "How did you sit at your mercy? How can you say that others have taken your feng shui? " This roommate was even more angry and argued irrationally, saying, "That's how Feng Shui was taken away by him."
Judging from the examples of Weng and Zeng, any conspiracy or arrogance is only a reverse help to those who have real information.
Analysis:
People's emergency function promotes talent explosion.
Wengtong _ can turn crisis into opportunity, although it is related to the stimulating and refreshing effect of ginseng, it is mainly related to people's emergency function. Some people are called "urgently needed talents". The more urgent, the more effective. This shows that their first aid function is relatively developed. Such people, if in a calm state, can't improve their talents. The more urgent the situation is, the more critical it is. Instead, it forms a narrow exit and leads to an outbreak of talents.
From this point, we can get a feeling that learning status and exam-oriented status are sometimes not necessarily the same thing.
I once thought about taking my time, studying 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 go into battle 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 Sun's "plot against Weng Tong _" is true, then Weng must be grateful to Sun, because it was Sun's extreme measures that prompted Weng to enter the examination state.
Of course, the usual learning state is the most fundamental foundation, otherwise Weng's mouth will not be able to win a hundred championships.
