Which of the four books, five classics, and six arts is not part of the content of the imperial exam

Six Arts. The Six Arts was the aristocratic education system of the Zhou Dynasty in China, which began in 1046 BC during the Zhou Dynasty, and the official school of the Zhou Dynasty required students to master six basic talents: etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

From "Zhou Li Bao": "Raising the son of the country with Taoism is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five masters, five is six books, and six is nine numbers."

This is the so-called "six arts" of "five meridians and six arts". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius also taught the six arts in private learning, but these six arts are the six classics of Confucianism, which are called "Yi", "Shu", "Poetry", "Rites", "Music", and "Spring and Autumn". The modern interpretation of the six arts includes six skills such as "etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics".

Neither the ancient six arts nor the present six arts were used as the content of the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Six Arts of Confucius have evolved into the Five Classics, and the Book of Music no longer exists in the scope of the examination.

The Ming and Qing imperial examinations only tested the "Eight Strands", and its content format was strictly restricted, which was equivalent to the Confucian classics, that is, the Four Books and Five Classics, etc., and the Baguwen itself was a kind of application text, but it was written for the sake of writing, and its application had no meaning! As for the six arts, it is like the current art and sports, even if it is useful, it is not tested.

Therefore, the answer to your question: objectively talk about the six arts, and apply the literature is not the content of the imperial examination; But if you want to include the eight-strand text itself, then you should use the text calculation; But I personally think that none of these three are the content of the imperial examination! Because it has no content, it is just a test for the sake of the test.

Of course, this is not the content of the imperial examination

1. The main contents of the Four Books and Five Classics include: Analects, Mencius, University, Zhongyong, Book of Songs, Book of Songs, Book of Rites, Book of Rites, Zhou Yi, and Spring and Autumn. The Four Books and the Five Classics are all based on Cheng Zhu's commentary.

2. The Four Books and the Five Classics are the combined names of the Four Books and the Five Classics, which are the books of the Chinese Confucian classics. The four books refer to the Analects, Mencius, the University, and the Mean; The Five Classics refer to the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Changes, and the Spring and Autumn Period, which are referred to as "Poems, Books, Rites, Changes, and Spring and Autumn".

3. The Ming and Qing imperial examinations are divided into:

1. Children's test; 2. Township test; 3. Examination; 4. Temple examination; 5. Eight strands.

Answer] :d Five Classics refer to the "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi" and "Spring and Autumn", referred to as "poems, books, rites, Yi, Spring and Autumn", which is the proposition range of the Ming Dynasty's imperial examination model and test royal code. Select D for this question.

In fact, the status of the Four Books is much higher than that of the Five Classics. Naturally, the four books are more important when taking the exam. In the Qianlong year, there was not even the Five Classics in the first exam.

The stipulation for these test-taking scriptures is that "each scholar occupies one scripture" and the scholar who takes the exam only needs to specialize in one scripture, which is called "special scripture", which is said to be a test of four books and five classics, but in fact the test is only four books and one scripture.

So in fact, the four books are more important.

The four books are greater than the five classics, and Qianlong also bluntly said that "from the scientific field, the first thing is to take scholars, and the first is to take three articles in the four books, and the scholars are not comprehensible, except for the four books."

D. Analysis of test questions: The material reflects that the "Book of Four Hail Companions" is shallower than the "Five Classics" compared with the "Five Classics"; Therefore b is correct. The imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing dynasties attached more importance to the "Four Books", and the candidates of the imperial examination must explain the meaning of the "Four Books" according to Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books".

Therefore, statements A and C are correct. It can be seen from this that the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties were not conducive to comprehensively improving the cultural literacy of scholars. Therefore, the source of the error in item D is next to it.

"Poems" (Book of Songs).

Book (Shangshu).

Rites (Rites).

Yi (I Ching).

Spring and Autumn

Five Classics: Poems, Books, Rites, Yi, Spring and Autumn.
