Poetry is indeed useless, but in Su Shi's view, policy theory is equally useless.

Because after you get out of the examination room and get the rank, those things will actually be completely useless in your life.

How similar is this situation to the college entrance examination?

But why do we still need to take the exam? Because it is one of the few relatively fair ways to select talents.

But because of the existence of things like "three years of college entrance examination and two years of simulation", the unfairness of the college entrance examination does exist.

What to do?

Su Shi's idea is that there is no need to abolish poetry, so that at least the selected talents will not be just "question writers", but truly smart people.

Therefore, the purpose of the poetry test is not to test literary talent, but to test spirituality and intelligence, so as to find good seeds for the next step of cultivation.

This is actually in line with the subsequent reform of the college entrance examination. After all, the purpose is this.

Zhou Zhi was thinking while reading his notes.

He is not worried about his college entrance examination, because his teachers, classmates, and everyone who knows him all think that he is undoubtedly a "smart person."

I even wasted my talents in my last life.

Nowadays, Zhou Zhi does not let his mind be idle through such reading, but also makes himself happy and relaxed. Reading the miscellaneous sayings and notes of the ancients is the best way to rest.

It contains all kinds of fragmentary thoughts of predecessors, many of which are very interesting.

For example, Zhao Yuyan himself is not good at poetry, but when evaluating Du Zimei, some people once thought that the beauty of Du's poetry lies in the large amount of information. He can say four or five things in one sentence, which can cover half of the world.

Zhao Yuyang retorted in his notes: "This is a shallow way to discuss poetry! Isn't it true that Du Zimei is higher than other authors?"

"If we use the multitude of things in a sentence as our work, they will all be like Chen Wuji's sentence of 'Gui Jiao, Phoebe, Feng, Zak Zhang', and then we can stand alone. Even though Du Zi is beautiful, he cannot be exclusively beautiful."

"If 'the universe floats day and night' is used as a sentence for Man Tian Xia, then all the words 'Heaven and Earth', 'Huayi', 'Universe' and 'Four Seas' in the sentence are enough to be regarded as nothing."

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although the commentator was not a person who understood poetry, the rebuttal actually didn't get to the point.

The key to why a poem is a poem is to “communicate feelings”.

A large amount of information is certainly an advantage, but it must be a carrier of emotions. For example, Chen Shidao's sentence "Guijiao, Phoebe, Maple, and Camphor", because it is difficult for readers to bring their own emotions into it, it becomes a pile-up by the author.

However, it is replaced by "the sound of chickens in Maodian and the moon, and the frost of Banqiao". It is also a continuous stacking of ten nouns, but the reader's emotions can follow the words and enter the poetic environment created by the poet. Under the guidance of the poet, in their own

Complete the "secondary creation" in my mind, and get a clear picture and their own insights.

This is the difference between superior and inferior, so the main purpose of poetry is not the content, but the emotion behind the content, and the transmission of this emotion from the author to the reader's heart.

"You're good, young man!" A voice interrupted Zhou Zhi's immersive reading: "You can still smile while reading. This is because you have read in."

Zhou Zhi raised his head, but it was the front desk manager sister who had come over early to start work.

"Good morning, Sister Zhang." Zhou Zhi nodded to the manager sister and came over to help wipe the table: "You should have a good rest during the Chinese New Year, but I ended up causing you trouble."

"Fortunately for us, we are all used to it, and we don't pay much attention to the Chinese New Year in the city." Sister Zhang inadvertently revealed the superiority of Shudu people: "The top leaders also go to work in the third year of junior high school."

"That's right, your life is fast-paced." Zhou Zhi didn't care about this, he was still able to chat.

"Ha, life is still going well. Xiao Zhou, you are really good at phrasing." Seeing Zhou Zhi take the initiative to help, Sister Zhang also had a good impression of him. She whispered beside Zhou Zhi: "I heard that the big boss asked you to do this.

Therefore, Deputy Director Liu personally took over and arranged five dishes and one soup in a small private room."

"Yesterday I saw you brought your own wine. Are you stupid?" Although there was no one around yet, Sister Zhang still looked around and took out a pack of Tashan from the counter: "The standard of the small private room, every table and every meal, is

I have a bottle of Wenjun and a pack of this."

Zhou Zhi smiled and pushed the two things back: "Bureau Wu is my godfather, and I can do this. Sister Zhang, you should keep these two things. Just pay me ten yuan for each meal."

"I saw you tinkering with the karaoke equipment yesterday. You're so young, you know everything!" Sister Zhang smiled: "I'll add it to the bill later, and Deputy Director Liu wants to sign it. If he asks, you know

What did you say?!"

"I don't think he will ask at all. If he does, I know what to say."

Sister Zhang opened the drawer, put the cigarettes and alcohol in, gave Zhou Zhi ten yuan, and said with a smile: "If you need help with anything, errands, you're welcome! Sister likes smart people like you.

Son!"

This time I came to Shudu, it seems that the level provided by the hall is quite high. I don’t know if the two bottles of Laojiao yesterday played a role. Anyway, even the daily meals are "operable".

The price of Tashan has increased now, 8 yuan per pack, 12 yuan for a bottle of Wenjun wine in ordinary packaging, which is equivalent to Zhou Zhi and Sister Zhang sharing the 20 yuan for the table seats privately.

Zhou Zhi seemed to have gained ten yuan, but in fact he was using Laojiao Special Qu to fill Wenjun Liquor's trap, and he lost much more.

However, in this way, he completed the "transportation of benefits" to Sister Zhang, and at the same time became a "criminal partner" with her. Sister Zhang will naturally know how to repay her for all the big and small things that will happen next in the hotel.

Insight into worldly matters is knowledge, and understanding of human feelings is writing.

To put it bluntly, this is poaching from the public, but the standard of reception is like that. It is something that you and I agree on, and no one can tell whether it is wrong or not.

Unlike his father, Zhou Zhi's aspect of thoughtfulness is more inherited from his mother, and he is more flexible and transparent in doing things and does not stick to trivial matters.

After chatting for a while with Sister Zhang, who had a good relationship with her, Zhou Zhi went back to the room to wash up, and then according to Sister Zhang's notice, she went to call someone and went downstairs for breakfast at 8:10.

Thinking that Deputy Director Liu had said that he would come over to arrange breakfast in the morning, Zhou Zhi and his godfather went to the lobby downstairs fifteen minutes in advance to wait.

At eight o'clock, Deputy Director Liu arrived on time. When he saw the two men waiting at the door, he felt inexplicably comfortable. He smiled and said, "I told you to have a good rest. Why, you didn't enjoy singing last night? Didn't you do it for long?"

Sister Zhang came over with a smile and invited everyone to the restaurant: "Zhou Zhi is a sensible kid. He got up early and was studying in the lobby."

"Really?" Deputy Director Liu said, "I really should bring that brat of mine over here and study hard with you, Zhou Zhi."

"No, no." Zhou Zhi quickly waved his hand: "I just read some casual books for fun, and they have nothing to do with study."
