The first exam was Chinese language.
The test paper began with a piece on technology, its sentences interspersed with numerous professional terms.
Bai Lian glanced over the test and estimated its difficulty,
feeling a bit worried for Weng Qi.
As she pondered, she began writing down answers on her test paper.
The proctor made a round and paused for a few seconds next to Bai Lian.
Since the Guange style lacked uniqueness and was not accepted into the Calligraphy Association,
fewer people studied it. Guange style emphasizes brushwork and endurance, as well as layout.
Bai Lian's Guange calligraphy, infused with the techniques of the Liang style, was considered excellent wherever it was placed.
They had never seen such neat and pretty test papers.
Proctors during the national examination are not allowed to stand beside a student for too long,
to avoid pressuring the examinees, or else the proctor would have liked to take another look at that test paper.
