Man that first page brought flashbacks. I didnt study in China but I've studied using their textbooks and exam papers before so I can attest that the one shown is pretty legit. Top half ancient literature, bottom half modern comprehension. Difficulty level is indeed around middle school / junior secondary school level but I dont think I can score half the marks at this point.
A big part of it is because I've forgotten the full texts of many ancient poems, so i dont really get Xu Qing's comment on Shi An being better at math because he memorized formulas, when chinese and history are the true rote learning subjects. I guess i should interpret it as Shi An likes subjects where he feels like he can find quicker paths compared to naive approaches.
I noticed that in my notifs and thought it was the default for forum titles lol, didnt realize someone was going around changing them. Maybe he's MAL staff with how much they like transliteration.
