Before reading this article, there is no need to click the "Follow" button, and there is no need to share or like, let's directly ** an ancient image misled by the TV series - Xiucai.
In TV dramas, Xiucai is often portrayed as a group of poor scholars, is this true?
The word Xiucai can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and at first it was not to obtain fame through the imperial examinations, but to refer to those who were talented.
In the Han Dynasty, due to the lack of a scientific examination system, the selection adopted the "recommendation system", as long as you get the recommendation of the highly respected, you can become the imperial court.
The selection system of the Han Dynasty focused on "filial piety", and whether the talented people were filial sons became an important condition.
However, by the Wei and Jin dynasties, the imperial court carried out a reform in talent selection and introduced the Jiupin Zhongzheng system.
Although this system was more just than the recommendation system, it was still in the hands of the aristocracy.
It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties that the imperial examination system arose, providing a platform for truly talented students to display their talents.
At this time, the imperial examination system was divided into three levels: Jinshi, Mingjing, and Xiucai.
To become a Xiucai, you must first become a child, then take the Xiucai examination, and gradually participate in the subsequent imperial examinations.
It is similar to modern junior high schools, high schools, and universities, but the difference is that in ancient times, there was no nine-year compulsory education, so relatively few people were able to receive education.
However, Xiucai is not easy to obtain, and the wide range of knowledge in the exam makes the examiner unavoidable, making every exam a huge test.
During the Qing Dynasty, Xiucai was still not admitted casually, and among the 500,000 candidates, very few could obtain the fame of Xiucai.
If placed in today's context, the ancient Xiucai exam can be compared to the modern college entrance examination.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, Xiucai's exams were still not to be underestimated, because every exam was full of uncertainties, and the examiner's way of asking questions was unguardable.
Therefore, the fame of the ancient Xiucai is not low, and the talent is above the talent.
In "Fan Jin Zhongju", Fan Jin was very happy when he lifted people, which is enough to show the preciousness of ancient fame.
Therefore, Xiucai has always been a talented person, and the misleading of Xiucai in the TV series is just an illusion.
In ancient times, "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and becoming a scholar is a kind of pride and an honor.
In the ancient society, there were clearly divided classes, and scholars were always the first, so even in difficult times, people would try to provide for a scholar.
