The provincial examination institutes officially announced the results of the postgraduate examination on February 26, and with the arrival of February 26, the announcement of the postgraduate examination results has become the focus of many students. On this day, some people are happy and some are worried, but for those lucky people who have the gold list hanging high and their names are really announced, it is undoubtedly a great joy in life. This can't help but remind me of the classic sentences in ancient poems that depict Zhongkui, as if traveling through time and space to share this joy with the ancients.
In ancient times, the imperial examination was an important way for scholars to advance their careers. Every time the list is released, those students who have finally won the top spot after a lot of hard work and hard work will feel unprecedented glory and pride. In ancient poems, these emotions are vividly expressed by poets.
Meng Jiao's "After Dengke" wrote: "In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to it." The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. This poem uses the spring breeze as a metaphor, the horse's hooves are fast, and the Chang'an flowers are seen in one day, vividly depicting the joy and excitement of the queen. It seems that you can see those students who have won the top spot, triumphant in the spring breeze, riding horses galloping in Chang'an City, admiring the flowers all over the city, and enjoying the fruits of victory.
And Yuan Hao's "and the Aftermath" wrote: "The gold list is high and the surname is true, and it is clearly folded into a spring." This poem is symbolized by the gold list, the true surname, and the folded spring branches, expressing the glory and pride of the queen. The gold list is the most glorious moment in the imperial examination, and the fact that your name can appear on it is the best reward for your years of hard work. Folding a branch of spring means that in the spring of life, you have finally ushered in the moment of blooming.
There is a similar description in Guan Xiu's "Offering Money to the Father": "The hall is full of flowers and drunk with 3,000 guests, and a sword is frosty and cold in 14 states." This poem is a metaphor for a house full of flowers and a sword frost and cold, expressing the heroism and might of the queen. Those students who won the top prize enjoyed the praise and congratulations of everyone in the celebratory occasion, and their talents and strength were also fully displayed and recognized.
These ancient poems all depict the joy and celebration of Zhongkui with vivid images and profound meanings. They are not only a record and memory of the ancient imperial examination system, but also a praise and affirmation of efforts and successes.
Back to reality, although the announcement of the results of the postgraduate entrance examination is different from the release of the imperial examination results in ancient times, it also means a reward for hard work and success. Those lucky ones with high gold lists and real names have undoubtedly achieved such results after a long time of study and preparation, and have paid great efforts and sweat. They have proved the truth of "no pain, no gain" with practical actions, and have also set an example for us to learn from and emulate.
Finally, let's go back to the scene in the ancient poem and feel the joy and pride. Whether it is Meng Jiao's "Spring Breeze Proud", or Yuan Hao's "Golden List Hanging Surname Zhen", they all tell us a truth: as long as we put in enough effort and sweat, we will definitely be able to usher in the spring and blooming moment of life.
