In the context of ancient Chinese history, the children of the poor often embarked on the road of the imperial examination in order to gain fame, which can be understood in the modern context as a symbol of hard work. However, the hardships of the imperial examination are like thousands of people racing on a single-plank bridge, and its difficulty can be seen. Fan Jin, a typical character in "The History of Confucianism", is a vivid portrayal of this kind of low-level readers.
So why did Fan Jin go crazy because of the move? At that time, what value did such a diploma mean that it would go crazy and shout late into the night? Judging from Fan Jin's life experience, the answer may lie in the fact that he was lonely and tired for half of his life, and he failed to pass the imperial examination repeatedly, and he did not get the title of the red list until he was close to his age. In addition, Fan Jin's marriage to Hu Shi, the daughter of Hu Butcher, is also a scene of deep fate that feels the trick of fate, Hu once agreed to marry Fan Jin because his appearance was not outstanding and his family was poor, which shows that this marriage was not full of blessings. So Fan Jin could only silently bear the contempt and blame from the Hu butcher.
However, even though life was difficult and in the face of his father-in-law's cynicism, Fan Jin still did not let go of his heart for the imperial examination, and still studied hard, and had no time to take care of farm and family affairs, all of which were borne by his family. Due to the embarrassment of life, not only was he never able to start a family, but he successively invested in the imperial examination and was in debt. A few years later, Fan Jin rekindled his hope and decided to overcome his family's difficulties and go to the provincial capital to take the exam. However, when he encountered financial problems, he had to muster up the courage to ask his father-in-law for help. But Butcher Hu's reaction was naturally an angry rebuke, bluntly saying that Fan Jin should give up this unrealistic dream early.
In the end, Fan Jin rekindled his dream with the help of his fellow villagers, and finally realized his ideal after a long time and became a generation of literati. This story not only reflects the living conditions of the scholars and ordinary people of that era, but also shows the tenacity and perseverance of individuals in the context of traditional culture.
The final results have not yet been announced, and the opinion of the examiner is still dominant, and Fan Jin is silently silent during the days of waiting for the results to be announced. His already inferiority complex has also worn out over time, and his self-confidence has gradually been lost, and he has become more and more reticent.
Admit to lift people and flip your fate.
The waiting moment was like a year, and the confusion in Fan Jin's heart became more and more intense. Late one night, the family ran out of food and rice, and my mother was hungry and her vision was blurred. Fan Jin was heartbroken and decided to sell the old hen at home in exchange for some rations.
Facing his mother, Fan Jin felt guilty and immediately complied with his mother's request. At this time, good news came from the government, and someone informed Fan Jin that he had been promoted to high school. That day, Fan Jin was taking the hens to the market to sell, and suddenly heard the good news and fell into a coma on the spot.
Seeing this, passers-by fed him water and woke him up. After Fan Jin woke up, he cheered in the downtown area and announced loudly: "I was admitted, I was admitted!" Then he went to the gathering place of the crowd and shared the joy.
Seeing Fan Jin's crazy state, relatives and friends were very anxious. However, considering Fan Jin's special status, he invited Hu Tuhu, the father of Fan's wife, to come and persuade him. The father-in-law, who was strict in the past, now seems timid and uneasy, and his offensive words towards Fan Jin can be regarded as tactful.
Under the persuasion of everyone, Hu Butcher finally mustered up the courage, pulled the excited Fan Jin in front of him, and slapped Fan Jin in public. Fan Jin finally came to his senses, and his eyes were firmly facing his father-in-law, Hu Butcher.
It turned out that just now this status means to become a county-level **, this amazing change shocked the public, and the once despised sour show instantly won everyone's respect.
Under the ancient Chinese imperial examination system, juren was regarded as a very good citizen. Passing the college entrance examination is like stepping into the gate of officialdom and having the opportunity to participate in national political affairs. In other words, if you meet the qualifications of a civil servant, you can then be respected and worshiped by the people. Fan Jin was able to participate in the Beijing Division Examination after the middle move, and if he successfully entered the top three, he might even stand out in front of the emperor. Even if he didn't make it to the Jin Shi, he still had the opportunity to serve as a parent official in a small remote town, with duties similar to those of today's county magistrate's hall civil servants. Although its power is not comparable to that of the elite, it has been able to significantly change the fate of individuals.
What deserves our attention is the imperial court regulations at that time: the whole family can be exempted from land tax and forced labor. In the face of local ordinances, it is only necessary to accept the supervision of national laws. When entering an official place such as a prefectural office, you have the privilege of not having to bow down to your immediate prefect. If there is a mistake, there can not even be corporal punishment or reproach, and the rules must be followed. It is not difficult to see that the social status of the lifter at that time cannot be ignored. Especially for those ordinary people who have never been in contact with aristocratic people, it is really rare**. Therefore, it is not surprising that the villagers have changed their opinion of Fan Jin.
Since then, Fan Jin has been able to legally enjoy the protection given by the state, and no one dares to bully him easily. After the news of the Zhongju was announced, not only did the neighbors take the initiative to pay tribute to him and give him money, but the landlords from all walks of life also sent rich gifts in an endless stream: gold and silver jewelry, precious antiques and even goodwill manors. They vied with each other to tie up the old man. In the face of these gifts, Fan Jin accepted them calmly, which was also the reward for his years of hard work and struggle.
Fan Jin was briefly crazy when he first learned the good news of his victory, but he really deserved this joy. He has participated in the imperial examination for decades, experienced countless hardships and hardships, and finally stood at a new starting point when he was in his fifties. In that era, few people could do this, and this joy was incomparably precious. Since then, Fan Jin has successfully become a county **, controlling the withering cycle of people's lives. His chances began to change, and his father-in-law, Hu Butcher, benefited from it, and the whole family prospered.
After entering the DPRK, Fan Jin continued to make great efforts and was quickly promoted by virtue of his talent. In just a few years, he completed the transformation from a poor scholar to a high-ranking imperial court, and even held such a major position as the secretary of the capital's political affairs. As a general envoy, he had the opportunity to talk with the emperor, and the speed of his promotion was staggering. No matter what the era, his talent is unmatched. Fan Jin's identity change is unusual, most of us can't imagine it, let alone bear it. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
No matter how time passes, it is not difficult to find that from the grassroots level to the first level, you need to go through strict assessment and selection. Nowadays, we all know that it is not easy to stand out in this process. Perhaps, time will not be turned back, but we can understand and appreciate the demeanor of the people of that era.
