Fan Jin's story Many people know that Fan Jin studied hard for decades, endured the cynicism of his father-in-law's family and the people around him, gritted his teeth, and insisted on being admitted to the Jinshi, but after learning that he was a high school jinshi, Fan Jin was crazy with joy. The story of "Fan Jinzhongju" is not a separate fable, but a small story from "The Outer History of Confucianism".
Many people feel that Fan Jin's utilitarianism is too heavy, and he has spent almost most of his life taking the Jinshi examination, and after being admitted to the Jinshi, he was happy and went crazy. In fact, the author of the book "The History of Confucianism" is incomplete in telling the whole story of Fan Jin, after taking the Jinshi examination, Fan Jin successfully entered the court as an official, so how big an official did Fan Jin do in the end?
The description of "Fan Jinzhongju" in "The Outer History of Confucianism" is actually worth savoring. Unfortunately, most people are superficial. Judging from the plot of the story, Fan Jin had a bad time before the middle lift, and all the people around him could bully him, even Fan Jin's wife looked down on himMany people think that Fan Jin is a complete wreck.
Let's take a look at a general introduction to Fan Jin in the original book. In the story "Fan Jinzhongju".Fan Jin began to participate in the imperial examination at the age of 20, and participated in more than 20 examinations before and after, until he was 54 years old。In other words, it took Fan Jin 34 years to be admitted to a showman.
However, when many people watch costume TV series, they find that if anyone has a show, the villagers will also come to congratulate themHowever, why is Fan Jin always ridiculed when he is admitted to Xiucai? Because in the ancient talent selection system, Xiu was the entry level.
According to the current exam, Xiucai is equivalent to a random exam; Xiucai is to lift people, and lifting people is probably equivalent to the month-end exam or mid-term exam, and the exam for lifting people is held every three years; Lifting people up and down is the Chinese-style jinshi, and the Chinese-style jinshi needs to be selected through the general examination, which is probably like the final exam at the end of each semester.
And the highest level of Jinshi is required to pass the examination of the imperial court examination, and this is equivalent to the whole school's investigation. Top students from all over the country came to participate in the palace examination, and Fan Jin only passed one show in 34 years, no wonder Fan Jin's relatives, friends and neighbors around him looked down on him.
So many people take Fan Jin as a negative example, thinking that Fan Jinguang can read and has no ability to live at all, and he can't carry his shoulders and can't carry it, and he lets his wife suffer with him. In the story of "Fan Jin Zhongju", it is recorded that once in the winter, Fan Jin took an exam, and he was shivering from the cold in thin clothes.
Look at Fan Jin's father-in-law, Fan Jin's father-in-law is a butcher who kills pigs, and he lives by selling meat on weekdays, which belongs to the lowest level of society in ancient times. Merchants were originally ranked last in all walks of life in ancient times, and Fan Jin's father-in-law was at the bottom of the chain of contempt for the merchant industry.
Fan Jin's father-in-law is called self-employment in the current popular words, and to be honest, Fan Jin's father-in-law is just a stall owner who makes a living by killing pigs and selling meat。Even so, he looked down on his son-in-law Fan Jin, but you can imagine how failed Fan Jin was in the eyes of others at that time.
There is also a plot in the story of Fan Jin Zhongju that Fan Jin really couldn't afford the expenses needed to take the exam, so he wanted to borrow some money from his butcher. However, who knew that not only did he not borrow the money, but he was scolded by his father-in-law. Fan Jin's wife's surname is Hu, and Fan Jin's father-in-law is also known as Hu Butcher.
When Butcher Hu learned that Fan Jin's intention was to borrow money, he scolded directly, and it was written in the original book that the butcher spit out a mouthful of phlegm on Fan Jin's face. At this time, Hu Butcher also revealed an unknown secret.
Hu Butcher said: It's still the grandmaster who sees you old, but he doesn't care, and he gives it to you. Hu Butcher's words made Fan Jin's image of being untalented and cowardly, and dreaming of being an official every day became more prominent. But is this really the case?
Judging from the reactions of the people around him and Butcher Hu's words, Fan Jin is a dead reader who doesn't know how to be flexible. It took more than 30 years to pass a show, and this showman was not because of his talent, but because the teacher felt that he was too old to give a show, and he didn't want to ...... it
This is also the superficial description of "Fan Jinzhongju" in "The Outer History of Confucianism", why is it said to be superficial? In fact, there are some details in the story that prove that Fan Jin is not a person without talent. The reason why everyone thinks that Fan is in the nest is very important because when reading history books, anyone who can leave a few words in history is very talented.
For example, Zhang Juzheng was 16 years old when he was lifted; Yang Tinghe was 13 years old and won the ......With the foil of these people, people now think that it is very easy to take the exam, and Fan Jin is purely stupid. Although Xiucai belongs to the entry level in the ancient talent selection system, which is equivalent to an in-class test, it has surpassed most students in the in-class test to get a full score in the in-class test.
A genius like Zhang Juzheng is basically the kind of genius who belongs to the juvenile class now. Fan Jin is still a minority of geniuses, and more people are like Fan Jin, who are diligent and diligent through their own efforts, working towards their goals little by little. Many well-known figures in ancient times also failed to succeed after repeated failures.
So from here, Fan Jin is not a completely incapable person, and another thing that can prove Fan Jin's talent is that there is also a private school gentleman named Zhou Jin in "The History of Confucianism". Zhou Jin and Fan Jin have a lot of similarities and have tried and failed, so they became a private school teacher to make a living, and later donated a small official.
Fan Jin and Zhou Jin are compared like this, it seems that Fan Jin is more resilient and more worthy of admiration. In "The History of Confucianism", it is recorded that Zhou Jin's reaction when he saw Fan Jin's exam papers, at first, Mr. Zhou was very angry when he saw Fan Jin's exam papers, and felt that the writing was messy and he couldn't read it well.
At that time, Zhou Jin still felt that Fan Jin "deserved" for failing to try repeatedly. However, then the pen turned, and the author wrote again, I felt a little interesting after reading it for the second time, and Zhou Jin had to sigh after reading it for the third time, Fan Jin's article"The supreme text between heaven and earth is really a word and a pearl." Zhou Jin's evaluation is too high, and at this time, in Zhou Jin's eyes, Fan Jin's article is at the ceiling level.
It was precisely because of Zhou Jin's encouragement that Fan Jin successfully passed the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination in the later township examinations, and became a veritable lifter. And everyone knows the rest of the matter, Fan Jin was so happy that he went crazy after knowing that he was admitted to the lifter, so what happened to Fan Jin's result in the end?
Most people's understanding of the story of "Fan Jinzhongju" is that Fan Jin went crazy with joy after taking the exam. So many people lamented that Fan Jin spent half of his life to take the exam and won the exam, but who knew that he went crazy, and many people thought that Fan Jin would live a crazy life after that.
However, Fan Jin's so-called madness was just a momentary ecstasy after success, and soon Fan Jin returned to normalJust when Fan Jin was about to show his strength, his mother died, and in ancient times, children generally had to keep filial piety for three years when their parents died. In fact, Fan Jin's mother died before Fan Jin participated in the meeting, and Fan Jin participated in the meeting again after three years of worrying about his mother.
After Fan Jin's father-in-law learned that his son-in-law had been lifted, his attitude towards Fan Jin turned 180 degrees, but Fan Jin was lukewarm to this old father-in-law who had mocked him for decades. And Fan Jin is not an ungrateful villainAfter Ding Wei ended, the first thing Fan Jin did when he returned to the capital to prepare for the exam was to hand over a greeting sticker to his Bole Zhou Jin.
In ancient times, this was equivalent to telling the world that he was Zhou Jin's protégé, and Fan Jin lived up to expectations and passed round after round of selection. At that time, Fan Jin was nearly 60 years old, which was not young compared to other candidates in the same class, but his age and previous experience also brought Fan Jin a more calm sense of steadfastness than young people.
As Fan Jin did things in a down-to-earth manner, Fan Jin's political achievements were also seen by the emperor, and soon Fan Jin was appreciated, and finally rose all the way to Shandong to learn the Tao. It only took five years from passing the Jinshi exam to learning Taoism in Shandong.
When it comes to Fan Jin, many people feel that Fan Jin has nothing worth learning, and he is a sloppy and talented person with unrealistic ideas. Many people think that Fan Jin re-entered the envoy in his fifties because of bad luck. However, from the above analysis, it can be seen that Fan Jin is not a talented person.
In particular, Fan Jin has achieved Shandong Xuedao in only five years from an ordinary person, and Shandong Xuedao is equivalent to the current director of the Education Department of Shandong Province. In five years, he climbed up from the grassroots level to become the first person in charge of the education of the entire province in Shandong, even if a person like Zhang Juzheng who was admitted to the examination in his teens may not be able to do it.
How high is the gold content of Fan Jin's Shandong Taoism? Shandong is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and the so-called "thousand-year-old ritual music returns to Donglu, and the ancient clothes worship the king". It is not easy to fight a bloody way in this talent-rich Shandong Province.
Fan Jin didn't have any background to rely on, and he was still an old man in his fifties from an ordinary jinshiIt took five years to work all the way to Shandong to learn Taoism and focus on education in Shandong Province, and it can be seen from here that Fan Jin is not only talented but also capable.
It is worth mentioning that Fan Jin has been taking the exam for more than 30 years, and this insistence has also made many people unable to do it. Back then, Xu Xiake gave up after failing to pass the exam three or four times; Pu Songling was in his fifties when he wrote "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", and Pu Songling also failed the exam repeatedly. Fan Jin's persistence alone is enough for many people to learn.
Of course, there are thousands of ways to become a talent, although Xu Xiake repeatedly failed the exam, but in the end he became a geographer who traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and wrote the ...... towards the blue sea and the twilightHowever, Fan Jin's persistence in his goals is still worth learning from most people, and to this day, this spirit can allow anyone to succeed in their field.
