In this modern society, everyone has to go through the baptism of the college entrance examination, which is like crossing a single-plank bridge with thousands of troopsGet the first prize and get into a prestigious school, it is not an exaggeration to say that the ancestral tomb is smoking.
However, under the imperial examination system in ancient societies,The career of a scholar is even more difficult, and the one who can stand out in the palace examination must be the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks.
Under the imperial examination system,The champion is the first, and the flower is the second, but what few people know is that the gold content of this Tanhualang is much more sincere than that of Zhuangyuanlang, what is going on here?
— The process of the imperial examination system —
It is said that in ancient times, when the list was released every year, the happiest thing was not the champion we took for granted, on the contraryTanhua is even happier than the champion.
To understand the rules, we must first understand ChinaThe imperial examination system in ancient timesHow it works.
The imperial examination system is actually the standard system for electing talents in ancient ChinaTo talk about our current college entrance examination systemIn fact, the ancestors were the ancient imperial examination system.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the clan of the gate lords was powerfulThe Shu landlords slowly roseDuring the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the Jinshi Branch was pioneered, and the prototype of the imperial examination system was produced, and in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was further improved and clarified.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty was the imperial examination systemA critical period for prosperityThe emperors of the Tang Dynasty standardized the assessment content, assessment form and assessment process of the imperial examination system to varying degrees.
In terms of the content of the assessment, the existence of the imperial examination system still serves the development of centralization, and in the context of such an era, there is no doubt that Confucianism isThe best medicine for the situation.
Therefore, the assessment content of the imperial examination system is also mainIt revolves around Confucian scriptures, the person who participates in the assessment will get a question of the "Four Books" sentence during the exam, and the content is required to be completed within a time limit in the article format of the "Eight Strands", and all the explanations involved are subject to Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books".
Some people will say, "It's so simple, just memorize those Confucian works upside down, won't you be able to come out on top?" In fact, it is not, taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, itsThe subjects assessed are very diverseIt mainly includes the Ming Jing (Jingyi), Ming Law (Law), Ming Arithmetic (Arithmetic) and the First History, the Third History and other subjects.
In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system was further improved, the Ming Jing that was simply examined and memorized was abolished, and the content of the examination was reformedCombined with the current policy of statecraft, candidates are also required to present unique solutions to the statecraft issues raised in the questionnaire.
Therefore,The difficulty of the imperial examination has also skyrocketedIt would be nonsense to want to rely on simple recitation to fight a bloody way among a group of heroes.
In addition, it is different from today's college entrance examination "seeing the high and low at the moment".If you want to survive in the imperial examinationIt was a veritable protracted battle, and a candidate had to go through a total of four selections, large and small, to get through.
This first assessment is the children's testIt includes three stages: county examination, government examination and hospital examinationCandidates need to go through three layers of selection before they can be counted as successfully passing the college examination and obtaining the qualification of Xiucai.
If we heardSomeone is taking the "child" test,I must think that he is very young at the first time, but in fact, it is not, the children's examination does not limit the age of the candidates, and some people who have been over half a hundred years old and have failed to pass the test many times, even if they are already a lot of age, they have to struggle with the water and fire of the children's examination.
If you pass the children's test, you will go to the township testThe township examination is held in the capital in the autumn and August of every three years, the person in the examination is called the lifter, and the well-known "Fan Jinzhongju" corresponds to the township test.
Further, the examination is held in the spring of every three years in the capitalTherefore, it is also called "spring skull".After the examination, the standards were gradually relaxed, and in the end, only 300 tributes were admitted, of which the first place was called Huiyuan.
Finally, there is the palace examination, in the palace examination, the emperor will personally ask the candidates, and it is also quite a test of the candidates' on-the-spot reactions, the palace examinationThe first place is the famous champion, the second place is called Bangyan, and the third place is called Tanhua.
But what is puzzling is that the people who get the tanhua are often happier than the champions, what is going on?
In fact, in the early days of the imperial examination system,In the first list, there are only champions and leaders, there is no figure of Tanhua, as for why the name of Tanhua will be put back on the agenda, this has to start with a banquet.
The ancient system of electing officials was different from ours today, and modern people were hereAchieved good results in the college entrance examination, that means you will enter a prestigious university, but it does not mean that you will necessarily have a good job.
Most of these who have achieved good results in the palace examination are talents who will work for the emperor in the future, so we say that the imperial examination system is actually an official selection system, if you can stand out in the imperial examination system, thenIt's not just fame and fortune that comes with it, of course, there is also monstrous power and a green career.
In the spring, the emperor wanted to use a banquet to reward Jinshi talents, and also to attract talents for his subsequent political career, so he didA "apricot blossom banquet" was held.
Halfway through the banquet, the emperor suddenlyI want to chant poetry to help the fun, Fortunately, the talented people who participated in the banquet were all the best in the imperial examination, and naturally the writing skills would not be bad.
One of them suddenly took advantage of the excitement to go to the garden to fold a branch of apricot blossom poetry, and later in the banquet, everyone will specially select a person to fold the flower as a gift, this person willHe is called the "Flower Explorer".
It is said that beautiful scenery and beauty are the best match, therefore, to be a person who wants to explore flowers, he must not only have the ability to have extraordinary poetry, but also his appearance, figure and temperament must also be extraordinary, so to speakIt is a perfect talent with both virtue and art
With the spread of the custom of choosing to explore flowers every year,Tanhua also began to be added to the first list, set as the third place in the results of the palace examination.
Speaking of which, everyone also understands that the annual Tanhualang is not only an affirmation of his knowledge reserves, but also a handsome figure among the players, even if it isHis intellectual ability is not as good as that of the champion, but the appearance and temperament of the people are unique, and they are not much worse than the champion in general.
It's good to explore flowers, but why do we say that the limelight is more beautiful than the champion?
In fact, in ancient China,Tanhualang has a good imageIt is everyone's consensus, and after the list is released every year, the outstanding advantages of Tanhua are gradually revealed.
First of all, when the list is released every year, it isAn excellent time to catch a son-in-law under the list of dignitaries, If you can find a good marriage, and then Qingyun's career will have the blessing of other powers, is it still difficult to walk?
Secondly, after all, these imperial examination talents are all to do things for the emperor, and naturally they have to deal with the emperor, if the emperor sees that you are extraordinary, not only in governing the country has his own opinions,There are also outstanding points in terms of conversation, in terms of impression, it will be a big plus, and you are worried that you will not be able to mix the so-called champion Lang in the future?
We know it** and Shen during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, it is Tanhualang's background.
It is said that this Washen is seven feet tallTall and burly in appearance, extremely handsome and handsome, he was originally just a third-class guard, and after being fortunate to be seen by Qianlong, he soon ushered in the spring of his career.
It is said that everyone has a love for beauty, let alone the king of a country? After all, the champion and Tanhua are both knowledgeable, and this Tanhua is handsome, so let's stop thereIt's a beautiful picture, It's so comfortable to get along, how can it not be reused?
Therefore, He Kun can be said to have been hanging all the way, from a small third-class guard all the way up, and finally to important positions such as household books, which can be described as"Under one person, above ten thousand",Among them, the blessings brought by his appearance are also indispensable.
Now that I think about it,"Looking at faces" is really not popular in modern societyAs early as ancient times, the ancestors attached great importance to a person's appearance and image.
However, rather than looking at the face, we should actually understand it as an assessment of the image, like the current UGC assessment and public ***The management of personal image cannot be neglected.
Of course, we tooTanhualang's strength cannot be ignoredIn the face of absolute strength, the appearance image is just the finishing touch.
