What's the difference between champion, champion and champion? What is the origin?

According to Zhao Yi's "Examination of Jade Cong" in Qing Dynasty, from the Ming Dynasty, \x0d\ champion refers to the first place in palace examination, \x0d\ second place refers to the second place, and \x0d\ flower detective refers to the third place. \ x0d \ champion was the first in the ancient imperial examinations in China-palace examination Jinshi. It turned out that after the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, the examiner had to hand over the admission files to the province under the door, and then the province under the door wrote a complaint and reported it to the emperor for approval. The first name in this complaint was then called "Zhuangtou". This is a special term used by court officials in their daily work. Later, people thought "Zhuangtou" was too indecent, so they renamed it "No.1 Scholar" \ x0d \ x0d \ The second place was the name of palace examination, who won the second place in the imperial examination in ancient China. The title of "second place" is later than that of "champion", but this title did not exist in the Tang Dynasty. \ x0d \ x0d \ In fact, the name "No.2", like "No.1 scholar" and "flower exploration", is a folk idiom, not an official one. On the gold list officially issued by the imperial court, only Jinshi No.1 ranked first, No.1 ranked second and No.1 ranked third. \ x0d \ x0d "Exploring Flowers" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but at that time it didn't mean that palace examination was the third scholar. It was just a joke and had nothing to do with ranking first.
