The main contents of the history of scholars

The Scholars describes some images of Confucian scholars who were deeply poisoned by the stereotyped imperial examination system, reflecting the corruption of the secular atmosphere at that time. For example, Zhou Jin and Jin Fan spent their whole lives trying to be jurors in the exam, but they didn't become scholars in the exam until their beards turned white. Although life is extremely difficult, I still remember the imperial examination.

Zhou Jin passed by an examination room and went in to watch. He touched the bitterness and pain of life and burst into tears. He was so sad that he died. Later, with the help of some small businessmen, I took the exam and won the sympathy of the examiner, so my luck changed. When he was recommended in the exam, all the people who laughed at him before flattered him and touted him as the most knowledgeable person.

Another example is Jin Fan, who is so poor that he takes an old hen to the market to sell. When he learned that he had won the bid, he was ecstatic and turned into a madman. Fortunately, his father-in-law, butcher Hu, slapped him and brought him back to his senses. At this time, the local squire and other prominent figures looked at him with new eyes. Some people sent houses and some property, and Jin Fan's life changed immediately.

Zhu Jingwei's 20 clay sculptures show the content of Confucianism for the first time. The characters are all lifelike, even revealing a strong Nanjing atmosphere.

A small part of Zhu Jingwei's large clay sculpture "The Scholars" shows Kuang's filial piety, good example and other plots. "I will continue to create and use more clay sculptures to show to scholars." After the completion of future creation, Zhu Jingwei will also find a big space to show the lively contents of The Scholars to the public.
