Why do you call yourself a poor scholar and a rich juren?

Scholar is the reputation of the last saint to promote talents in modern feudal society in China. Now people still often use this title to label some talented people.

Speaking of scholars, we have to mention Jia Yi, the first scholar in the history of China. Jia Yi was famous for being good at writing articles at the age of eighteen. Later, it was recommended by the county magistrate from other places. The young man was promoted to an official with nothing to do. His life is also legendary, and the first half of his life was highly valued. In the second half of his life, he was instigated by a gentleman, and died because his sand was pregnant with Liang Wang and fell off a horse. He died of depression at the age of 33.

Okay, let's get down to business.

In ancient times, there was a saying that "scholars, farmers and businessmen". Although there is no difference in ranking, more people feel that since scholars rank first, they naturally have the highest status, so there is a saying that "everything is worse than reading." Of course, the so-called high-level learning is not only high in learning, but more practical: the return obtained through learning is far higher than that of other industries.

Once you become a scholar, it can be seen that the official does not kneel down, but you can also pay a lot of money, avoid the group's agricultural money and corvee, and of course you can also be a teacher in a private school. Well, one more thing, there is great potential. One day, it will be "unknown for ten years and stir the whole country" (so in ancient times, even robbers rarely robbed scholars).

But scholars need to buy books, calligraphy, paper and inkstones, and older people have to support their families. Those meager benefits are nothing. If a scholar or a small official of a large family is a scholar, he can naturally "listen to things outside the window and concentrate on reading sage books." But most scholars are not like this.

In the Sui Dynasty, the system of selecting officials used to be "Imperial Examination System" and "Nine Grades System", that is to say, you should not only be talented, but also be famous. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a saying that "the younger generation of the giants did not advance", and the gentry was the largest.

After the opening of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty, it gave the younger generation of rich families the opportunity to study and be an official. Therefore, the way each group learns is very complicated, and there is a family for one person to learn. Therefore, most of these people have passed the scholar exam for most of their lives, and it is extremely difficult to get a candidate in the exam. The capital is not as good as the younger generation trained by various races, and their learning nature is not as good as theirs, unless they are natural talents, that is, Lv Mengzheng, the champion of the Northern Song Dynasty (as I said in my last article, therefore, there are few officials in the giants. Those giants who have been admitted to the scholar but failed to continue to take the exam are naturally called "poor scholars" because they live a poor life.

However, the word "poor scholar" was only serious in the middle and late period of the imperial examination system, that is, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (I heard that there was another saying in the Ming Dynasty that "an ugly person should not be an official", but I don't know if it is true or not. Most of the officials who reformed in the Ming Dynasty were highly valued, especially Zhang, whose beard was published in Ming History.

Because in the Sui Dynasty and Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, scholars were the most important subjects. At that time, scholars were knowledgeable, talented, knowledgeable and correct in decision-making, while there were no more than ten scholars in Sui Dynasty.

As the saying goes, "things are rare", during the Sui Dynasty, scholars had to hold high positions and hold official positions.

Speaking of scholars in the Sui Dynasty, here is a short story to share with you:

It is said that when Emperor Wendi was in Sui Dynasty, there was a candidate named Du, who was brilliant and knowledgeable, and his brothers were also very wise (with good genes). At the end of the year, they are weak, arguing with the text, and the name is three rivers. When he was in the exam, as long as he was a group (a scholar was difficult to take the exam, so he was the only one who signed up), the articles he wrote were as fast as god and as delicious as wax. The invigilator read his article and thought it was well written, so he gave him a scholar. When the clinker was reported, it was stopped by Shangguan. Since ancient times, scholars have despised each other, and servants have shot Su Yang (a famous minister in Sui Dynasty), so they are arrogant. He thinks it's so difficult for a scholar to take the exam, and it's ridiculous that he is the only one who signed up and passed the exam. Therefore, the examiner thought it was a pity to throw his test paper aside, and he praised Du as a group. Su Yang was full of energy, so he made it clear that he would take the exam himself and let him use the style of the ancients. Du Yi clinker, just nodded and did it overnight. Both speed and writing are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Su Yang read his article, praised and said, "This is really a scholar, beyond my reach", and recommended him to be an official.

In other words, a truly talented scholar was like glittering gold in ancient times. Some people appreciate being an official, not to mention being rich, but also eating and drinking.

Those who were lucky enough to be admitted to the scholar have made little achievements since then, and the sour Confucianism who has been "indifferent" all his life has been called "poor scholar" by others.

As for the "rich juren", everyone should know it. Once you become a juren, you can be a parent and get paid. If your moral character is not so upright and you can make some money, there will naturally be no such thing as a poor juren. Therefore, Jin Fan will be very happy when he learns that he has arrived. .

As for the poor scholar, it is about people like Lv Xiucai in The Legend of Wulin:

Car accident, blindness,

He was blind because of a car accident and never knew what his girlfriend looked like. That year, she got stomach cancer and transplanted her cornea to him before she died. The first thing he did after he regained his sight was to look for her photo. However, he only found a letter she left him. There is a blank photo in the letter, which reads: "Don't think about what I look like. The next person you love is me. "
