Which famous article attacking the ancient employment system was written by Chaplin in Han Dynasty?

Chaplin is a master of humor in modern times, and there was also a master of humor in Han Dynasty, who was called "the king of funny". This man is not only outstanding in literary talent, but also very talented.

It's just a pity that he failed to achieve political success in his life, so he was unhappy.

He is an attendant of the emperor and a writer. He wrote an article to express his talent, called "Difficult to Answer a Guest".

This man is Dong Fangshuo, a famous figure in the Western Han Dynasty.

Dong Fangshuo was a figure in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was retained by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty because of his humor, and used his jokes to relieve the work pressure for Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.

It was an honor to be around the emperor, but Dong Fangshuo was not satisfied with it. Dong Fangshuo is a very talented person. He once made a political statement to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, stating the truth of "strengthening the country through agricultural warfare".

But I didn't expect that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regarded his remarks as a joke, still regarded him as "excellent" and denied him political status.

Therefore, Dong Fangshuo was resentful, so he wrote an article "Difficult to Answer a Guest" to express his dissatisfaction with his talent.

Answering questions did not shake off Dong Fangshuo's humorous style. Dong Fangshuo compared the famous figures in history with his own situation, and finally expressed his dissatisfaction with the feudal rulers who arranged talents according to their own wishes.

This article can be regarded as an attack on the employment system in feudal times.

China was ruled by aristocrats in ancient times. In the middle and late Warring States period, due to the needs of wars in various countries, a large number of civilian elites began to enter politics, which formed the so-called scholar-bureaucrat class.

In the Han Dynasty, in order to select outstanding talents at the grassroots level, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty often summoned some famous figures in the palace, and gradually formed a system, namely the famous "filial piety" system in the Han Dynasty.

Dong Fangshuo was an early beneficiary of this recommendation system.

However, this system of advocating honesty later exposed its huge defects and became a tool for aristocratic families to seize power.

It was not until the imperial examination system appeared that the political monopoly of aristocratic families was broken, and China entered the era of professional bureaucracy.

With Dong Fangshuo's talent, if he was born after the Song Dynasty, he would probably become a scholar and a real official with real power.

Therefore, compared with the underachievers in the pre-Qin period, Dong Fangshuo was lucky. However, compared with those who can rely on the imperial examination to enter the official career after the Song Dynasty, it is very unfortunate.

As the saying goes, "Feng Tang is easy to get old, Li Guang is hard to get old", and everyone's age is doomed to the situation he will face, which Dong Fangshuo cannot change.

As a helpless scholar, in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was impossible for him to become an official by military achievements. He can only use articles such as Answering the Guest to relieve his melancholy.
