How old is the ancient champion?

Seeing this topic, a scholar named Lu in the Tang Dynasty was probably going to laugh, or was it a drunken smile: How big is the official? I can't afford to drink. How big an official do you think I can be when I am the number one scholar?

Yes, not every champion can be a big official, and not every champion has a bright future.

Although there are many more champions who can be big officials than others, there are still many who are unknown, unknown and frustrated all their lives.

Today, let's talk about the champion lang, and see what conditions he needs, what work he will do, and what famous champions and wonderful champions there are in history.

1, how was the champion tempered?

It is too difficult to be a top scholar. In the whole history of China, the first champion was Sun of the period, and the last champion was 1904.

During the whole period of 1282, there were 508 writers in China's unified dynasty, and there were 656 writers in Liao, Jin, Xixia, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Daxi, Five Dynasties and Ten Countries.

This 656 people 1282, one in two years or so.

Look at this probability, it is much more difficult than buying 5 million in the lottery now.

At that time, if you wanted to be a top scholar, you had to go through many tests.

1, scholar

This is the first level. Your father wants you to be a top scholar. The first is to train you to learn from an early age.

As a result, a group of poor students brushed off, and a group of poor students who couldn't afford to go to school also brushed off. Zhu Yuanzhang can only herd cattle like that.

If you study well, your family can provide you with schooling. If you want to continue studying, you must pass the first level: taking the children's exam.

This is the first big test for scholars. It takes three years and two exams. Mishima passes through:

County test, government test and university test.

Mishima Pass, after the first two passes, is called Tong Sheng, and after the third pass, it has its official name: Scholar.

Many people have a headache when they see this place. God, is it so difficult to take an examination of a scholar?

Of course, when you become a scholar, you can call it a scholar. The government gives preferential treatment and does not pay taxes. Don't kneel when you see the county magistrate. There are weddings and funerals in and out of the village. It is very important to write a couplet and an explanation.

The scholar is not an official, but he has great respect for the scholar. To put it bluntly, this is a rural intellectual.

Just for the name of such a scholar, some people, with white beard, still failed the exam. There are even grandparents and grandchildren who take the scholar exam together, and fathers and sons take the scholar exam together.

When you become a scholar, you will be qualified to be an official.

At this time, if you are an adult, your parents won't let you work at home, your brothers will let you and your wife's innocent girl add fragrance to your tea, and everything looks happy.

However, at this moment, your heart will not be too relaxed, because everyone's meaning is very clear, continue to refuel and take the exam.

Step 2 lift people

If you are lucky enough to be a scholar, man, you will spend the rest of your life taking exams, because no one wants to be a "semi-finished product" and neither will your family.

Taking the juren exam is called "after having obtained a local exam". You are too eager to take the exam.

Don't worry, brother, maybe you will trip. Have you noticed how many people fell on the road after taking the provincial exam? Jin Fan, who won the jury, is a madman.

You need to calm down, you need Qi Xin to work together to make arrangements, and you need to adjust your mood. Once you get promoted, your life will be completely changed. You can be an official from now on.

However, this "provincial examination" is held every three years. If you fail once, you have to wait for three years. If you fail twice, you have to wait six years. The first place in the provincial examination is "Xie Yuan".

Tired, but you have no choice. You have to cross the wooden bridge if you want to break your head.

However, it is only a good wish of scholars, because most people will fall into Sun Shan, because it is much more difficult than children's exams.

If you are lucky, you will be killed and become a juren. Then, people call you sir everywhere. Everyone in the village talks to you with their heads down. Old people and brothers are outside all day, and some cows can be blown.

And the wife's sense of crisis has also come, because you have a salary and don't pay taxes, you can support your family, and you can't say that you want to have a mistress. However, compared with official officials, the salary of juren is still much less.

However, don't think that winning the lottery will definitely make you an official, not necessarily, but it is possible.

If the officials you know appreciate you, you can be an official. If your family is well connected, you can also be an official. Or, you can go to your area to recruit civil servants from juries.

Juren can generally be an official of the 89 th grade.

Zuo was an important official in Qing dynasty. He was trapped in juren all his life and never knocked on the door of Jinshi. Unless he is really talented and supported by noble people, he can't get on.

3, Jinshi and champion

Well, you're a juror, too. Next, you can make a final attempt and participate in the "meeting test".

This is a national examination, which admits more than 300 students a year. As long as you pass the exam, congratulations, you are Gong.

Some people say that Gong is a scholar? No, there is a "court exam" between them.

When you become Gong, your life will be safe, just wait for the court exam.

In principle, the imperial examination is given by the emperor himself. That is to choose the ultimate talent for yourself! However, the reality is different. The court examination was drafted by the cabinet and then submitted to the emperor for selection.

In other words, the emperor's boss can make a multiple-choice question, just choose an examination question and you can start!

After the palace exam, it will be ranked.

Generally speaking, after the Northern Song Dynasty, all palace officials who took court examinations could become Jinshi.

However, the result of the imperial examination does not determine whether he is the top scholar, because he must pass the emperor's examination.

The final champion, the second place and the flower detective were all appointed by the emperor. Perhaps, the emperor recognized the top three according to the results reported by the minister; Perhaps, the emperor will order who looks pleasing to the eye; Perhaps, the emperor just looked at the name of the Jinshi and chose the top scholar.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang once dreamed that a man named Ding became the top scholar, and when he woke up, he chose a man named Ding as the top scholar.

Emperor Qianlong, because a man named "Hu Changling" thought his morality was very good, he chose the champion.

In a word, a person will experience many obstacles if he wants to be a top scholar.

Just like many famous people in history, they have no talent to say, but they are still far from being the top scholar, and they are not even Jinshi.

Like Li Bai and Du Fu, they did not reach the highest level of their studies. People like Zuo are not even Jinshi, where can they argue?

When you become the top scholar, will you be a big official?

Not necessarily, there are many parallel imports among top scholars, and mediocre people are also a laundry list. Writing stereotyped writing is very organized, and being an official has many shortcomings.

When you become the top scholar, the officials of the official department immediately took action and began to arrange work, either edited by imperial academy, or served as a doctor, or was in charge of national history, or taught by the emperor. In short, they became officials in Beijing.

At the beginning of the champion, these banned officials were generally in grade six and grade seven. Their official position is not high, but their unit is eye-catching, and they often deal with big shots.

After the official seal for the first time, from then on, it depends on personal nature, first, on ability, second, on connections, and third, on the appreciation of the emperor.

These three will really determine the future.

Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. Among the top scholars in the Tang Dynasty 148, more than 20 were able to achieve the rank of minister and prime minister, but most of them failed to reach the high position.

As for other unified dynasties, the number of top scholars who can be senior officials is limited.

From the early Tang Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, only a dozen of the 656 top scholars, such as Wang Wei, Liu Gongquan, He, Wen Tianxiang, Yang Shen, Weng Tong _, Zhang Jian, etc. Can be an amazing genius.

However, although most of the top scholars can't reach senior officials, there are still many top scholars in the second and third grades.

Among these top scholars, Shi Peng was promoted the fastest in the Ming Dynasty, and then the Civil Fort incident happened. Because of the lack of officials, he jumped from the top seven to the top of the Ministry of War, which was the fastest promotion among all the top scholars.

The fastest promotion doesn't mean the most stable position. Due to incompetence, he was quickly reduced from a first-class official to a fifth-class official.

After the disaster, Zhu Qizhen returned to the upper position, and those who were reused by Zhu Qiyu were demoted or dismissed, while Shi Peng was demoted by Zhu Qiyu, so he was appointed Minister of War by Zhu Qizhen. Life is full of joys and sorrows. This roller coaster trip made Uncle Han jumpy.

As mentioned earlier, Lu, the down-and-out scholar in the Tang Dynasty, was addicted to the things in the cup for a long time because of his low official position, and finally he couldn't even afford to drink wine.

What kind of officials does the court need?

You need ambitious goals, good flexibility and persistence, flexible work and the right people to deal with interpersonal relationships. Some top scholars, who are arrogant and pedantic, cling to the words of saints and only learn mechanically, actually make a mess of things.

Therefore, the development of the top scholar is not to let all senior officials sit down, nor to let people choose candidates. Excellence is only part of it.

In short, when you become the number one scholar, you only get a ticket to the top, but whether you can enter the cabinet or keep records depends on your own luck.

Therefore, the starting point for the top scholar to be an official is about six levels, and the end point is a first-level official.

However, there are also state-owned destinations. There was a scholar named Li in Xixia, the only scholar, who later became the king of Xixia. This is an example.

In fact, the number one scholar is the same as today's students. If you are not from a prestigious school, you will definitely make a difference. It is not that the higher the culture, the greater the contribution and achievement.

3. Those champions with outstanding characteristics.

The top champions in history also have their own characteristics. Let's look at one or two.

One, even three yuan.

In the tide of history, only the first solution after having obtained the provincial examination, the first meeting after having obtained the provincial examination, and the first scholar in palace examination. There are 14 such people, and it takes almost a hundred years to produce one.

In the Tang dynasty, there were two people who connected the three elements: Zhang and Cui; There were six people in Song Dynasty: Sun He, Wang Zeng, Song Cong, Yang Zhi, Wang Ruocuo and Feng Jing. There were 1: Meng Songxian in Jin Dynasty and 1: Wang Zongzhe in Yuan Dynasty; There were two in the Ming Dynasty: Huang Guan and Shang Lu, and two in the Qing Dynasty: Qian Ming and Chen Jichang.

Second, when the number one scholar Xu.

Many people watch too many TV novels, and think that the number one scholar Lang will probably get married.

In fact, hundreds of top scholars married the emperor's daughter, and only one became Xu. He is Zheng Hao, the champion in the second year of Datang Huichang. After seven years as an official, he was recommended by the prime minister to Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and married Princess Wanshou.

Third, the only female champion

There was no female champion in the unified dynasty, but there was a female champion named Fu Shanxiang under the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom system.

1853, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom opened a women's scientific examination, and Fu Girl won the first prize, which was the only female first prize in history.

However, after the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this woman also disappeared. It is estimated that she was anonymous and started a new life.

Fourth, the situation of Wu Zhuangyuan and the one who became prime minister.

In history, all dynasties were dominated by literary champions, but there were also many times when Wu champions were chosen. There was 185 champion Wu in history.

The champion of martial arts does not form a sustainable system choice like the champion of literature. According to different dynasties, the degree of attention is different. In the Qing Dynasty, there were more martial arts champions, but not many in other dynasties, which reflected that the attention paid to martial arts champions was not enough.

Guo Ziyi is undoubtedly the best among the top martial artists. He entered the official career because of the top martial arts champion, and later made great contributions and finally became prime minister. This is the only example in which Wu Zhuangyuan became prime minister.

Fifth, the first and last champion.

The first scholar in history was Sun in the Tang Dynasty.

This person won the first prize in 622, and later participated in the change of Xuanwu Gate, holding his thighs very accurately.

Later, his official career was prosperous, he served as assistant minister of the household department, worshipped the secretary of Dali Temple, and served as the secretariat of Shaanxi Province. It can be seen that this scholar Lang finally became a provincial official and did a good job. He died in 658 AD.

The last scholar in history was Liu Chunlin of the Qing Dynasty. He is the scholar Lang in 1904. Shortly after he became a scholar, he was sent to Japanese public schools to study and returned three years later. He used to be a member of the Advisory Committee, a registered scholar in Fujian, a supervisor of Zhili Law and Politics School, and an inspector of Beiyang Normal School.

Four years later, with the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Zhuangyuan became an official of Yuan Shikai's government. Later, he worked in Beiyang government for a long time and served as the director of the education department of Zhili Province of Beiyang government. Xu Shichang admired him very much.

Under the protection of Xu Shichang, he presided over Confucius Dacheng Festival twice, and his reputation resounded throughout China.

Liu Zhuangyuan is a master of calligraphy, but he also has a strong patriotic plot. When Japan established the Puppet Manchukuo, he was invited to be "Minister of Education of Manchukuo" and "Mayor of Beiping", but he refused.

1944, Liu Chunlin, the last champion, died, and there was no champion in China since then.

Back to the beginning, how big can the champion be?

When I first entered the official career, I looked at my destiny from the perspective of a six-product official. Maybe it's a mansion of one grade, maybe it's a mansion of two or three grades, maybe it's four or five grades all the year round, maybe it's always from six grades.

How big an official he can be is not determined by the title of "number one scholar", but by his ability and development, and perhaps a little luck in it.
