The ancients were more happy than Zhongzhuangyuan when they were in Tanhua? There was an unwritten "rule"
As we all know, in ancient times, workers, peasants, and merchants had no social status, and only those who read books and those who were officials were the most respected people. And to be an official, in addition to the official positions of hereditary ancestors, is mainly to become an official through the imperial examination. In ancient times, there were many people who had been reading hard for decades in order to win the title of the gold list. Everyone still remembers the story of Fan Jinzhongju, Fan Jinzhong lifted people who were so happy that they were crazy, you can imagine how difficult it is to lift people. In fact, many people don't know that the ancient people were more happy than the Middle Zhuangyuan.
Usually, after passing the college examination, candidates can get the talent qualification, which is the minimum threshold for entering the scholar-doctor class, which is equivalent to our current undergraduate students. Becoming a talent means having a meritorious name, being respected in the local area, and having some privileges. For example, they are exempt from errands, they do not have to kneel when they see Zhi County, and Zhi County cannot use torture at will. But what should be said is that Xiucai is not a civil servant, it is only equivalent to obtaining the qualification to be able to take the civil service examination, so if Xiucai wants to become a formal civil servant of the state, he can go to the provincial city to take the first level examination of the ancient civil servants: the township examination.
These three words are actually equivalent to our current champion, runner-up and third-place, so it is obvious that in ancient times, it was a great thing to be able to obtain the title. However, in addition to having a certain strength, the position of Tanhua must also be handsome enough. From here we can also see that in ancient times, most of these people were appearance associations, because their requirements for appearance are also very high, in general, if they are in the middle of the tanhua, then not only have a certain strength and ability, but also a handsome face, will also be used by the emperor of the imperial court and some ministers.
In this way, people are happier to be able to get a conversation than to get a title, because at that time Tanhua will be more importantly used, but is this statement correct? With the following facts illustrated, such a statement is also very likely.
In general, people who get the title will basically be selected as a donkey in the end, but this is only in most cases, of course, there are some people who have not been selected as a donkey, and those who can get the title will basically enter the Hanlin Temple. Many high-ranking officials in the imperial court came out of the Hanlin Academy, so if they could enter the Hanlin Academy, then the days to come would surely soar.
For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Pang Tong was originally working under Zhou Yu, but after Zhou Yu's death, Sun Quan refused to use Pang Tong because he was too ugly to think that he would not have any talent. In desperation, Pang Tong had to apply for a job at Liu Bei, and as a result, Liu Bei also thought he was ugly and reluctantly let him make a county order. It was not until Liu Bei discovered Pang Tong's true talent that he began to reuse him.
Another example is the Tang Dynasty's Huang Chao, Huang Chao was originally very talented and could enter the army in high school, but when the palace examination was taken, the emperor thought he was too ugly and deprived him of his qualifications. Therefore, Huang Chao held a grudge in his heart and rebelled in anger. This shows how much appearance affects a person's future.
According to our logic, the ranking is definitely the better, but in ancient times, many people hoped that they could find the flowers instead of the yuan, and some people who won the flowers were extremely happy, even happier than the champions, why is this so? Everyone may feel unbelievable to say it, because in the ancient imperial examination, it is not only necessary to look at the ability to learn, but also to look at the appearance. The appearance requirements of Tanhua are relatively high, so Tanhua can be said to be an affirmation of both ability and appearance. I didn't expect that the ancients also looked at the face.
Therefore, if a person wins the Tanhua, it means that the person's appearance has been recognized by the emperor and the ministers. A pleasing person will always get more favoritism, and many ministers may choose him as their son-in-law, and many people will be co-opted, and even the emperor will say a few more words to him. Such a person's future is unlimited, can he not be happy.
