Asahina Tianshe lang, Twilight Tianzi Hall. There will be no seed in the picture, and the boy should be self-reliant. A few simple words are enough to see the importance of the ancient examination system for the entire social development. This examination system, which began in the Sui Dynasty, lasted for thousands of years in ancient Chinese society and was not abolished until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Although there are many drawbacks in the examination system, there are also countless talents selected from the examination system. Among the many years of the imperial examination, this list of jinshi in the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty jiayou is known as the most brilliant and cattle list in the millennium examination system.
The reason why this list has such a name is because the quality of the candidates in this year is too anti-heavenly: the influence of its students on future generations began in the field of literary thought, developed into politics, and even covered the military! So, some people are curious, who are the candidates in this class? In the second year of Jiayou, a total of 899 people were admitted to various subjects, including 388 jinshi. Among this group of people, there are more than a dozen people who have a huge impact on future generations, such as Su Shi, Su Rui, Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Lü Huiqing, Zhang Huan, and Wang Shao.
In particular, Su Shi, whose influence in the Song Dynasty and even in the Chinese historical and literary circles, is also a realm that ordinary poets cannot reach, even in modern times, and his fans are many. Therefore, Su Shi can definitely be regarded as a superstar in the Chinese literary circle. And Zeng Gong is also one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties that everyone is more familiar with, and this name alone is enough to see the status of this person in the literary circles of the Tang and Song dynasties.
Next, look at Zhang Zai, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi. Let's talk about the two brothers of the Cheng family first, as the great cattle of the Confucian teachings of the Song Dynasty, the impact of their two teachings on society is huge! For example, the "small matter of starvation and loss of control" that has influenced feudal society for hundreds of years is from their mouths! Although many descendants do not quite understand why such a doctrine was popular in ancient times, the influence of these two people on the Song Dynasty at that time was not to be underestimated. And Zhang Zai, he is definitely not just a simple Confucian thinker, his influence in military politics is also very large, such as the northern Song Dynasty famous general Seed Shidao is his disciple.
Lü Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Huan were all Wang Anshi's right-hand men's right-hand men when Wang Anshi changed the law later, and they can be said to have influenced the reformers of an era, although their reputation at that time was not very good, but their influence on the entire social development was also unusual. There is also this Wang Shao, who as a military division, commanded the Xihe Victory, which can be said to be the biggest victory in foreign military operations in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, and this victory successfully reversed the situation during the Northern Song Dynasty's battle against western Xia.
Such a few people with bull forks, actually all gathered on the list of a session, I have to say that God's arrangement is so willful. The reason why the students of the Song Dynasty would have such a different status in society than the students of other dynasties had a huge relationship with the unique way of ascending to the throne of Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin used a dragon robe to add his body, and easily seized the power of Later Zhou.
Although those who have become big things are informal, Zhao Kuangyin still has other ideas about his ascension. If he could borrow the hands of his military generals and successfully ascend the throne, then if his generals had learned from him, how could he sit on the throne with peace of mind in the future? Therefore, in the next cup of wine to release the military power, Zhao Kuangyin seized the power of the military generals without bloodshed. Moreover, in order not to have similar things in the future, the phenomenon of emphasizing literature and light weapons in the Song Dynasty was very serious, and the society as a whole presented a situation of "kings and scholars sharing the world".
However, there are two sides to everything. On the one hand, the Song Dynasty's heavy literature and light martial arts promoted the development of the Song Dynasty, and Wenzhi did indeed make the Song Dynasty present a social atmosphere different from other dynasties. However, on the other hand, it is precisely because of the Song Dynasty's suppression of military generals that the Song Dynasty was suppressed by neighboring countries everywhere in terms of military affairs. The Song Dynasty, which was unable to protect itself, even had the embarrassing situation that the entire imperial family was captured by the enemy army! From the encounters of the Song Dynasty, it can be seen that this governance of society still has to walk on two legs together, and wenzhi and wuzhi must be grasped!
