In our ancient China, the hierarchical differentiation of the various levels was very clear, you are noble, your children are nobles, you are commoners, your children are commoners, and the one-handed hereditary system makes the nobles very happy.
However, in the past dynasties, it was not entirely the court of the nobility, otherwise it would not have been directly overthrown. At that time, if the commoners wanted to become nobles, then you needed to have enough value.
This value is reflected in different forms in different dynasties, for example, in the Warring States period, it was generally based on the military, such as how many people were defeated, or how to lead the subordinates, which were all military feats.
Later, after the emergence of the imperial examination system, especially in the later stable time, the imperial examination became the best way for peasant children to become aristocrats.
In the books, we have all learned such a story Fan Jin Zhongju, in ancient times, if you want to get a meritorious name is more difficult. If you can take the meritorious name, this is a matter of honoring the ancestors.
In order to be able to achieve such a point, Fan Jin would continue to take the imperial examination. When Fan Jin was 50 years old, after his unremitting efforts, he was admitted to Xiucai.
Because of this, he was able to usher in the day of the middle lift. The reason why he went crazy after learning the news of Zhongju was largely related to the fact that he had always held great expectations for Zhongju.
Because the expectations are too high, and the results he has always received are disappointing, so when he is not disappointed suddenly, he is prone to become a little insane in a short period of time because he is too excited.
Fortunately, he was woken up by his butcher father-in-law's big mouth and returned to normal. However, the misfortune of happiness depended on his mother, after knowing that her son had finally been lifted, she was strong and excited, but the old man was originally weak and sick, and he was so excited that he died, and Fan Jin kept filial piety for his mother for three years in order to fulfill filial piety.
In the past three years, Fan Jin's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, he moved to a new house sent by Zhang Xiangsheng, the neighbors sent rice to send noodles, and two sons took the initiative to sell themselves as slaves.
In the process of keeping filial piety, Fan Jin incidentally gave the jinshi also an examination. When the imperial court looked at it, eh, a good talent, there was ink in his belly and filial piety in his heart, he was a good talent, and then he was named an official of sipin, and at this time, Fan Jin came to the end, and it was also the time when he was truly prosperous and rich.
And now when we watch "Fan Jin Zhongju", it is actually a smile, and after watching it, it is gone. But to be honest, Fan Jin's perseverance spirit is still worth learning.
