We often see some students who have passed the examination in costume film and television dramas, and look forward to being able to connect the three yuan. So what exactly is the triple element of the lianzhong.
"Lianzhong Sanyuan" is used to describe a situation in the ancient imperial examination, which means that in the process of taking the examination, a candidate won the first place in the three examinations of the township examination, the meeting examination and the temple examination, and successively obtained the "Xie yuan", "Huiyuan" and "Yuanyuan". This statement appeared roughly in the Song Dynasty. In the Imperial Examinations of the Song Dynasty and later, the readers first took the examinations in the county and the government, and those who passed the examinations were called "students", commonly known as "Xiucai". After passing the "show talent", it is considered to be qualified to take the official examination. Next, the first is to participate in the "township examination" held every three years under the auspices of the provincial government, also known as "Autumn Festival". This exam is held 3 times in a row, each for 3 days. In the township examination, it is called "lifting people". "Lifting people" will have the qualifications to become an official, and those who lift people have officially stepped into the class of earth doctors.
In March of the following year, those who passed the township examination participated in the "meeting test" and "temple test" in the Kyoshi. The examination is held by the Ministry of Rites at the Gongyuan, also known as the "Spring Festival", which is also 3 consecutive examinations, each 3 days, by Hanlin or cabinet university scholars. Those who pass the examination are called "Gongshi", and the first name of Gongshi is "Huiyuan". Gongshi "can participate in the next April "Temple Examination", which is the last level of the imperial examination, presided over and written by the emperor himself, and the ranking is determined, and the first name is Yuanyuan. Since the ancient saying: "Literature is not called the first, and wu is not called the second." Objectively speaking, it is indeed quite difficult to achieve "three yuan in the middle of the world" in the liberal arts examination.
This is a bit like our modern small ascension to the beginning of the national examination to take the title, the initial high school to take the national title, the college entrance examination to take the national title. However, unlike in ancient times, we are all compared with our peers, and there is no age limit in ancient scientific expeditions, down to one-year-old children and up to 80 years old. The difficulty can be imagined.
From the beginning of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the end of the Qing Dynasty, more than a thousand years of history, Chinese history has only appeared in 21 titles and the first, which can be said to be one in ten million chances.
The liberal arts triad has:
Zhang Youxin, Wu Yihuang, and Cui Yuanhan of the Tang Dynasty;
Sun He, Wang Zeng, Song Kuo, Yang Zhi, Wang Yansuo, and Feng Jing of the Song Dynasty;
Meng Songxian of the Jin Dynasty;
Wang Zongzhe of the Yuan Dynasty;
Huang Guan, Shang Yuan, and Li Qi of the Ming Dynasty;
Chen Xun, Qian Tang, and Chen Jichang of the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, there have been four "Wu Sanyuan" in history.
The first is Yin Feng during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Lian Zhongwuke Sanyuan, guanbai general, and Auxiliary Yu Dayu made many achievements in the war against the Wu in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang. The "Sanyuan Lane" in Nanjing is now preserved as a memorial.
The second is that during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli Dynasty, The King of Yongjia in Zhejiang Province was famous, and even the Zhongwu Branch was three yuan, and the official was awarded the Jinyi Wei Qianhu. He was knowledgeable about the history of the scriptures and the good works of poetry, and people at the time called his martial arts, poetry, and calligraphy "three absolutes". What is particularly commendable is his temperament, which is not flattering to the powerful, and has the style of a straight gentleman.
The third is during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and wang Yubi, who is also a Zhejiang native, and even zhongwuke sanyuan. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this person took the Wu Xiucai examination, was the first in archery, and was known as the "sharpshooter", so people praised him as "Wu Siyuan". Although he was born as a samurai, he did not have a hand, his writing was remarkable, and he was also known as an all-rounder of literature and martial arts.
The fourth is Gu Lin during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, who tried to solve the Yuan in The Qianlong Nongshen List Of Shuntianxiang, and later Lian Jie became the Yuan of the Jia Shu Branch. In September of the nineteenth year of Qianlong, Gu Lin also won the first place among hundreds of tributes in the world, Zhongwu Zhuangyuan, and was given the first class bodyguard.
Interestingly, these people who have been in the middle of the three yuan are not well known to everyone, but some people who have repeatedly fallen behind, such as the Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao, the medical scientist Li Shizhen, the novelist Wu Jingzi and so on.
