The imperial examination system, which began in the Sui Dynasty, as a relatively fair way for ordinary people to embark on a career path, lasted for more than a thousand years, very similar to today's civil service examinations.
This kind of examination system has a large number of participants, often producing one, two or three, that is, the so-called champions, list eyes and tanhua, as the best answers in many examinations, the most concerned by the world, which is quite similar to today's college entrance examination. The Qing Dynasty, as the last feudal dynasty in China, also used the imperial examination to recruit talents, and the last leader selected by this system will be talked to you today.
Liu Chunlin (Chinese: 刘春霖; pinyin: Līng Chunlin, also spelled Runqin), was a jiachen sect named by Empress Dowager Cixi, and was jointly praised by later generations with the well-known calligrapher Yan Zhenqing: "Da Kai Xue Yan, Xiao Kai Xue Liu".
It is conceivable that Liu Chunlin's characters should be so beautiful, and Empress Dowager Cixi at that time was because she heard Liu Chunlin's name and saw his examination papers, so she hand-picked him as a champion, so Liu Chunlin's examination papers were also preserved.
Liu Chunlin's words are for the script, the following picture, everyone feel it for themselves.
Don't think that this is printed by the printer, this is indeed really can no longer be really Liu Chunlin's handwriting.
Liu Chunlin's family has been farmers for generations, and life is very difficult, but he has been very studious since he was a child, and he entered the Lotus Pond Academy to study very contentiously, and was deeply appreciated by Wu Rulun (a literary scholar of the late Qing Dynasty), the head of the Lotus Pond Academy.
Until the thirty years of Guangxu, Liu Chunlin won the title, and because the Qing Dynasty at that time was already in a situation of internal and external troubles, the Guangxu Emperor believed that if he wanted to defeat the foreigners, he should learn the foreigners' set, so he sent Liu Chunlin to Japan for further study.
After three years of further study, liu Chunlin returned to China not long after the Qing Dynasty collapsed, and then the Xinhai Revolution broke out, Liu Chunlin stayed at home to learn calligraphy.
Later, the emperor Puyi became emperor in the puppet state of Manchukuo in Japan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, remembering Liu Chunlin, who was the head of the imperial family many years ago, so he wanted to invite Liu Chunlin to come to puppet Manchukuo as the minister of education, but Liu Chunlin did not want to do things for the Japanese, so he resolutely refused.
After the July 7 Incident, Wang Yitang, a scholar who was on a scientific expedition in the same year as Liu Chunlin, defected to Japan and became a traitor, thinking that Liu Chunlin had the sign of "Late Qing Dynasty Champion", so he asked Liu Chunlin to become the mayor of Beijing, but Liu Chunlin still refused.
Wang Yitang remembered the hatred in his heart, found the Japanese to raid Liu Chunlin's home, although Liu Chunlin later spent a lot of money and returned home, but he himself suffered from heart disease, coupled with such a big blow, resulting in the gradual aggravation of the disease, after many medical treatment ineffective, and finally died in Beijing.
Because of Liu Chunlin's integrity, many people admire him and also like his calligraphy.
In the calligraphy circles today, there is a saying that "Da Kai Xue Yan (Zhen Qing), Xiao Kai Xue Liu (Chun Lin)"; at the same time, Liu Chunlin's calligraphy also has the reputation of "Kai Fa Crown in the world, and later learn Liu Chun Lin Zongzhi".
Just like his people, his small letters are clean and strong, and revered.
