Fan Jin is a character in the novel "The History of Ru Lin", he was originally a sour literati who had spent half his life and achieved nothing, and was ridiculed by his neighbors all day long, and even when he met his father-in-law, he would be scolded with a split head and a face. Fan Jinman's mind was full of only those who were concerned, and in the face of all kinds of difficulties, he only knew how to accept only promises.
Later, when Fan Jin took the exam Xiucai, he met a unique examiner and was named the first in the whole field, which made Fan Jin's situation improve. Fan Jin took advantage of the high fortune of the good fortune to pass the examination again, so he was directly happy to go crazy, and he went all the way up to the clouds, and the world understood why he was crazy.
The difficulty of the imperial examination
As we all know, the imperial examination was first formally established from the Tang Dynasty, and before the Tang Dynasty, bureaucratic appointments were mostly hereditary by the descendants of officials, or specific officials were selected in the folk according to criteria such as their lineage. These methods of selecting officials could maintain the stability of the ruling group, but would create a situation in which the nobility had complete control over the bureaucracy.
Until the Tang Dynasty decided to use the imperial examination system to select officials, the Han people in the world were all rejoicing in it, and they could finally enter the imperial court and contribute to the people of the country. The selection scope of the examination system is wide, and the admission method is very fair, so it has injected a steady stream of fresh blood into the country.
Even Tang Taizong, who had great talent and greatness, when he saw that the imperial court was full of vigor and vitality, he could not help but sigh that "the heroes of the world have entered the middle of my life", and the imperial examination system has been used for more than 1200 years by virtue of its remarkable superiority.
In ancient China, there were many figures like Ji Xiaolan Yuan Chonghuan, who all came to the fore through the imperial examination, passed the barriers layer by layer, and finally stood on top of the Golden Ruan Treasure Hall, won the favor of the Heavenly Son, became the pillars of the country, and lived a life of gold and jade food.
The deeds of these people have inspired generations of ordinary family readers, who have been studying hard all day for ten years, only hoping to be on the list one day, and from then on, they will rise up in the wind and complete the grand ambition of Confucianism to establish a heart for heaven and earth and establish a destiny for the people.
There are so many cold soldiers in the world, so the cruelty of the competition in the imperial examination is naturally self-evident. At that time, everything was inferior, only under the influence of the social atmosphere of high reading, every household would have students picking a lamp to read hard, and when it came to the exam, all young Toshihiko would gather together to give full play to the years of hard reading, and the scene and today's college entrance examination were not much more.
People who are full of poetry and books run to the examination hall like carp across the river, and there are generations of talented people in Qingshan, and no one knows what their future holds. If it is high school, it is naturally joyful, people who have fallen behind will put their hopes on the next exam, many people have devoted their lives, even the threshold of Xiucai has not been touched, and it is useless to be old.
Fan Jin of bitter fate
When Fan Jin appeared in "The History of Ru Lin", it was heart-wrenching, and he was still wearing summer clothes on the cold days of December. Fan Jin, who had white hair and yellow muscles, was the last of the test takers to arrive, he was frozen and trembling, took the test paper to the examiner, and returned to his seat to answer the question.
Fan was the last to enter the scene, but the papers were the earliest, and he talked to the examiner when he handed in the papers. Fan Jin claimed to have taken the exam from the age of 20, and has taken the exam more than 20 times now, but the hard work is not in place, and he has not been able to take the exam, and the examiner has relieved him twice, and let him go home and wait for the list.
This examiner is no one else, it is Zhou Jin, who has a similar experience with Fan Jin, Zhou Jin has been reading poetry since childhood, and he only wants to get a meritorious name and make a contribution to Li Mincangsheng. However, Zhou Jin had been reading the sage books for decades, and he had not even passed the examination for Xiucai.
Zhou Jin was disheartened and engaged in the business industry that the literati most despised, but his heart had always longed to enter the DPRK as an official. One day he walked through the provincial city on business, he wanted to take a look at the gongyuan that held the township examination, he just arrived at the door of the gongyuan, thinking that he had exhausted his life, and he had not entered the examination room that changed the fate of countless people.
Zhou Jin's companions immediately rescued him, and after he woke up, he cried and wept for a long time, which made the group of people feel uncomfortable. After Zhou Jin's companions learned of the original commission, they were all touched by his deeds, at that time, the students of the Guozijian could directly participate in the township examination, and after Qianlong, the identity of the prisoner could be obtained through taxation, so the group helped each other and found a prisoner for Zhou Jin to let him take the examination.
Zhou Jin was grateful to Shu Zero, and he won the examination at once, and then Lian Zhan Lianjie became a jinshi, and the high-ranking official Houlu was added to one. Soon after Zhou Jinzhong became a soldier, he was selected as an examiner for the imperial examination in Guangdong, and he knew the taste of hard reading in the cold window, so he remembered in his heart that he must carefully check the examination papers and not disappoint the talented people.
After Zhou Jin let Fan Jin go home, he picked up Fan Jin's test paper and read it roughly, and couldn't help but feel that this boy who was more than half a hundred years old, the text was rude and the writing was not smooth, no wonder he had not been able to pass the exam. After Zhou Jin put down the test paper, after waiting for a long time, no one else handed in the paper, and then picked up Fan Jin's test paper and read it again, but this time he read it with some taste.
At this time, there were other students who handed in the papers, and after Zhou Jin's treatment, he carefully read Fan Jin's volume for the third time, only to find that between the lines, all of them reflected the world's reason, and immediately fan Jin was pointed out as the first. On the day of the release of the list, Zhou Jin specially summoned Fan Jin and instructed Fan Jin to be more refined and would meet in the capital in the future.
Fan Jin, after passing the examination for talent, rushed home overnight and told his family the good news. The whole family was very happy, and his butcher father-in-law also came to congratulate Fan Jin with some meat and wine. But xiucai's name has no practical use, and his father-in-law said that he had accumulated virtue, so he let Fan Jin pass the Xiucai examination, and also pointed out Fan Jin's future behavior, and Fan Jin could only humbly obey.
Fan Jin turned over
Fan Jin's examination of Xiucai's affairs has spread throughout the ten miles and eight townships, and the identity of Xiucai is not very useful, Fan Jin can only personally visit famous villagers, and first mix his face. In the same year, it was the age of the township examination, and I wanted to borrow some coils from my father-in-law and go to the provincial city to take the exam, but my father-in-law fell by a few times, bluntly saying that Fan Jin was delusional and delusional, and it was impossible to pass the exam.
The gray-headed Fan Jin was unwilling and secretly went to the countryside to test his father-in-law, but he did not have any money, and he went home immediately after the examination, at this time, the poor family had been out of grain for several days. On the day of the release of the list, Fan Jin's mother was almost blind from hunger, and Fan Jin rushed to the market to change some food.
After Fan entered, his home became lively, a group of people and horses played gongs and drums, and when they arrived at the Fan family's thatched house, it turned out that Fan Jin had lifted people, and these people had come to celebrate. Fan's mother hurriedly asked the neighbor to call Fan Jin back, and the neighbor immediately went to the market to tell Fan Jin the good news, Fan Jin did not believe it at first, and the neighbor took the chicken and pulled him to the house.
After Fan entered the house, the reporter told him that he had won the lift, Fan Jin looked at the newspaper post, he was the seventh place in the township test, he was mad with joy, and Fan Jin, who was wearing a shawl, ran all the way to the market, and many people could not stop him.
In order to make Fan Jin wake up, the crowd had to ask his father-in-law, who was most afraid, to wake him up. After the father-in-law knew that Fan Jinzhong was lifted, he quickly refused, for fear of being punished by the gods after beating the lifter, and everyone said that saving Fan Jin was a piece of merit, and the father-in-law had to harden his scalp and beat Fan Jin unconscious.
After Fan Jin woke up, his consciousness was restored, and at this time, his father-in-law's attitude changed drastically, and his eyebrows fluttered and danced to praise Fan Jin's talent, and he had long been wise enough to recruit him as a son-in-law. Then a squire who had been a county magistrate personally visited the Fan family, and also took the initiative to marry a brother, and returned it after the silver 50 taels.
Raising people is a watershed in the examination of the imperial examination, after being admitted, there will basically be an official and a half-post, and Fan Jin is also called Fan Laoye by the villagers. People who had befriended Fan Jin came from all directions, some sent farmhouses, some sent treasures and firewood, and even sold themselves into slavery, and the Fan family was invited into the new home by the squires, and the life was prosperous.
Fan Jin had this knocking brick to raise people, so he entered Beijing to participate in the examination, and his years of hard study were not in vain, and he finally won the jinshi and the first. A few years later, Fan Jin was hand-picked by the emperor as a Shandong Xuedao, who had full authority to manage the education of Shandong, and was also a high-ranking official of Zheng Sanpin at that time, second only to the Inspector of the Party, which also made people understand why he was extremely happy and crazy in the first place.
With the history of 5,000 years of China, many of the stories handed down are indeed worth savoring. Just as the so-called reading of history can be wise, let us take fewer detours, and understanding historical knowledge is especially important for a person's growth.
In this regard, for children's history learning, a set of "Half-Hour Comics" invested by Zhang Quanling, a former CCTV sister, and written by webcomic master Chen Lei, has been published so far, and has sold more than 30 million copies.
The book brings history to life through hilarious comics, coupled with modern passages. Now many primary and secondary school teachers will recommend this "Half-Hour Comic Chinese History" when recommending the required reading list, on the grounds that it is both interesting, can arouse children's interest in learning history, and can also help them remember some boring knowledge points.
In terms of content, this set of books has 3 core features:
1. Witty humor has changed people's boring perception of history. In Chen Lei's pen, the Spring and Autumn Warring States are like a class, the Great Qin dynasty is addicted to death, the Three Kingdoms are the three major battles, the Wei and Jin dynasties are chaotic, the Southern and Northern Dynasties are rich in losers, and the Tang Dynasty is the most dazzling national style. Every piece of history, every change of dynasty, is firmly remembered in the light and humorous passages.
For example, the paragraph in the book that introduces Xiao He, before it was only known that "Success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He", but it is not what Xiao He is doing, this can be clear: Who is Xiao He? He is Liu Bang's "logistics minister" and "god-level otaku", no matter how Liu Bang fights over and over on the front line, no matter how badly he is beaten, there will always be substitutes and grain and grass delivered in time, and the next day the order will arrive, and the brothers on the road call him "Xiao Shunfeng".
For example, when it comes to the Hongmen banquet, Xiang Zhuang is holding a kitchen knife, while Liu Bang on the side sees it and sweats coldly, swallowing his saliva and saying: "Xiang Ye, I have drunk too much wine, can I go to the bathroom?" Then he ran away! This was the first time that Xiang Yu had committed a second offense, and it was also the first time that Liu Bang had confessed to it, lost his temper and actually used urine.
2. Provide schools and parents with the idea of "exploring new education models". At a seminar for principals of primary and secondary schools in many provinces, a principal introduced: "Chen Lei has cleared up the historical context of the past three thousand years through hand-painting and passages. He is best at lifting the pretentious appearance of history, omitting insignificant details, and deciphering each piece of history into a paragraph with the joy of the times, making you laugh every three seconds. And while you laugh out of your abs, you already know history unconsciously. ”
Many parents also said: "Chen Lei used a set of "Half-Hour Comic Series" to bring children out of online games. The success of Chen Lei's comic history is also a successful exploration of a new education model.
3. Endorsed by authoritative experts, the content can withstand scrutiny. As a historical popular science book, although there are many passages in it, these passages have been strictly controlled by the most authoritative historians in China, and children will not learn the knowledge of "cottage". Therefore, this set of books reconstructs a new Chinese historical system with modern buzzwords on the basis of professional knowledge.
Some memory experts say: "Picture memory is 3-10 times better than text memory". Parents now attach great importance to cultivating their children's reading ability, but if children do not like to read dry text, they may wish to choose cartoons in the form of "pictures + text" to slowly stimulate children's interest in reading.
Don't look at the various humorous passages in the book, in fact, every historical story has a historical basis and has been strictly reviewed and checked by a number of authoritative historical experts. Chen Lei said: "I want to make sure that every paragraph and sentence in the book can withstand scrutiny!" ”
If your child is also suffering from learning history and poetry too difficult, and has no interest in literature, you may wish to read Chen Lei's "Half-Hour Comics" series, which was rated as "a must-read book for primary and secondary school students in the country", which can help children cultivate their interest in learning in funny and maximize their historical knowledge in a happy atmosphere.
