Qing Dynasty men passed the examination for xiucai, what preferential treatment did the imperial court have for them? Why is life said to be "poor acid". Whenever people like Xiucai are mentioned, many people also know that in the Qing Dynasty, only those who had only known people could be called so, but do you know that they are actually not as elegant and valued as we think, and the opposite is the state of "poor acid". So why does the editor say this?
In the Qing Dynasty, only men who have successfully passed the child examination can be called Xiucai, but in general, the requirements of this scientific examination stage are not very strict, generally speaking, children around the age of ten can participate in the examination, for example, Ji Xiaolan was at the age of six when he relied on his own superior knowledge to pass, from which they can also read books, in fact, they are just a little higher than the usual civilian status.
However, in general, the Qing Dynasty still had some preferential treatment for Xiucai, just like if the state was recruiting soldiers, the strong men in other people's homes must go, but the talents in zhongju were not controlled, and in addition, they did not need to kneel when they saw the officials in the yamen.
In the past, we often found in various film and television works related to the history of the Qing Dynasty that ordinary civilians must kneel and pray when they see officials and courtiers, and if they encounter the situation that Xiucai makes mistakes, then the ministers in the public court must also report to the courtiers of the upper institutions before they can have the right to be punished.
But no matter how you look at it, in fact, the imperial court did not give Xiucai any money appreciation, so it can be seen that the status of these people is only a little higher than that of ordinary people, and it should be known that many of them, even if they are selected, they will not be able to pass the examination of the palace examination and other stages, so many of them chose to be Mr. Teaching during the Qing Dynasty, which also shows that their economic ability is not very high.
In general, readers will first participate in the children's examination, during which the talents need to stand out from the three major examinations of the county, the government and the hospital in order to carry out the next round of scientific examinations. In general, this is actually similar to the current primary, middle and high school three stages, although the words from the time point of view are not the same, but in general, the process is extremely similar.
Wait until after the middle lift can continue to participate in the township, the test, and only at this time to pass the pass will be called lifting people, jinshi, the same as in modern times, everyone's starting point is the same, are to obtain a higher official position, while being able to live a higher life.
Especially coupled with the fact that Xiucai generally comes from a poor family, most of them have a way out is to participate in scientific examinations to get ahead, but even if they finally pass this level, they may not be able to pass all the examinations in the later period, which is why so many of them will choose to teach after they were elected later, after all, their own family situation is not as good as that of rich children, so they can only rely on their own knowledge to support the use of life.
Finally, what I want to say is that even if Xiucai is not the highest among all the titles of the Qing Dynasty, it is not that anyone can be admitted, only those who study hard have the opportunity to pass, so whether you will also feel that the status related to them is no longer important, we should learn from the attitude of persistence in these people!
