How was the Champion born?
Want to experience the thrill of stepping back in time? Come to Chengde Kuixing Building, there is a long corridor of champions hidden here, take a walk here, and every plaque tells the growth experience of champions.
The ancient imperial examination system is equivalent to the current college entrance examination system. The imperial examination system is a basic system for selecting officials by examination in Chinese history. It originated in the Han Dynasty, abolished in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, and went through six dynasties: Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing.
The official imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was divided into three levels: the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination. The township examination is a local examination, and the general examination and the palace examination are central examinations. After the examination, the tribute will be re-examined by the emperor himself, and the choice will be decided, that is, the palace examination. The test period is one day, and the first and first, and the same background will be given according to the results. The first place in the palace examination was originally called "the top of the list", also known as the "champion", the second name was "Bangyan", and the third name was "Tanhua". The first in the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination is the "three yuan in the connection".
What is displayed in the champion corridor is the entire process of the imperial examination from the government examination to the palace examination, and every brick and tile of the champion corridor carries the dreams and expectations of ancient students. They are splashing ink here, writing their future with wisdom and sweat. Here, every question is like a level, and only through difficult challenges can you ascend to the palace of the palace examination and become the champion above ten thousand people.
Today's Kuixing Tower has its own champion stele, which is the champion of arts and sciences in Chengde over the years. They are not only the pride of Chengde, but also an inspiration to future generations. It is precisely for this reason that the majority of students come to pay homage to Kuixing with awe.
The college entrance examination has entered the countdown, and students who are about to enter the college entrance examination battlefield are welcome to come to Chengde, come to Kuixing Tower, taste the culture of the champion corridor, write their own legends, inspire themselves, and work hard!
