"After Dengke": "The spring wind is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." "Sui Dynasty Emperor 609
The imperial examination system began in 605, replacing the Jiupin Zhongzheng system for the state to select talents, which was the fairest talent selection system in the feudal period, so that the middle and lower-class people also had the opportunity to enter the career. People who take the examination to pass the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting test, the temple examination, the temple examination was invented by Wu Zetian in 690, Wu Zetian personally tested the candidates, the candidates and examiners did not dare to cheat in front of her, and the top three who could pass the examination were all real talents.
The first three of the temple examination are The First Three Are Titles, Role Models, and Flowers Exploration, the Imperial Examination System has a history of 1300 years, and 592 Champions were born, the first title was Sun Fujia in 622, the last one was Liu Chunlin in 1904, the Imperial Examination System was abolished in 1905, and there was no longer a Title in feudal society after that.
Sun Fujia, as the first well-documented ruler in ancient times, lived a very peaceful life, met Li Shimin, who was humble and appointed a wise man, when the talent of the monarch was displayed, and spent his old age calmly, Liu Chunlin lived in a completely different era from him, and his fate was much more tortuous.
Liu Chunlin was born in 1872 in Suning, Hebei Province, a family that has been a farmer for generations, and his parents hoped that he would shine on the lintel and grit his teeth to send him to private school. Poor children early understanding, Liu Chunlin from a young age to understand the parents' hard work, every day hard work, although it is at night to pick the lamp to read at night, fortunately his efforts have been rewarded, writing and writing are absolute, becoming a well-known prodigy.
Liu Chunlin did not become the next Zhongyong, he sang all the way to the temple test, and achieved great achievements in the temple test. Liu Chunlin was originally a list eye, but Zhu Ruzhen's name was not taken well, and there was a "Zhen" in the name who just collided with the Zhenfei that Cixi hated. Princess Zhen was a concubine of the Guangxu Emperor and supported the restoration and reform of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and others, and the conservative Cixi faction did not support the restoration faction, so she regarded Zhenfei, Kang Youwei, and Liang Qichao as enemies, and it happened that Zhu Ruzhen was from Guangdong, and she was in the same place with Kang and Liang, and Cixi hated him even more and promoted Liu Chunlin to the rank of Champion.
The name Liu Chunlin reads like a spring breeze, like a dry land that is nourished by spring rain in time, and Cixi hopes that the barren land of the Qing Dynasty will be able to turn evil into luck and slowly recover, and has great hope for him.
Liu Chunlin was awarded the title of Hanlin Academy after becoming a champion, and the next year he was sent to Japan to study, and the imperial court still hoped that these people could learn a little more new knowledge and serve the motherland, but not long after he returned from his studies, the Qing Dynasty was declared extinct on February 12, 1912, and his talent was not displayed in the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Chunlin served as an official for a period of time during the Republic of China period, and even as the director of the provincial education department directly under the ministry of education, but he saw that the warlords were everywhere outside, and he did not want to go along with these people, so in 1928 he resigned from the government and went into hiding at home, spending all day with calligraphy and painting.
In 1931, when Japan invaded the northeast region, liu chunlin was 60 years old, and his family said that they wanted to celebrate him, but he thought that the people in the northeast at this time were not in the mood to celebrate the suffering, and wrote a poem "Worried about the country, can not bear to watch color plays, and it has been a trillion years for the snow to pass." In 1932, Japan supported Puyi as a puppet emperor of puppet Manchuria, and Puyi needed someone to advise him, and sent Zheng Xiaoxu with heavy money to invite Liu Chunlin to go out of the mountains to serve as the minister of education in puppet Manchuria.
Liu Chunlin has been reading books for decades, and the wind and bones of the literati are still there, and they are not confused by money and power, and refuse to go out of the mountains on the grounds of "old age". Zheng Xiaoxu knew that Liu Chunlin loved to drink tea, and after a month he came to him with the best tea, not directly talking about the appointment, but discussing art, talking for half a day before going around to the post, Liu Chunlin already knew Zheng Xiaoxu's intentions this time, unceremoniously drove him out of the house, along with the tea he brought.
In 1937, Japan invaded China in an all-round way, and soon after invaded Beijing, they wanted to find some Chinese celebrities to support the stage, and Wang Yitang, who had studied in Japan with Liu Chunlin, had already defected to the enemy, and he helped the Japanese to invite Liu Chunlin to come out as an official. Liu Chunlin looked at his former classmates who were already standing on the side with the Japanese, and scolded Wang Yitang bitterly, calling him "something with soft bones!" ”
Wang Yitang was scolded by Liu Chunlin very unhappily, made a small report in front of the Japanese, and the next day he took the Japanese soldiers to raid Liu Chunlin's home and remove all the calligraphy and painting cultural relics he valued most. After the decline in living standards of the Japanese, Liu Chunlin could only go to the street to sell couplets for some money, but he did not look at the Japanese because of the money.
In January 1942, Liu Chunlin died of a heart attack at the age of 71, and although his talent was not fully demonstrated, he repeatedly refused to do things for the Japanese.
