In the Tang Dynasty, there were very few roads for ordinary working people to reach the upper classes. The relatively fair way to compete is to take the imperial examination and select them layer by layer. Every three years, the best candidates from all over the world meet in the capital and compete against each other.
Everyone takes the test according to their own ability, why is it relatively fair? Because, in the whole country, this scope is too wide, not all readers can sit like the prince and grandson in the capital, sitting in a classroom with a few clear windows, and there are endless simulation problems. In some remote and backward areas, where basic education is weak and teachers are short, students have been studying hard for more than ten years and can obtain very little knowledge. Their exam papers are like lottery tickets that miss the numbers, and they gain nothing but great disappointment.
These areas with extremely low winning rates are called "heavenly wilderness" because they do not enter the army all year round, which means that they are backward as if they have never been reclaimed. Candidates who take the Qianjing exam are called "solutions". And these readers from the "Heavenly Desolation" are naturally put on the hat of "Heavenly Desolation".
The Jingnan region is a fighter in the "Heavenly Wastes" – it has not been a soldier for decades. The humiliated Jingnan people, especially parents, struggled in depression and anger, dreaming of growing food in the wilderness. And the candidates of each family are also more and more overwhelmed, the pressure is high, the red cross is full of papers, the vicious circle, the worse the test. Such a tragic situation lasted for three years and three years, and finally the eyes of the heavens opened, and a person named Liu Metamorphosis appeared in Jingnan, who was born with the aura of the examination god, and the big exam and the small exam simulated the exam and never lost his hand. Half of the Jingnan people silently hoped that he could fight for his hometown, while the other half, who had already confessed his fate, no longer had any illusory hope for the future.
Liu Metamorphosis, the god of examination, came to the capital with the blessings and wait-and-see of the villagers, participated in the imperial examination for the fourth year of college and middle school, and wrote a stroke to reverse the Jingnan calendar.
Liu Metamorphosis has entered the army!
The good news spread one after another, spread to the hometown, and the whole of Jingnan was sensational - the first time in decades! Most of the Jingnan people had never even touched a living jinshi in their lives, and when they heard that Liu She's going to return to his hometown, they began to wash their hands.
In addition to the ecstasy of the people in their hometown, they did not forget to give this rare thing that had only been produced for decades a nickname - "groundbreaking". This interesting nickname has been carried forward throughout history, and its scope is no longer limited to examinations.
Cui Weigong, who was working as a magistrate in Jingnan at the time, also heard the name of "breaking the heavens", and was kind enough to offer a scholarship of 700,000 yuan to Reward Liu, of course, Liu Metamorphosis also resolutely refused the funding like a standard Qinggao scholar. Actually refusing so much money, so seeing through the red dust and abandoning the red dust world, it should be nicknamed "breaking the red dust".
