Reading in ancient times was really not easy, and if you want to enter the career path, you can only focus on obtaining a meritorious name. "Chao Wei Tian Shelang, Twilight Heavenly Son Hall" this is a small goal for all readers, and to achieve this small goal, there must be a strong stepping stone.
The imperial examination is not easier than today's examination, and there are many people in history who are young and have a golden list title, and the spring breeze is proud. Of course, there are also many people who are empty and full of warp, and the examination room is frustrated.
The Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin was a talent with poor luck. Speaking of poor luck in the past, luo yin's opponents really can't be found. It is said that this young and famous reader who was only eight buckets high was said to have tossed the examination hall back and forth no less than ten times, and the result was an ending each time, that is, the famous Sun Shan. So one of the title labels given to him in history is "ten on the top".
Failure to pass the entrance examination does not mean that he is not talented, and Luo Yin's poetry has been well known since he was young. Now there is a poem in the primary school textbook that Luo Yin wrote "Bee", which is simple in writing and has a profound meaning. The two most famous sentences are "After harvesting a hundred flowers into nectar, for whom is it sweet?" ”
What exactly caused Luo Yin to pass by again and again? "The Biography of Tang Caizi" has a story that is very telling, and the biggest reason why Luo Yin has repeatedly failed is most likely because of his ugly appearance and low appearance.
When Luo Yin was just preparing to take the imperial examination, he actually had a small reputation in his hometown of Hangzhou. His poems often appeared in the meeting places of dignitaries and celebrities, and several poems came and went to the ears of the daughter of zheng bi, the current chancellor. Miss Zheng is in the middle of the miaoling and waiting for the word. The poem copied to Luo Yin felt that this person's talent was very comparable, so he felt admiration.
It was really easy for the prime minister to find a son-in-law, and when Zheng Bi saw that his daughter was feeling affectionate, he found an excuse to invite Luo Yin to the house. When everyone in the hall was talking loudly, Zheng Bi arranged for his daughter to peek secretly through the curtain, which was a secret blind date. As a result, the prime minister's daughter looked across the curtain and was disappointed, this Luo Yin looked really bad, the talent may be counted, not to mention the beauty. As a result, after taking a look, the girl did not look at the second glance, this look is really sorry for the audience, how low the appearance is. From then on, he did not even read Luo Yin's poems.
Idle and idle, I went through the annals of history to prove it, and found that the Tang Dynasty Keju really attached great importance to appearance. The content of the examination is divided into four categories, namely body, speech, book, and judgment. The first in line is the figure and appearance, and the talent actually looks at its back in the second place. It seems that Luo Yin is still quite persistent, and he has to take talent and face value PK, and the result is a pity, and every time he is a failure.
History speaks a new language, and history turns out to be so interesting!
