Xu Xuan's word is light dance, and he is knowledgeable and versatile. According to Ouyang Xiu's "Return to Tianfu", "True Sect is good at writing. Although we judge people by their words, we should look at knowledge more. Every time there is a Jinshi in the imperial court, his senior three or four people will be called to sit side by side in the imperial court, and those who are aboveboard will be the first. Let's take him as reasonable and interesting as possible. Xu Xuan's "Zhu Ding Wu Xiangfu" says:' The foot is just at the bottom, and the public is inclined to hear it; Being superior outside the string really takes Wang Guan's prestige. "Then take the first place." Xu later served as Suzhou children's product tax. Suzhou was flooded, dredged rivers, built 90 miles of earth-rock dams, built more than 40 bridges, ploughed hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and restored and developed local agriculture, which was praised by the court.
At the beginning of Renzong Tiansheng, he was promoted to Zhejiang transshipment ambassador. Later, I learned that Kaifeng House was opened and named Hou Jinning. He was also the only champion in the Song Dynasty 1 19.
The imperial examination system was a special system for selecting talents in ancient China. It was founded in the seventh year of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty (AD 587), when Yang Di was founded. By the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was more perfect. Jinshi is noble because the number of candidates is small and the competition is fierce. Moreover,' people who come out of this will be heard for a lifetime'. "
Among them, how is the champion produced? "The exam is generally divided into three levels, and the exam is solved. It was the children who passed the exam, and the first place was Xie Yuan; After the provincial examination, the successful candidate is Jinshi, and the first one is Huiyuan; The court examination was presided over by the emperor himself, and the ranking was decided by the emperor himself. The first place is the champion. Because you have to submit your credentials (that is, your resume) to register with the Ministry of Ritual before the exam, the champion is also called your credentials. All the Jinshi are very proud, claiming that I am the son of heaven's favorite pupil. The glory of the champion has reached the extreme. "
Over the years, after collecting a large number of Fujian champions recorded in official history and local chronicles, curator Lu made statistics. "In the Qing Dynasty, there were 46 Fujian literary champions in Wang Renkan and Guangxu, with an average age of 33, and the youngest was 18."
There are 46 champions and some champions, which are very distinctive. "Three dynasties scholar is rare, only in Fujian. The main roads in the Southern Song Dynasty were located in Yongtai, which was called Yongfu at that time. According to the current administrative divisions, it should be located in Yongtai, Xianyou and Fuqing. There was a folklore at that time. Two years after the avenue, a boulder flew down the mountainside on Shizhu Mountain in Fuqing, and the inscription said,' Tianbao moves, and the champion comes. The dragon's paw is red, and the champion is west and east. Guo Liang Jr. is the most famous in the world; The second time, 60 or 70 kilometers to the west, Zheng Qiao was the top scholar, and the second time, Ding Huang in the east was the top scholar. "At that time, there was a poem written by Yongfu County Order: Guiling and Yulong are at the top of the mountain, and Sanjiashan is also strong! Within 200 miles of each other, he won the championship three times in seven years. Mount Tai is the Qingyun Mountain, hence the name. "
There are three champions in the same place. "In Yaokeng Village, Wenling Town, Changle,,, and Chen Dou went out. Although Chen is from Putian, he grew up in Changle. For more than a thousand years, only 14 people in the country have won, won and won the championship, and there is also one in Fujian, Wang Zeng. " In the same period, the first and second flower detectives were all picked by Fuzhou people.
These are all very proud and proud, but curator Lu pointed out that we should not be superstitious about champions. The champion may be honored for a while, but it may not go down in history. "The champion's treatment is very low. In the Song Dynasty, the lowest was from the Nine Grades. A better one, from Bapin, is not what people think. Most of them only went to the magistrate, others were ordinary, and few of them could become prime ministers. "
"But the top scholar in Fujian has superhuman understanding and is diligent and studious. Secondly, most people are pragmatic, honest and frank, and don't follow the trend. Because Confucian traditional education is deeply rooted in their hearts. "
Chen, the top scholar in Putian, is a typical example. "Yuan army approaching fuzhou, Duan Zongnan to quanzhou. Chen Longwen defended Xinghua (now Putian) and' destroyed the family and saved the country', and devoted all his resources to recruiting. In order to boost morale, he toured the city and ordered the soldiers to hold the flags of "Bei" and "Death as a ghost of Song Dynasty" as the guide. His men vowed to live and die with the whole world, but the tide was gone and finally they rebelled internally. A pawn rode on a horse and wrote a letter to Empress Chen. He wants to kill himself with a sword, but if he fails, he will go on a hunger strike. When he arrived in Fuzhou, Yuan Jiang surrendered and knelt down with a knife. Chen righteously pointed to his abdomen and said,' These articles are just. Can the champion drive evil?' After arriving in Lin 'an (now Hangzhou), he asked to visit Yue Fei's tomb. So in the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen, a generalist, was as loyal as Wen Tianxiang, the top scholar. "
Not only Chen, "many top scholars are officials below the county level, but they are also performing Confucian education." The country is important, the monarch is light, and the people are fundamental. As soon as we get to the grassroots level, we will build water conservancy projects, set up education and relieve disasters. "
Behind the 46 champions, there are many stories, and those shadows are gone.
