Pu Songling is a literary hero, why is he over 70 still only qualified to be a tribute student?

Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" has been widely circulated and has a far-reaching influence, and can even be said to be the pinnacle of "Zhiwei**", but contrary to this, Pu Songling has not gone far on the road of the imperial examination in his life, and the reasons can be attributed to the following points: First, his own economic situation is not good; second, it did not attach great importance to the imperial examination; Third, the imperial examination system is too rigid.

1. Pu Song's poor economic situation has to prepare for the imperial examination every time, so he has no economy and often needs the support of relatives and friends. Especially after separating from his brother, the harvest of the land he got was not good, but he also needed to work as a private school teacher to subsidize the family, in this case of poor economic conditions, he could not devote himself to the preparation of the imperial examination, and it was very easy to take care of the head, which affected the possibility of Pu Songling going further in the career at a basic level. <>

Second, he did not attach great importance to the imperial examination Pu Songling After middle age, he actually paid more attention to the collection of creative materials, which was often incomprehensible, even Pu Songling may not be able to avoid it. In the case of such efforts for the creation of **, he will naturally ignore the preparation for the imperial examination, and at that time, the imperial examination required a lot of memorization, a lot of reading, and a lot of format learning, and it was difficult to stand out without spending too much time just on his own literary talent. <>

However, this is actually a good thing, if Pu Songling did not focus on the creation of **, there may only be one more bland ** in history, and there will be no masterpieces like "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", which will have a more far-reaching impact. <>

Third, the imperial examination system is too rigid The imperial examination system has developed into the Qing Dynasty, which has become more and more rigid in form, and detached from the original intention of selecting talents.

Because Pu Songling's road to the imperial examination was very unsmooth, he failed several times. In addition to literary talents, the imperial examination pays more attention to investigation and strategy, so although Pu Songling is a literary hero, he is only a tribute student.

Pu Songling is deservedly called a great writer, and the Liao Zhai written by him has been circulated to this day. But he was only a tribute student when he was over 70 years old, and that was because the society at that time did not recognize his talent.

Pu Songling didn't get the top prize in the exam all his life, but in fact, Pu Songling is very educated, and he also wrote about Zhai Zhiwei, but the score was not high during the exam, and he couldn't cater to the questioner's questions, so he never got in, which is a pity.

I think that although Pu Songling's book "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is very well written, it is difficult for such an article to enter the eyes of the imperial examination, so it is not taken seriously and cannot be improved.

When Pu Songling was 19 years old, he took the Xiucai exam, and he was in Jinan Mansion, Zichuan County, and he took the first place in the three exams and became a Xiucai.

After the first place in the three exams, Pu Songling participated in the lifting exam four times in a row, and all of them failed. Until the age of 72, he became a tribute.

Gongsheng is equivalent to lifting people on the sub-list. There are several kinds of tribute, Pu Songling is "year tribute", also called "tribute". It's just that Qiao Min has been a student for a long time, and he queued up next to Gongsheng. After becoming a tribute, he could theoretically become an official, and Pu Songling got a false title of "Confucian Discipline".

It is precisely because of the extremely unsuccessful filial piety in the excavation of the imperial examination that he was able to write the immortal "Strange Tales of Liaozhai".

You can go to see Yuan Shishuo's "Pu Songling Commentary". If you don't have time, the last chapter of Mr. Ma Zhenfang's "Liao Zhai Art Theory" has about Mr. Pu's life, which I personally think is very well written, and I recommend you to read it.
