Imperial Examination Why are there more literary champions than martial champions ???

The ancient dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and the martial champion was favored by others.

When Juzi is named the champion, the first is also Hanlin, and then gradually promoted. And if Wu Zhuangyuan does not have the performance of major battles, he can only rely on time to be promoted. At that time, it was better to learn martial arts than to learn literature.

In ancient times, the imperial examination mainly refers to the literary examination, and various systems and rules are also very mature, and the state also attaches great importance to this, and in the festive years such as the new emperor's accession to the throne, etc., the people also attach great importance to this.

As for martial arts, the previous dynasties did not attach much importance to this, first of all, the concept of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and secondly, the candidates who came out of the martial arts examination were far inferior to the candidates in terms of treatment, development prospects, etc., they often could only enter the army as middle and lower-level officers, and there were few opportunities to be promoted to senior officers, so the people and officials did not attach much importance to martial arts, not only the system and rules were not so mature, but also the admission quota and examination frequency were not as good as the previous examination.

It is related to the formulation of the official system and the system of electing officials.

Wu Zhuangyuan did not begin until the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty.

During the Confucian imperial examination system in China, the whole society emphasized literature and light military force from top to bottom.

The current college entrance examination is equivalent to the ancient children's annual nuclear examination, the first place in the children's examination can enter Tsinghua Peking University to study, at this time can be called Xiucai, Tsinghua graduates can participate in the national civil service bury examination or master's and doctoral examination, and be admitted to the national civil service or Tsinghua doctorate, can be called a lifter. Promoted from a civil servant to a department-level cadre (such as the Organization Department) of the Ministry of Science and Technology, or selected from a doctor from Tsinghua University to an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, at this time it is equivalent to a jinshi, corresponding to the ancient Ministry of Officials or the Hanlin Academy.

In the imperial examination in ancient China, a total of 17 people were in the middle of the three yuan, and they were the 15th in the liberal arts: Zhang Youxin and Cui Yuanhan of the Tang DynastySun He, Wang Zeng, Song Zhen, Yang Zhi, Wang Ruosuo, Feng Jing of the Song Dynasty;Meng Song Xian of the Jin Dynasty;Wang Chongzhe of the Yuan Dynasty;Huang Guan and Shang in the Ming Dynasty;Qian Wei, Chen Jichang and Dai Quheng of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, there have also been two "Wu Sanyuan" in history.

One of them is that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Mingshi, a native of Yongjia, Zhejiang, was even in the middle of the martial arts, and the official was awarded the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households.

He is well-versed in scripture and history, and is good at writing poetry, and people at the time called his martial arts, poetry, and calligraphy "three uniques".

What is especially commendable is that he has a rigid temperament, does not flatter the powerful, and has the style of a straight gentleman.

The second is the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also Wang Yubi, a native of Zhejiang, and even Zhongwuke Sanyuan.

This person participated in the Wu Xiucai exam at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and was the first in archery, known as the "marksman", so people praised him as "Wu Siyuan".

Although he was born as a samurai, he has a good hand, outstanding writing, and a reputation for being an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

Controversy added: In the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), Dai Quheng, the champion of the Wuxu Branch, disputed it in some books.

There is information that Bai Minzhong, the prime minister of the late Tang Dynasty (Bai Juyi's cousin), was also "Lianzhong Sanyuan", although Bai Minzhong was the champion and the first, but he was not the first in the township test.

Some people believe that the two champions of the Song Dynasty, Chen Yaosu and Peng Ruli, also "connected the three yuan".

Wang Tang of the Liao Dynasty Lianzhong Sanyuan, Liao Xingzong Chongxi 15th year (1046) Bingxu family champion.

The official worshiped the prime minister of Nanfu, and later died of illness in office.
