Through the character of Yan Gongsheng, we can further understand the feudal imperial examination system at that time.

The following are the ugly and ridiculous images of some literati in the political, ideological, and cultural fields.

Describe the purpose

The author of "The Outer History of Confucianism" criticized the imperial examination system by criticizing figures such as Yan Gongsheng who were associated with this system. Therefore, by analyzing Yan Gongsheng, a typical character, we can also better understand the author's purpose in writing "The Outer History of Confucianism".

The Outer History of Confucianism represents the peak of ancient Chinese satire, and it creates an example of directly evaluating real life. After the manuscript of "The History of Confucianism" was undrafted, there was a manuscript that passed on Bi Ye in troubled times, and later generations spoke very highly of Lu Xun.

believes that the ideological content of the book "upholds the public heart and criticizes the evils of the times", Hu Shi.

It is believed that its artistic characteristics can be called "Seiko refinement".

In the international sinology community, the book has been even more influential, and has long been handed down in English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, Spanish and other languages.

Yan Gongsheng's character image is a typical character who oppresses the people, denies his relatives, and is tyrannical and greedy.

He has a wide scarf, foundation soap boots, bee eyes, a high nose bridge, a beard, relying on his identity as a tribute, stammering and cheating on his subordinates, and is a well-known bully in the local area. He did everything possible to tie up with the bureaucrats, knowing full well that he was just a small tribute, and it was impossible to run amok without a backer, so he colluded with the bureaucrats everywhere.

Yan Gongsheng's character image is money-loving, money-greedy, selfish, indifferent, and ruthless. In the article, Yan Gongsheng met a boatman on the road who gave up his life to save him from the danger of the shed, but Yan Gongsheng snatched a live duck from the boatman on the grounds that the boatman did not recognize him as a life-saving benefactor. In "Two Stems and Whiskers", he boasted that he was a frank person, and he never knew how to take advantage of people's faith and cheapness in the township, but in fact, he was deceitful and extorted from the common people, did not pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, and was insatiable.

To sum up, Yan Gongsheng's character image is a typical character who oppresses the people, does not recognize his six relatives, and is tyrannical and greedy.

Yan GongshengHe is a brother with Yan Gongsheng, an elder brother, and a younger brother.

This Yan Gongsheng's name is Yan Dawei, and Gongsheng is his identity; Yan Dayu's name is Yan Dayu.

The prisoner is also his identity. The two brothers are from Gaoyao County, Guangdong.

People are Fan Jin.

Lao Xiang (Lao Xiang actually refers to people from the same province and not the same township).

As the inmate said before, it is similar to the same academic ability of the student Xiucai.

But it doesn't need to be tested, it is bought with money, and it is very expensive; Gongsheng is similar, roughly equivalent to the same academic ability of lifting people, but it is neither tested nor bought, but recommended by the so-called "merit-based". The recommended objects are mainly those old talents who have failed the examination for 10,000 years.

I will never be able to win, but I can pass the exam every time.

In the first and second class, for such miserable people, the state gives a way out.

Let them get treatment similar to lifting people by recommending "pulling tribute" and go to the ministry.

It is reported that after passing the exam, you can be assigned an officer with a slightly lower rank than the lifter.

At the same time, Gongsheng can also continue to participate in the township examination, and after passing the examination, he will become a real lifter, and then go to the meeting examination and the palace examination to become a jinshi. But most of the tribute students no longer have the heart after being pulled out of tribute, and few continue to take the exam.

Yan Jian Sheng is Xiao Benbo's knowledge.

Evaluation

Yan Gongsheng, surnamed Yan, has a big name, and the word is in the middle. Because he is a tribute student in the book, he is also called "Yan Gongsheng". Gongsheng, as the name suggests, means to contribute talents to the emperor, and the tribute must be "dignified in learning and conduct, excellent in literature and science".

However, Yan Gongsheng's character is exactly the opposite of the requirements of "Gongsheng", and it can be said that he is a blackmailing and well-dressed beast, which in itself is a huge irony.

For the character of Yan Gongsheng, blackmailing others has completely become his character, and blackmail has been integrated into his bones. In daily life, he can find a way to blackmail others when there is an opportunity, and even if there is no opportunity, he can also find ways to blackmail others.

1. The similarities between Yan Jiansheng and Yan Gongsheng: the same greed, the same withering wisdom and selfishness. The differences are:

Strict supervision and failure to answer the life is harmful to others and self-interested, and has the nature of accumulating money; Yan Gongsheng is self-interested and blackmailing. Yan Jian Sheng is burdened with all kinds of traditional thoughts, and he is extremely concerned about the morality and ethics in the general environment; Yan Gongsheng is unscrupulous and regards traditional morality as an abandonment. Yan Gongsheng was fierce and hypocritical, while Yan Gongsheng completely broke the veil of warmth and affection.

2. Both of them are characters from Wu Jingzi's "The Outer History of Confucianism".
