Qianlong Hall tried to select the champion, why was the person who gave up the pen favored by Qianlo

The imperial examination in ancient times was like our current college entrance examination, which was relatively fair compared to other things. Not only can he bring you one step closer to your dreams, but it is also a way for ordinary people to change themselves. In ancient times, the imperial examination was divided into the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination and then the palace examination, and there were so many people in the country that it was really very difficult to go to the end, and there were only three places.

So this is also the reason why some people in ancient times did not pass the exam for a lifetime.

During the Qianlong period, Qianlong was conducting a palace examination, and there were two candidates who were very good, and it was difficult to choose a champion. So he gave them a question, one of them chose to abandon the pen, but let Qianlong take a fancy to it, why is this?

At that time, these two candidates were so outstanding that it was unfair to the other who to choose as the champion, and it was really the examiner who couldn't make a choice. At this time, He Shen stood up, and he thought of a way for Qianlong: come up with a pair to test the two of them, if anyone is right out of the next link, then he will be the champion.

Qianlong heard it very interesting, so he personally came up with questions to test them.

The upper link of this pair is: Smoke Lock Pond Willow. It may seem easy, but there's something else to it.

The couplet pays attention to symmetry, and the most difficult thing about this couplet is its remoteness, careful observation contains gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the artistic conception is far-reaching, which should be very difficult for the two candidates.

Unsurprisingly, one of the candidates thought about it for a long time and decided to give up. He said to the emperor: "This question is too difficult, blame yourself for not being good at academics."

So he was about to retire, but at this time, the emperor told him: You are the champion. Suddenly, another candidate was very dissatisfied and puzzled, and Qianlong told the reason:

Because this person is definitely talented, it is difficult for him to know about me in a short period of time.

It can be seen that Qianlong is also very humane, he is a person with a pattern, and sometimes it is also an advantage to accept it when he sees it, presumably this candidate makes him feel a sense of sympathy!

Because when the palace was elected, Emperor Qianlong came out with a seemingly simple, but in fact there was a lot of article, the upper link to do the question to test these two candidates, one of the candidates after thinking about it, thought that he really couldn't think of the next link, so he asked the emperor for his life, saying that this upper link was too difficult, so he abandoned the pen and wanted to retire, just when the candidate turned his head to leave, the emperor said: Slow, you are the champion. Because Qianlong felt that the candidate was absolutely talented, and it was not easy to judge his uplink in an instant, it could be seen that this person's talent was absolutely extraordinary, so just because he abandoned the pen, he was appointed to become the champion.

Because the person who abandoned the pen was very honest, he told Qianlong that he had answered this question before, and the emperor valued his honesty quality.

Because that person is a person who understands the situation, knows how to accept things and struggles in vain, you are a person who can afford to put it down. Emperor Qianlong also thought that it was a talent that could be created, so he was selected as the champion.

Because Qianlong thought that this person was super talented and could take up and put down everything, he took a fancy to the person who gave up the pen.

Because Qianlong felt that this person who abandoned the pen could see his ability at once, and knew that he could not answer that question now, saying that this person was more able to judge the situation.

Because the one who abandoned the pen was very honest, he told Qianlong that he had answered this question before, and it was unfair to other candidates, so he gave up the pen.

It is said that the Qianlong Palace tried to select the champion, and when two candidates with eight buckets of talent were difficult to distinguish, they came up with an upper link "smoke lock pond willow", and asked them to link it down. One of them thought about it and asked to abstain because it was too difficult. After Qianlong's observation, this person is extraordinary, and he is a person who can afford to take it and put it down, and he is a material that can be made, and then appointed him as the champion.

Because in Qianlong's opinion at that time, a person who can really have such courage will definitely achieve a great cause, and as long as he makes good use of this person, he will be able to do something great for himself.

Maybe it's because Qianlong took a fancy to this person's courage and felt that a person with this courage would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.

Because from this we can see that this person has a humble attitude. At that time, Qianlong's couplet was very difficult, and then let two people compete to couplet, if anyone can be right, who can be regarded as the champion, but at that time, this person thought for a long time, he couldn't think of it, so he directly said to the emperor: "Well, I am not good at learning, so I can't think of it, please let me go back and study for a while and then come back to continue the exam."

At that time, Qianlong also saw his modest attitude, so he felt that he was a more suitable person to be the champion.

Secondly, we can see that the person has an honest character. Honesty is very important to a person, especially now Qianlong wants to elect a person who is the champion, honesty is more important to him, and at that time this person was very honest, directly told the emperor that he was not good at learning, so he would not be able to do this question, it can be said that he is a very honest person, and some people are there to be swollen and fat in order to become the champion, not at all, but they have to pretend to be willing, it can be said that this kind of character was very rare at that time, so Qianlong valued him very much.

This person also has the good quality of being studious. As a champion studious is also one of the qualities that must be possessed by him, at that time this person said that he was not good at learning, and then he was ready to go back and continue to study, it can be said that he is already a lifelong learner, if he meets when he will not be able to continue to study, until he learns these things. It is not difficult to see that he was a very studious person, so Qianlong chose him at that time but did not choose another person.

Emperor Qianlong's question was difficult to answer, and this candidate quickly chose to abandon the exam, Qianlong felt that he could judge the situation in time, retreat in the face of difficulties, and was also a talent.

has a character, just in the heart of Emperor Qianlong, this candidate felt that Bagu was not able to examine talented people, so he didn't write, so Qianlong felt that this candidate was very thoughtful and talented, so he made him the champion.

Because in the palace examination, although this candidate couldn't answer Qianlong's pair, he had an accurate understanding of his ability, and he felt even more like turning his head and leaving. So Qianlong admired him.

Because he himself is very talented, and his own unique qualities attracted the emperor, he made an exception to let him do this.

How lonely is invincible This person saw that his opponent was too weak and disdained to snatch the martial champion.

Since he will become the champion, it means that he has his own talents, and he gave up the exam or for special reasons.

Because that's how it was then. That candidate was amazing. Qianlong also saw that he was very talented.

In ancient China, it was a lucky thing in life to be able to be named on the gold list and win the top prize in the examination, and since the establishment of the imperial examination, becoming the champion is the highest pursuit of all scholars.

When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to better rule the Central Plains, they adopted the previous system, such as the imperial examination system used in talent selection.

After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, due to the abundance of the treasury, Qianlong lived a very chic life, and casually rectified it, creating the so-called prosperous era of Kangqian, because Yongzheng had smoothed out the difficulties for it, so Qianlong was able to have time to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to play.

It is said that Qianlong created more than 40,000 poems in his life, in addition to writing words, Qianlong also has a special hobby, that is, couplets, he often enjoys it.

Later, in a palace examination to select the champion, Qianlong faced two very talented people, and couldn't come up with an idea for a while, and later after He Shen's reminder, Qianlong decided to select the champion through couplets.

So Qianlong came out of Shanglian, smoked the pond willows, and gave them enough time to think about it. Unexpectedly, one of the candidates immediately turned around and left after hearing Qianlong's uplink, which made everyone present very confused. The other candidate thought about it for a long time, couldn't get it right, and gave up.

Everyone thought that the candidate who turned his head and left would be punished, but he didn't expect Qianlong to make an amazing decision, he appointed him as the top student, why did he do it?

It turned out that Qianlong's Shanglian "Smoke Lock Pond Willow" was very difficult to correct, which not only contained the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, but also had a very meaningful meaning. Even Ji Xiaolan may not be able to make an excellent next link.

The candidate turned his head and left, which shows Qianlong's talent, and it also shows that this candidate is self-aware. Therefore, it is understandable that Qianlong named him the champion.

Smoke lock pond willow, no one in later generations can make an excellent downlink. Are you talented, can you make the next couplet?

Qianlong's questions at that time were very difficult to get right, so the candidate turned his head and left, which reflected his cleverness.

Because at that time, one of the two was to be selected as the champion, and the person who left directly showed that he was self-aware, so he would go directly, and the other person did not answer, so he was crowned champion.

I think it was precisely because he turned his head and left that Qianlong saw his cleverness.

In ancient times, there were always some candidates who won the attention of the emperor in an alternative way, Qianlong was a Ming monarch at that time, and it could be seen that this candidate was a real talented person.

Because this move made Qianlong feel very smart, and this couplet is indeed difficult to match.

I think this is also a preference of Qianlong, I feel that this person is more intuitive and directly expressed in his heart.

The ancient emperors were very talented, and the candidates who were able to participate in the palace examination were naturally talented, and the candidates who turned around and left were more self-aware, which showed that he was very honest and could also take care of the emperor's face, killing two birds with one stone.

During the Qianlong period, there was a palace examination, and the competition was in full swing, and the two candidates had their own merits, and it was difficult to distinguish between the winners and losers. Who should this champion be given to? At this critical juncture, Qianlong decided to decide the winner by pairing after careful consideration.

As soon as he wrote the couplet, the first candidate turned his head and left after listening to it, saying that he couldn't get it right. And the second candidate studied for a while, and then left helplessly. In the end, Qianlong appointed the candidate who left first as the champion, why?

His reason is also very simple, his uplink: smoke lock pond willow, the side of each word in the structure, just contains gold, wood, water, fire and earth; In terms of artistic conception, depicting a quiet pond, Qianlong consciously thinks quickly, and the upper link is a quatrain, which is difficult for ordinary people to come out, when the first candidate says that he will not, it means that he is a person with real ability, because when he just heard the couplet, he knew that it was not right, and the person who dared to say that he would not must be a wise person, and on the other hand, the second candidate, after thinking for a long time, did not come up with a suitable lower link, indicating that compared with the first candidate, the second candidate's talent is slightly inferior, Considering these, it is natural that the first candidate to turn around and leave directly became the champion!
