Li Shizhen was selected for Xiucai at the age of 14, why did he give up the imperial examination and

In the ancient Chinese imperial examination, the field was like a battlefield, some people were proud of the spring breeze, and naturally some people were sad and bleak. Many historical celebrities have been famous three times. Li Shizhen (1518-1593), whose name is Dongbi, called himself a native of the lake and mountains in his later years, was a native of Waqiba (now Dr. Street) in Dongchang Street, Qizhou Town, Qichun County, Hubei Province, and was a famous medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty.

Later, he was sentenced to the ancestral hall of the Chu Wangfu and the Royal Tai Hospital, and after his death, the Ming court was awarded the title of "Wenlin Lang".

Since 1565, Li Shizhen has gone to Wudang Mountain, Lushan, Maoshan, Niushou Mountain and Huguang, Anhui, Henan, Hebei and other places to collect drug specimens and prescriptions, and worship fishermen, woodcutters, farmers, coachmen, pharmacists, snake catchers as teachers, refer to 925 kinds of books on medicine and other aspects of the past dynasties, archaeological evidence, exhaustive study of physics", recorded tens of millions of words of notes, clarified many difficult problems, after 27 cold and summer, three changes of draft, in the eighteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1590) completed the 1.92 million words of the monumental work "Compendium of Materia Medica" In addition, there is also research on pulse science and the eight veins of the strange meridians.

After starting to study at the age of 6, Li Shizhen showed his intelligence, and in 1532, Li Shizhen, who was just 14 years old, won the show, which brought great expectations to his father Li Yanwen。However, in the society at that time, how difficult it was to raise people, Li Shizhen participated in the imperial examination three times in a row, and the second time he also suffered from bone steaming disease due to excessive effort and fatigue, and the continuous high fever did not go away, and he almost lost his life.

After failing the list twice, Li Shizhen still trudged the road to the imperial examination, concentrating all his energy in the hope of successfully passing the imperial examination. In the nineteenth year of Jiajing (1540 AD), the 23-year-old Li Shizhen fell off the list for the third time, and Li Shizhen's dream of lifting people and the dream of the Li family were completely shattered. After failing the imperial examination three times, Li Shizhen's father and son were disheartened by the imperial examination system, and Li Shizhen had no choice but to leave Baguwen and turn to medicine.

After less than 4 years, Li Shizhen has become a doctor with the ability to practice medicine independently, and his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and he has become a famous doctor whose reputation has spread all over the country。In 1556, the son of the king of Chu in Hubei suddenly got syncope disease, commonly known as convulsions, and found many doctors who were not cured. In order to repay Li Shizhen, the king of Chu appointed Li Shizhen to be in charge of the ancestor worship in the palace, and the official residence was seven products.

Three years later, the emperor suddenly recruited famous doctors from all over the world, and the king of Chu responded and recommended Li Shizhen to the Tai Hospital.

In 1552 AD, Li Shizhen resolutely decided to no longer practice medicine, but to concentrate on the great ideal of rebuilding materia medica. Li Shizhen spent 18 years conducting field investigations, and spent another 10 years changing his manuscript three times, and finally completed his wish to rebuild the materia medica.

It was a helpless move After failing the imperial examination three times, Li Shizhen's father and son were disheartened by the imperial examination system, and Li Shizhen had no choice but to leave Baguwen and turn to medicine.

It is a helpless move to give up the imperial examination and go to medicine instead, which also shows that Li Shizhen has a very strong heart.

That's because he found himself much more talented in medicine than in exams.

It is because it is not good in contemporary times, it is better to be an official than to practice medicine, so you can only choose this path.

In ancient times, it was useless to be a scholar, and he had to go through the relationship sect, and practicing medicine could cure diseases and save people, and he could come and go freely.

This is because he has failed the list three times and is helpless, not because he is willing.

has his unspeakable secrets, and abandoning literature to practice medicine is for a better life.

The personal ideological realm is different, and I think that doctors can save lives and help people more intuitively.

In our primary school textbooks, we have all learned the story of Lu Xun. Lu Xun is a well-known writer and thinker in China, and Lu Xun has always been an example for us to learn from over time. Lu Xun was not a writer before, but studied medicine, but Lu Xun believed that in a very hot era, he could only **few people in medicine, but judging from the article, he used the pen as a gun to make more people ideologically conscious, so he gave up the discussion after a long-term ideological struggle, but in the Ming Dynasty, there was a legendary task that was diametrically opposed to Lu Xun, he was Li Shizhen.

Before Li Shizhen chose the path of medicine, he also experienced the same strong ideological struggle as Lu Xun, but in the end he chose medicine. His achievements in medicine proved to be enormous. He wrote the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that amazed the world.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" has made great contributions to Chinese medicine in China, and is known as the "Encyclopedia of the Orient" by foreigners, but in fact, Li Shizhen's first dream is not to become a doctor, Li Shizhen's father is indeed a well-known doctor in the local area. Li Shizhen's father didn't want Li Shizhen to become a doctor at that time. I hope he can change his life through the imperial examination.

Li Shizhen's past has been uneven. His highest score in the exam was just a showman. After he was admitted to Xiucai, he was not dissatisfied, so he participated in the township examination, but Li Shizhen suffered from eye disease at that time, so it also affected his review.

A failure hit Li Shizhen very hard, but he did not give up his ideals, but studied harder. Soon, Li Shizhen had a wife and children, and after Li Shizhen married his wife, his wife also supported him to take the exam, encouraged and took care of him, which also made Li Shizhen study with more peace of mind. After that, he took the exam in Wuchang again and fell to Sun Shan again.

At this time, Li Shizhen was about to be disheartened. He was hesitant to take the test again. Eventually, with the hopes of his father and grandfather, he decided to take the exam again, but he had already experienced many failures and the psychological pressure of taking the exam again was also very high.

In the end, he still fell off the list. Therefore, Li Shizhen completely lost confidence in the imperial examination and even developed fear. It may also be because of many failures, and Li Shizhen's father also thinks that he is not this material.

So Li Shizhen followed her father and began to study medicine.

At that time, there were many people who were sick, and there was no money to see a doctor and many people died, Li Shizhen felt very sorry for these people, so he gave up writing to practice medicine. In fact, it is not that he is afraid of the imperial examination, but because Li Shizhen is very kind.

Because Li Shizhen has been engaged in the imperial examination many times, the psychological pressure of the examination is also relatively large, so he will give up literature and practice medicine, also because he is afraid of the imperial examination.

Because Li Shizhen has participated in the imperial examination many times, but he has failed the list, he feels that it is better for him to engage in medicine, and he is not afraid of the imperial examination.

Because Li Shizhen failed the imperial examination many times and had a sense of fear of the exam, he would abandon literature and practice medicine.

Most people who have read the book know the story of the great writer Lu Xun who gave up medicine and became a writer. However, you may not know that Li Shizhen also experienced a hard ideological struggle before taking the medicine. He just didn't give up practicing medicine. Instead, he gave up practicing medicine.

Li Shizhen occupies a very high position in Chinese history, especially in the history of medicine, mainly because he wrote a famous medical work "Compendium of Materia Medica", which brought great convenience to later medical workers, and was called "a masterpiece of oriental medicine" and "Chinese encyclopedia" by foreigners.

In fact, Li Shizhen did not take practicing medicine as his ideal at the beginning. Li Shizhen's father and grandfather were both quite good doctors. They all hope that Xiucai will be born in their own families, that Xiucai will gain fame through the imperial examination, and that Xiucai will embark on a career and no longer practice medicine.

However, this hope was disappointed again and again, and in the end they all pinned their hopes on Li Shizhen. However, unfortunately, Li Shizhen only took the high school entrance examination and failed every time.

According to records, Li Shizhen also took the township examination three times after taking the high school entrance examination. He took the township test for the first time at the age of 17 in Wuchang. Because of eye problems and nervousness, he may not be able to review properly. After three exams, he finally fell in love with Sun Shan.

After failing the list, Li Shizhen studied harder. Soon, he married Miss Wu from a large family. His wife had no objection to his fame and always encouraged him.

In 1537, Li Shizhen participated in the township examination held in Wuchang for the second time. This time, he's not on the list again.

Do you want to take it again? At this time, Li Shizhen hesitated for a moment and began to think about this question. However, his father, Lee Yan Wenqiang, advocated and supported his son to continue taking the exam.

In order to live up to her parents' hopes, Li Shizhen decided to take the exam again. At this time, Li Shizhen was not only frail and sickly, but also under great psychological pressure. Fortunately, his wife Wu took good care of him and helped him slowly relieve his stress.

Three years later, in the autumn, he came to Wuchang for the third time and failed again. Since then, Li Shizhen has lost interest in the imperial examination, and even has fear. It was from this time that he decided not to take the after-school exams and follow his father to study medicine.

In fact, everyone's life cannot be smooth sailing, even successful people are no exception. When you encounter a major trauma in your life, you need to face it bravely, adjust your mindset in time, and actively participate in your new life.

Because Li Shizhen had a great interest in studying medicine, more than the pursuit of literature, he later wanted to abandon literature to practice medicine.

Li Shizhen's interest was not in officialdom, but in the knowledge of medicine, but he was still very young at the time, just a sensible child, and he did not dare to resist his father's orders, so he read the classic works of Confucianism. He was gifted and intelligent, and although he found it boring, he wrote it down and used it flexibly. When he was 13 years old, his father took him to Huangzhou to take the exam, and sure enough, Xuqin hit it in a try, and Yinpei won a "show talent" Feng Yuwei.

In the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1530 AD), Li Shizhen was 12 years old. After several years of private school study, he has assiduously read the four books, ancient poems and other coursework, and learned to write poems and do eight-strand essays.

In the second year, Zhou Xun, the prefect of Qizhou, took a fancy to Li Shizhen and sent him to Huangzhou to take the "child test".

Li Yanwen took his son to the lively Huangzhou Mansion, Li Shizhen had no time to enjoy the scenery of the mansion and concentrate on taking the exam. There are two tests for the "children's test", one is the "Four Books" (eight strands), and the other is the "Trial Poem". Li Shizhen's results in both exams were excellent, and she was admitted to the show in one fell swoop.

Xiucai is a common name for "students" in the imperial examination. Those who take the entrance examination will enter the Confucianism and occupy a place in the number of students in the prefecture, state, and county schools. After obtaining the qualifications of students, you can further take the examination of people, tribute students, and jinshi, and climb the peak of Confucianism step by step.

Jinshi was the first choice for the imperial court to select officials and officials. Xie Yuan, the first place in the provincial general examination, the first place in the national examination, and the first champion in the palace examination, are the goals pursued by literati at all levels of examinations. The stupid Lu Bei is the champion, and the first middle school will "win the world", which is the highest honor in the imperial examination and the highest goal pursued by the scholars.

Li Shizhen is 13 years old, a young man, and a bright future, and his father feels very gratified. He promptly warned Li Shizhen: "It is gratifying to be selected for the show, but it is still far from the goal of raising people to become scholars."

He asked Li Shizhen to work hard to participate in the triennial provincial unified examination held in Wuchang.

The main reason why Li Shizhen gave up literature to practice medicine was that he was weak and susceptible to illness, and after failing a township test, he became seriously ill, and finally saw it after he recovered from his illness and was determined to inherit his father's medical skills.

Because Li Shizhen failed many township examinations, he directly lost interest in the imperial examination, so he followed his father to study medicine.

It can be said that if he is done, he is just an ordinary official, and there is no shortage of officials like Li Shizhen in this world, but as a doctor, he is the best doctor, in fact, there is a great shortage of Li Shizhen, a doctor, and he needs to play such a roleMaybe this is also the choice of the times, so that he did not take the imperial examination in the end, became an ordinary **, and finally chose to be a great doctor.
