What is the official position of the provincial sacrifice in the Ming Dynasty

The answer of netizens is nonsense! I answered so much, but it was "a thousand words and a thousand digressions". The provincial sacrifice does have, the Ming Wanli "Taihe County Chronicles" volume two "Food Chronicles" has "in addition to seeing (current) appointment, to Shi Township Officials, Shengjian Provincial Sacrifice", there is a record of a provincial sacrifice surnamed Zhang and two villagers jointly donating money to build a bridge, it can be seen that the "Provincial Sacrifice" does exist, but it is neither a real job, nor a false position, but a kind of behavior.

Check the "History of the Ming Dynasty and the Election Chronicle": "The prison student allocates the calendar (conferring official positions), and at the beginning of the year and month of entering the prison (Guozi) is in order, Ding Wei and provincial sacrifices, and those who have stayed at home for seven or eight years can be allocated (selected and appointed) compared to entering the prison. Here it is listed with the provincial sacrifice, and it is said that "there are people who stay at home for seven or eight years", which shows that the provincial sacrifice is the meaning of returning to the hometown, and it is the abbreviation of "provincial relatives to worship ancestors", which is dedicated to the statement of prisoners.

To say that someone is a "provincial sacrifice" indicates that he is a prisoner. In this way, the province of the provincial sacrifice should be pronounced xing (awake), not the province of Zhongshu Province, nor the province of Henan Province. The Ming Dynasty implemented a multi-channel selection method, and the imperial examination was only one of them.

Guozi supervisors do not have to take exams, as long as they have more years of research and qualifications, they can be awarded official positions, so many inmates do not study in Guozijian after failing the scientific examination a few times, but return to their hometowns to study for qualifications. There are many names for excuses, "Ding Wei" (parents die and go home to keep filial piety), which is a national statutory personal holiday, which is three years according to the regulations (only 25 months), but many people seize this opportunity and never look back, and boil their qualifications at home, until the number of years is enough to go to school; There are also people whose parents are dead, or they are not dead, and they have no chance to "worry", what should they do? Then there is only an excuse to go back to the hometown and province to worship the ancestors, and until the qualifications are qualified, then return to the country to look for opportunities to become officials.

From this point of view, the provincial sacrifice as a special word for the prison of the country, there is indeed a reason for him, which is caused by the unreasonable system of taking scholars and awarding officials in the Ming Dynasty.
