Why did Wu Chengen and Pu Songling never win the lift in their lives?

Although they write well, they may not be able to do well in the exam, and they may not be able to do well in the exam at that time.

Because neither of these two people had enough knowledge and culture, plus they were born poor. Therefore, he did not pass the examination in his life.

Their literary style and statecraft did not conform to the ideas of the rulers, resulting in neither of them being promoted in their lifetimes.

Wu Chengen and Pu Songling, one of them lived in the Ming Dynasty and the other lived in the Qing Dynasty. In the feudal dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the court was mediocre and corrupt, and the rope camp was struggling, chasing fame and fortune. All this may lead to the imperial examination, and there are shady scenes of favoritism and malpractice such as bribing the examiner, asking someone to catch a knife on behalf of the exam, carrying a cheat sheet, and marking the test papers.

These may also make poor students like Wu Chengen and Pu Songling fail the imperial examination and have no hope for their careers.

Because Pu Songling wants to get ahead, you must know that Pu Songling's family has been farmers for generations, and if he wants to change his background, he has to take the imperial examination, but unfortunately he failed the exam, so he is only 70 years old and still participating.

Dreams, of course.

Pu Songling struggled with poverty all his life, and when he was seventy years old, he still refused to admit defeat and had to participate in the imperial examination. The reason why I participated in the imperial examination is to prove myself and prove that I can.

Because at that time, only those who won the imperial examination could be promoted! Secondly, only when he truly becomes a lifter, his works will be recognized by the society, and will not be said to be tacky by the people of the time.

This is an obsession in his heart, just like there are many seventy or eighty-year-old people who still have to take the college entrance examination in modern times, and the imperial examination has become a demon in his heart, and he will not give up if he does not pass the examination.

I think it may be an obsession in his heart, because the ancients had a yearning and pursuit for the imperial examination, and the elderly who were dozens of years old still participated in the imperial examination, in addition, the imperial court also had subsidies to support them in the imperial examination.

This is because Pu Songling insists on living to learn from all the time, learning endlessly, and unremitting efforts will always be rewarded, and it is also because Pu Songling had to take the imperial examination if he wanted to get rid of the predicament at that time.

Although he has been named Sun Shan several times, he has always believed in his own concept that only the imperial examination can make him glorious, so failure is the mother of success, as long as he persists, he will be bitter, so he has been participating in the scientific examination.

The imperial examination is the only chance for scholars

The imperial examination is Pu Songling's pursuit of faith

Pu Songling's life was also relatively bumpy, his family was relatively poor all his life, and he spent a lot of energy in order to study. But it was precisely because of the influence of the environment at that time, coupled with his own ideals and beliefs, that he had always supported him to enter the examination room of the imperial examination, and he still participated in the imperial examination despite being 70 years old. His perseverance is a source for us to learn from and worthy of our respect.

When it comes to ghost stories, Pu Songling first comes to mind, and he failed to pass the exam in his life, because he was destined to miss the middle lift.

Pu Songling's life is mainly in compiling Liaozhai, and he doesn't have much time to study.

When it comes to ghost stories, Pu Songling is the first thing that comes to mind, and he failed to pass the exam in his life because his imagination is very rich.

Pu Songling usually doesn't work hard to study for exams, and no matter how many times he takes the exam, he can't pass it.

Because he hasn't learned enough. I didn't use the experience for exams, I used it for storytelling.

Because Pu Songling has devoted his whole life to creating chats.

It's just that his knowledge is not as good as others, and he has never been able to gain fame.

Forced by life, in addition to being invited by Sun Hui, the magistrate of Tongyi County, to be a guest for him for several years.

In ancient times, the imperial examination was an important way for the dynasty to select talents, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the imperial examination was the only way for scholars in the world to achieve themselves. If the son of the family participates in the imperial examination, he will not be infamous as a middle-class family, and he will even "be better than the blue" and carry forward the family again. If a poor scholar participates in the imperial examination, he will no longer have to live a poor life, and he will continue to rise to the top and display his political ambitions and talents.

It is enough to see how important the imperial examination is, Pu Songling is also a person who is keen to participate in the imperial examination, but he has been taking the examination for 44 years, and he has not even passed the examination. <>

Pu Songling was born in Zibo, Shandong Province in 1640, alias Liuquan Jushi, known as Mr. Liao ZhaiHis ** "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" is still very popular in modern times, not only is his work widely read, but also many film and television works have come into being. However, he tried and failed in his early years, and did not become a tribute until he was 71 years old. Pu Songling hates the imperial examination very much, but he is also taking the exam in the process of hating, which can be said to be a bit contradictory.

So why do you hate the imperial examination so much and keep taking it? <>

First, resentment is resentment, and the ideal still has to be realized.

Pu Songling is an ideal and dignified person, who wants to revitalize his family since he was a child, and the best way out is to take the imperial examination to become an official and build the family.

Second, Pu Songling is indeed talented, and it can be seen from his "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" that such a talented person, how can he let his talent not be displayed? Taking the imperial examination is the best way to do it. <>

Third, even though he hated the imperial examination, Pu Songling also knew what he should doIf you want to complete your dreams and display your talents, the best way is to take the science and technology exam.

Because in ancient times, he could only become famous by taking the imperial examination, so even if he hated the imperial examination system, he still needed to take the imperial examination.

Because in ancient times, there were very few ways out for men, and the best way was to take the imperial examination.

Because he is also helpless to do this, after all, he also has to live.

Pu Songling hated the imperial examination system because he couldn't pass the exam, but he had the idea of getting ahead, so he kept taking the exam again.

Because it is impossible not to insist on the test if you fail the test once, people must have perseverance.

Because in ancient times, scholars had no better way out than to participate in the imperial examination, and even if they were in business, they would be looked down upon.

Because at that time, the imperial examination was the only way out for scholars.

Although he hated the imperial examination system very much, his ideals would also be fulfilled.

He just wanted to prove himself and wanted to be useful through the imperial examination system.

Because the exams at that time were all rotten eight-strand essays, the candidates' results all depend on the examiner to judge, although Pu Songling is talented, but his talent is in writing books, and the articles he writes are not treated by the examiners at that time.

Pu Songling has taken more than ten exams, and once he suddenly fell ill in the examination room and could not continue to take the exam; Another time, he got a recommendation from **, and he should have won the game, but when he was doing the question, he was brilliant and went beyond the fixed format, and was finally disqualified from the exam ......Moreover, in the ancient imperial examinations, the results of the candidates depended on the judgment of the examiners.

Most of the reason is that when he was taking the exam, the content he wrote did not fit the topic of the article, and although he was very talented, he could not pass the exam.

Everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at. Pu Songling wrote "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" because he couldn't pass the exam. Perhaps the imperial examination system at that time was not suitable for him.

He used to be the first in the county in the township test. But since then, it has been tried and failed. It should have something to do with the darkness of officialdom at that time.

His thinking did not conform to the thinking of the society at that time, and the imperial examination system at that time was based on the Four Books and Five Classics, and those who had real talent and real learning were buried.

Because Pu Songling is his life's ambition to be an official, he must draw it to commemorate it.

Because Pu Songling has never been admitted to the examination for the whole of his life, he wants to feel what it is like to be an official.

It was his life's wish to gain fame, and when he was alive, he couldn't realize that he wore an official uniform when he was away, but it was also his own wish.

I haven't been famous all my life, so I have a special yearning to wear an official uniform, but I just thought about my own wishes.

Because he didn't have it all his lifePassed the exam, wearing the portrait of the official uniform is also to give himself a comfort.

Pu Songling has been a student for ten years, and he is a tribute student who ranks in seniority and ranks up to be promoted, and a county can promote a person in three years. If you are a tribute, theoretically speaking, you can be an official. As a result, Pu Songling had an official title: candidate for Confucian teaching.

Confucian discipline is not an official, nor is he a character, he can only be regarded as a small official. In feudal society, there are official schools at all levels, that is, officials in education, ** there are national eunuchs, there are government schools in the province, and the lowest is the county school. The full instructor of the county school is called "Teaching", and this position must be held by a person.

The deputy instructor is called "Confucian Instructor", and he can send tribute students to do it.

Pu Songling's "Confucian Teachings" is preceded by the word "candidate". In other words, you have the qualifications to do Confucian teaching, but whether you can do it or not has to be decided by the governor according to the situation. What's the situation?

First of all, let's take a look at whether there are any vacant seats in Shandong Province except for Zichuan County? If there are vacant seats, also check to see if there is anyone in line ahead of you

Pu Songling was only a tribute student after 27 years, or a "candidate Confucian instructor", to be a real vice principal of a county middle school, I don't know how long I have to queue up to get there?

For Pu Songling, who is over the age of old, the biggest advantage of Gongsheng is that he can come a littleSpiritual comfort, and a little material benefit: 4 taels of tribute silver. Even so, the county magistrate refused to give him a tree flag plaque and pay tribute to silver.

After many requests, the county order later gave him a plaque, but the few taels of tribute silver Pu Songling never got it once.

Later, Pu Songling's son invited a painter to take a portrait of him, thinking that his father had never been an official in his life, so he asked him to paint a portrait in an official uniform, just to give his father a comfort, and he didn't have to care what other people thought.

Because his dream is to be an official. I left a portrait of myself wearing an official uniform for future generations to see.

Because of this time's fame, there will be no such opportunity in the future.

It should have been a petty official later, or it wasn't an official uniform.

Pu Songling, who couldn't even pass the exam in his life, the only portrait left is the official uniform he wears, because this is the regret of his life.
