The only surviving champion in the Ming Dynasty, was the examination paper, calligraphy and content top-notch?

Imperial Examination is the system of selecting talents in ancient China. According to the data, China has a history of 1300 years. Over the past 1000 years, there have been more than 700 top scholars, and most of the top scholars' papers have vanished with time and history. The only top paper we can see now is Zhao, the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

This palace examination paper was donated to the country by Zhao's first 13 grandson in the 1980s. It is the only paper in the top ranking in the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years. Now it is a national first-class cultural relic with very important historical and cultural value. The coincidence of history made us ordinary people see the number one paper that only the emperor could see hundreds of years ago. When we have the chance, we really should go to the museum.

This number one paper has a total length of 268 cm, more than two meters. The height of the frame part is 47.6 cm, and the inside height is 14. 1 cm. The whole frame is well preserved and can be said to be a masterpiece.

The whole article is written in small block letters, with a width less than 1 cm and a * * *, with 2460 words. This paper expounds Zhao's views on the state official system and some methods of enriching the country and reassuring the people.

The whole * * * volume is divided into three parts. The first part is ***4 fold, which records the resumes of Zhao himself and three generations. In three of them, they are all covered with red letters? Ritual seal? .

The second part is a positive volume, which is more than two meters long. A * * * 15 fold, each fold 6 lines, * * * 2460 words. The first volume is written in pavilion block letters, and the end of the sentence is circled in red. The whole volume has not been altered, flowing like a pen, neat brushwork and even words, just like printing today.

The most eye-catching thing is the six big characters approved by Emperor Wanli in front of the text:? First place. First place? The official defense chief's seal is also stamped below. These six bright red characters are the highest pursuit of countless cold window students in their lives, and also the highest praise of feudal kings for this paper.

The third part is 30% off, which records the names and titles of nine marking officials, including three ministers: the official department, the household department and the criminal department. At the end of the paper is the name and title of the printer.
