The exact number of number one champions in history who "won three yuan in a row" should be 18:
1. Three in the Tang Dynasty
Cui Yuanhan (729-795), Ph.D. A native of Ling'anping (now Dingzhou, Hebei Province). The name is Peng, and the character is Yixing. In the second year of Jianzhong's reign (781), Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty won the first prize in Xinyouke. Jinshi and the 17th person in this subject. Examiner: Yu Shao, Minister of Rites. The test questions include "Bai Yun Qi Feng Zhong Fu" and so on. Cui Yuanhan was the first person in China to "continue to win three yuan", and "The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty" contains seven of his poems.
Wu Yihuang, courtesy name Kunyu, was an official in Dali. The official title was Jie Tou, the title was Zhuang Tou, and the macro name was Chi Tou. His name was Wu Shi San Tou, and his birth and death are unknown. The official history of the Tang Dynasty records very little about him, so I am here to support him and rectify his name.
Zhang Youxin, courtesy name Kong Zhao, was the son of Zhang Jian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and a native of Luze, Shenzhou (Shenxian County, Hebei Province). He won the first prize in the ninth year of Yuanhe (814). His birth and death are unknown. He wrote 17 popular poems and one volume of "Jiancha Shui Ji", which is another important tea ceremony research work in my country after Lu Yu's "Tea Classic".
There are records that Bai Minzhong (cousin of Bai Juyi), the prime minister of the late Tang Dynasty, also won three yuan in a row. This is a misinformation. Although Bai Minzhong passed the number one scholar, he was not the first in the provincial examination.
2. Six names in the Song Dynasty
Sun He (961-1004) was born in Ruyang, Caizhou (now Runan, Henan), with the courtesy name Han Gong. In the third year of Chunhua, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty (992), Renchen became the number one scholar. die young. He is the author of more than ten articles in "Refutation of History" and forty volumes of collected works handed down to the world.
Wang Zeng (978-1038) was born in Yidu, Qingzhou (now Yidu, Shandong). His courtesy name was Xiaoxian and his posthumous title was Wenzheng. In the fifth year of Xianping reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty (1002), Renyin became the number one scholar. From official to prime minister, he had no major political achievements. His author "Wang Wenzhenggong's Records" has been handed down to the world.
Song Xiang (996-1066) was born in Yongqiu, Kaifeng (now Qixian County, Henan Province). His courtesy name was Gongxu and his initial name was Jiao. In the second year of Tiansheng's reign (1024), Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty became the number one scholar in Jiazike. He was demoted to Yangzhou for impeaching Fan Zhongyan. If you stay in the position for a long time, you will never achieve anything.
Yang Tie (1014-1044) was born in Hefei, Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui), with the courtesy name Shenxian. In the second year of Qingli reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty (1042), he became the number one scholar in Renwu Branch. After winning the first prize, he was awarded the post of Superintendent of the General, General Judge of Yingzhou. However, his mother died of illness and could not take up the post in time. Not long after the funeral, Yang Guo also fell ill and became increasingly weak. He finally passed away at the age of thirty.
Feng Jing (1021-1094), a native of Jiangxia, Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei Province), was named Dangshi. In the first year of Emperor Renzong's reign (1049), he became the number one scholar in Ji Chou Branch. He had political disagreements with Wang Anshi and was demoted many times. Later, he was favored by Sima Guang. His political achievements throughout his life were mediocre.
Wang Yansou (about 1043-1093), courtesy name Yanlin, was a native of Qingping (now Duwa Village, Linqing) in the Song Dynasty. . "History of the Song Dynasty" Biography of Wang Yansou" records: "Yansou ranked first in the eighteenth grade in the provincial examinations, provincial examinations, and imperial examinations. "He has an upright character and is upright, and he has reached the rank of prime minister.
Some people think that Chen Yaosou and Peng Ruli, two champions, also won three prizes in a row. After careful research, I resolutely excluded the two.
3. A name from the Liao Dynasty
Wang Tang (?-1094), a native of Zhuozhou Xincheng (Zhuoxian area, Hebei Province), with an unknown name, was the number one scholar in Bingxu Branch in the 15th year of Chongxi reign of Emperor Xingzong of Liao Dynasty (1046). . The official worshiped the prime minister of Nanfu and later died of illness. During his tenure, the law was revised and he had more political achievements. The officials of Song and Liao rarely recorded this case.
IV. Jin Dynasty. His name is Meng Songxian, whose birth and death dates are unknown. He was born in Kaifeng (now part of Henan Province), named Youzhi, and became a scholar in Guiwei in the third year of Emperor Shizong of Liao Dynasty (1163). Soon after, his mother died of illness and he was overly sad.
5. A man from the Yuan Dynasty
Wang Chongzhe, whose birth and death years are unknown. He was named Yuanju. He was the first scholar in Zuobang (the list of Han people and Southerners, with more difficult test questions) in the eighth year of Yuan Dynasty (1348). He had no great achievements in history.
6. Two people from the Ming Dynasty
Huang Guan (1361-1402), also known as Lanbo and Shangbin, was a native of Qingjiang, Guichi County, Anhui Province. In the 24th year of Hongwu's reign (1391), the policy statement for the palace examination advocated "stationing troops on the fortress, plowing and guarding, rejecting them when they come, and defending them when they leave, so that the Chinese will be disturbed and the border will be threatened." He won the first place in the palace examination. So far, he has won the first place in six examinations (county examination, prefecture examination, college examination, township examination, general examination, palace examination). People at that time said that "three yuan exists in the world, but six poems are not in the world." Later Yan King Zhu Di "Jingnan" " After conquering Nanjing, Huang Guan, who was supervising the aid from various places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, learned that Emperor Hui was dead. Knowing that the situation was over, he threw himself into the river. Huang Guan is not even recorded as the number one scholar in many official ancient books. I carefully checked and found out that it is indeed the "three yuan in succession", and this is hereby added.
Shang Ren (1414-1486), a native of Chun'an, Zhejiang Province, had the courtesy name Hongzai, the nickname Su'an, and the posthumous title Wenyi. He ranked first in the provincial examination in 1435, but failed many times after that. Ten years later, he ranked first in the general examination, and then in the palace examination. He became the number one scholar in Yichou in the ten years of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy. Strictly speaking, Shang Ren cannot be called the "Three Elements of Lianzhong", but should be called the "Three Elements of Single Element". He is outspoken and upright, and serves as a minister in the same court as Yu Qian. From the official to the Minister of Civil Service, the world praised him as "a wise prime minister of a generation". He is the author of "Shang Wenyi's Sketches", "Shang Wenyi's Gongji", "Zhuanshan Bichen", as well as the "Song and Yuan Tongjian Compendium", "Huanyu Tongzhi" and other books.
Some people classify Yang Shouqin, the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, as one of the "three consecutive winners". In fact, he only got third place in the provincial examination, so he was not shortlisted. I would like to clarify here.
7. Two in the Qing Dynasty
Qian Qi (1734-1799) was a native of Changzhou, Jiangnan (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). The courtesy name is Zhenwei and the nickname is Xiangguan. In the forty-sixth year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1781), Xin Chou became the number one scholar. His fellow scholars included Chen Wanqing and Wang Xuejin. He has not accomplished much in his life.
Chen Jichang (1791-1840) was a native of Lingui, Guangxi. His original name was Shourui, his courtesy name was Zhechen, and his nickname was Lianshi. In the twenty-fifth year of the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty (1820), he became the number one scholar in Gengchen Branch. Among the Jinshi in the same list are Xu Naipu and Chen Luan, who were promoted to governor of Jiangsu. He is the author of Ru Hua Zhai Shi Cun and Dian Shi Ce.
