The last imperial examination in history was held in 1904, and this examination also produced the first place, the second place and the third place, namely Liu Chunlin, Zhu Ruzhen and Shang.
1, top scholar Liu Chunlin. He was only 32 years old when he won the first prize in Hebei. His handwriting is good, and calligraphy and painting in small letters are top grade. After resigning, he became a collector of calligraphy and painting. As the mayor of Beiping, he flatly refused to win over the Japanese, and was retaliated by the Japanese, taking away all the calligraphy and painting collections. Liu Chunlin died on 1944.
2. Second place Zhu Ruzhen, a native of Guangdong, served as editor of the Hanlin Academy after winning the prize. He was active in the south study room (where the emperor studied) and had more contact with Puyi at that time. When the Qing Dynasty fell, he helped to write slogans, banners and so on. You never wrote it when you signed it? Republic, to express their position. Zhu Ruzhen died of a stroke in the summer of 1943.
3. Explore Jean-Ada. He went to Japan to study as the top scholar and the second, and served as a deputy in the Qing government. After the Qing Dynasty, he worked in the Colonial Institute in Hamburg, Germany (that is, the University of Hamburg, Germany) and returned to China on 19 16. Shang died in 1963.
As the last top three in the history of China, their talents and accomplishments in literature and calligraphy were greatly appreciated by later generations. Unfortunately, they were born at the wrong time and failed to make much progress. But in troubled times, they still retain the solar terms of Chinese children, preferring to be natives rather than traitors. The imperial examination in feudal times was more cruel than the current college entrance examination to select talents. In order to gain fame, the ancients studied hard at night, hoping to serve their country and become the first one one day.
