The things in life are actually very simple. I summed it up, there are about two points:
One, if you want to achieve something, two words:
Hold on!
Second, if you want to deal with people, two words:
Be patient!
However, things in the world are often:
It's easier said than done.
Therefore, things in life, though simple, are still impossible for most people.
When reading the notes of the Qing Dynasty, I saw a man who passed the imperial examination until he was ninety years old.
After reading this, suddenly, my idea changed, and I immediately felt:
Imperial examination is no longer a tragedy, satire or even farce quoted by Jin Fan in The Scholars, but a comedy.
Think about it:
A 90-year-old grandfather is still taking the imperial examination, which is not only a persistent spirit, but also a pleasure for him, I guess.
Next, let's take a look at how the notes of the Qing Dynasty describe related things.
Chen Kangqi, a native, recorded this strange thing in the first volume of Lang Zheng's "The First Pen of Moon Hee" and Xie's "Ascension to Heaven".
During the Qing Dynasty (Aisin Gioro Hung Li) (1736 ~ 1795), there was a man named Xie in eastern Guangdong.
Xie Qizhuo is 98 years old, but he continues to enter the autumn and take the provincial examination.
As we all know, what is called a "juror" in rural examinations.
After becoming a juren, you can get the qualification to take the exam.
It should be pointed out that:
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, juren received preferential treatment, and once they were elected, they would always be eligible to continue to take the exam. Moreover, there is another difference between juren in Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, they can enter the official career because of this.
From this, we can understand how Jin Fan in The Scholars was rejected before he was elected. I lifted it in the middle, ecstatic, how flattered.
Zhongju, in the Qing dynasty, means that you are eligible to enter and.
According to Xie Qizhuo, he is so old because he has been in the examination room for many years. It is said that according to the past example at that time, he could have applied to the Qing court to give birth to a gift for himself.
In fact, whenever a senior official of the Qing court wanted to put Xie's name on the list of applications for gifts, Xie would try his best to stop it. This is what he said:
"Every surname has its own days, depending on everyone's life. Although I am a little old, my words haven't fallen. So, how can I see that I will not be proud of old scholars in my life? "
Xie Qizhuo is a real China native after having obtained the provincial examination in Bingwu.
After the provincial examination in the Qing dynasty, it was held once every three years in the lunar calendar. Therefore, it is not wrong to say in the notes that Xie Qizhuo took the provincial examination in Bingwu.
According to the data, it can be basically determined that the year of Bingwu was the fifty-first year of Qianlong (AD 1786).
Although he is old, Xie Qizhuo is still happy, but still satisfied.
After ZhongJu, Xie Qizhuo compared his late Chinese style to an old woman getting married, and he also wrote a poem, which said:
98 years old, it is shameful to get married.
Look in the mirror, ytterbium peanut and comb your hair with a snow comb.
I know I'm a virgin and I'm old.
Send a word to a young woman, don't brag too early.
Xie Qizhuo wrote down his feelings at that time with picturesque poems and beaming:
Although my old man is 98 years old, it seems that getting married at such a big age should be quiet. However, when it comes to getting married, my mood is still rippling, as shy as a girl.
Look at my face before marriage in the mirror and smile. My face has blossomed. Even if you don't laugh, at this time, the wrinkles on your face are naturally flowers that grow in front of the mirror. Pick up the comb, covered with frost and snow, which is unique among married brides.
No matter what others say or think, I know very well that I am still a real virgin. Outsiders don't know that I am old, but I am still old. Old is old, everyone is happy, let's call it that.
Although I am old, I want to get married, I will get married, and I will be a butterfly. So, I want to say to those beautiful young girls that you have been accompanied by a good couple for a long time. Actually, there's nothing to boast about, and so do I.
It is said that Xie Qizhuo is also on the same list as a child of 12 years old.
At that time, a governor recorded this great event with a poem at a banquet to celebrate the road after having obtained the national examination, including the following sentence:
Seeing the old people on the Antarctic horizon, the spring breeze will appear.
The old man in the Antarctic thanked him and called him a twelve-year-old child.
This moment was passed down as a much-told story.
The so-called Ming Road Banquet is a kind of banquet stipulated in the imperial examination system, which began in the Tang Dynasty and was used until the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, on the second day after the provincial examination, examiners, examiners, scholars, curtain officials and Chinese juren were invited to sing the poem "Luming Literature" and dance kuixing.
The following year, Xie Qizhuo took the exam.
According to the above calculation, this year is fifty-two years of Qianlong, that is, AD 1787, that is, four years of the lunar calendar, the year of the Qing court examination.
This word must be tested, and the Qing court gave special favor and gave Xie Qizhuo the title of minister.
Three years later, Xie Qizhuo attended the celebration of Ganlong's 80th birthday.
According to the above calculation, this year is 55 years of Qianlong, that is, AD 1790.
At the birthday celebration, Xie Qizhuo wished Emperor Qianlong a good year, during which he was promoted to the title of Hong Rongqing.
According to the information, this year, Emperor Qianlong was just eighty years old.
Congratulations on Ganlong's 80th birthday. Before he left, Emperor Qianlong also gave Xie an imperial poem to show his respect.
Since then, it has been more than ten years since Xie Qizhuo died.
In this way, Xie Qizhuo enjoyed a life span of nearly 120 years, which is really rare!
Rumor has it that someone personally read Xie Qizhuo's resume in Zhu Juan, and learned from Xie Qizhuo's resume:
Xie Qizhuo has married three wives; There are two concubines; Gave birth to thirteen sons and twelve daughters; * * * has 29 grandchildren; Thirty-eight great-grandchildren; Great-great grandson
Xie Qizhuo is old, and he was one of them in Qing Dynasty.
Xie Qizhuo has a well-off family and many descendants. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a second one at that time.
This man's story was told by Chen Kangqi when he was in Beijing.
Later, Chen Kangqi saw Yu's "Yin Xuexuan's Essays" in Deqing (Zhejiang) and recorded this person's affairs. Therefore, Chen Kangqi believes that this should not be nonsense or absurd rhetoric.
Yu's family, namely Yu Hongjian, belongs to Yu Yue, a famous scholar, writer, scholar, archaeologist and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty.
Judging from Chen Kangqi's last narrative, although he was writing about this person, he still had doubts, so he quoted Yu's records to confirm this person's story.
Not only Chen Kangqi doubts, but I also doubt when I write these words.
Mr. Yu's Collected Papers on Yin Xuexuan does have four volumes, but I haven't found the details of this book yet. If you have this book, please feel free to give me your advice!
In order to confirm the relevant events, I also searched the relevant information. The records of the Qing dynasty include:
Fifty-one years of Qianlong (A.D. 1786):
Yu said: "This year, Tubu Jinshi, three people have been over 90 years old." . The traitor Zuo Qi, a Chinese-style juren; Peng's China vice list; Xie Huang finished reading the book in three games and can't speak Chinese. In addition to Xie's Chinese-style juren, Peng Yiyou and Xie Huang both offered their thanks to the juren and let them try as a person. Give me a problem, I will be poor, and I will be grateful to you. "
Here, there is a Guangdong exam this year. Xie Qizhuo, who is over 90 years old, was promoted with Chinese style (really Chinese style).
Sixty years of Qianlong (A.D. 1795):
"Yu Yue: Zhu Guizou, imperial academy commented on Xie Qizhuo, 120 years old, calmly watching shoes. Xie Qizhuo is over 100 years old and hale and hearty. Zeng Yuan lived under one roof for five generations. I will give you an editorial title, a fixed number of imperial books, a pair of big wallets and four small wallets. All the places that should be rewarded for building workshops are still the same. "
Relevant records are not far from notes.
As can be seen from the above, Xie Qizhuo 1795 years old, and 1786 years old were reversed. Xie Qizhuo was 93 years old when he was lifted in the middle.
The celebration of the eightieth anniversary of the fifty-second year of Qianlong (A.D. 1787) is:
"... eighty or ninety-year-old-friends, Xie Huang, Wang Xiegong,-Zuo, Tu and Zhu Shaobi (about forty people in all) ..."
According to historical records, Xie Qizhuo's life story is basically true, and the age is slightly different, which is probably a mistake passed down by word of mouth.

The above is about Gan Long's Bingwu Year and Gan Long's sharing. I have been studying for the first year of Qianlong for many years. I hope this will help everyone!
