Lianzhong Sanyuan
Lianzhong Sanyuan, or Sanyuan and the first word come from the ancient Chinese imperial examination system. Candidates in the provincial examination are called "Juren", and the first one in the examination is called "Jieyuan"; candidates in the general examination are called "Gongsheng", and the first one in the imperial examination is called "Huiyuan"; candidates in the imperial examination are called "Huiyuan". To be a "Jinshi", the first person is called "Zhuangyuan" or "Dianyuan". The first place in the provincial examination, the joint examination, and the palace examination in succession is called "three consecutive wins". In the ancient Chinese imperial examination system, 17 people were able to pass three yuan in a row. They are:
Zhang Youxin and Zhun Yuanhan in the Tang Dynasty;
Sun He, Wang Zeng, Song Xiang, Yang Chi, Wang Ruosou, Feng Jing;
Meng Songxian of the Jin Dynasty;
Wang Chongzhe of the Yuan Dynasty;
Huang Guan and Shang Ren of the Ming Dynasty ;
Qian Biao, Chen Jichang and Dai Quheng in the Qing Dynasty.
In addition, there have been two "Wu Sanyuan" in history.
The first one is that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Mingshi, a native of Yongjia, Zhejiang Province, was awarded three yuan in martial arts in Lienzhong, and was awarded the imperial title of guarding thousands of households. He was well versed in classics and history, and was good at poetry and calligraphy. People at the time called his martial arts, poetry, and calligraphy the "Three Wonders." What is particularly commendable is that he has a strong character, does not flatter the powerful, and is quite a straightforward gentleman.
The second is Wang Yubi, also from Zhejiang during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, who won three yuan in the martial arts department. This person took part in the Wu Xiucai examination in the late Ming Dynasty and ranked first in archery. He was known as the "Master Archer", so people praised him as "Wu Siyuan". Although he was born as a warrior, he never let go of the scrolls, his writing was excellent, and he was known as a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs.
