What's A's name?

The first place is the champion, the second place is the second place, and the third place is the flower exploration.

The palace exam is divided into three levels of admission. The first one is for Jinshi and, the second one is for Jinshi origin, and the third one is for Jinshi origin. The first one admitted three students, the first one is commonly known as the number one scholar, the second one is commonly known as the second one, and the third one is commonly known as Tan Hua, which is collectively called Sandingjia. Second place, first place, commonly known as biography. The number one scholar we are talking about is also the result of the court examination.

For example, there is a reason why "Gongkao No.1" has these titles. First of all, the number one scholar appeared in the Tang Dynasty. After the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, the examiner handed the admission file to the province under the door, and then the province under the door wrote a complaint and reported it to the emperor for approval. The first name in this complaint was called "Xiangtou" at that time.

This is a special term used by court officials in their daily work. Later, people thought that the "head shape" was too indecent, so they changed it to "No.1 scholar". Because it is written on the form paper, it is the first, and Yuan means the first.
