No.1 scholar is just like the top of today's gaopu exam. At present, there are about 7 top scholars who have left their names in the historical records. They all became world-famous after studying hard and became the best in scientific research at that time. Because literature and philosophy are the criteria for selecting talents in all dynasties, although there are many politicians and historians among these top scholars, there are still many writers. Among them, He Zhizhang, Wang Wei and Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xiaoxiang, Wen Tianxiang and Lv Meng in the Song Dynasty, Hu Guang and Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty, Weng Tonghe and Zhang Jian in the Qing Dynasty, etc. The number one scholar in the middle school is called "the greatest achievement in the world", which is the highest honor for scholars. However, because of personal factors or the constraints of the environment at that time, most of the number one scholars were unable to reach out and make a difference in their lives, and eventually they were lost in the torrent of history.
The top scholar was originally called "the form head". Originally, the taxi who took the exam in the Tang Dynasty was sent to the capital through the state tribute, and the "form" had to be delivered before taking the exam, which is similar to the situation of filling in the information during today's exam. After the exam, putting the highest score at the front is called "head". The first person is also called the champion because of his head shape.
in Ming and Qing dynasties, there were 123 palace examination, whose names were determined to be "No.1 scholar", "No.2 scholar" and "Flower exploration", which were collectively called "Sandingjia". The position of the champion is becoming more and more special, and the new champion is edited by the Hanlin Academy of Liupin as usual. Hanlin is known as the "storage phase", because this position is closer to the emperor and the chances of promotion are faster than those of the same list.
In palace examination in the Qing Dynasty, the candidates' calligraphy was the main way to judge whether they were good or bad. At first, the Qing government only asked the examination papers to be neat in form, so that the examiners could review the examination papers. In the Kangxi period, Kangxi, who was in middle age, became interested in calligraphy, so all the scholars in the world practiced calligraphy diligently under the influence of the upward trend. And this trend has a great influence on the selection of the top scholar. In the 3th year of Kangxi, palace examination proposed Wu Min as the top scholar, but Kangxi liked the calligraphy of Dai Youqi, who came second, so Dai Youqi became the top scholar appointed by hand.
Second place
The second place is the name of the scholar who won the second place in palace examination in the Chinese imperial examination system. Together with the first scholar and the third Tanhua, the second place is called "Three Dingjia".
at the beginning, the first place was the champion, and the second and third places were both called the second place; It means that the second and third place are about the number one scholar, such as their eyes. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, only the second place was ranked second, and the third place was called Flower Exploration. The name "No.2" is the same as "No.1 Scholar" and "Flower Exploration", which are actually used by the society. On the official gold medal list, only the first place in Jinshi A, the second place in A, and the third place in A will be called.
Flower exploration
Flower exploration is the name that won the third place among palace examination scholars in the Chinese imperial examination system, and it is called "Sandingjia" together with the first scholar and the second runner-up.
"Exploring Flowers" has appeared in the imperial examination classics in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the scholars of the Chinese Academy of Sciences would visit the garden to celebrate, which was called the "Flower Exploration Banquet". Take the young and beautiful Jinshi as "flower-seeking ambassadors" and pick flowers in famous gardens to meet the champion. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, Jinshi had to go through the Emperor palace examination, and there were only three people in Jinshi A. At the beginning, the first name was the champion, and the second and third names were called the second place; It means that the second and third place are about the number one scholar, such as their eyes. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, only the second place was ranked second, and the third place was called Flower Exploration.
