1, social roots: few people are officials, so some scholars are 18 years, and they have waited all their lives but have not waited for work. This is a realistic factor and cannot be changed at that time.
2. Ideological roots: the natural sciences in feudal society developed slowly, and literature was relatively pure. Feudal literati believed that the only way to achieve self was to be an official, while commerce, agriculture and medicine were long despised and popular underground, which caused abnormal competition in extremely monotonous industries.
3. Cultural roots: quality education is too good and exam-oriented education is too bad. Private school teachers can't grasp the topic, rarely assign homework, and often teach him the basics of being a man. The more prosperous the social literati are, the more wild they are and the farther away they are from politics.
4. Other human factors: the factional struggle of literati has been said since ancient times that literature is not the first and martial arts is not the second. It can be seen that the literati has a long history. Some articles don't appreciate each other, some have fought for prostitutes in the land of fireworks, and some have taken refuge in different dignitaries with conflicts of interest.
5. Objective fact: Literati are not necessarily good politicians, especially pedantic. Excellent politicians rarely discuss people's titles with articles, such as Zhao Pu and others, while those who are poor and don't know what classics are often successful. The best intellectuals are black sheep, such as Li Yu, who has a river flowing eastward, and Hui Zong, who has both calligraphy and painting.

For a long time, there have been a large number of talented romantic talents in the history of China, such as the talented Tang Bohu, but this shortage of talents is often caused by its own reasons. Moreover, the ancients didn't have any hints, and life sometimes needs a little skill!
There is a saying in the Book of Changes in the Western Zhou Dynasty: A gentleman hides his tools in his body and waits for the opportunity. In other words, although a gentleman is talented, he doesn't let people show off. However, it is not unlimited to hide yourself, so we should seize the right opportunity in time! Interpretation of Possession and Body: Although you have the ability, you don't need to find someone to show off meaningless, you should be good at hiding yourself!
This kind of ostentation has no clear meaning, and it will waste your time and consume your energy. You know, China culture has always paid attention to low-key, and many times low-key can solve many problems or avoid many meaningless problems.
For example, Mr. Si Mahui, the water mirror in troubled times, as Zhuge Liang's teacher of Pang Tong, was undoubtedly the most outstanding talent at that time. But he just lived in seclusion in the suburbs in a low-key way, avoiding the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms period, and finally achieved the nickname of Mr. Shuijing.
