All kinds of champions in history

The title of "number one scholar" began in the Tang Dynasty. During the more than 1000 years from the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, * * * held 745 examinations and admitted 653 well-documented literary champions. Among them, there are some unique alternative champions. Ding Maoke, the number one scholar, was the number one scholar in the thirty-sixth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, Li Panren, and a native of Tongshan, Jiangsu. His family is poor, so he took 30 steamed buns when he went to Beijing for the exam. Eat steamed bread every morning, noon and evening. On the first day of the exam, everyone else handed in their papers. Before he finished answering, he was so anxious that he was sweating until the fourth watch. Eating steamed bread three times a day is not only a kind of mind, but also an ability. No wonder Emperor Kangxi appointed him as the top scholar when he heard about it. Huang, the top scholar in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, came from a poor family. 34 years old, I want to go to Beijing for an exam and borrow money from my father-in-law. Look at my father-in-law's rags He didn't even let him into the living room, only gave him two duck eggs. My father-in-law's servant pitied him and secretly gave him some money. Unexpectedly, this Huang turned out to be the top student in high school. Later, he wrote an article "Duck Eggs" and gave it to his father-in-law. Many of these epigrams are widely circulated. Lin Zhen, the top scholar of Geng Xu family during the reign of Xuande in Ming Dynasty, had the shortest official time and was awarded to imperial academy for editing. However, after being an official for a month, he didn't like this kind of official style and asked to resign and return to the fields and go home to farm. Being a champion has the happiness of being a champion, and being a farmer has the happiness of being a farmer. Happiness lies in feeling, and happiness lies in satisfaction. Don't force others or yourself. Emperor Chongzhen, the champion in the lottery, wanted to make a difference after he acceded to the throne. In the first year of Chongzhen, he became a scholar. After the imperial examination, the marking minister carefully selected the top 36 papers and submitted them to Chongzhen for approval. However, Chongzhen suspected that he might not be able to choose talents by his own eyesight, so he burned incense and asked for a real talent. Then write down the names of these 36 Jinshi, make a lot, put them in a pot, and then clip them up with gold chopsticks. As a result, he was arrested three times, all of them were Liu Ruozai, so Liu Ruozai was named the top scholar. In 54, when Qianlong was in the Qing Dynasty, he was a famous scholar, and he helped his friends in the examination. Emperor Qianlong was 79 years old. Age has become his main psychological burden. After the court examination, the marking minister submitted the top ten papers for his approval. When Gan Long saw the tenth place, his name was Hu Changling, and his heart was pounding. Doesn't the word "longevity" mean long life? So with a stroke of a pen, Hu Changling was appointed as the champion. Taking the highest prize by name is the laughing stock of an era. Coincidentally, the 29th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty coincided with the seventieth birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi. In this year's court exam, the examiner found that one of the candidates named Shoupeng Wang, Shou Peng, meant to live longer than Peng Zu, while the legendary birthday star Peng Zu lived over 800 years. In order to please Cixi, the examiners decided to propose Shoupeng Wang as the first prize and submit it to Empress Dowager Cixi for approval. Sure enough, Cixi liked the name very much, so she appointed him as the number one scholar. There is a play called "Female Xu", which is the first scholar to recruit talents and introduce wisdom, and it is about recruiting Xu. In reality, there is a female champion in history who appeared in Hong Xiuquan's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom settled in Nanjing in 1853, it began to recruit talents, including hundreds of scholars, seven of whom were top scholars in Chinese Wushu. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also set up a women's department, and the number one female scholar admitted was Fu Shanxiang. Fu Shanxiang, who was only 19 years old, won the championship in one fell swoop and caused a sensation in Tianjing. At first, Fu Shanxiang worked as a clerk in the East Wangfu, that is, a secretary. Later, he was promoted to the left prime minister in front of the temple.
