There are many talents in this world, including Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Jiangsu, but the talents in Sanjiang are not as good as those in my hometown. Among the gifted scholars in my hometown, my brother's literary talent is very high, because I reviewed and revised all his articles.
The story of the examiner Jiangnan:
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the examiners of the imperial examinations in Jiangnan were all local celebrities, and several examiners were changed one after another, all of whom were teased by the talented people in Jiangnan and returned in a mess. Emperor Qianlong had no choice but to send Wang Erlie, a bachelor of imperial academy, to preside over the Sanjiang exam. When those gifted scholars heard about it, they got together and discussed it. They thought that Wang Erlie was just an ordinary Jiangbei guy, and he would only come up with such topics as "learning while learning". When Wang Erlie found out, he was determined to treat these arrogant guys well.
In the first exam, Wang Erlie really took "learning while learning" as the topic. All the candidates laughed, thinking that Wang Erlie was so much, and they all wrote a big article magnificently. Strangely, however, Wang Erlie was also sitting in the exam shed writing.
The second exam, the topic is "learning from time to time", so all candidates have to work hard to finish it. Wang Erlie is still sitting in the exam shed writing.
In the third exam, the topic was still "study from time to time", and all the candidates were dumbfounded and handed in blank papers one by one. What is even more surprising is that Wang Erlie is still sitting in the examination room writing.
After three exams, Wang Erlie smiled at everyone: "You took the exam three times, and I also wrote three articles and posted them on the sidelines. Please give me more advice. " When all the candidates gathered around, they saw three articles with extraordinary ideas and unique features, which was really amazing. However, one of the candidates refused to accept it and wrote a couplet and posted it on the pillar of Wang Erlie's residence: there are many talents in Qian Shan, Jiangnan
Wang Erlie went out to have a look and went out without thinking: Saibei is a saint every day.
This couplet and the first couplet are not only neat, but also magnificent. All the performers were so impressed that they all came to praise Wang Erlie. Wang Erlie felt no need to be modest with these pretentious people, so he smiled and sang a doggerel:
The number of articles in the world is Sanjiang, and the number of articles in Sanjiang is my hometown. Hometown articles count as my brother, and I change articles for my brother.
