The ancients, when the title of the gold list is inscribed, the long drought is in the rain, the old acquaintance in another country, and the candle night in the cave house are the four fortunate things in life, and the champion is the best ranking on the gold list, which is the dream of every aspiring young man.

In ancient times, how much official position could be awarded to the champion at the beginning?

The champion was awarded the sixth grade, the list eye and the seventh grade.

In ancient times, the imperial examination was divided into three levels: the township examination, the meeting examination and the palace examination, of course, before the township examination, there were also county examinations, government examinations and hospital examinations, which were equivalent to basic education and selection at the local level.

Township test: The township test is carried out locally, generally in the provincial capital, once every three years, and in autumn, so it is also called "autumn test". The admitted candidates are collectively referred to as "Juren", and the first name is "Xie Yuan". Lifting people has already obtained the qualification to be a leader, so in film and television dramas, he is called "lifting people".

However, it is not easy to be an official, the waiting time may be long, and even a lifetime can not make up, even if the grade is very low, generally starting from the lowest from the ninth grade, it is great to be able to survive to the seventh grade in this life, and it can be called a unique product to the sixth and fifth grades.

However, there are exceptions, such as Hai Rui, who became the right capital of the second product as a lifter, and was posthumously named the prince Taibao of the first product after his death.

Examination: The examination is held in the capital, and it is also once every three years, and the time is the spring of the following year of the township examination, so it is also called "spring examination". The admitted candidates are collectively referred to as "Gongshi", and the first name is "Huiyuan".

Palace Examination: The palace examination is more special, it is also called the "imperial examination", that is, the assessment and selection presided over by the emperor himself, and the location is located in the palace hall, so the candidates who participate in the palace examination usually proudly claim to be "protégés of the Son of Heaven".

The palace examination is different from the elimination system selection of the township examination and the general examination, it is just a "qualifying competition". All tributes are eligible to participate in the palace examination, and the identity of the palace examination hall has become a jinshi, and none of them are eliminated, according to the ranking of one, two, and three lists, and three people in a list, that is, the top three champions, list eyes and tanhua, which are determined by the emperor's imperial pen.

The starting point of the Jinshi out of the Shi envy the dead lifter, generally starting from the seventh grade. However, after obtaining the status of Jinshi, only "poor students" are eligible to go out directly, and they will generally serve as the director and imperial history of the six departments, and there are also local officials.

What do the "top students" in the first, second, and third lists do? Stayed in the Hanlin Academy and was awarded the status of "Shu Jishi". Note that the Gurgis is a status, not an official position. What is the Gis going to do? I continued my studies and took the last exam of my life three years later, the morning exam.

Morning examination: the nature of the imperial examination and the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination is different, first of all, the imperial examination is a elimination system, and the eliminated officials are officials, and they are officially called "Hanlin Shu Jishi" through the assessment "staying in the museum".

Hanlin Shuji is still just an identity, but this identity is too good, because if you want to reach the pinnacle of life - worship, Hanlin Shujishi identity is the admission ticket, so it is also called "Chu Xiang".

So don't underestimate this inconspicuous pilgrimage!

Many people think that as long as they pass the top prize, then Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, and high-ranking officials and fragrant car beauties are naturally not a problem.

But the actual situation is that there are only a handful of people who can do this, and there are many champions who cannot be reused for various reasons, and eventually end up depressed.

Far from it, it means that the first champion of the Ming Dynasty was Wu Bozong in the third year of Hongwu, who won the first imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty and became the first champion of the Ming Dynasty.

But later, because he was attacked for exposing Hu Weiyong, he was demoted several levels, and after Hu Weiyong was executed, he was reactivated, and not long after he was degraded again because of his relatives' crimes.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang used him again, but because of a trivial matter, he was demoted for the third time, and finally died in depression.
