" Fan Jin 's winning the exam" is excerpted from Wu Jingzi 's satirical novel "The Scholars". Until today, Fan Jin's ugly appearance after winning the exam has been revealed and has been the object of ridicule of people. His funny and sarcastic face truly reflects the ugly face of "get rich overnight". However, everyone thinks this is a satirical story, but they didn't expect it to be an extremely "inspiring" story.
So what happened after Fan Jin passed the exam? There is no explanation in "The Scholars". Next, Baiwei will tell you this inspirational story and how awesome Fan Jin was after passing the imperial examination?
In Ming Dynasty , there is a person named Fan Jin who was born in a peasant family and his family is particularly poor.
Because the family is very poor, Fan Jin is in his forties and still can't marry his wife. Finally, he married the daughter of Hu Tuhu .
Everyone should know that in ancient times, women basically had to get married before they were sixteen years old.
But Hu Tu's father's daughter failed to get married when she was thirty years old. What is this? It turns out that there are two reasons:
First, everyone thinks she looks too ugly, so no one wants it, and second, because Hu Tuhuo has a low status and a bad reputation, no one dares to marry her.
But Fan Jin actually accepted it, and he felt that he had benefited from others, which shows how depressed Fan Jin was at that time.
Fan Jin knew that his social status was relatively low and no one could respect him. In ancient times, society believed that "everything is inferior, only reading is high." Therefore, if you want to make a name for yourself, only reading is your only shortcut and the way to heaven.
So Fan Jin also knew this. He worked very hard in his studies, but he did not study for the sake of studying, but to become an official and make money.
Friends, we should praise Fan Jin in our studies. He is very persistent in this regard and is definitely a good and hardworking child. He has never been cheating in his studies.
But Fan Jin only got the conditions that "scholars" should basically meet, so "childhood".
"Tongsheng" is a scholar in the Ming and Qing dynasties. When he was not admitted to the scholar, he was called "Tongsheng" regardless of age. People in his twenties to forties or fifties have them. This diploma is equivalent to those of today's primary school students.
At the beginning, Fan Jin's relatives and friends still had expectations for him. They encouraged him to study hard and improve every day, and one day his dreams would come true.
But year after year, day after day, Fan Jin is getting older and older. He still failed many tests and achieved nothing. Everyone's attitude began to change, and in the end they all began to despise him.
Why? Because Fan Jin was already middle-aged at this time, his family was in a mess. His father died early, and there was an elderly mother in poor health at home, and his wife had to support him.
But he didn't even have a serious job, he just took the study exams all year round, and he had to spend money on pens, inks, papers and inkstones. His life was simply too short and he couldn't afford it.
In this case, naturally no one would give him a good look. Even his father-in-law, a pig-killer, who made a living by selling meat (in ancient times, butchers belonged to the bottom of society) did not take him seriously. He would drink all day long, scold him and beat him with his mouth. It is conceivable how failed Fan Jin was in life.
But Fan Jin was really persistent. When he was fifty-three years old, even the family couldn't even get rid of the pot, he even borrowed money everywhere to continue taking the exam for "scholar".
According to the original description: Since his wife married him, she "didn't know if she had eaten lard two or three times in the past ten years." Before he was awarded the award, his mother even "was so hungry that she couldn't see her eyes."
Give you another example: Fan Jin's father-in-law Hu Tuhu, when she learned that Fan Jin came to borrow money, spitted on Fan Jin's face with a mouthful of phlegm, and then cursed.
Faced with the butcher's scolding, Fan Jin could only "spoken" it, which shows that his social status is so low.
When Fan Jin was fifty-four years old, he took the imperial examination again and finally passed the "scholar". Before that, he had taken more than 20 imperial examinations, but all ended in failure.
But this is useless, because the "scholar" has no qualifications to become an official at all, and at best he is a poor scholar.
But at this time Fan Jin was in a dilemma, and it was neither right to take the exam nor not.
But then again, I am so old that I can’t do anything except study and exams, so what else can I do.
So Fan Jin could only sigh in his heart that his life was miserable and had to bite the bullet and continue on the exam.
The year when Fan Jin got the scholar was just the provincial examination. Of course, Fan Jin had to take the exam even if he was unsuccessful, but he didn't dare to let his family know, for fear of being scolded by his father-in-law again, so he could only secretly go to the exam room without hiding his family and a few fellow villagers. This is enough to show Fan Jin's passion for fame and fortune.
When Fan Jin finished the exam, he ran home immediately, but the family was out of stock, and his wife and mother had been hungry for several days.
There is no rice in the house. There is no way out. His old mother asked him to sell the last old hen in the house to exchange for some rice to eat.
But, however, happiness came too suddenly. The original text reads: The neighbor ran to the restaurant and couldn't find it all over the ground. He found that he was holding a chicken, holding a straw sign in his hand, walking step by step, looking around, looking for someone to buy it there.
Fan Jin was pulled home by his neighbors and saw a good news post hanging at home: Fan Huijin, the master of the Jiebao Mansion, ranked seventh in the Guangdong Provincial Examination of High School. The Beijing News has been listed on the Yellow Ancestral.
Fan Jin looked over and over again, read it over and over again, suddenly let out a strange smile, and shouted repeatedly: Hehe, that’s great! Falled! Falled! "Then he leaned back, his teeth closed, and he was unconscious.
His poor old mother immediately panicked and gave him a few sips of water. After seeing Fan Jin get up again, clapping his hands, jumping his feet, and laughing loudly: "Hehe! Very good! I'm beaten! I'm beaten! "
After saying that, he smiled and shouted, running straight out of the door, but stepped into the pond, with yellow mud on his hands, his hair scattered, and water all over his body, like a chicken falling from the ground.
People say that Fan Jin went crazy happily, and his crazy image was deeply portrayed in everyone's mind.
This is the story of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination. After a lifetime of hard work, Fan Jin finally passed the imperial examination at the age of 54. Finally, I was so happy that I was crazy, and the whole article was full of irony.
So what happened to Fan Jin? What did he become after he became the coveted Juren?
Many people lamented that Fan Jin had spent half his life studying and became a Juren, but he didn't expect him to go crazy. Everyone may also think that Fan Jin would live his life crazy for years.
In fact, this is not the case. After Fan Jin passed the Juren, he not only truly lived out himself, but also had a glory.
In fact, Fan Jin's madness at that time was just a moment of ecstasy after success, and soon he returned to normal.
When Fan Jin recovered from himself, his world began to be filled with sunshine, and almost everyone around him became gentle, which also made him turn from a character who was ridiculed and ridiculed to a noble celebrity.
After Fan Jin passed the exam, although he had not become an official, his status had been greatly improved.
The local gentry who were not familiar with each other on weekdays and were unattainable, also called Fan Jin brothers, flattered and sent Fan Jin a lot of money and real estate.
Even the local county magistrates came to curry favor with him, and even children from poor families came to join him, working as slaves, maids, and doing housework.
In just a few dozen days, Fan Jin suddenly changed from a poor scholar to a rich man with a house, land, money and prestige.
His butcher father-in-law suddenly changed his attitude towards Fan Jin when he learned that he had won the juren. From his previous disdain for him to flattery. Before the
was awarded the imperial examination, the butcher's father-in-law looked down on Fan Jin and called him a "toad" and a "poor treasure in the world". His words were extremely despised, full of ridicule, disdain and humiliation. After
passed the election, Fan Jin was called "a son-in-law", "master" and "the star in the sky". He praised and pleased him in a thousand ways, and showed a humble and respectful and flattering attitude.
Also, on the way home, they flattened Fan Jin's clothes "double dozens of times" and changed his attitude, which was really "arrogant at first and respectful at the end".
Friends, the extreme changes seen from Fan Jin fully reflect the society's efforts to curry favor with wealthy and powerful people at that time, and its indifference to moneyless and powerful people.
It can be seen that everyone's behavior also presents a picture of the world and the world's coldness, and it is really a real society.
Finally, let’s take a look at how awesome his future is after Fan Jin won the in ?
After Fan Jin passed the imperial examination, even his mother, who had been suffering for the rest of her life, was overjoyed when she saw this scene and exclaimed repeatedly, "These are all mine." As a result, she was blocked by a mouthful of phlegm and she died without recovering.
In ancient times, after the death of parents, children had to keep mourning for three years, so Fan Jin had to keep mourning for three years.
After three years of mourning, Fan Jin was unwilling to accept this, so he went to Beijing to take the exam again. On the day of departure, all the prominent figures in the county arrived and raised their glasses to see Fan Jin farewell.
Finally, Fan Jin lived up to expectations and passed the "Jinshi" exam as he wished, and was assigned to the position of "Civilian".
He works diligently and hardworkingly, and his performance has always been good, and he is very optimistic by his leaders.
Later, due to his outstanding work, Fan Jin was transferred to various places many times, and was finally appointed by the emperor as "Shandong Learning Taoism".
This "Shandong Learning Taoism" is a "fourth rank" official of the court, and is also a local official, who is in charge of education work in the province.
Fan Jin's official position is equivalent to our current department-level official, and it has more power than the director of the Provincial Department of Education.
Friends, Fan Jin spent five years climbing up from the grassroots level, and later became an education official in charge of Shandong Province, focusing on cultural education in Shandong Province.
Moreover, Fan Jin worked diligently, conscientiously and outstandingly made achievements during his tenure as an official. At the same time, he neither oppressed the people nor abandoned his wife. Instead, he did a lot of practical things for the students in Shandong Province.
From here we can see that Fan Jin, who has no background, is not only very talented, but also very capable.
at the end:
It can be seen that for reading, Fan Jin is enough to be crazy, and he is also a very persistent person.
Because for many people, they may have given up after taking the exam twice or three times, but Fan Jin still sticks to his ideals while being poor.
Fan Jin wants to be an official, there is nothing wrong with everyone. Everyone has their own ambitions, and their persistence in their goals is still worth learning from most of us.
Learning Fan Jin worked hard and persevered, and finally achieved success and fame. To this day, his fighting spirit is still worth learning from.
Although we can still laugh at Fan Jin today, he passed the Jinshi exam with his own ability and finally became a high-ranking official in the province. How many ordinary people can do this today?
