What does Hanlin Duojishui mean?

Hanlin Duojishui Jishui refers to Jishui County, Jiangxi Province. Located in the county town under the jurisdiction of Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province, it is named Jishui because the Ganjiang River and Enjiang River complement each other and have auspicious shapes. "Hanlin is full of auspicious water" is a true portrayal of Jiangxi's cultural prosperity in the Ming Dynasty. Jishui County is one of the top ten ancient cultural counties in Jiangxi Province and one of the cradles of Luling culture. The style of writing has been prosperous and talented people have come forth in large numbers. Since ancient times, it has been "the hometown of literature and meaning, the source of humanities" and has the reputation of "the hometown of top scholars".

The number of Jinshi in Jiangxi recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty is the highest in the country, and the situation of "three Ding Jia in one subject" or even the top ten in Jiangxi sometimes happens.

Since the imperial examination, there have been 556 scholars and 6 champions in Jishui County alone. It is absolutely no exaggeration to describe it as "one scholar with three talents and two prime ministers across the river".

"Be an official if you study hard" is a tradition in China, and Juzi, Jiangxi, as half of the imperial examinations in China, naturally continues this tradition. The number of Jiangxi officials has always been in the forefront of the country, with a dime a dozen senior officials. This situation reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty since the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
