Extended data:

In the Han Dynasty, Chaju set up the Scout Military Department, stipulating that children were between 12 and 16 years old, and those who could learn classics could be selected. Those who try classics are worshipped as lang, and those who are young and talented are worshipped as boy lang.

Teahouse boy is a way to reward gifted children, which shows that China noticed the exceptional use and special training of gifted children as early as the Han Dynasty, which is amazing and admirable. However, this system excessively encourages children to enter the circle of Confucian classics from an early age, which fetters their thoughts, affects their health, and leads to their precocity and rapid decline.

At the same time, it also encourages some people to mechanically force their children to endorse, and even cheat by hiding their age, which should also be taken as a warning. There are many people who praised the boy scout department in later generations, and there are also many opponents. Therefore, this is also the reason why this department is sometimes abandoned. It is necessary to analyze objectively and give scientific evaluation.
