Pu Songling's fortune-telling in serial _ Which episode is Pu Songling's fortune-telling in serial?

Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio is very literary, but why can't he ask for an official?

Pu Songling is a man of great literary talent. There are several reasons why he can't ask for an official position:

One reason is that Pu Songling's article did not meet the writing standard in the exam at that time. The imperial examination adopts eight-part essay, attaches importance to "reason, law, rhetoric and qi", pays attention to argument and argumentation, and has a high degree of standardization. Pu Songling likes to collect all kinds of bizarre stories since he was a child, which makes his thinking very divergent. In his article, he used a lot of novel brushwork, full of fantasy and recklessness. Some people have analyzed Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and found that Pu Songling's articles are not like eight-part essays at all, but more like essays and essays, which is why his articles are not popular with examiners.

Second, because Pu Songling is not dedicated. In the process of taking part in the imperial examination, Pu Songling never stopped writing Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, which affected Pu Songling's play to some extent. Taking part in scientific research and writing serials are two independent lines in Pu Songling's life, which will definitely interfere with each other. At that time, even his friend Zhang advised him to give up serializing and concentrate on scientific research.

The third reason is that Pu Songling's psychological quality is not very good. In fact, Pu Songling made many low-level mistakes in the examination room. For example, Pu Songling made the mistake of "drawing a cross" after the provincial examination in the 26th year of Kangxi. What is "crossing the screen"? Simply put, it is the middle pages. It can be seen that Pu Songling's psychological quality is really not too hard. If Pu Songling's psychological quality is strong enough, after years of hard work, even if he doesn't play well, he may not succeed. For example, Zhang Jian, the top scholar at the end of the Qing Dynasty, won the scholar at the age of 16, but he was promoted after going through the rural examination of 18 years. Later, I fell out of the list five times in a row and finally became the top student in high school. From this point of view, Zhang Jian's psychological quality and exam-oriented quality are higher than Pu Songling's.

It is also for these reasons that Pu Songling will seek an official all his life.
