What does the old saying "a scholar with gold is a scholar with silver and a scholar with poverty" mean?

? Gold juren, silver scholar, poor scholar? The debate is mainly about the price that candidates have to pay in the imperial examination and the elimination rate of the examination.

First of all, let's have a general understanding of the basic process of ancient imperial examinations. According to the setting of the ancient feudal court, the imperial examination was divided into three parts: boy's examination, rural examination and general examination, and the difficulty and grade of the examination increased in turn. If you pass the boy test, then you have a reputation as a scholar; After passing the provincial examination, he won the reputation of being a juren; After passing the exam, he gained a reputation as a scholar.

As for what we saw on TV? Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and you can see Chang 'an flowers all in one day? Champion Lang is the best among the scholars.

Seeing some friends here, I may wonder why Jinshi is obviously more difficult than Juren. In this proverb, juren should be more prominent.

This is because you want to gain the fame of Jinshi, so the time cost and economic cost you have to spend are undoubtedly very large. Because in ancient times when materials were scarce, if you want to study with peace of mind, you have to have a well-off family, and ordinary people can't afford a scholar.

From this point of view, the giant's large section is lower, but the cost is high. Relatively reasonable. Secondly, the elimination rate of juren examination is 30 1, that is to say, for every 30 people who take the provincial examination, only one person passes; Jinshi is one tenth. Judging from the passing rate of the exam, the passing rate is obviously lower. Why? Gold juren, silver scholar? Statement.

As for poor scholars, it is because the ancient imperial examination can change a person's fate, but the official position of the court is limited. So as long as you become a juren or a scholar, it is possible to be an official. If you are just a scholar, you can basically wash and sleep.

In this case, for those who have achieved the fame of a scholar, of course, they are unwilling. So they will continue to study day after day. Go to Beijing year after year to catch the exam, hoping to get a higher level of fame.

For the full-time activity of reading, you have been reading. If you don't go to work, then you will naturally become poorer and poorer, so you have? Poor scholar? Statement.
