In ancient times, why were you happier than the top scholar? What are the unwritten rules?

Because there is an unwritten rule in the selection of flower scouts, that is, they should not only have literary talent, but also have outstanding face value, so flower scouts are often more prosperous than champions. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the imperial examination system began to appear. In the ancient feudal society with distinct classes, the society was mainly divided into four levels: scholar, agriculture, industry and commerce. It can be seen from this that literati are also high-ranking officials in people's minds. For ordinary people, if they want to embark on the road of official career, they must pass the imperial examination.

The imperial examination system, which originated in the Sui Dynasty, matured in the Tang and Song Dynasties and lasted for more than 1,300 years until the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is mainly divided into three stages: boy test, township test, general test and palace test. Every time I pass the Level 1 exam, my status is different. From low to high, I am a scholar, a juren, Gong Shi and a scholar. Among them, the top three champions are Hua Tan, the second champion and the champion, which are usually selected by the emperor himself.

The champion is naturally the best of all candidates, but it is also the most difficult to pass. According to relevant historical records, since the implementation of the imperial examination system, there have only been more than 700 champions. The second place was originally two places, ranking second and third as a foil to the champion. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the development and changes of some customs, flower exploration appeared.

2. It is stipulated that flower scouts are not only among the best in talents, but also among the best in appearance. First of all, from the name of Hua Tan, people can think of the beauty of flowers. When used to describe a boy, it means that he is handsome and verve, that is, he often looks like Pan An. When flower exploration first appeared, it was called flower exploration ambassador, which was mainly caused by a custom.

After the emperor appointed the champion and runner-up, he needed a grand banquet. One is to express the congratulations of all ministers and officials on the emperor's recruitment of talents, and the other is to celebrate all the students who have been hired. In the banquet, there is a more important task, that is, to select the person with ridiculously high value among these Jinshi, and then he will pick flowers to decorate the celebration and present flowers to the champion who won the first prize this time to express his congratulations.

The chosen person is the Flower Scout. He made a splash at the party and was the focus of everyone's attention, sometimes even more eye-catching than the champion. Therefore, with the continuous development, in ancient times, in order to become an ancient flower detective, in addition to having excellent knowledge comparable to top scholars, the appearance should keep up with the aesthetics of the public, that is to say, it depends on the face.

3. Flower scouts in history and novels are better paid and professionally employed. Although winning the first prize is really a good thing, it will not be much worse than it, and it is a bright career. After being selected to explore flowers, she not only has the opportunity to hold important positions around the court and the emperor, but also has a great chance to be seen by women and princesses of princes and nobles. It is also common to choose a husband for a princess at a celebration ceremony.

For example, Xiao Shenyang, a well-known corrupt official, was named as a flower detective by the emperor because of his outstanding talent and appearance, and stayed with him all the time, making him rise to the top. Qian, a flower-exploring artist in Ming Dynasty, has both ability and political integrity and outstanding appearance, which makes Liu, a talented woman 36 years younger than him, willing to marry him. Secondly, in some novels, the flower detective is also described very well. For example, Li Xunhuan, who is famous for his charm and handsome, was born a flower explorer.
