Tourist attractions in Gong Yuan, North Sichuan

Gong Yuan in northern Sichuan is a building with three entrances and four courtyards. The first entrance to the main hall is the Supreme Court, which is the place where examiners call the roll, distribute examination papers and invigilate. The first entrance and the second entrance are examination rooms. Each examination room has an entrance and exit door with a small window in the middle of the wall and bright tiles and air holes on the roof. There is a cross-shaped corridor in the first yard, and the railings on both sides of the corridor are connected with wooden chairs with backrests for candidates to rest and wait. The second and third entrances are places where candidates eat and board, and they are also four-storey buildings with a longitudinal corridor in the middle. In addition, there are rooms for examiners and examiners to live and work in. When you step into the gate, you will see the Dragon Gate, which means carp yue longmen.

Behind the Longmen is the Supreme Court. Fairest, fairest. Gong Yuan's front yard is the examination room, surrounded by rooms. The exam is numbered according to the sky, the earth, the mysterious and the yellow ... each room has an entrance and an exit.

Visitors to Gong Yuan can also take the imperial examinations in disguise. Those with excellent grades can wear red clothes and flowers, and those who cheat will be detained or even sentenced.

Candidates must first "touch the map and measure their luck" before entering the venue, which is similar to today's "blind people touch the elephant to be happy" to ensure the smooth completion of the next exam. A word closely related to the imperial examination is the champion. In the Champion Pavilion, you can learn about its history. The title of number one scholar began in the Tang Dynasty, which means that Jinshi finally won the first place. Formerly known as Zhuangtou, also known as the champion. After the Song Dynasty, it was specifically referred to as "the first place". They are the stars created by the imperial examination system, most of them are outstanding talents, and some of them have made outstanding contributions to promoting the historical process and the development of culture and art. According to textual research, from the first scholar in Wude five years (622) to the last scholar in Guangxu thirty years (1904), it is known that there were nearly 800 times in this period 1283. Among them, there are only 672 literary champions and 246 martial arts champions, totaling 9 18, and more than 100 champions are lost in the dust of history.

The museum displays the examination papers of Liu Chunlin, the last top scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. What a beautiful handwriting! Liu Chunlin, a native of Suning, Hebei Province, was the top scholar of Chen Jia in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904). Later, he refused to hold an important position in the puppet Manchukuo and became a calligrapher.

The picture on the right shows the only female scholar-Fu Shanxiang, a native of Jinling (Nanjing), who was a scholar in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for three years (1853). It is said that she is very talented.

Among the nearly 1,000 top scholars, it is said that there are 25 Sichuanese: 5 in Tang Dynasty, 2 in Five Dynasties, 13 in Song Dynasty, 1 person in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and 2 in Daxi (Zhang). Among them, Langzhong produced five top scholars, namely Yin Shu, Yin Ji, Chen Yaorui, Chen Yaozi and Feng Juan. It can be said that Langzhong is the hometown of top scholars in Sichuan.

The top scholar Yingjie Pavilion's Langzhong "Four Top Scholars in Tang and Song Dynasties" sculpture, they are top scholars Yin Shu and Yin Ji in Tang Dynasty, and top scholars Chen Yaomao and Chen Yaozi in Northern Song Dynasty. Wen Zhuangyuan, Yin Ji and Chen Yaomao sit at will and look natural; The champion of the martial arts wears armor and hangs a bow, imposing. Among them, Yin Zhong was 7 1 year old when he won the first prize, and died nine years later at the age of 80. Yin Shu is the oldest scholar in Sichuan and even the whole country, and also the longest-lived scholar in Sichuan. "Chen Er" is "both civil and military". Their brother, Chen Yaoyou, is a scholar, official to prime minister, and also a poet and calligrapher. It is said that Chensan Street in Langzhong City is named after them. The invigilator in Gong Yuan is very strict. When you enter Gong Yuan's gate, you must conduct a strict search to prevent candidates from being "entrained". But in order to gain fame, there are still many fraud cases. This is a deceptive dress full of Gong Yuan goods. The anecdote museum tells some imperial examination stories scattered in unofficial history and miscellaneous books, among which Su Dongpo, a great writer in Meishan, lost his first place. It turns out that Su Shi, a 25-year-old litterateur, wrote a paper "The Theory of Repaying Complaints with Loyalty" after he was admitted to palace examination in Song Renzong Jiabo for six years (106 1), which was highly praised by the examiner Ouyang Xiu and other examiners. For example, the article said, "Yao wants to kill people, (the Minister of Justice) said,' Kill three (it should be killed, it should have been killed a long time ago). "Yao said," the third (forgive, forgive, or forgive). "The article advocates giving priority to education, not killing those who can kill, and killing those who can kill less; As for rewards, you can reward those who don't, but reward them, so that you will win the support and support of the people. After discussion with the examiners, Ouyang Xiu decided to take Su Wan as the champion. But considering that at the banquet in Qionglin (the banquet given by the emperor to the new Jinshi), the emperor may ask what classic works the dialogue between Tang Yao and Hao Tao comes from, how to answer it? If you can't answer, it exposes the examiner's shallow theory; Wrong answer is suspected of deceiving you. So, he sent the Senate official Mei to Su Shi to find out the source. Dongpo replied that Yao is a kind and generous person and a serious and honest person. According to their personalities, I think they will say so. Mei Yao Chen was very angry and said, "You are young, but you have great courage. Nothing serious. How can you just edit it! " As a result, Su Shi fell from the first place in A to the second place in A. ..

It is said that Su Shi went to Beijing in Langzhong in the winter of the second year of Renzong to Hehe (1055), and the place was Dushuyan (commonly known as Champion Cave, located on Elephant Mountain). In order to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city, Chen Shenghua, a native of Langzhong in the Northern Song Dynasty, placed his three sons, Chen Yaozuo and Chen Yaozi, here to study, hence the name Reading Rock; Later, Yaosou and Yaozi were top students in high school, so they were named Zhuangyuan Cave. It is also called Xiangxiang Hall because of Yao Chao, Yao Zuo Wei's official as prime minister, Yao Zishan's riding and shooting, and his civil and military skills are both perfect, and his official is my general. In Yuan You (1086-1April, 094), I went to Langzhong again and wrote the title of Huijingtang.
