Mr. Zhu in White Deer Plain has so much knowledge, why is he only a juren in the end?

In White Deer Plain, Mr. Zhu actually describes Mr. Niu Zhaolian in history. As mentioned in White Deer Plain, Niu Zhaolian is really a great talent, but he is only a juror. This is because when Niu Zhaolian took part in the imperial examination for the first time, his father died suddenly and he failed to catch up with the scientific examination. Later, Niu Zhaolian.

In White Deer Plain, Mr. Zhu is a very talented person. He knows astronomy above and geography below. In a small village, Mr. Zhu seems to know everything. Even if the owner loses a chicken and the west loses a goose, he can figure out where to lose it. Predicting the weather to help the villagers keep the harvest is just a scholar. This really makes people wonder. The reason why Mr. Zhu has always been a juror is that his father died in the year when Mr. Zhu took part in the scientific research, which was undoubtedly a great blow to Mr. Zhu, so Mr. Zhu missed the scientific research. At that time, the governor took a fancy to Mr. Zhu's talent, but Mr. Zhu was indifferent to fame and fortune and refused the governor's support, so Mr. Zhu, who had great talents, was only a juror in the end.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu actually has a historical prototype in reality, that is, Mr. Niu Zhaolian. As a juren in the late Qing Dynasty, Niu Zhaolian had the same life experience as Mr. Zhu, which made people sure that Mr. Zhu was Niu Zhaolian. When Niu Zhaolian was 22 years old, his father died, and he stayed at home to serve his mother in filial piety, which led to his missing the scientific examination. He was almost deprived of his status as a juren, but he was saved by the governor's pleading.

In the history, Niu Zhaolian devoted himself to the country and the people. When the people were in distress, Niu Zhaolian opened a warehouse for disaster relief and stood in the forefront of resisting opium, which should be remembered by the world. Therefore, in the process of portraying Mr. Zhu in White Deer Plain, Chen Zhongshi read a lot about Niu Zhaolian's relevant history and successfully created a flesh-and-blood Mr. Zhu.
