What is "Kao Ba"? Obviously, he is an expert in exams.

When it comes to mountains and mountains, when it comes to water and bridges, no exam is difficult. You must get good grades.

So who is the best person in the history of China? It's Su Dongpo.

You are not mistaken. It is Su Dongpo, a great poet who invented Dongpo Meat.

Needless to say, Su Dongpo, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, has unparalleled literary achievements.

In addition, he writes well and is good at drawing.

Can be described as all-rounder.

But when it comes to exams, if he ranks second, I'm afraid no one dares to rank first, even Li Bai, a madman known as the "poet fairy".

Try to show your advantages.

I took the big exam for the first time in 1056. At that time, Su Shi and his younger brother Su Zhe, who were only 2 1 year-old, immediately went to Bianjing to take the Libu exam in the second year of Jiayou, which is what we often call the pre-scholar exam, to prepare for the palace exam. At that time, the exam topic was "On the Loyalty of Punishment", and the examiner was famous.

At that time, the examiner Mei read an examination paper (in ancient times, in order to prevent cheating, only one was given without his name), and was shocked by his literary talent, so he recommended it to Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu was very impressed after reading it. He wanted to rank this volume as the first, but he suspected that this article was written by disciple Ceng Gong (one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, and his literary talent was also quite good). He thought that among those who took the exam at that time, only Ceng Gong had such a level.

In order to avoid suspicion, this volume is listed as the second volume.

After posting, I discovered that this article was written by Su Shi and sighed: "This is my generation and should be avoided!" From this point of view, although Su Shi ranked second, he was actually the first, which means that this volume of Su Shi is actually the first volume, and the first volume of Su Shi circulating now is this article.

Take the imperial examination lightly

Su Shi didn't stop taking the exam. In AD 1060, that is, in the fifth year of Jiayou, Su Shi was just awarded the master book of Fuchang County, Henan Province, and a year later he caught up with the imperial court to hold an exam.

Su Shi, unwilling to be an official, thought that the opportunity to change his destiny came again. He resolutely signed up for the exam, and the results came out. He won the third place (the first and second place were empty, and it was heaven and earth) and entered the excellent sequence. It is precisely because of this examination that his position was naturally promoted and he was awarded Dali Reviewer, Fengxiang Fu Qian and Fu Xue Professor.

This period has become the rising period of Su Shi's life, which can be described as the prime of life. The famous Xi Yu Ting Ji and Xu Ling Tai Chi were written in this period, which established his position in the history of China literature.

Selected vocational qualification examination of Guangxi court.

However, the magic of Su Shi's senior high school entrance examination did not end there. In AD 1065, that is, the second year of Yingzong Zhiping, that is, when Su Shi was about 30 years old, he left Fengxiang and returned to Beijing, and was awarded the position of Wen Gu Academy.

At this time, the imperial court held an examination to recruit secret cabinets from all over the country. Su Shi registered again, got third-class excellent results again, and was promoted to the head of the local history museum again.

It can be said that Su Shi passed the exam at this time and reached the first peak of his life. As a scholar, he can not only work in Beijing, but also get such a senior official at the age of 30 (the position is equivalent to the current ministerial-level senior official), which is promising.

Postscript:

Maybe it's too smooth sailing, or too young, or even politically immature. In the political reform led by Wang Anshi (then prime minister, one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, and another literary master in China history), he was expelled from the capital and exiled to Danzhou, Hainan as much as possible because of his objection.

But even so, he happily wrote "300 lychees a day, and he did not hesitate to grow into a Lingnan person".
