The moral of being the first
The moral of "No.1 scholar" mainly refers to the success of imperial examination and the honor and status of senior officials. In particular, being engraved on the gold medal list means that candidates have passed the Jinshi examination and become literati in feudal society, enjoying high status and prestige. At the same time, being the first also reflects the respect and attention to knowledge and learning in China traditional culture.
In the ancient imperial examination system, every examination attracted many knowledgeable and talented people to participate. Although there are many people taking the exam, only a few candidates can pass the exam at a time. On the one hand, the candidate who won the top prize gained the reputation and status of a scholar, on the other hand, he became a member of the officialdom and gained higher salary, privilege and power. To be the first morality is to make continuous progress and achieve higher success and achievements by constantly learning and improving one's talents.
