The date of publication of the exam is usually on April 10, which is also the season when the apricot blossoms are in full bloom, so the list is also called the apricot list.
This year's examination papers, due to the large number of papers, were finally posted in front of the lobby of the Ministry of Rites on April 17th, when the officials went to court.
The apricot list in the Yuan Dynasty was divided into left and right lists.
In the Yuan Dynasty, the right was the most respected, and the Mongols and Semu people were on the right list, and the Han and southerners were on the left list. There are fifty people in each list, a total of one hundred tributes. This time, the number of tributes has nearly doubled due to the fact that there are more exams than in previous years.
[1] Xu Wei. Poetry on "The Day of List Release"
? The noisy chariots and horses are about to overwhelm the sky,
The list of people exploring the east hall has been suspended;
Thousands of miles will follow the golden bird[1],
Sandai still borrows Yulian money.
The flowers float, the wine shadows are bright and the clouds are rotten,
Rizhao shirts are bright and colorful;
On the pavilion in front of Twelfth Street,
Who doesn't look at gods with rolling shutters?
I heard that the apricot list has been released. The royal family and nobles sat in cars decorated with golden phoenixes, and officials rode tall horses, and came all the way to see the list.
The entrance of the lobby of the Ministry of Rites suddenly became noisy with cars and horses, and the voices of people rose.
Ji Xu, Liu Ji, and Liu Yuchun squeezed into the crowd, and when they saw their names on the list, they changed their elegant posture of Japanese literati and cheered excitedly.
When they met back, they must fully prepare for the next exam, and strive to enter the first class in the palace exam on the 19th.
After visiting the apricot list, most of the candidates came to drink and celebrate under the apricot tree.
The wine reflected the brilliant flower shadows like clouds, and even the sun shining on Xin Gongshi's clothes shone with auspicious brilliance. For those buildings built on high places, every family rolled up the bead curtains and opened the windows to share the joy of these fairy-like Xinke Gongshi.
[2] "The Female Crown. April 17th" Wei Zhuang. Ci
April seventeenth,
It was last year today, when you don't have time.
Holding back tears and pretending to lower his face, he half-closed his eyebrows in embarrassment.
I don't know that the soul is broken, and there are dreams in the sky.
Except for the moon in the sky, no one knows.
Dafang ran to his sister's house early in the morning to find his brother-in-law Yuan Zhen, and asked him to go and see if Ji Xu passed the exam for him.
When Dafang saw Luoluo, he excitedly told her, "Sister, it's him! It's him! We've met before."
Luoluo asked curiously: "Who have you met?"
"Ji Xu!"
"Oh~? Where did you see it?"
"dreaming."
"In a dream?"
Originally, Luoluo thought that Dafang had just said that that day, and then let it go after three minutes of enthusiasm, but she didn't expect that she actually went to the examination room to meet Ji Xu.
Dafang described in detail how she and Ji Xu met in the dream: "It was April 17 last year. I remember it very clearly. That day was the day when the gold list was released."
Luoluo corrected and said: "I didn't take the exam last year, so it was postponed for a year?"
Da Fang coquettishly said: "Did I say I was dreaming!" Da Fang said seriously, "I remember that day he was riding a white horse, and he also had flowing white hair, and came to the garden to pick flowers, because he was a flower hunter."
"Tan Hua Lang?"
"Yes~!"
"Then you don't need your brother-in-law to go and see, he must have passed the exam, and he is the third place-Tanhua."
"Let my brother-in-law go and have a look, what if my dream is wrong?"
"Okay~"
Dafang went on to talk about her dream, "Do you think he is weird? He doesn't pick flowers in the garden, but he picked the flowers in my hand"
Luo Luo smiled and said, "Is that 'picking'? Isn't that 'robbing'?"
Dafang became anxious: "It was picked, it was picked, I picked it for him."
Luo Luo patted her little hand and said, "Okay~ You two picked it together."
Da Fang went on to say: "He said a lot to me, when we parted from him. I suppressed my tears, pretended to be 'shy' and lowered my head."
Luoluo teased her: "Are you still shy?"
"Sister~ I'm afraid that he will miss and worry about me when he finds tears on my face~"
"Then, did you tell him, do you like him?"
Da Fang frowned shyly and said: "No, but, I have a thousand words in my heart that I want to say to her, but I just can't say it" Da Fang showed a regretful expression.
"What do you want to tell him?"
"I want to tell him, 'When you leave me, my heart will be broken, when will I see you again? ’ But I opened my mouth several times, but nothing came out…”
"Aren't you usually quite bold?"
"Sister, didn't I say it was in a dream!"
"Oh~, then, what happened next?"
"Don't you think it's strange, I often met him in my dreams afterwards."
"This may be the fate of the two of you in previous lives."
Dafang sighed, "But I can only meet him in a dream. Who else knows the pain of my lovesickness except the moon in the sky?"
Luoluo smiled and said, "Usually I only regard you as a boy, but I didn't expect you to be so affectionate!"
Da Fang asked back: "Boys are not affectionate?!"
Luo Luo said: "It's just a dream, why be so sad?"
Dafang then said leisurely: "Yeah! It's just a dream. There is no way to distinguish it, and there is no need to distinguish it. You don't follow others, and you can't follow them. You have to follow your dreams. You think about it every day and dream at night, but this kind of dream is Sweet, even though I haven't even met him yet, I miss him so much, but this feeling is so beautiful"
Luoluo never imagined that the little girl who is usually carefree would be a girl with such delicate feelings.
Da Fang continued to sigh with emotion: "Ecstasy and dreams can't relieve the pain of lovesickness. I can only confide to the moon. No one knows, but Mingyue will know; not only knows, but also understands, and will remember all this as a witness. "
Luoluo wondered, from whom did the little girl learn these bourgeois sentiments? But he complied and said: "The two of you are destined to meet each other in the previous life. Last year, you had a dream, but this yearthe dream came true. Reallyreallyis there really such a strange thing?"
Seeing her sister's disbelief, Dafang emphasized: "Why don't you believe it? He looks exactly like the one in my dream."
Luo Luo asked: "Then you invigilate this time, you met a real person, and you still don't tell him what's on your mind?"
Dafang coquettishly said: "Sister, the chief examiner won't let you speak"

Notes
[1] 瑑鷟 (yuèzhuo)
Mian鷟 is one of the five phoenixes in ancient Chinese folklore. Black or purple in color, Mian鷟 symbolizes unyielding quality. In "Primary School Cyan Pearl", it refers to a kind of water bird, which looks like a mallard but has big red eyes.
"Primary School Cyan Pearl" Volume 10, five phoenixes said: "The five colors are red phoenix, yellow pheasant, green phoenix, purple is swan, and white is swan."
The reason why people equate Mianji with Phoenix is ??because Xu Shen interpreted Mianji as a kind of Phoenix in "Shuowen Jiezi". What's more, Fengxian County in Shaanxi got its name because of the Mianji Mountain in its territory, and took Feng as the city symbol.
Literary image
The 鸑鷟 symbolizes the unyielding quality.
In ancient times, because it was considered as a kind of auspicious bird, it was often seen in many ancient books or poems, and sometimes in novels. The two characters "鸑" and "鷟" are sometimes used separately, but they still indicate that the phoenix belongs to the divine bird, such as "phoenix" and "luan鷟鹓鸑", which generally symbolize wise officials and wise men. The meaning of 鸑鷟 as a general water bird sometimes appears in ancient poems. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
