In ancient times, men married when they were twenty "weak crowns", and women married when they were fifteen "and ji". A man like Wang Mian who is not married at the age of forty is considered strange even now.
At the beginning, Wang Mian, who was in his weaker years, also thought about getting married and having children. But when his parents were busy marrying him, the imperial examination system, which had been banned for 44 years, was restored.
? The fourth emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Aiyu Libali Bada, was a Mongolian, but the edict he issued was not Mongolian at all. His imperial edict clearly stipulated who could take the college entrance examination, what content to take, and even the composition of the invigilators.
Although his admission prospectus is short, it points out the key to a country's cultivation of talents.
The imperial edict said: Only those who are 25 years old or above, the township party calls them filial piety, their friends obey their faith, and they have practiced enlightenment can take the exam.
In today's terms, if you want to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, you must be a person with both ability and political integrity, and you can't just look at the score. Otherwise, what if you win the "Top Three"? Don't you run to the enemy's country and join the enemy to deal with your own country? Qin Hui of the previous dynasty is an example.
[1] "The Analects of Confucius. For Politics" Confucianism
The Master said: I have five out of ten and I am determined to learn.
Stand at thirty, not be confused at forty,
At fifty one knows the destiny, at sixty one listens to one's ears,
At seventy, follow your heart's desire and do not exceed the rules.
In the year when the imperial examination was resumed, Wang Mian happened to meet the conditions. He took part in the provincial examinations in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and after winning the exam, he brought his school boy to the capital.
Wang Mian was born in that era of barren culture, and he was self-taught without the guidance of a famous teacher. Therefore, he failed in the first college entrance examination.
He is from Shaoxing, it is not easy to come to the capital, and he is from a poor family, how can he have so much money for him to go back and forth? So he lived in the capital. But this stay lasted for 12 years, and I survived from youth to forty years.
Wang Mian picked up the wine glass and said with a wry smile: "There is a saying, you can establish a family at thirty, but do I live like a home? There is a saying, you don't feel confused at forty, but how do I feel, the more alive I am?" Don't you want to live anymore?"
Yu Tian noticed that some tears were oozing from Wang Mian's eyes, so he comforted him and said, "Look at you, there was no imperial examination before, and you men still live in style? Why is the imperial examination restored, you can't live anymore .¡±
Wang Mian saw that the wine in the jar had been drunk, so he sent the book boy to fetch wine.
"Hey~ hey~ don't drink. It's almost dawn, don't you want to go to my house to burn the kang today, with your wine"
"I dont go!"
"Why don't you go again?"
"I go to your house, what is it, my friend? Or? Isn't this bad for Madam's reputation!"
"Sister, I'm not afraid of these things."
"You are not afraid, I am afraid!"
"You big man, what are you afraid of?"
"What are you afraid of!" Wang Mian raised his head and said, "I couldn't find a wife in the first place, if I were with you"
Yu Tian let out a "puchi" and laughed: "Otherwise, I will marry you?"
Wang Mian said: "No, no, no, you marry me, and your elder brother won't beat me to death? I don't want to die now. I still have old parents at home. I don't want a white-haired man to send me a black-haired man!"
"The one in my family passed away a long time ago."
"Passed, passed away Sister, how old is this year?"
"Six years younger than you."
"You, you are twenty-one?"
"How did you figure out twenty-one"
"You, you do the math, I belong to the dog, am I not twenty-seven this year!"
"Why don't you, how good is Seventeen?"
"Seventeen, it doesn't belong to a dog!"
"Return, return, look at your old face, is it 'old'?"
"Why are you still acting old? In my sister's eyes, am I an old antique?"
"Isn't it?" Yu Tian laughed angrily at him, "Look at the 'patina' on your face, no, the vicissitudes on your face, your wrinkles at least thirty-nine"
[2] "Drunken Song - Xia Que" Wang Mian. Poetry
Don't you see Beimang Mountain,
There are no buildings in Shiyang Shihu Pai,
In the old days, there were many tombs of emperors.
Today is full of stinging foxes and rabbits,
The broken steles are the way to go.
I don't see the capital of Qin and Han,
Bai Er Shan He NengHe was beheaded as a eunuch.
First, male symbol
The ancient Yuefu "Moshang Sang" said: "When a traveler sees Luofu, he puts down his burden and strokes his mustache." It can be seen that every man who walked with a burden at that time had a beard.
In "Logic and Language" published in "Red Flag" magazine in 1961, it was mentioned that Han men grew beards in ancient times, not because they liked beards, but because men must grow beards.
Second, family background
In the ancient family, if the parents passed away, they had to grow beards to express their condolences. When the father died, the beard on the upper lip was grown, and when the mother died, the beard on the chin was grown. If both parents pass away, the upper and lower stay together. From then on, only simple daily pruning can be carried out, not all shaved.
During the period of the Republic of China, the image of Mr. Lu Sun was that he had a beard on his upper lip and a smooth chin. This is the expression of his father's death and his mother's life. In the dark age of foreign invaders, many patriots spontaneously grew beards together. In terms of image, this aspiration is used to represent the fall of the country, the heavenly father, the earth, the mother, the king and the relatives all perish.
Third, the value of appearance
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, "many beards" were a sign of a handsome man. According to the "Continued Han Shu", Sima Zhi, the prefect of Julu County during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "was pure white, with a beautiful beard and beard, and his appearance was dignified, and the villagers worshiped him like a god." In ancient times, a man with a beautiful beard could become a famous handsome man at that time.
"Han Shu. Huo Guang Biography" records: Huo Guang "seven feet three inches long, fair, sparse eyebrows, beautiful beard". Celebrities in the Three Kingdoms period were all "big beards". Among them, the most classic beard grew on the face of Guan Yu, a famous general of the Shu Kingdom, and was "several feet long".
"Three Kingdoms. Wei Shu. Biography of Cui Yan" records that Cui Yan, a counselor under Cao Cao, has an extremely beautiful beard: "The voice is high and smooth, the eyebrows are sparse, and the beard is four feet long." Liu Yiqing of the Southern Dynasties "Shi Shuo Xin Yu. Rong Zhi" records that when the Huns came to envoy, Cao Cao "thought he was ugly and not worthy of a great country", so he arranged for Cui Yan to meet him instead, but he "grabbed a sword and stood on the bedside", and the envoy of the Huns Said: "The person who catches the knife by the bedside is a hero."
What kind of beard is considered beautiful?
At least the length must pass the test. Ming Xie Zhaozhe's "Wuzazu. Renbuyi" lists the length of the beards of several ancient celebrities - Jin Taifu Wang Yu, Liu Yuan, the founding emperor of the former Zhao regime of the Sixteen Kingdoms, "all three feet"; Cui Yan "beards four feet long" Chi"; Liu Yao, the son of Liu Yuan and former Emperor Zhaowen of Zhao, "grows to five feet".
