Chapter 407 Education and College Entrance Examination
Yuan Meng still said more or less about knowing Jia Youwei. Once he has made up his mind, it is difficult to change it, and it is useless to say more. Therefore, I reluctantly did it for myself to accept the award.
As soon as she thought that she could appear at the award acceptance site to accept the award for Jia Youwei, she couldn't help but feel excited. Not only did she show her face, but she also let the editorial world and the literary world know about the existence of such a person.
In order to hide the excitement on his face reflected in his heart, Yuan Meng picked up the coffee cup in front of him again and drank the coffee.
Far from calming down her excitement, she became even more excited. I had to put down my coffee cup on the table.
Yuan Meng said in order to distract himself from thinking about the good things of receiving the award: "Education is not fair, the college entrance examination is not fair, but it has been a long time.
Reform is the trend of the times, and I feel that the reform of the university is getting worse and worse, all kinds of college entrance examination points, the independent proposition of various regions and provinces, especially the independent enrollment looks very good, in fact, it is artificially and intentionally left a system backdoor. ”
Jia Youwei leaned back on the chair, supported his head with his left hand and said, "Do you think the imperial examination system in feudal society is absolutely fair?"
Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, it is really so that the children of the poor family can have more opportunities to rise, and also let more people take reading as a career, and then win fame and fame, and realize the carp jumping over the dragon gate to change their own destiny, change the fate of the family, and even the fate of the family.
Although it is said that the opening of the department began in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the number of places is pitiful. Even in the Song Dynasty, it was very limited. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that more admission places were offered.
For this reason, there was a case of the north and south list during the Zhu Yuanzhang period of the Ming Dynasty. Even fairly fair merit-based admissions are problematic.
At that time, the level of education in the South was significantly higher than that in the North. Although there are 51 southerners from all the departments and none of the northerners who have been admitted, it is not impossible to see this possibility.
Later, in terms of the number of admissions, it was divided into north and south lists. Later, in order to develop education in the western region and increase the enthusiasm of the scholars there, some places were allocated to the relatively educationally backward areas.
The North-South Controversy that took place in 1397. In fact, it was not a case of fraud and anti-fraud in the imperial examination, but a political incident in which the ruler used the imperial examination to expand the ruling base and encircle the scholars.
The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty underwent a major change in the Northern and Southern Rankings. Since then, the imperial examination admission in the Ming Dynasty is no longer a unified national line, but is divided into the north and south lists, that is, the students from the north and the south are ranked according to the region where they are located, and after the tribute students are admitted, they will participate in the palace ceremony in a unified manner.
This system has not only been used throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties since then, but also has the same meaning as the zoning in the current college entrance examination. ”
He paused deliberately here, and then said: "To a certain extent, the North-South Bang case reflects the requirements of the political balance between the North and the South in the development of the national unification situation, and also reflects Zhu Yuanzhang's consistent policy of cracking down on and restricting the landlords in the south of the Yangtze River.
To a certain extent, popularize cultural education, increase the enthusiasm of candidates in backward areas for study, balance political relations, and even safeguard national unity, and popularize the imperial examination system in areas inhabited by minority nationalities.
However, the political affairs of the imperial court were mostly controlled by the Southern Confucians, who were proficient in science, and the directors were exhausted, and the political affairs of the Ming Dynasty gradually tended to be corrupt and chaotic.
Since the division of the north and south lists, the relationship between officials in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the relationship between teachers and students (teachers and protégés), the relationship between fellow villagers has also become more and more intense.
Even the formation of gangs among candidates on the same list has gradually become the norm. Qiu Xian, the minister of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, once summed up that there are three ways for the friends to come, one of them on the same list, the second for the protégé of the lord, and the third for the same year.
On the contrary, the relationship between the township party and the party overrides the relationship between teachers and students. From the end of Wanli to the beginning of the Apocalypse, the party struggle that was criticized by later generations was divided into Qi Party, Chu Party, and Zhejiang Party to attack each other, and the system of dividing the list was indeed one of its hotbeds.
Party strife is not only the way to destroy the country, but also a fight between gods and mortals. Don't think that it has nothing to do with ordinary people. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to sit idly and eat melon seeds and watch a play.
The most unfortunate thing is the common people, after all, the political situation is unstable, one moment like this, another time like that, fighting back and forth, making a miasma, dizzy, and completely at a loss. Isn't that what that special decade of this dynasty looked like?"
Jia Youwei said again: "Anyway, the college entrance examination is the fairest among all kinds of unfairness. At the very least, it still depends on the score.
This is more than going to a university during a special period in this dynasty, and that is only by recommendation. People have to have a feeling that they are turning back the clock on history and returning to the system of filial piety and honesty created during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the past.
Needless to say, how many children from ordinary families will be recommended? Wang Shi mentioned in a book he once published, "Roads and Dreams: 20 Years with Vanke", that he was a boiler burner and was recommended by the workers and masters to go to college.
Actually, it's not as glamorous as he writes in the book. Wang Shi's father, as well as her wife's father, are all leading cadres.
Not to mention that in that era, when I came back after college, I would be promoted. Even if you want to be a soldier, you have to have more or less connections in your family.
The number of troops is also very large, at one point it exceeded 6 million, and it was at this historical high in the mid-70s.
In the past years of burning passion, wearing a military uniform was the dream of most people, not at all like today's South Korea, where men tried every means to avoid military service.
Even if some of the people at the bottom of the country want to become soldiers, it will not be easy, and they will have to pay extra money! Let's start with reserve training......
When it comes to the time for the recruits to be transferred to the company, if they don't want to go to the bitter cold land of the frontier, they have to find a relationship and then mean it. After all, it's much more comfortable to stay in a big city.
The island nation is no better off there, and the US military has given it only 290,000 armed forces of the land, sea and air forces that must not exceed 300,000 troops.
The government and the military are even coaxing and deceiving, and they still let ABK48's popular idols endorse, but they are still dissatisfied. This is mainly not because of the low birth rate of the island country and the large number of otaku, but because they are very clear-minded, and it is not noble to be a soldier to defend the country or something, which is a job.
This kind of work is the same as working in a supermarket or something. Since it's all work, why do you have to go to the barracks and be constrained too much?"
