How about Rong Zhai's essay?

Reading Notes on History: Hong Mai recorded a story in Rongzhai Essays: In the first year of Yanping, Sun only recorded a small list of fifty people. From the first session to the fourteenth session, they were all from Kaifeng, but the ninth session of Liu Ye was from Henan, and the next twenty-five people were all from Kaifeng, saying that we should not choose too many people, and they all suspected that they were outsiders, so as to facilitate our progress. Kaifeng at that time was one of the best metropolises in the world, far from being comparable to Peiping now, so everyone was proud of being in Kaifeng. In the Song Dynasty, the system of native place was very strict, so it was not so easy to get an Kaifeng hukou. So some people are full of strange tricks. "Painting in Poetry" said: Mr. Zhou, a native of Fuzhou, was appointed for two years in Tianxi, so he could not go to his hometown to recommend him. Followed by an old friend of it runs in the family, he stayed in the county and voted for him. And the country's treaties are strict, and it is not allowed to send books, so it is recommended that its county help. When his father heard of it, he wrote a poem saying, "The article is not as good as Lin Hongfan, and the whole virtue is due to Li Pingtan. If you are a parent, you will have to burn it. " Always depressed to death. This Mr. Zhou (Zhou is always his name, not the boss) does not hesitate to recognize others as his father in order to take the exam in different places. After his biological father wrote a letter of reproach, his conscience found that he died of depression. This is an extreme. This is similar to many phenomena now. Nowadays, college entrance examination students have become college entrance examination immigrants in order to get into a better school with the same score. Those who have the ability go to Beijing and Shanghai, and those who have the poor ability go to remote areas. The current household registration system is not necessarily looser than that of the Song Dynasty, so it is not difficult to emigrate, and many people are found out every year. I still see everyone moving forward wave after wave, full of tricks. It's nothing new to recognize others as fathers. There are also real money who are not afraid of exams, both ancient and modern. Unlike the current national unified examination, the examiners in the former dynasty had different examiners in every place. The local examiner at that time was XXX male. If you are a celebrity, your face is quite bright. Bai Juyi presided over the examination in Hangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Hu (the author of the famous He Manzi) was originally from Wucheng (now Hebei) in the east of Qing Dynasty. Although he didn't finish the exam in Wan Li, this spirit is really admirable. /? p= 10 138
