What does "Lianzhong Sanyuan" mean?

The word "United with the masses for three yuan" originated from the imperial examination system in ancient China.

Take the Qing Dynasty as an example. In the old society, the whole process of imperial examination began at the grass-roots level of government, state and county, which was called children's examination. Those who take the exam are called Tong Sheng, those who pass the exam are called scholar, and the first one is called desk. The official higher-level national examination is called provincial examination, which is held in the provincial capital. The candidates are scholars from all over the country. After the exam, it is called Juren, and the first name is "Xie Yuan"; The next level is the meeting, which is held in the Ministry of Rites. The one who took the exam was Juren, who was called Gong Sheng after the exam, and the first place was "Hui Yuan"; The imperial examination was held in the golden hall of the emperor, who presided over the examination himself. Gong Sheng was called the "top scholar". In the ancient imperial examination system in China, there were 17 people who were able to win three yuan in a row. They are:

Zhang and Zhun in Tang Dynasty;

Sun He, Wang Zeng, Song Yao, Yang Zhi, Wang Ruocuo and Feng Jing in the Song Dynasty;

Meng Songxian of Jin Dynasty;

Wang Chongzhe of Yuan Dynasty;

Huang Guan and Shang Lu in Ming Dynasty;

Qian Ming, Chen Jichang and Dai Quheng in Qing Dynasty.

In addition, there have been two "Wu Sanyuan" in history.

First, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang, a native of Yongjia, Zhejiang Province, entered the Chinese Martial Arts Department for three yuan, and there were more than a thousand officials to the Royal Guards. He is proficient in classics and history and is good at writing poems. At that time, he called his martial arts, poetry and calligraphy "three unique skills". What is particularly commendable is that he is honest and clean, does not flatter powerful people, and is quite a gentleman.

The second is that during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhejiang native Wang Yubi even joined the Chinese Martial Arts School for three dollars. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, this man was admitted to Wu Xiucai. He was the first archer and was known as the "dead shot", so people praised him as "Wu Siyuan". Although he was born as a samurai, he never let go of his books, and his writing style was brilliant, and he also had the reputation of being an all-rounder in civil and military affairs.

Wang was a famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty. According to legend, when his father saw that the scriptures were worn out, he wanted to renovate them, and he didn't dare to throw them away without saying a word. One night, Confucius gave him a dream: "You cherish my book so much that I let Zeng Shen be reincarnated as your son." A few days later, his wife got pregnant and gave birth to a son named Zeng. Wang, in his early twenties, won the first place in the tribute after having obtained the provincial examination, and was called "". After that, he was recommended to go to Beijing to take the exam hosted by the Ministry of Rites, and then ranked first, called "Huiyuan". Next, a young imperial examiner wrote a book title by Song Zhenzong, entitled "No One Can Be Less". After Wang Zeng handed in the paper, among them, "the dragon is extraordinary and greedy; What do you know about weaving grass? " It's really embalmed, but it's fake. "And so on, it won the admiration of the emperor and won the first place. In this way, the young king once became the first "three elements" integrating Yuan, Hui Yuan and the top scholar since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and climbed to the top of the scientific research pyramid.

The good news was sent back to Wang Zeng's hometown and was cited as a once-in-a-lifetime glory by the officials and the people. Qingzhou famously went to his hometown to hang a gold plaque of "Sanyuanfang". The busybody drew a pattern consisting of longan, litchi and walnut, and took the round harmonic "yuan", which contained three numbers, meaning "even three yuan".

Lianzhong sanyuan means a person, a very talented person, with a good education.

Traditional implication mode. Litchi, longan and walnut are three pieces each. Because these three fruits are round, their "round" and "yuan" are homophonic; Some also shoot three copper coins or three gold ingots with bows and arrows. It means "continuous ternary". The imperial examination system in Qing Dynasty was divided into three levels of examinations, and the first place in the pilot was awarded to Xie Yuan, Huiyuan and Champion respectively. For example, in the third-level examination, candidates won three first places in a row, which is the so-called "three-yuan continuous examination", which is the supreme honor in feudal society.
