Song Yuanqiang
The imperial examination system has existed in China for more than a thousand years, and now it has become a relic of history. However, the word "number one scholar" as an auspicious word, revealing a spirit of fair competition and hard work, has been circulated and used to this day. From this, readers will naturally have some interest and conjecture about the number one scholar in history. In order to answer these questions, our small book summarizes the process of producing the number one scholar in the past dynasties, lists the names, birthplaces and subjects of nearly 600 candidates who have been tested so far, and introduces some historical data on the first person to win the imperial examination. From this, we can see how they worked hard since childhood and competed step by step in the examination room before finally standing out; we can also see their actual performance and social role in moral conduct, political performance, academic and social life after they became talents and entered the official career.
