In the imperial examination, the person who ranks first is called Yuan, the provincial examination is called Yuan, and the examination is called Huiyuan. Palace examination champion. Under the Tang system, all candidates who bring juren to Beijing must submit a petition. Because the person who comes first is called the leader, he is called the champion.

"Ten years of cold window, nobody cares, and became famous in one fell swoop"; "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book ..." These famous sayings inspired many students to work hard, hang their beams and stab their stocks, drill stereotyped writing, and go forward bravely.
