(1) Reading changes fate. Whether it is the current college entrance examination system or the ancient imperial examination system, reading is the best way to change your destiny.
The ancients studied hard at a cold window for ten years, and once they passed the imperial examination, they became bureaucrats. If you are lucky, you can marry the daughter of a court official or even a princess, instantly change your destiny and go directly to the peak of your life. Even if it's only the lowest imperial examination, you don't have to kneel to see the official.
Now, the college entrance examination is also an important opportunity for many people, especially rural children, to change their destiny. Being admitted to a good university, although not as exaggerated as the top scholar in the ancient exam, at least means getting closer to a good job. 985,211is the basic condition for many companies to recruit people.
Therefore, although there are many people who fail in the list every year and only a few people pass the exam, the chances of reading to change their destiny are still much higher than other ways.
(2) No talent is a scholar, and "no talent is a scholar" seems to mean that reading is useless, which is just the opposite of "reading changes fate".
However, this sentence obviously does not mean that all scholars are useless. At least those scholars who won the prize will not feel useless. Most of them refer to the students who failed in the last article.
In fact, this poem is from "Miscellaneous Feeling" by Huang Jingren, a poet in Qing Dynasty. The whole poem is as follows:
random thought
The immortal Buddha didn't make it, only knowing that the night was uneven.
The wind shed is full of sad songs, and the mud is stained with poverty and happiness.
Nine out of ten people are contemptible, but none of them is a scholar.
Don't worry about poetry. Spring birds and autumn insects make their own voices. ?
"Nine out of ten people will roll their eyes at them because they are useless scholars." Huang Jingren is a descendant of Huang Tingjian, a poet in Song Dynasty, and also a famous poet in Qing Dynasty. When he wrote this poem, he didn't really want to say that the scholar was useless, but expressed his personal poverty and resentment, expressed his aggrieved mood, and also reflected the anguish of young intellectuals at that time.
In fact, there is another explanation for "no talent is a scholar": none of the ancient philosophers was used by the court. He expressed his incompetence in this way, and the court did not understand the resentment of employing people.
Therefore, the phrase "no talent is a scholar" obviously does not mean that all taxis are useless, but is ironic in some cases. Although, there are indeed a few useless people, for example, another poem said: "Every time you kill a dog, you are a scholar."
