Why did ancient scholars study hard for ten years in the cold window just to be a "devil wears Prada"?
In ancient times, if you asked a scholar what his ideal was, nine out of ten people would say it was quite "the devil wears Prada". This is not a mental illness. Because in ancient times, "wearing Prada's devil wears Prada" actually means "being the first".

There is an ancient saying that "everything is inferior and reading is high", because the purpose of many scholars is to be an official. Then how do you know that this is an official in a group of people, the one wearing official clothes? The word "devil wears prada" literally means that the clothes are painted with "animals", which means animals. In ancient times, only official uniforms had animals.

Everyone knows what the emperor's clothes are, the dragon robe, because the emperor thinks he is the real dragon emperor, so the clothes will be painted with five claws. When Zhu Yuanzhang was emperor in the Ming Dynasty, he saw that only his clothes had dragons, and no other officials had them. He felt that his dragon was not so special, so he ordered other officials to embroider animals on his clothes.

Of course, these animals are not embroidered casually. Zhu Yuanzhang also specially asked someone to compile a hierarchy, which was the characteristic of feudal imperial power. Civil servants are birds, military attaches are beasts. The higher your rank, the rarer your animals are, just like a civilian embroidered with cranes and a military attache embroidered with Kirin.

At the same time, they were all called "parents" in ancient times. Officials are parents and represent the people. The level of productivity in ancient times was relatively low, and it relied more on nature. Therefore, embroidering animals on officials is also a manifestation of harmonious coexistence with nature and blessing the good weather.

Therefore, in ancient times, the "devil wears Prada" was an official, and the highest wish of many scholars was to become the pupil of the son of heaven and one day embark on the official career. Therefore, studying hard in the cold window for ten years and becoming the "devil wears prada" is the happy ending. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as "Jin Fan is crazy with excitement".
