The Hongwu Dynasty can be said to be the beginning of the establishment of schools in Chinese history, which promoted the good governance of birds. But Bird only wanted to create his own tools and had many prohibitions on students. Not only is it not allowed to talk about the so-called military, but it is also stipulated that "health workers are not allowed to enter the kitchen to talk about the beauty and evil of food." Those who dared to commit crimes were beaten and deported.
Song En drank for the first time in the Imperial College. He was very strict with his students and the food was poor. Some students died of hunger. A student named Zhao Lin couldn't stand the abuse. He put up a wall poster at school in protest. According to the school's regulations, this is a "crime of vandalism and insult to teachers" and should be banned with a hundred large boards. However, Byrd believes that this trend will not last long when students protest against teachers. He actually executed Zhao extrajudicially and erected a long pole in front of the school to show to the public.
This bloody pole stood there until Ming Wuzong, who was famous for his debauchery in the history of the Ming Dynasty, appeared and was ordered to be demolished. According to historical records, during a tour of the South, he came to the Imperial College of Nanjing and was surprised to see this bamboo pole. What is this for? The teacher's answer was to hang the student, but Wu Zongda disagreed. He said a very simple "famous saying": Is school a place of execution? Throw it away. This damn pillar has been standing for 126 years.
The content of the imperial examination was limited to a few classics. Wang Anshi was the founder of the Song Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's "creation" was that he and his civil servants strictly fixed the style of the imperial examination. The beginning, turning, and ending of the article must be meticulous. In this way, the thoughts of the article have long been sanctified and the format has been unified, forcing literati all over the world to waste their talents on the snail shell of stereotypes, only looking at who is doing well in the snail shell, and wasting their youth in vain.
Qin Shihuang was afraid of learning, criticized the government, burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, while Tang Taizong implemented the imperial examination. Seeing that there were more imperial examinations, he said happily: "All the heroes in the world have fallen into my trap." Bird went further and restricted the stereotype of scholars. The method is Tang Taizong's "Heroic Art", and the intention is Qin Shihuang's "burning books and entrapping Confucianism"
The cultural levels of the north and south are different, and most of them come from the south, including the 30th year of Hongwu. Northerners were dissatisfied, and Byrd ordered a thorough investigation to prove that there was no fraud. At this time, there were rumors that critics deliberately showed the emperor bad books about northerners. Byrd was furious and immediately executed several of the officials who inspected them. At the same time, he personally took the exam and re-selected 61 people, all of whom were from the north. "This is called the North-South List." "The Cambridge History of Ming Dynasty in China" written by a Western scholar directly commented on this unjust case: "Such an incident reflects a person's mental state after suffering from paranoia for a long time.
