Candidates who take the exam in Beijing don't need to worry about this problem, which is also a special benefit for them. What's going on here?

1. In ancient times, there was a wise saying of candidates who took the exam in Beijing: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high." Although it is said that "three hundred and sixty lines make the top scholar", at that time, the idea that society respected was "scholar, agriculture, industry and commerce", that is to say, scholar's status was the highest. If they had the opportunity to study, their families would certainly not allow the next generation to study business, which is enough to prove that in ancient times.
Compared with ordinary candidates, in fact, candidates who take the exam in Beijing have a bigger and brighter aura. This is because the candidates who can take the exam in Beijing are all outstanding talents in a state or county. Many people say that the college entrance examination is stressful, but the ancient imperial examination was not easy.

1, the steps of ancient imperial examinations
In ancient times, most scholars who took the imperial examinations began to learn Chinese characters when they were four or five years old. After learning a certain amount of knowledge, they will take the Tong Sheng exam. There are three stages in the examination of young students, namely, county examination, government examination and college examination. Only when these three items are passed can we take part in the real imperial examination.
The examination for young students is not as simple as imagined. Some people can't even pass the Tongsheng exam all their lives, but after passing the Tongsheng exam, they have already won the title of a juren, and finally they need to go to Beijing to catch the exam and enter the palace for the exam.

2. Candidates who go to Beijing to take the exam.
In other words, all the candidates who can take the exam in Beijing have passed the provincial exam. Such candidates are not only outstanding talents in a state or county, but also get the title of juren.
Some dynasties, such as the Qing Dynasty, won the jury and became an official, indicating that the giants had already had half a foot in the officialdom. How can the identity of such a candidate who goes to Beijing to take the exam be average?

Second, why didn't bandits stop the candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam? Candidates who go to Beijing to take exams, especially those who are far away from Beijing, usually bear a large sum of travel expenses. After all, we have to consider all kinds of expenses that need to be spent along the way and the money that needs to be spent on exams in Beijing.
Coupled with the general inability of candidates, it is reasonable to say that such objects are more likely to be intercepted by bandits. But in fact, candidates who go to Beijing to take the exam often arrive in Beijing safely to take the exam. Then, why don't bandits stop the candidates who come to Beijing to take the exam?

1, the candidate's identity is unusual.
All the exams in Beijing are juren, which can also be called juren master. The reason is that they are already members of the court. If some short-sighted robbers or bandits intercepted Juren, wouldn't that be tantamount to openly confronting the imperial court? You are easy to be killed.
For example, in Kong Yiji, Kong Yiji hurt his leg because he went to a juren's house to steal something. This matter can also be seen to some extent. Juren's identity is not ordinary, not equal to ordinary civilians, so you can't easily offend.
