Chapter 14 Sun Shan

In the Song Dynasty of our country, there was a talented man named Sun Shan. He was not only humorous, but also good at telling jokes, so people around him nicknamed him "Funny Talent". Once, he went to the capital with the son of a fellow countryman to take the exam for juren. When the list was released, although Sun Shan's name was listed at the bottom of the list, it was still on the list, but the son of the fellow countryman who went with him did not pass the exam. Soon after Sun Shan returned home, his fellow countrymen came to ask if his son had passed the exam.Mori Shan was embarrassed to speak directly, but also inconvenient to conceal, so he casually recited two lines that were not poetic:

"It's Sun Shan at the end of Jieyuan, and the virtuous man is outside Sun Shan." Jieyuan is the number one candidate in the imperial examination system of our country.And Sun Shan's so-called "Jie Yuan" in his poems generally refers to the general examination candidates.The whole point of his poem is to say: "The last one on the list is my Sun Shan, but your son's name is still behind my Sun Shan." From then on, based on this story, people called the failure to apply for school or take various examinations as "failing to be admitted".
