In ancient times, why were you happier than the top scholar? What's the story behind it?

In ancient times, the reason why I won the flower detective was even happier than winning the first prize. That's because the flower detective not only recognizes your talent, but also proves that your face value is also very high.

In ancient China, the first place in the imperial examination was called the champion lang. In the imperial examination system, in addition to the champion, there are second place and flower exploration. As long as the people who can get this title are lucky, the title of "exploring flowers" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, because it was the spring when the exam was in full bloom. This party is also called "apricot blossom banquet". At the banquet, two very handsome teenagers presented flowers to the champion. These two handsome teenagers were called "flower girl", so "flower girl" began to refer to handsome people.

Originally, the first place was the champion, and the second and third places were all called the second place. Later, in the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong stipulated that the third place on the list was collectively called "Flower Exploration". Although "Flower Exploration" is the third place, his position is not worse than that of the top scholar and the second place, because all three were personally recognized by the emperor. The reason why people who win flower scouts are happier than those who win the first prize is that flower scouts need not only good literary talent, but also high-value people.

The person who wins the first prize is usually the best candidate made by the princess's husband. Although she has become a relative of the royal family, it is not easy for Xu to marry a princess, and she should be paid tribute every day. The flower detective is different. Flower exploration is the object of competition among royal relatives, and it is more popular than Ma Xu.
