Jin Fan, as a typical intellectual image poisoned by feudal thoughts in The Scholars, was selected into our Chinese textbook, which proves how "popular" Jin Fan is.

If we are familiar with China's textbooks, we will find out how much effort Jin Fan has made to promote them. In that era of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", Jin Fan is over 50 years old and still a little boy. This is not to say that he didn't study hard, but because the imperial examination system was at work at that time.

The imperial examination system at that time was a well-known "eight-part essay" routine. Writing an article must follow the existing pattern and cannot modify a rhythm. This level is estimated to be the same as writing ancient poems now, even a hundred times more difficult.

After decades of study, examination, examination failure, study, examination failure, Jin Fan was finally accepted by a juren, so you can imagine his excitement.

For Jin Fan, his life goal is to study, take exams, get promoted and become an official. Being an official is his ultimate goal. When he finally achieved his goal, he actually went to extremes.

It's like something you've been waiting for for a long time. When you put it in front of you in an instant, you must have a good time and can't wait to tell the world that you have it.

Jin Fan, too, has been seeking fame for decades, and now he suddenly gets it. He must show off his official prestige.

In addition, the reaction of others around him also led Jin Fan to become a "bad official", especially Jin Fan's father-in-law, "Hu Butcher". Butcher Hu was dismissive or even dismissive of his son-in-law before winning the grand prize, but after his son-in-law had a successful career, he began to regard him with special respect and always flattered him. In addition to the butcher Hu, people around him began to please the "big official" and became more and more proud.

In a word, Jin Fan will not be a good official after his promotion.
