郭祥正不曾担任秘阁校理

Guo Xiangzheng Never Held Position of Secret Court Secretariat

孔凡礼先生认为"郭祥正十九岁中进士,除秘阁校理,授星子主簿,不久弃官归"。此后,很多研究者沿袭这种说法。其实,郭祥正十九岁中进士时,不可能除任馆职"秘阁校理",而实际除任应是从九品阶官"秘书省校书郎"。

In the works of Wang Shuo, ＂ the troubleshooters＂ is a group of young men, wild yet confused. Without a purpose in life, they never search for meaning of life, but live a life without a yoke, taking their own approach to dealing with puzzled youth. They are both contradictory and helpless, reflecting era confusion caused in the eighties or nineties of the 20th century by a social shift from disruption of the domestic political situation to com- modity economy development. Facing conflict of the revolutionary war era and modem urban civilization, and confronted a ＂discontinued layer＂, they feel agitated, sad and desperate. Old revolutionary spirit has been unable to adapt to the bustle of modem cities and faith is gone. They are the products under the shadow of that era; their state of mind is truly a reflection of the general spiritual confusion of the 80s and 90s＇young people.
