构建荣耀:宋代状元游街与崇文风气

Constructing glory:Zhuangyuan’s parade and culture-advocating atmosphere in the Song Dynasties

宋代状元在唱名赐第后沿京城主要街道游行至期集所。两宋时期,进士及第第1人为状元,第2人、第3人也可称为状元。北宋前期,状元游街历经个人自备、官方给驺,南宋扩至文武三魁。状元地位在游街中凸显,服饰变化主要有披绿紫、执丝鞭、戴羞帽等。状元游街催生了社会读书向学之风,这得益于宋代的崇文政策,并助推了科举制度的发展。

Top scholars called Zhuangyuan in the the Song Dynasties marched along the main streets of the capital to the meeting place after being granted the title of the top scholar in imperial exams.During the Song Dynasties,the first three candidates who got top grades in imperial exams were called Zhuangyuan,top scholar.In the early Northern Song Dynasty,Zhuangyuan went through the process from personal horses and carriages to official guards.By the Southern Song Dynasty,the scope of official guards had included the first three in civil and military field.Due to the change of identity,the corresponding changes of street clothes were mainly reflected in being green and purple,holding a silk whip,wearing a shame hat,etc..The position of Zhuangyuan was also gradually highlighted in the street.Zhuangyuan’s parade gave birth to the trend of reading and learning in society,which benefited from the policy of advocating literature in the Song Dynasties and boosted the development of the imperial examination system.
