北宋进士的质量是个颇为复杂的问题,因为北宋有让人牵挂的苏东坡,有勤奋执著的欧阳修,有为后人留下了《资治通鉴》的司马光。如果细数还有不少值得后人纪念的人物。但只要读《宋史》尤其是金人南下攻打北宋京城的那段历史,就会使人掩卷长叹:甚矣,北宋进士的质量之差。 The quality of the Northern Song Dynasty Jinshi is a rather complex issue because there are people in the Northern Song Dynasty care about Su Dong, Ouyang Xiu, a dedicated hardworking, for the descendants of the “Sui Zhi Tong Jian,” Sima Guang. If the breakdown there are many worthy of future generations to commemorate the characters. However, as long as reading the history of the Song, especially the history of the Jin people attacking the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, they will make people sobs too much: the quality of the scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty is poor.
