Once upon a time, there was a young man named Xiaoming, who was intelligent and studious from a young age and passed the xiangshi examination to become a xiucai. After the xiangshi examination, he became proud and complacent, believing himself to be invincible and stopped studying hard. Later, he participated in the imperial examination, but because of his shallow knowledge, he failed. Xiaoming realized his mistake and deeply regretted it. From then on, he changed his complacent bad habit and studied even harder, eventually becoming an excellent official.
