<p><span class="書名">旗亭記</span>作<span class="專名">王之渙</span>狀元及第，語雖荒唐，亦快人心之論也。<span class="專名">沈歸愚</span>尚書題詞，云：『特為才人吐奇氣，鵷雛卑伏忽飛騫。科名一準方千例，地下何妨中狀元。』按：<span class="書名">琵琶記</span>以<span class="專名">蔡邕</span>為狀元，彼時原無此名，故令閱者為之絕倒。<span class="專名">唐</span>時雖已有狀元之名，其實授官始於<span class="專名">宋</span>代，初階不過僉判、廷評，歷俸既深，然後入館承制，馴至宰執，非若今之狀元，甫經釋褐，即踐清華如登仙，為科名之冠也。然則<span class="專名">唐</span>之狀元，於<span class="專名">之渙</span>何關輕重？作是曲者，亦如<span class="專名">尤西堂</span>之扮<span class="專名">李白</span>登科，徒為多事矣。顧<span class="專名">青蓮</span>不必登科，而以<span class="專名">玉環</span>考試，則不妨作第一人想；若『<span class="專名">黃河</span>遠上』之詞，雙鬟久具隻眼，又何論<span class="專名">之渙</span>之狀元不狀元乎？</p>
