八股取士科举制
要想中举极不易
为了求个好吉利
举子临考出怪招
自家门楣竖旗杆
中举旗上写个捷
落榜撤杆叫倒楣
由此出了倒楣鬼
China's imperial examination system
Success is very difficult
To pray for good luck
The candidate did something strange before the exam
Put up a flagpole on the lintel of your house
If selected, write success on the flagpole banner
If you fail the test, you have to knock down the flagpole. This is what is called bad luck.
This is how the unfortunate ghost got its name.
