师爷,在古代又叫幕友、幕宾或幕僚,是一种受地方长官聘请,帮助处理各种事务的无官职佐助人员。因此,从体制上说,古代的师爷既没有纳入官府编制,更不占官员职数,无正常上升空间,只是地方官员自己出钱聘用的幕后参谋,职责是协助官员处理政务。然而,在地方政治事务中,历朝历代的师爷们,都扮演着极其重要的角色。唐朝的科举制度比较完善,很多读书人都拼命往读书求取功名这条独木桥上挤,然 In ancient times, Master Yeh, also known as a mute, a guest or a clerical staff member, was a non-official staff member hired by the local governor to help deal with various matters.

Many of the scholars were desperate to go to school for the name of this single-plank bridge.
