Idioms and allusions

In the Song Dynasty, there was a talented man named sun Shan. He was not only humorous, but also good at telling jokes, so people nearby nicknamed him "funny talented man". Once, he and a fellow son went to the capital to take part in the exam. When the list was released, although sun Shan's name was listed at the bottom of the list, it was still on the list. However, the son of the fellow countryman who went with him did not pass the exam. Soon after sun Shan returned home, his fellow countrymen came to ask if his son had passed the exam. Sun Shan was embarrassed to speak directly, but also inconvenient to conceal, so he read out two lines of Poetry: "it's sun Shan who knows his name, and the virtuous man is outside sun Shan." The whole meaning of his poem is: "the last one on the list is my sun Shan, but your son's name is still behind my sun Shan." From then on, according to this story, people call it "failure of success" to enter a school or take various examinations but not be admitted.
