Harm; Reading for the purpose of being an official is too old-fashioned.

1. The Chinese imperial examination system has had a profound impact on East Asian culture and examination systems

1. Impact on South Korea.

The imperial examination of Goryeo included the two major undertakings of the preparation of the narrative and the Ming Jing, which was the result of imitating the Jinshi Branch, Xiucai Branch, and Ming Jing Department of the Tang Dynasty. In 1369, Goryeo adopted the Yuan Dynasty system, implemented the "three-tier imperial examination method", and implemented the imperial examination system of three stages of the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination.

2. Impact on Japan.

The foundation of the Japanese imperial examination, the "Pension Law", is based on the Tang "Yonghui Order" and "Kaiyuan Qianling Order", which establishes the basic content and form of the Japanese imperial examination. According to the "Pension Law", the Japanese tribute examination subjects are basically the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, including four subjects such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, and Ming Law, as well as specialized technical subjects such as medicine and acupuncture, and the content of the examination is also similar to the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty in China.

Comparatively speaking, the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were more commoner, while the Japanese imperial examinations had a strong aristocratic atmosphere. Although the imperial examination has only been practiced in Japan for about 300 years, the influence of the imperial examination system on Japan is still very profound.

3. Impact on Vietnam.

Vietnam's imperial examination system is almost copied from China in terms of content and form. Born in the Li Dynasty, reformed in the Tran Dynasty, flourished in the Lê Dynasty, and developed in the Nguyen Dynasty, Vietnam is the latest of the three East Asian countries to implement the imperial examination and the latest country in the world to abolish the imperial examination.

2. The influence of China's imperial examination system on the civil service examination system in Europe and the United States

The imperial examination system has not only been copied and imitated by some countries in East Asia, but also used as a reference by Western countries such as Britain, France, and the United States. Historical data prove that the civil service examination piloted in Britain in 1855 and fully implemented in 1870, and the United States began to adopt the civil service examination system in 1883, all of which originated from the direct or indirect influence of China's imperial examination system on European and American countries.

In a publication in the Harvard Journal of Asian Studies, the American scholar Craig said: "The establishment of China's civil administration system with the imperial examination as the core is one of China's most important contributions to the world." The American sinologist Budd said:

The imperial examination system is undoubtedly the most precious gift of knowledge that China has given to the West."

There is no leaf in the world that is the same as another, and people's thoughts are the same, and everyone's thoughts are different from others. What's more, the imperial examination system is to be popularized throughout the country. In ancient times, when China had not yet started cultural exchanges with foreign countries, the imperial examination system was only a unique system in China.

In foreign countries, there are schools, churches, and so on that are set up in the form they have set. Moreover, when the imperial examination system was prevalent, there were very few exchanges between foreign countries and China, almost none. Therefore, in this case, there will be no imperial examination system abroad.

Because of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, the imperial examination system has gone through more than 1,300 years. Looking around the world, the only ancient civilization that is still inherited is China.

Each country's national conditions are different, and there are various systems suitable for themselves, and China's imperial examination system is applicable in China, but it does not mean that it is also applicable in other countries.

Although other countries do not have an imperial examination system, they also have their own set of systems for selecting talents, but this system is called the imperial examination system in China, and it is not called the imperial examination system in other countries.
