From inspection to imperial examination , why did the deep rooted scholar family gradually declin

The prototype of the scholar clan came from the "scholar" class in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and developed rapidly during the Han Dynasty, relying on land annexation, wealth accumulation, inspection and so on to make the scholar clan grow larger and larger, and let this behemoth finally disappear in history, there are the following reasons: one is the birth of the imperial examination system; the second is the contradiction within the nobles; The third is the impact of the land system.

First, the birth of the imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system began to appear as a substitute for the examination system and the nine products of the positive system, although in the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system was only a prototype, and did not become the main means of selecting officials, but in the Tang and Song dynasties, the imperial examination system has become an important means of selecting talents, and has relative fairness, which gives those scholars from poor backgrounds have more opportunities, further squeezing the living space of the scholars, and losing the main way to add officials to the knighthood, Then the status of the Shi family has declined significantly, and it will inevitably begin to decline. <>

Second, the contradictions within the scholar clan In fact, there is corruption from the inside out within the scholar family. First of all, a long time in a high position, a long time to dominate one side, it can be said that it has consumed the enterprising spirit of everyone in the Shi family, they are content with life, no longer have any progress, just enjoy the shadow left by their ancestors, such a dissipation of will, will inevitably lead to the Shi family can no longer make progress. <>

In addition, among the Shi family, everyone is intrigued, as if they have become a small court, hoping to master more, have more, and possess more, such a power struggle will inevitably lead to internal consumption, which will lead to the final collapse of the Shi family. <>

3. The impact of the land system on the Shi family relied on a large amount of land to give him economic benefits, and under the impact of the land system such as the field equalization system, it can be said that the land annexation of the Shi family clan had a restraining effect, and the gradual decline of the Shi family clan would naturally occur when the basic economic income was lost.

Because when it was still the inspection system, the scholars were able to make their own people officials through their own power, but later because of the imperial examination system, they lost these opportunities, which made it decline.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system has been more perfect, almost all of which come from the imperial examination, coupled with the development of the economy, more commoners have gone to the official career, bureaucratic politics has been formally formed, and the politics of the scholar clan has completely disappeared.

Because of the war era, more and more people thought that reading could not kill the enemy for the country, people respected people who practiced martial arts more, and treated literati very little or even a little ridiculous, and the scholar family gradually declined.

Because the imperial examination is relatively fairer, it is no longer just a stage for the big families, which is an inevitable trend of historical progress.

Yuan Shao represents the interests and hopes of the gate lord clan.

Sima Yi is the Sima clan of Wen County, Hanoi County, Sizhou, Xun Yu is the Yingchuan Xun clan, and Chen Qun is the Yingchuan Chen clan. In the list of the gate lord clan, there is no place for the "Cao clan of Qiaoxian County".

The Yingchuan Xun clan was one of the main scholar families in the Han and Jin dynasties, mainly a family of scholars and bureaucrats. Xun's marriage family basically belongs to the Gaomen family, and it is married to the royal family, stretching for two Jin, and has always maintained a kinship with the royal family. Xun's marriage status includes national marriage, identity intra-marriage, and regional marriage, and the marriage family is either the imperial noble, or the first-class scholar family at that time.

The late Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties were the most prosperous period in Chinese history. The Yingchuan Chen family started as a famous person in the late Han Dynasty and became a giant family at that time, which was passed down from generation to generation, and the name was important in the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Under the pressure of reality and ideals, Cao Cao can only represent the Hanmen.

Although his family is also very wealthy and many people are officials, in the eyes of scholars such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao is just a nouveau riche and a bun.

The clan prospered on social connections for 900 years, and eventually dissipated due to the breakdown of social networks in the changing times.

On the surface, they lost to Yellow Nest's butcher's knife.
