The imperial examination system in ancient China.

It first originated in the Sui Dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, in order to adapt to the development and changes of feudal economic and political relations, in order to expand the requirements of the feudal ruling class to participate in political power, the centralization of power was strengthened.

Therefore, the power to select officials was taken into account, and the imperial examination system was used to replace the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

In the third year of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty (607), the Jinshi Department was opened, and the Jinshi was selected by examination methods.

1. The imperial examination system began in 621 AD. The imperial examination has lasted for more than 1,200 years from its inception to the last Jinshi examination held in the 31st year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1905) (the last imperial examination in the world ended in the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam in 1919). The main examinations of the imperial examination system were held at regular intervals.

The imperial examination was held once a year in the Tang Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty, and the imperial examination was held every year or two years during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, and the imperial examination was held every three years in the third year of the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Song Dynasty (1066).

2. The imperial examination system is the fairest form of talent selection that can be adopted in the feudal era, which expands the social level of the feudal state to introduce talents, and absorbs a large number of people from the middle and lower classes into the ruling class. Especially in the Tang and Song dynasties, at the beginning of the imperial examination system, it showed vigorous progressiveness and formed a leading era in the development of ancient Chinese culture.

The imperial examination system began in the Sui Dynasty.

China's imperial examination system originated in the Sui Dynasty and was created during the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang. The Sui Dynasty existed for a very short time, but its political, economic and cultural contributions cannot be ignored, and it was a transitional period for China's feudal society to reunite and achieve unprecedented prosperity, creating very favorable conditions for the arrival of the heyday of ancient China.

After the Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, it abolished the nine-grade Zhongzheng system and the Piju system, and the selection of scholars did not need the recommendation of the state and county, nor did they go through the evaluation of the Zhongzheng, but were screened and selected by the imperial court by the method of public examination, and the examination was carried out by subject. The imperial examination does not take into account the rank of the candidates, all are equal, and the country is selected according to the examination results, which marks the birth of the imperial examination system.

After the Tang Dynasty overthrew the rule of the Sui Dynasty, it did not completely negate some of the Sui Dynasty's measures that were beneficial to the country's development. Starting from Tang Taizu, whether it is in terms of cultural education, Mengsen Tanyu, or in the selection system of talent selection, it has well inherited the excellent system of the Sui Dynasty. In the fifth year of Gaozu Wude (622), the first imperial examination since the founding of the Tang Dynasty was held.

During the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian and Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was further supplemented and developed, so that the imperial examination system became a relatively complete talent selection system, and the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty became the most representative official selection system in China's feudal society, and the imperial examination system of all dynasties was inherited and developed on the basis of the imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty.

The demise of the imperial examination system

The late Qing dynasty ruled corrupt and politically turbulent; The Taiping Rebellion, the British and French forces entered Beijing, the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, the Wuxu Rebellion, and the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance. Great changes have taken place in society, politics, economy, ideology, and culture.

In the face of the tide of the development of the times, the backwardness and decay of the imperial examination system are becoming more and more obvious. The "letter on the bus" publicly denounced the Eight Shares and demanded the abolition of the imperial examination. The feudal officials jointly petitioned to abolish the imperial examination, and the death of the imperial examination was an inevitable spring uproar in the historical process.
