From which dynasty did the imperial examination system arise and officially use?

The imperial examination germinated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the imperial examination really took shape in the Tang Dynasty.

In the fourth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (621), the edict "Zhuzhou scholars have the Ming Jing and Xiucai, Junshi, and Jinshi as early as possible, and those who are known in the township shall be appointed to the county examination, and the governor shall repeat it, take it if it is qualified, and pay tribute with the matter in October every year", and put forward the regular period of going to the imperial court to take the examination "in October every year", and clarified the method of the state and county local preliminary examination, which is equivalent to the "township examination" in later generations, and it is not necessary to be recommended by the government like the Sui Dynasty. In the fifth year of Wude (622), the edict of the Tang Dynasty made it clear that scholars could "throw themselves into the saucer", and those who could not get the recommendation of the lower-class Han scholars "also listened to the self-lifting", and "purified themselves to ascend to the court, without suspicion of self-advancement" Since then, the system of "self-lifting" and "self-advancement" of scholars has been formalized. The edict of the fifth year of Tang Gaozu Wude (622) marked the birth of the imperial examination system, which was characterized by self-examination.

The imperial examination lasted for more than 1,200 years from its inception to the holding of the last Jinshi examination 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 system are held on a regular basis. 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).

The imperial examination is usually divided into the local township examination, the provincial examination and the palace examination. The first place in the township test is "Xie Yuan", the first place in the provincial test is "Provincial Yuan", and the first place in the palace test is "Champion".

The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty had a variety of subjects such as Xiucai, Ming Jing, Junshi, Jinshi, Ming Law (Law), Ming Characters, Ming Arithmetic (Mathematics), etc., and the content of the examination was Shi Shi Xue, Ti Jing, and Essays. The imperial examination of the dynasty has Jinshi, Ming Jing subjects, the content of the examination has the scriptures, Moyi and poetry, Wang Anshi served as the governor of the government, canceled the poems, scriptures, Moyi, and specialized in the scriptures, theories, and strategies.
