Before the modern West learned from China’s imperial bet365 champions league system to establish a civil service system,The imperial bet365 champions league system is the most advanced system for selecting talents in the world。It has a profound impact on Chinese society and even the world,is determined by its multiple functions,The specific performance is as follows。
Select bet365 champions league and stabilize society
The imperial bet365 champions league not only negated the influence of blood and nepotism on the selection of talents in the system,And in the implementation, the selection of talents has been generally objective and fair。In particular, the system and admission procedures to prevent and punish cheating are becoming increasingly strict;The Ming Dynasty established the rural bet365 champions league、Group oath system for examiners and deacons,If the oath is not done impartially,Willing to be punished by heaven,The "eight-legged" literary style was also formed,And require examiners to write comments on each answer sheet according to unified standards;Forty years of Wanli (1612),The Ming court even stipulated that "failed papers" should be returned to candidates,The confidence comes from the pertinence and fairness of the examiner’s comments。
Talents selected by the imperial bet365 champions league must be appointed as officials,Therefore, the corresponding relationship between the level of fame and the level of primary official positions is also constantly strengthening: the Song Dynasty was initially formed,Stabilization of the Yuan Dynasty,The imperial bet365 champions league system in the Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly complete,From Juren to Number One Scholar, there are roughly corresponding ranges of initial official positions,The Qing Dynasty followed the Ming system。This has significantly improved the fairness of official selection,It also greatly increased the appeal of the imperial bet365 champions league。
The imperial bet365 champions league stabilizes society mainly in two aspects。On the one hand,The imperial bet365 champions league promoted positive social mobility。Since the imperial bet365 champions league is open、Objective、The Advantage of Justice,The system ensures that lower-class civilians can rise to the top through the imperial bet365 champions league,Those at the upper levels can also use the imperial bet365 champions league to maintain their existing superior status,Thus greatly enhancing the cohesion of all classes。Like Yuan Zai of Tang Dynasty、Niu Sengru and other common people's scholars were promoted to prime minister by passing the Jinshi bet365 champions league,In the Song Dynasty, it was more common for poor scholars to be promoted to high-level officials through the imperial bet365 champions league,Ru Ouyang Xiu、Fan Zhongyan and others are all from civilian backgrounds,So "the court is the farmhouse man",Mudeng Tianzitang” is widely circulated。The author counted 16,141 Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty,Those who were born into “the last three generations of pure civilian families”,43 of the total.34%,58 of the total are from families with no official positions in the last three generations.65%。Although social mobility caused by the imperial bet365 champions league slowed down in the Qing Dynasty,But ordinary people and almost all scholars still regard the imperial bet365 champions league as the main and best channel to achieve social status,For example, Cai Yuanpei became a Jinshi in the eighteenth year of Guangxu (1892),Awarded to the Hanlin Academy as a scholar;Another example is what Jiang Menglin said in his autobiography: "In my childish mind,Fantasy about becoming more and more arrogant day by day,Rising in fame and fame,Winning the Scholarship and then the Juren,Won the imperial bet365 champions league and then Jinshi,Finally one day I became a very big official。”Also,Hou Jin in the late Ming Dynasty、Dashun、Daxi, the Southern Ming Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty all opened schools to recruit scholars,It can be seen that the imperial bet365 champions league is very important in establishing the orthodox image of the regime、The irreplaceable role of winning over and calming people’s hearts。
On the other hand,Each dynasty has continuously improved its policy of preferential treatment of fallen scholars。In the Song Dynasty, the imperial bet365 champions league was officially announced as a Jinshi、Besides "Zhuke",Implement preferential care policies for those older scholars who have failed repeatedly and are older,Give him the title of "Jinshi" for his special performance、Zhuke”fame。A total of Jinshi were admitted in the imperial examinations of the two Song Dynasties、About 110,000 people in various disciplines,Among them, there are more than 50,000 "special performers"。Although only 24,586 Jinshi were admitted in the Ming Dynasty,Juren who did not pass the Jinshi bet365 champions league also began to have a lifelong honor second only to the Jinshi,Has the qualification to continuously participate in the bet365 champions league and official selection,Total more than 80,000 people。And,Test takers and losers in the provincial bet365 champions league——Prefecture、State、County student member has also become the lowest level of merit,There are not only the uniforms for students ordered by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty,And "save the second daughter of his family from having to work as a corvee",Lin students can also enjoy free meals in government schools,The Qing Dynasty also followed the Ming system。Passed the meeting test、The "full coverage" preferential care system for those who failed the rural bet365 champions league,Making him change from a failure in the imperial bet365 champions league to a lifelong holder of the corresponding merit,Form a community of interests with the imperial court,And create a gentry class that connects the court and the people at the bottom,Become a broad and solid foundation for the imperial court to consolidate and strengthen its rule over local society。
Promote cultural bet365 champions league in remote and backward areas
"In the imperial bet365 champions league, "Cheng Wen is the basis for whether to go or stay",Of course it is the fundamental principle of fair talent selection,But if you absolutely stick to it,It will also put scholars in remote and culturally backward areas at a disadvantage in the bet365 champions league or even be eliminated,This is obviously detrimental to consolidating the central government’s rule over these areas。So since the Song Dynasty,The dynasties of all dynasties have given preferential treatment to the scholars in these areas during the imperial examinations,Like "After the Philosophy Temple" in the Song Dynasty,Establish the five-way system of Qilu River and Shuo,Everyone from the north should not take the exam,Then take people from the north to the south and start to equalize them”。The Yuan Dynasty implemented a system of recruiting scholars that combined four classes of people with regional quotas,It is stipulated that each of the 17 regions that hold provincial examinations in the country will admit candidates to the conference bet365 champions league according to a quota,Among them Mongolia、色目、Han Chinese、75 Southerners each,100 people admitted to the general bet365 champions league,The fourth class each accounts for 25 people。Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty began to conduct rural examinations based on quotas、According to the proportional admission system for the North and South examinations。The Qing Dynasty further implemented the rural bet365 champions league、All examinations are subject to the provincial quota admission system。
From this,The imperial bet365 champions league not only promoted the development of culture in remote and backward areas,And it significantly improved the cohesion of the imperial court。
Inject bet365 champions league the development of cultural customs
The imperial bet365 champions league is like a powerful engine,Continuously transport and popularize traditional Chinese culture with Confucianism as the main body to the southeast、Lingnan、Southwest、Northeast and other border areas,It is of great significance in promoting Confucian culture to become the mainstream culture in the country。
First,The imperial bet365 champions league greatly enriched the Chinese vocabulary。For example, "title on the gold list", "win in the toad palace", etc. all refer to passing the imperial bet365 champions league or becoming a Jinshi;“Dakui world” “dominating the world” refers to the number one scholar,Later generally refers to ranking first or being in the first place;"Wind eaves and sundial" refers to seizing every inch of time (answering questions) under the broken eaves (bet365 champions league room) that does not block the wind and rain,Describe the tense state of the imperial bet365 champions league;“Making a big deal out of a molehill” means turning a small topic into a big article;Also,"Unprecedented", "Famous in Sun Mountain", "Five Sons Enrolled",Even terms such as "five leaders" in the drinking order are products of the imperial bet365 champions league。
Secondly,The imperial bet365 champions league provides rich materials for the creation of literary works。For example, Feng Menglong's "Three Words" in the late Ming Dynasty、Ling Mengchu’s “Second Beat”,Literary works such as "The Scholars" written by Wu Jingzi in the Qing Dynasty have a lot of content describing the imperial bet365 champions league。
Finally,Social customs after the Tang and Song Dynasties also reflected the influence of the imperial bet365 champions league。Such as promoting the atmosphere of learning and encouraging filial piety in the whole society、Encouraging kindness, etc.,Another example is "When a scholar ascends to the throne, he must have a feast,It’s called ‘burning tail’”,Another example is the construction of "Wenfeng Pagoda" and "Wenchang Pavilion" in many places to revitalize the cultural movement and to pay homage to Emperor Wenchang,Building imperial bet365 champions league archways and title monuments to highlight fame and glory,All have injected new content into the development of social customs。
In addition,To support the normal holding of the imperial bet365 champions league and the preparation and attendance of scholars across the country,Official finance and good people from all walks of life and their families、The family has invested a lot of financial resources、Material resources,The continuous expansion of the scale of the imperial bet365 champions league has promoted papermaking、Books、Coaching、Report、Transportation、Hotel、Catering、The development of entertainment and other industries,The formation of a distinctive and widely influential "imperial bet365 champions league economy",And became an indispensable part of the economic form and economic operation at that time。
In short,The multiple functions of the imperial bet365 champions league make it a connecting monarch、Bureaucrat、Gentleman、People、Politics、Education、Economy、Joint points in different regions and various aspects of society。Although the imperial bet365 champions league became increasingly rigid in the Qing Dynasty,bet365 champions league content is outdated,The selected talents cannot meet the urgent needs of enriching the country and strengthening the military,But its function as a "joint point" connecting all parties has not changed,The characteristics of objectivity and fairness in selecting talents are generally maintained。The reformists in the late Qing Dynasty saw the side effects of its rigidity,Abolition in 1905 in order to promote new learning。The abolition of the imperial bet365 champions league led to the disintegration of all parties that were originally united by it,The Qing court was overthrown,It has nothing to do with the loss of the basis of rule。Liang Qichao, who had previously fiercely criticized the imperial bet365 champions league, is traveling in Europe and the United States,After witnessing the effectiveness of the Western civil service bet365 champions league system transformed from the imperial bet365 champions league system in Western countries,I also quickly realized that the imperial bet365 champions league "realized a great invention of our ancestors thousands of years ago",And pointed out that “the creation of this method is also great in our country!People just pick up my spit and boast about themselves,I punish the evildoers of the poor,Abandoned food due to choking,This is so unwise!I therefore said boldly: Just resume the imperial bet365 champions league!"This is a definite theory。Of course,Liang Qichao, who adheres to the theory of historical evolution and understands the shortcomings of the imperial bet365 champions league, calls for the "resumption of the imperial bet365 champions league",When referring to the basic principles and rules of restoring the imperial bet365 champions league and recruiting talents objectively and fairly through strict examinations,Instead of restoring the abolished imperial bet365 champions league system。
