What kind of academic qualifications does the ancient "show talent" belong to in modern times? You may not believe it!
In ancient times, there were also examinations, which are the so-called examinations. But this was only in the Sui Dynasty, before it was the recommendation system of the family clan, but this system would hinder the imperial power and make the emperor very annoying, so after the founding of the Sui Dynasty, this Wen Emperor began the imperial examination system. However, during the Sui Dynasty, this system was still very simple, and it was only in the Tang Dynasty that it was able to have a system of complete rules.
It is also from the beginning of the imperial examination that the children of poor families can also take this road to go straight to the clouds and no longer let the children of the family dominate the official field. In the TV series, everyone can also see that many children from poor families have been admitted to the show because of the examination, and they are even very proud of themselves, and they also have a stage where they can realize their political ideals. But what was easy to watch on TV was actually tough in those days. Underdeveloped transportation, expensive books and pens, and remote examination locations have made it impossible for children from poor families to realize their dreams of becoming officials.
However, the initial exams such as Tong Sheng and Xiu Cai are still not far from home. Tong Sheng is very good at taking the exam, and although Xiucai is a little difficult, as long as he is admitted, he can also be exempted from taxation, which is different from the civilians. Many modern people are a little curious about the name xiucai, and want to know which level or what kind of education is compared to the current education system. Many people think that it should be the level of college students, in fact, they really think too much, although it is very difficult to read in ancient times, but it is unrealistic to mention so high.
From the beginning of literacy, the first test is the child test, this does not mean that only children can take the test, as long as any age is enlightened, it can be tested, all dozens of years old people to test the child test, and this is the primary school level test. After the tongsheng has passed the exam, it means that you are a real reader, you can add to the township test, and this is the first exam to become an official, and the pass is xiucai. In feudal society, the test can be exempted from taxation, representing a preferential treatment of the state to you. Therefore, this show should correspond to the level of junior high school education.
After xiucai, the lifting of people is the real entrance examination to the official field, and the examination is an alternative official, and many people will no longer have difficulty in fighting for the top three positions for themselves and the readers of the whole country at this step, because this person can already become an official. However, those who have the ambition will still run to the capital to take the exam for the last time, trying to see if they can get the title of Duke of Yuan. This title is the most honorable for college students, who can enter the Hanlin Academy. Even if they are old, many of them are willing to recruit their sons-in-law at home, so the imperial examination will be the dream of so many readers in ancient times, the dream of Qingyun straight up. And the show is the basis of everything, only if you are admitted to the name of this similar junior high school student, there will be the possibility of glory and wealth in the back.
