China's five-thousand-year history, there are many systems that are admired at home and abroad, especially the ancient Chinese culture often makes the world admire, they marvel at the wisdom of the Chinese nation, what is more rare is that the history of Chinese civilization has not been interrupted, continued for thousands of years, some methods are still used by countries in the world, today Xiaobian is a system of ancient times, this system is ahead of the world for nearly two thousand years, to modern times, some countries have completely solved this problem. Then this system is China's system of selecting and selecting officials.
As we all know, the selection of officials in ancient times has always been an important issue, which is related to whether the state power can be better developed, the earliest selection system is roughly divided into two kinds, the first is the blood system, that is, after their death, their immediate relatives inherit their titles and official positions, which is a common phenomenon, the second is military merit, ancient wars and disputes, who can make military achievements in the war to give promotion, crown the king and worship the prime, these two systems have great drawbacks, blood system is easy to cause monopoly, As a result, capable people have no chance, and military merit must have a good time, after all, not every dynasty must have a war to fight, so how was our country solved in ancient times?
As far back as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the rulers at that time put forward the idea of a fair sage living in it, but only such a practice, there is no specific system, after the Han Dynasty, there are specific rules and regulations that are the inspection system, the local government recommends talented people to the central government every year, the central government is qualified after the assessment, and many talents have to work for the country. In the Wei and Jin dynasties, it was replaced by the Nine Pins Zhongzheng system, which divided the ranks according to certain criteria and awarded corresponding official positions, but deviated from the original intention, and finally this system was controlled by some families, almost forming a monopoly.
Sui Dynasty period of the imperial examination system has a qualitative change, began to abolish the nine-pin zhongzheng system, officially launched the examination system, popular point is what we now say about the examination, the capable can rely on excellent results have the opportunity to become an official, which is basically the same as the modern examination system, according to historical records, such a examination system is more than 1,000 years ahead of the West, Europeans have been hereditary system, after learning of the Sui Dynasty's examination system after successive praise.
The Sui Dynasty's examination system can be said to have gathered all the talented and powerful people at that time to the central government, and at the same time, it could also play a fair opportunity, so that everyone had channels to get ahead. Therefore, the examination system has led the whole world, looking at the whole world, the entire Western countries have always adopted the blood system, their identity is doomed from birth, and only in China's history there is such a standardized election system, and it is very perfect, so that the world claps and praises.
