The imperial examination system was the choice and result of thousands of years of historical development of the feudal dynasty. Adapting to the absolute monarchy of the feudal dynasty is conducive to maintaining centralized power and imperial power, conforms to the principles and morality of Confucianism, and is based on consolidating and establishing the dominance of Confucianism, with Confucianism as the guide and main content.
The people-orientedism that conforms to Confucianism has expanded the popular base, embodied a high degree of people's nature, conformed to the ideal of a common world between the agrarian nation and the agrarian civilization, greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the broad masses of the people, embodied the nature of open competition, and enabled the broad masses of the people to share political rights.
Whether it is a poor family or a poor people, as long as they have the ability to learn, they can take the imperial examination, be hired, be awarded official positions, and enter the political ruling clique. In history, there were many ordinary people, and disciples of the cold sect passed the imperial examination and were elected officials and entered the highest level of officials.
Many Confucian bachelors passed the academy examination, township examination, meeting examination, and temple examination, from child to show talent to lifting people to pay tribute shi, and finally became jinshi and were selected for the Hanlin Academy. During the Ming Dynasty, non-jinshi did not enter Hanlin, non-hanlin did not enter the cabinet, and jinshi became a human resource reserve channel for senior officials.
Most of the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty were born in Jinshi. During the Song Dynasty, Jin Shi was directly appointed as an official. The imperial examination became the main channel for education and the selection of officials. The emperor personally participated in the organization of the imperial examination, directly selected the Yellow List of Jin Shi, directly controlled the appointment and selection of officials, and finally selected talents with excellent results to enter the emperor's talent and official reserve after 4 levels of selection, and was open, fair, fair and transparent, with a complete system and procedures.
The great affairs of the country and the great affairs of the world completely overcome the limitations of the emperor and the ruling class in selecting officials and officials, and select talents in the whole world for the emperor's use.
The people of the world have also realized the ideal of learning and excelling, and have been recognized and respected from top to bottom, and have achieved common goals by following the people's wishes and public opinions. Home for the world, the world for the family has been implemented. The imperial examination system has withstood the test of history, gradually improved, and smoothly implemented, lasting for more than 1,000 years.
