The first level is the college entrance examination.
A scholar must pass the county examination presided over by the county magistrate and the government examination presided over by the magistrate to obtain the status of a boy. Only when they have the identity of boys can they qualify for the official imperial examinations.
The name Tong Sheng sounds like a child. Many scholars stop at this level and are not admitted to school. Instead, they are ridiculed as old Tong Sheng. For example, Hong Xiuquan is a old boys who has tried many times. With the identity of a boy, you can take the college entrance examination for Jinshi, which is held in provincial capitals, and those who pass it are called Jinshi.
The next level of examination is conducted after obtaining the township examination.
Only once every three years, usually in August, the province has a problem and there is a quota limit. Those who pass this level of examination are called Juren, and the first place is called "Xie Yuan".
Because most provincial exams are held in August, they are also called autumn exams and autumn exams. The exam is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days. All three links need to enter the examination room one day in advance, that is, the eighth, eleventh and fourteenth days, and the day after the exam.
The third level exam is an oral exam.
The examination was held in the second year after obtaining the provincial examination (the provincial examination is also held once every three years, that is, in the first-level examination before the exam), that is, in the spring of the four years of Ugly, Chen, Wei and Qi, it was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor appointed the president and vice president. Supervisors from all provinces and imperial academy can take the exam. Also known as "Li Wei" and "Chunwei", there are three exams, each lasting three days.
The last level is the court exam.
Palace examination only handed in his papers for one day, and at dusk, he was put into storage by officials such as Juan, Li and Yang. If you want to be a scholar, you must pass the court exam. The examination method is that the emperor asks questions and the candidates answer them. The content is mainly policy issues. Emperors and ministers will rank candidates according to their performance. * * * has three grades:
As we all know, there are only three people in armor, namely, Jinshi Ji, No.1 Scholar, No.2 Scholar and Flower Exploration.
A group of people are called Jin Jinshi.
There are several people in the top three. They are called Tong Tong Jinshi. The first place in palace examination is the "No.1 scholar".
Lianzhong Sanyuan: that is, Xie Yuan, Huiyuan and Champion are all in one. It is the first in the provincial examination, the first in the public examination, and the first in the palace examination (the first in the provincial examination, then the first in the national examination, and finally the palace examination is also the first in the emperor's mind).
Since the imperial examination in Sui and Tang Dynasties, only fourteen people have won this honor, namely, two in Tang Dynasty, six in Song Dynasty, one in Jin Dynasty, one in Yuan Dynasty, two in Ming Dynasty and two in Qing Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, two people won the third prize in a row, one was (Lu) and the other was. Many data record that only one person won the third prize in the Ming Dynasty, which is wrong. During the Hongwu period, Anhui native Huang Guan won the third prize. When Yongle was in trouble, Huang Guan was jealous of Yongle, so his name was crossed out from the record of entering the university and changed to Han Kezhong as his name. Therefore, in most historical records, the triple prize does not have Huang Guan's name.
What exactly is the imperial examination?
Originated in Han Dynasty, founded in Sui Dynasty, established in Tang Dynasty, completed in Song Dynasty and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties, which lasted 1300 years!
1, the arduous and long "road to Beijing to catch the exam"
At that time, the ancients had to be qualified to "catch the exam" in Beijing. In ancient times, candidates with inconvenient transportation and good family conditions were accompanied by boats and bookboys. It takes months or even half a year to walk to Beijing to take the exam in poor conditions.
2. The examination environment is not good.
The building is too narrow to stretch. An exam in Ming and Qing dynasties takes two or three days, and food and accommodation are all in it. You can't go in and out of the examination room at will except to go to the toilet. Thinking about it is also suffering!
3, the rate is ridiculously low.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were about 65,438+06-65,438+08,000 candidates who took the rural examination every time, but only 5,000-6,000 candidates were admitted. Calculate this admission rate, only about 3%! In modern times, our college entrance examination admission rate has reached 75%, 25 times that of ancient times!
Compared with today's college entrance examination, I am so happy! Although we can't measure anything before with our present vision and moral standards, the perseverance of the ancients is worth learning.
