Extended data:
Civil service positions are divided into two major sequences: central and local. The examination of central sequential positions is called "national examination", and the examination of local sequential positions is called "provincial examination".
In terms of preparation and welfare, the national examination belongs to the sequence of national civil servants, while the provincial examination belongs to the local sequence. Central and local civil servants are managed in accordance with unified laws, systems and wage systems, but the specific wage standards vary according to industry categories, regions and levels.
