The imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty was basically the system inherited from the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, in compliance with the development of the dynasty and in view of the shortcomings of the imperial examinations of the previous dynasties, all aspects of the imperial examination system were further improved and reformed. Among them, the following ones had a profound impact on poor students and later generations of imperial examinations.

: First, the selection of scholars does not depend on family background; second, the examination regulations are strict; and third, the selection of scholars is lenient.

In the Song Dynasty, all children of scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants, regardless of whether they were from the east, west, south or north, were eligible to take the scientific examination.

In order to get rid of the shortcoming of "most of the scientific names are taken by powerful people", the ranking and official position in the imperial examination are

The number was greatly reduced to suppress the children of powerful families. Among the Northern Song Dynasty characters in the biographies of the Northern Song Dynasty, only about a quarter came from high-ranking official families, while more than one-half came from commoners. And as time goes by,

In the evolution of history, the later the era, the higher the proportion of civilians. Taking the statistics of Zaifu’s origins, the situation is generally similar.

"Only the name anonymity is fair, and Guhan should seek it from it." The name anonymity in the poem means to seal the name, place of birth, etc. on the candidate's examination paper, so it is also called sealing or sealing. In view of the fact that after the name is anonymized,

You can also recognize handwriting and code words, and later copy the examinee's test paper separately. In this way, the examiner who marks the test paper will not be able to identify which candidate's test paper it is. In addition to confusing the name, the reputation

In addition to admissions, the Song Dynasty also had a lock-in system (isolating examiners during the examination period), lock-in examinations (candidates who have become officials), special examinations (avoiding the children of the family who have no salary and the children and relatives of the examiner), etc.

Strict examination regulations and systems. At the same time, the public recommendation and public examination system that was prevalent in the Tang Dynasty and the early Song Dynasty was abolished, creating a relatively fair and just examination environment for children from poor families on the road to becoming officials through the imperial examination.

The Song Dynasty was also the dynasty with the largest number of scholars in the history of the imperial examination. In addition, candidates who passed the imperial examination did not need to pass the civil service examination and were directly awarded a certain official rank. The promotion mechanism was relatively complete and the official career was prominent. According to historical records, "Renzong had three rankings out of ten in his dynasty."

on it

Of the three people, nine out of thirty, those who are not ministers are just five people." The general idea is that during Renzong's reign, there were 13 examinations, and the top three among them were counted, and there were thirty-nine people in total.

Among these people, there are only five people who have not been promoted to the status of public officials.

"Advocating literature and suppressing martial arts" was a national policy formulated in the early Song Dynasty to prevent the dangers of emphasizing military force and neglecting literature since the late Tang and Five Dynasties. Later, it became an important content of the "ancestral family law" of Zhao and Song Dynasties, which runs throughout

.In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations were used to select scholars, and scholars were treated favorably, and those who came from the imperial examinations were especially

Young scholars from poor families also take the world as their own responsibility and rule the world together with the emperor. Fan Zhongyan's "Be worried about the world's worries first, and then be happy after the world's happiness". Mr. Hengqu Zhang Zai's "Establish a heart for the world and live for the world."

The people establish their destiny, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations." These are all born from this.

Everything went as usual since Li Zhan entered the examination room. He was not nervous at all, his mind was calm, his thoughts were flowing, everything was calm, and there were no accidents. After all, this is a major event for the country to select talents. Anyone who dares to make trouble might not feel that the head on his neck is being treated too much.

At ease.

Although the three days were difficult, it was mainly because he could only stay in the same small place to eat and use the toilet. Of course, there was no need to mention the smell. Anyway, Li Zhan didn't want to recall that painful experience. When the door of the examination room opened,

At that moment, I rushed out of the examination room, not wanting to stay any longer.

Li Zhan returned to Sheng Mansion and slept hard for a whole day. He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning the next day. After lunch, he went to a martial arts training ground built by Mrs. Sheng for him.

It is said to be a martial arts training ground. In fact, it means leaving an open space in the backyard of the mansion. It was leveled out, compacted with stone piers, and several arrow targets and wooden stakes were erected. It didn't cost a few coins. Sheng Hong saw that

It was for the sake of the old lady's face, so she didn't have any objections. However, boss Lin Sushuang was not happy because the land was originally her flower land, but Old Madam Sheng ordered people to shovel it all away. This matter made Wang Ruofu happy.

I am very happy and feel a little closer to Li Zhan. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Li Zhan was wearing a strong suit, holding a big iron gun, his waist and legs were united, and he kept stepping forward. The big gun in his hand danced, and the shadows of the gun were colorful. Between the shaking of the gun and the flower, there was a cold front, which made people frightened. Li Zhan repeatedly

Stepping forward, the big gun in his hand kept thrusting forward. The speed of the gun was astonishing, making a whining sound in the air. The head of the gun kept piercing the wooden pile, and the head of the gun pierced the wooden pile. If it pierced a person,

It was definitely life and death. In the blink of an eye, the wooden pile became riddled with holes and sawdust flew everywhere. Li Zhan pulled out the gun tip and struck the wooden pile with a single blow. It was buried half a foot deep in the ground.

The wooden stake was cut directly across the wooden stake, and the strength was simply inhuman.

Li Zhan's whole body was shaken, the long muscles in his body were shaking constantly, the pores all over his body were wide open, and countless beads of sweat came out, with a faint hint of dark blood. Li Zhan thrust the big gun into the ground and slowly exhaled.

, exhaling into an arrow, with a smile on Jun's face, he has made another breakthrough in the Yijin Bone Forging. He has just completed the fifth Yijin Bone Forging. If he steps into the marrow cleansing at this time, he will be enough to become a peerless warrior.

Li Zhan picked up the towel he put on another wooden stake and wiped the sweat on his face. He had broken through today and the blood in his body was somewhat depleted. He needed to replenish it. He was not suitable for continuing to exercise, so he was going to go back and use it.

Eat a good meal and make up for it.

Logically speaking, Li Zhan should be accompanied by a maid to serve him, but in order to train Li Zhan, Mrs. Sheng did not make any arrangements for Li Zhan. Li Zhan didn't care and was happy to be quiet and comfortable.

In the following days of waiting for the results to be released, Li Zhan was consolidating his martial arts skills every day, practicing in the morning and evening. Most of the rest of the time was spent reviewing books and practicing examination skills. He was very confident in himself and would definitely be able to become a high school candidate.

At most, it is just a matter of ranking, so he is not worried. What he is busy with now is to prepare for next year's provincial examination, strive for a title on the gold list, and participate in the palace examination. This will be regarded as fulfilling his father's last wish and becoming the lintel. By then, Li

Zhan can also move out of Shengfu and start his own household without relying on others.

The exam results were released in September. Most of the people selected were Yin and Chen, because Chen belongs to the dragon and Yin belongs to the tiger, so they take the meaning of the dragon and tiger list. Because it is autumn and the osmanthus is in full bloom, it is also called the osmanthus list.

On this day, Li Zhan did not go to see the list in person. Mrs. Sheng had already sent a servant to guard the list, waiting for the good news.
