The imperial examination is to select officials through examinations. It is called imperial examination because it adopts the method of selecting scholars by subjects. It has three remarkable characteristics: the examination by subject, the right of scholars belongs to the central government, allowing free application (that is, "self-recommendation by counties", which is different from "recommendation by others" in the inspection system) and the choice based on achievements. The imperial examination system was implemented in the first year of the great cause of Sui Dynasty (605), which lasted for 1300 years until the last Jinshi examination was held in the thirty-first year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1905).

The imperial examination is a system of selecting civil and military officials and reserve personnel through examinations in the feudal dynasty from Sui and Tang Dynasties to Qing Dynasty after more than 1,300 years. Before the Sui Dynasty, the official selection system of Jiupin Zhengzhong made it impossible for ordinary people from poor backgrounds to enter the official career. The Sui Dynasty began to change to the imperial examination system, so that any participant had the opportunity to become an official. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial examination became rigid and was called stereotyped writing for selecting scholars, which was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty and early 20th century.
