Many people think that when modern people step into the door of university education, they have already stepped into the door of ancient scholars. Modern university education is only the threshold of modern higher education, and it cannot be called an intellectual before the completion of higher education.
Different from the ancient imperial examination system, the modern education system widely includes primary, secondary and higher education, as well as vocational training. All levels have different degrees, such as academic qualifications, diplomas and certificates, and relevant academic qualifications have also become an important basis for people to evaluate their educational achievements.
First of all, the title of "Jinshi" and "Jinshi" represents the spiritual and cultural level of ancient scholars in China, which is equivalent to talents with a master's degree or above. However, due to the differences in educational standards, methods of obtaining qualifications and social values, we cannot simply compare them. Ancient scholars have been admitted to two top universities and completed higher education. Therefore, two or even some books in modern specialties are not as good as ancient scholars.
The social status of scholars;
Scholar is the name of some scholar-officials in ancient China. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it generally refers to the students who passed the intermediate examination of the imperial examination, belonging to the most basic level of literati. In China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, literati was one of the pillars of local gentry. In the local village, they represent literati who know books and manners.
Because they have all the privileges before local officials, they often act as communication channels between ordinary people and the government. Once there is a local dispute, or civilians have to deal with officials, they often have to pass the scholar. When there is a wedding or funeral at home, or during the Chinese New Year holiday, the people will also ask the village scholars to help write couplets and sacrificial accounts.
