The emergence of Chinese imperial examination system is a historical necessity and a great progress. Always adhere to the principle of "free registration, open examination, equal competition and merit-based employment". It is a direct and powerful substitute and negation for the ancient official selection system in China, especially for the inspection system in Han Dynasty and the nine-product system in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and provides a platform for the majority of small and medium-sized landlords and ordinary people to enter the official position through the imperial examination. Therefore, the imperial examination system is the most groundbreaking equality system in the history of China and even the world.
In the long imperial examination of 1300 years, there were more than 700 champions, nearly 1 10000 Jinshi, with millions of people (even more Jinshi). After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, almost every intellectual had an indissoluble bond and close relationship with the imperial examination, and only a few had never participated in the examination. In the history of China, most famous ministers, celebrities, politicians, thinkers, writers, artists, scientists, diplomats and military strategists who are good at maintaining public order and making outstanding contributions come from top scholars, literati and juren.
/kloc-the imperial examination system in 0/300 years occupied almost three-fifths of China's feudal society of more than two thousand years and nearly one-third of China's civilization history of five thousand years. It has a long history and great influence, which is well known to women and children. It has played a great role in the reunification of the motherland, social stability, unity and integration of all ethnic groups, the spread and construction of Chinese civilization, especially the promotion and development of Confucian culture and ancient education. China's imperial examination system spread from the East to the West after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and Vietnam, Japan, South Korea and North Korea all followed China's example for a long time in their own countries. The political system of selecting officials in France, the United States, Britain and other countries is also directly influenced by the Chinese imperial examination system. Western modern civil servant selection system, China modern education system and cadre selection system are the inheritance and development of Chinese imperial examination system. Therefore, Dr. Sun Yat-sen fully affirmed that China's imperial examination system "is the oldest and best system used by all countries in the world to select real talents" (five-power constitution). Westerners call China's imperial examination system "the fifth great invention of China" (five-power constitution). Westerners call China's imperial examination system "the fifth invention of China". This is undoubtedly a great contribution to the Chinese nation and all mankind.
