Chapter 433 Mr. Bailidang

The method of selecting talents by the imperial examination system was used even by the Xiongnu who aspired to the Central Plains even if the Song Dynasty was destroyed. The imperial examinations were suspended for 80 years.After the re-opening of the imperial examination in the second year of Emperor Renzong Yanyou, the Yuan Dynasty continued to use the three-level examination system of the Song Dynasty.

The imperial examinations in the Yuan Dynasty were very similar to those in the Song Dynasty, but at the same time it also reflected certain unique characteristics of the Yuan Dynasty. The most typical feature was the different treatment for different groups of people.

The rural examination in the Yuan Dynasty was actually the Fajie Examination in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was mainly held in various provinces, usually in August. Among them, the Xiongnu and Semu people only took two exams on the scriptures and countermeasures, and the Han people had an additional exam. One, those who pass the exam are called Juren.

After the rural examination, the 25 candidates who passed the examination went to the capital to take the general examination in February of the following year.

After the general examination, the palace examination will be held in March of the same year, and the Mongolian and Semu people will have different questions from the Han and Nan people.Different from the Song Dynasty, the palace examination after the Yuan Dynasty was no longer dismissed, but only ranked.The palace examination results are announced in two lists, left and right. Fifty Huns and Semu people are on the right list. In the Yuan Dynasty, the right is respected, and Han and Nan people are on the left list.Its purpose is naturally to protect the national privileged status of the Xiongnu and Semu people.

After Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he started the imperial examination in the third year of Hongwu. Later, he thought that the candidates who were selected were few and worthy, so he announced the suspension of the imperial examination. It was not resumed until the 15th year of Hongwu, and it was announced two years later. ), which established the imperial examination system that lasted for more than 500 years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty was divided into five levels from bottom to top.

child test.The most elementary exam, including the county exam and the prefectural exam.The county examination is held in each county and presided over by the county magistrate. It is usually held in February every year, and there are five consecutive examinations.After passing the county examination, in April, he participated in the prefectural examination presided over by officials from various prefectures, and took three consecutive examinations.Those who have passed the county and prefecture examinations can be called "Tongsheng".After passing the children's test, it shows that you have basic cultural knowledge and writing ability.

Court exam.It is usually held in the "college" of the prefecture or state, and is divided into two levels: "yearly examination" and "scientific examination".The annual examination is an "entrance" examination for children held every year. After admission, they will be "students", commonly known as "scholars".The scientific examination is an examination for scholars already in school. Only those with excellent scores can participate in the provincial examination for electors at the next level. Those with poor scores will be punished or even disqualified from being a student.As long as you pass the entrance examination, you become a scholar. Even if you leave the civilian class, you can enjoy some privileges, such as exemption from rations, exemption from service tax, and judicial privileges. You don’t have to kneel in court and so on.

Township examination.Also known as Dabi and Qiuwei, it is held every three years.There are three township examinations, on the ninth, 1000th, and 300th of August.The number of applicants enrolled in the Ming and Qing rural examinations was determined by the imperial court. The provinces ranged from dozens to hundreds of candidates according to their population. The total number of applicants admitted nationwide was 1 to [-].The rural examination can be said to be the most important and difficult stage of the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After all, after passing it, one has the qualifications to be an official.Those who pass the exam are called Juren, and Juren No.[-] is called "Jieyuan".

will try.It is usually held on the 300th to [-]th day of February of the following year after the provincial examination, and is presided over by the Ministry of Rites of the capital, so it is also called Chun Wei and Li Wei.The content of the three general examinations is the same as that of the rural examinations. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, about [-] Jinshi were admitted in each subject examination.In addition to the main list in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are generally sub-lists.Although the candidates entered in the deputy list are not regarded as Jinshi, they can be awarded school instructors or other lower-level official positions, or absorbed into the Imperial College as supervisors, and receive a certain salary from the state.

palace test.It is usually held one month after the general examination, that is, March 25th.The content of the palace examination is a test of current affairs and policy. Several types of test questions are prepared by the cabinet ministers and temporarily submitted to the emperor to delineate.In Ming and Qing palace examinations, no one was dismissed, only rankings were determined.The top three candidates, such as No. [-] Scholar, No. [-], and Tanhua, are listed as the first class, and they are regarded as Jinshi and the second;On March [-], new Jinshi and palace examination officials enjoyed the imperial "Enrong Banquet" at the Ministry of Rites.After the banquet, they entered the stage of appointing officials one after another.The three first-class Jinshi are generally awarded important positions such as editing and editing in the Imperial Academy. The rest of the Jinshi often have to go through a hall selection or imperial examination.

And why does Bailixiu only want Tongsheng who passed the first-level examination, instead of scholars, or Juren, Jinshi, who seem to have high knowledge!
Naturally, there is also a reason for Bailixiu. You must know that Tong Sheng only possesses the most basic cultural knowledge, that is, to the point where he can read and understand articles.

But he still hasn't learned the Confucian theory of sages, which is the best thing for Bai Lixiu, which means that his thoughts have not yet been finalized, and those who have not been confused by the Confucian theory, so Bai Lixiu can still instill Mohism in him.

From Bailixiu's point of view, the child's education level is at best equivalent to the level of the current primary school graduate, so the way of looking at problems can still be well transformed into Mohist thought.

Of course, Bailixiu will not be required by all children, but will take an entrance examination. Only after passing the entrance examination will Bailixiu be admitted to the Mohist Academy. At the beginning, Bailixiu only planned to Collect the children in and around Jinling City.

Of course, Bailixiu's entrance examination naturally relies on some simple mathematics and physical phenomena to observe the observation and judgment abilities of these children.

For example, a physics question in the entrance exam prepared by Bailixiu for the children, the content is as if you stand on the rearmost edge of a carriage moving at a constant speed.

Then you jump up on this carriage running at a constant speed. If you fall by yourself, will you fall on the same spot or fall off the carriage?

Of course, this is just one of them, and the rest is arithmetic, or called magic in this era.

Of course, among the arithmetic problems, there are naturally more troublesome chickens and rabbits in the same cage. We can only look at this ancient classic math problem.

But in addition to these, Bai Lixiu also asked these children if they would like to be carpenters. For example, Bai Lixiu would let each of these children sharpen one end of the stick with a knife. Although it looks very simple, but The meaning is extraordinary.

The reason why Bailixiu did this was naturally to screen out those children who thought they were inferior in everything but good at reading.

Afterwards, after three days of examination and selection, Bai Lixiu was finally quite happy to select a hundred or so students out of a thousand that satisfied her.
