There are four procedures for imperial examinations in Ming and Qing Dynasties:
The first is the "children's test". Children's test is a preparatory test, that is, a pretest. Candidates, regardless of age, are called "Tong Sheng" or "Confucians". Boys and girls first take exams at local state and county levels, and states and county heads take exams.
