2. Candidates come from different sources:
There was no paste name system for the imperial examination papers in the Tang Dynasty, and admission was not entirely based on the test scores. Candidates' usual prestige, family political status and recommendations from all sides are all playing a role. Because of this, there has been a lot of corruption, and the branch of Jinshi is basically monopolized by aristocratic families.
