The Main Contents of Imperial Examination System in Sui and Tang Dynasties

Except for special subjects (such as erudition, translation, economics, etc. ), Ming Jing and Jinshi are the main subjects of the imperial examinations in Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the contents of Ming Jing and Jinshi examinations are mainly Confucian classics. Imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty can be divided into two categories, namely, nothing imperial examinations and martial imperial examinations. Imperial examinations are divided into two categories: routine subjects and institutional subjects. Regular courses are held regularly every year, and the subjects are Scholar, Ming Jing, Scholar, Scholar, Faming, Zi Ming, Shu Ming, History I, History III, Opening Ethan, Daoism, Boy Scouts and so on. Among them, six subjects are held frequently: Scholar, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Faming, Zi Ming and Shu Ming. Scholarship focuses on selecting outstanding talents with extensive knowledge, which was the highest and most difficult in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Ming Classics Department pays attention to the examination of Confucian classics, which is divided into three parts: Dajing, Zhongjing and Xiaojing, plus The Analects of Confucius and Xiaojing. Scholars attach great importance to poetry and fu, and the early Tang Dynasty followed the Sui system, which was just a trial strategy. Later, it includes three links: pasting classics, trying articles, and doing current affairs raiders. The Ministry of Justice and Law of the People's Republic of China attaches great importance to the assessment of legal knowledge and the selection of judicial talents, and has formulated seven trial laws and three orders. The Mingzi Department pays attention to the examination of writing theory and calligraphy, taking the oral test first, and then taking 20 articles, namely "Shuowen Jiezi" and "Zilin". Mingsuan Department pays attention to the assessment of arithmetic and requires detailed knowledge. The last three subjects in six subjects are specialized subjects. Although it is listed as a regular subject, it is not often held, and its position after entering the official position is difficult to compare with the first three subjects. Although the subject of scholars was the highest, it was later abolished, so the only subjects that were often held and valued by scholars were Mingjing and Jinshi.
