The difference between the title on the gold list and the rank on the examination lies in their different meanings and origins. The title of "Jinbang" refers to ranking first in the imperial examination, while the "pass" refers to passing the imperial examination and obtaining the top three good results in the imperial examination. In addition, the titles on the gold list can also be used to describe outstanding talents in a certain field, while passing the exam emphasizes an individual's outstanding performance in the imperial examination. Generally speaking, they are both words used to describe examination results, but the title of the gold list emphasizes more the honor of being among the best, while the title of the imperial examination emphasizes more the individual's excellent performance in the imperial examination.
