Historical interpretation of college entrance examination;

College entrance examination is a system for selecting new students in colleges and universities. China has a history of 1300 years, which once showed the superiority of selecting talents and deeply influenced East Asian countries. 1905, in order to develop new education and cultivate practical talents, the Qing court abolished the imperial examination system and introduced the western school examination system instead.

The establishment of the modern college entrance examination system in China has two important sources: one is the traditional examination thinking and value formed by the imperial examination system, and the other is the mode and means of the western modern examination system.

College entrance examination is the abbreviation of national unified examination for college enrollment. 1952 implemented, 1966 abolished, 1977 resumed. It is a summary of China students' academic level in senior high school for three years, and it is a relatively just, fair and open talent selection form.
