Problem description:

Did the ancient science exam only test Chinese?

There are more rooms than now.

Analysis:

The contents of imperial examinations in each dynasty are different.

As far as Ming and Qing dynasties are concerned, it can basically be considered as an examination of Chinese and politics. Eight-part essay is a test of proficiency in writing and the four books and five classics, but there is a subject that seems to be called strategy theory, and it is about current affairs, just like the current political discourse topic, such as the United States hitting Iraq. Please talk about your own views.

There were several subjects in the Tang Dynasty, each with its own emphasis. The Ming Classics Department mainly examines poems and songs. Scholars have a wide range of scientific examinations, and few people take them because it is too difficult. By the middle and late Tang dynasty, it seemed to be abolished (even if it was not abolished). One subject is mathematics, which is also very difficult. Therefore, if Confucian scholars want to be an official, they usually go to the Mingjing Department.
