Imperial examination existed in the Tang Dynasty, and it didn't become a custom until the early Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wudi of the Tang Dynasty, the people who tried to lift the tribute stood in front of the temple, and the governor played the form, and the person with the highest ranking was placed in front, so it was called the champion, also known as the champion. Since the Song Dynasty, the old name has been used, with the first place in palace examination as the champion. Although the champion is also called the title, it is no longer the official name.
Tang didn't come second, but he had a flower picker. After the announcement of the list of new scholars in Tang dynasty, a grand banquet tour was held in Qujiang, and the youngest one was Tanhualang; The original intention is just a joke, and it has nothing to do with ranking first. In the early Song Dynasty, the first, second and third scholars ranked second. Because when filling in the Jinshi list, the top scholar's name is in the middle of the top, the second and third places are around, and the position on the Jinshi list is like the eye position of the human body, so it is called the second place. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Ruozhuo won the second place because of his poor literary talent. People laughed at him for being "blind".
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the third Jinshi was renamed Hua Tan, so the second place became the proper name of the second place. Therefore, the champion, the second place, and the flower exploration, as three special names of Ding Jia, were synthesized in the Southern Song Dynasty.
After Mao's reign, schools and recommendations existed in name only, but imperial examinations were paid more and more attention.
The imperial examination in Ming Dynasty was divided into three stages: after having obtained a local exam, the senior high school entrance examination and palace examination. Students (scholars) go to the provincial capital to take the exam every three years, and teach them to do it after passing the provincial exam. The person who was admitted is called Juren, and his name is Xie Yuan.
Juren and imperial academy will take the exam next spring, which is called the exam. The admitted students are called Jinshi, and the first one is Hui Yuan.
In the same year, Emperor Tiandi personally took an examination of the Jinshi in the temple, which was called the court examination or the court examination. The admitted Jinshi are divided into three categories: group one, group three, called champion, group two, flower exploration; Second, there are several people in the top three, and the first one is Chuanqi.
The so-called "triple sum" means that you won Xie Yuan, Huiyuan and Champion three times in a row.
The word "Jinshi" started from the establishment of Yang Di, ranking first in Jinshi, also known as "Jia Kui", second, second and third.
Song Taizu officially established the palace examination system, that is, after the official examination, the emperor presided over the highest-level examination in the palace and decided the admission list and ranking. All the participants became "sons of the Son of Heaven". After the court examination, the emperor held a ceremony to announce the ranking of candidates who entered the imperial examination, and hosted a banquet in honor of Joan Lin Yuan, so it was called the Qionglin Banquet. The palace exam ranked first, second and third, and the first, second and third place can all be called the champion. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the first place was 1, the second place was No.2, and the third place was Tan Hua. In Song Zhezong, scholars are divided into two branches, namely Confucian classics and poetry, and examinations are held separately. The righteous decide to choose, and the poets decide to stay. The general examination in Song Dynasty is divided into three levels: state examination, ritual examination and palace examination. The state government tried to solve the exam, and the department of rites tried to solve the exam. The court examination is complicated. In the Song Dynasty, in addition to Zheng Ke, Cohen was established. If he failed the exam for fifteen times in a row, the emperor awarded him a bachelor's degree in the form of "special favor".
