The college entrance examination in China originated from the imperial examination system in Sui Dynasty. The imperial examination system was a system for selecting officials through examinations in ancient China. It is called imperial examination because it adopts the method of selecting scholars by subjects. The imperial examination system was implemented from the Sui Dynasty until the last Jinshi examination was held in the thirty-first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty.

On September 2nd, A.D. 1905, the Chinese imperial examination system, which lasted for 1300 years, came to an end with the promulgation of an imperial edict. However, we shouted for a thousand times before she began to come to us. With the strong east wind in Europe and America, new schools have been established all over China. At the same time, the method of independent enrollment of western universities was directly moved to the newly-built university in China, and it was used until the early liberation. "Short-lived Unified Plan" in 1930s.

1937, Central University, Zhejiang University and Wuhan University tried out joint enrollment. 1938 the Ministry of education stipulates that colleges and universities across the country should implement unified recruitment.

1940, the scope of unified recruitment schools was extended to institutions. Private and public-private colleges and universities still enroll students independently. This unified entrance examination is an important attempt of college entrance examination reform in China since 1905. Regrettably, due to the severe war, the unified recruitment method was forced to be interrupted after only three years of implementation.

During the period of 1949, except for a few universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua, most universities in China still followed the old system and implemented separate entrance examinations. The enrollment plan, conditions and methods are decided by each school. The problem of insufficient enrollment and low enrollment rate of freshmen in colleges and universities is caused by individual enrollment.

1950 On May 26th, the Ministry of Education issued the first college entrance examination document in New China, requiring the education departments of major administrative regions to "jointly or uniformly recruit all or part of colleges and universities in appropriate places on a regular basis according to local conditions". However, due to the inertia of individual recruitment, this year's recruitment methods are still varied, including inter-school alliances, regional alliances, and individual enrollment by schools.
