After the establishment of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty improved the imperial examination system on its basis, and the martial examination system came into being, providing a way to select talents with outstanding martial arts. However, the martial arts system of the Ming Dynasty faced the problem of long-term stagnation. This paper will analyze the dilemma of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts system from the aspects of its partial culture, fraud, unusability, and loose group consciousness, and reveal the tortuous process of the development of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts system.
Wuju is more cultural: there is an imbalance in the examination subjects.
The martial arts examination subjects of the Ming Dynasty included strategy quizzes, mounted archery and foot archery, which were supposed to comprehensively assess the talents of martial artists. However, due to the implementation of the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force in the Ming Dynasty, the Wenchen emphasized strategy and general literacy, ignoring the basic qualities of mounted archery and infantry archery in martial arts. In the martial arts examination, the martial arts examination was gradually formalized, and the requirements for the actual combat ability of the generals were reduced, which made the martial arts system gradually deviate from the original intention.
The strategy subject in the Ming Dynasty martial arts examination also showed a trend of formalization. Most of the authors are civilian scholars who lack practical combat experience, and their understanding of the art of war and strategy is biased towards theory. Some people who believe that the war needs to maintain the right path have a negative attitude towards the theory of martial arts, which makes the military system tilt towards liberal arts.
Fraud: Poor system supervision.
The imperial examination system has brought about the problem of fraud, and the military examination system has been particularly weak in supervision. The quality of the invigilators is generally low, and the management of the examination room is careless, which is prone to miswrite the information of the candidates, and the late candidates are still on the exam list. This unserious examination environment has encouraged the phenomenon of fraudulent examination by candidates, making it difficult for the military examination system to play its role in selecting and promoting talent and strengthening military strength.
Illusory: The content of the exam is out of touch.
The examination content of the martial arts system of the Ming Dynasty failed to keep pace with the times and failed to meet the needs of the military development of the Ming Dynasty. The examination mainly focused on mounted archery and infantry shooting, ignoring practical military issues such as sea navigation and the use of firearms. This made the martial arts talents detached from actual combat and lacked a practical understanding of the military pressure of the Ming Dynasty, which led to the limitations and inadequacies of the martial arts system.
Loose sense of community: low status, small scale.
The contempt for martial arts in the Ming Dynasty affected the status of the martial arts group, and the culture of worshipping literature and hating martial arts was deeply rooted in the society. The wuju group lacks common group goals and consensus, and has a low sense of identity with the wuju identity, and it has become a common phenomenon to quickly get rid of the wuju identity. However, the formation time of the martial arts group is relatively late, the scale is not large, and the number of recruits is limited, which leads to its weak and loose group consciousness and it is difficult to form a common sense of identity.
Conclusion: Challenges and Reforms.
The martial arts system of the Ming Dynasty was stagnant for a long time, and the reasons for this included many factors, such as cultural bias, fraud, unusability, and loose group consciousness. However, in the later Ming Dynasty, in order to adapt to the development of the times, a series of reforms were carried out on the martial arts system, which injected new impetus into the strengthening of the country's military strength. The dilemma of the martial arts system is a product of history and a revelation for future reforms. Through an in-depth analysis of the problems of the martial arts system in the Ming Dynasty, we can better understand the complexity of the imperial examination system and provide reference and experience for future educational reform.
The Ming Dynasty Wuju System: Challenges and Progress.
This article delves into the reasons for the long-term stagnation of the martial arts system in the Ming Dynasty, and has a detailed analysis of the historical background, development process and existing problems of the martial arts system. From the article, we can see that the problems of the martial arts system in the Ming Dynasty were not caused by a single reason, but by a comprehensive influence of many aspects.
First of all, the article mentions the phenomenon of the martial arts system being more cultural, which not only reflects the emphasis of the national policy on civilian officials at that time, but also reflects the society's contempt for martial arts. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the civilian clique's perception of military generals dominated the development direction of the martial arts system, resulting in its neglect in the early days of its establishment. This lack of attention to the martial arts system has slowed down the development of the system and limited the selection of martial arts talents.
Secondly, the article points out the phenomenon of fraud and reveals the poor supervision of the martial arts system. **Poor supervision and low quality of invigilators have led to confusion in the management of the examination room and repeated prohibitions of fraud. This not only undermines the fairness and authority of the martial arts system, but also makes the selected martial arts talents question and belittle their abilities, further weakening the influence of the martial arts system.
Third, the article points out that the content of the military system is ineffective and fails to meet the needs of the development of the times. The military of the Ming Dynasty faced a turning point, but the content of the martial arts examination did not involve practical issues such as sea navigation and firearms, resulting in the selection of military generals lacking the ability to cope with real challenges. This also reflects the failure of the military system to keep pace with the times and the trend of military development when it was designed.
Finally, the article discusses the problem of loose group consciousness, revealing the low status and small scale of the martial arts group, and the lack of common group goals and consensus. This makes the martial arts group have a low sense of identity and make it difficult to form a strong group force. This loosening of consciousness not only affects the cohesion of the martial arts group, but also makes it difficult to improve the status of the martial arts system in society.
To sum up, the long-term stagnation of the martial arts system in the Ming Dynasty was the result of a combination of factors. The article has a profound analysis of each issue, and has a thorough understanding of the historical background and the operating mechanism of the system. Today, we can also draw lessons from this experience and learn from history to better promote the reform of the education and selection system, so that society can cultivate talents more justly and rationally.
