Let's take a look at this writer's ** first. Chinese writers say that the imperial examination should have been abolished a long time ago, saying that this thing only gives people hope, and this hope is all an illusion. As for his **, let's talk about this imperial examination system today, is he so worthless?

Writer. The writer quoted the scriptures in **, saying that the Song Dynasty, the best dynasty for scholars, accounted for 26 of the imperial examinations1%, and the lowest in other dynasties was only 1%. But do you know how China selected talents before the invention of the imperial examination system? China first used the Shiqing Shilu system in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which monopolized 53 people in 71 impromptu states of King Wen, and all of this wave of people were hereditary, under this Shiqing Shilu system, the chances of the low-level commoners and slaves to develop upwards were almost zero.

Shiqing Shilu system.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a probationary system, which was a bottom-up system for selecting talents, which was actually more advanced than the Shiqing Shilu system. But even so, there will be "" show talents, do not know the book. Filial piety and honesty, the father does not live". It is human nature to be oriented to one's own people, and it is not necessary to be virtuous, and this kind of beautiful quality is not shared by everyone. Let's talk from the heart, if you open a small company, do you use your own sister for finance or recruit someone from outside?

Probationary system. In the period of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the nine-product Zhongzheng system appeared. At this time, the HR is the same as the talent recommendation officer will recommend talents in his own class. So much so that it came later. There is no cold door in the upper grade, and there is no family in the lower grade.

Nine products in the positive system.

Only the imperial examination system created by Emperor Wen of Sui was a relatively fair selection of talents, and it was at that time that China began to lead the world.

From the Sui and Tang dynasties until the late Qing Dynasty, China has always been a world leader, and the imperial examination system has played a very important role here.

The first is to greatly improve the disadvantages of the previous employment system in the political aspect, and it is that people who are truly talented and learn have the opportunity to enter the leading positions.

The second is to unify the ideology of the whole country through Confucianism, so that China has cultural cohesion. And it is precisely because of China's cultural heritage that it can be reborn again and again after the invasion of foreign nations.

The third one is there"Everything is inferior, only reading is high"It is the consensus that has made China unprecedentedly prosperous in literature and art, just look at China's poetry and songs.

Imperial examination system. In today's society, the college entrance examination, postgraduate entrance examination, and civil service examination are still the fairest channels for class leap and upward development. Although there will be some fraud in the imperial examination system, the college entrance examination, and even the civil service examination, it does not mean that this system is inherently problematic. The country has been developing, and it has never stopped rectifying irrational phenomena.

Any system played an important role in the historical environment at that time. Therefore, the imperial examination system is definitely not as worthless as the writer says, and in the past thousand years, this is the best talent selection system.

In other words, if there were no imperial examinations, wouldn't they all become "graces" and "donors"? Even if only half of them are selected by the imperial examination, it's better than nothing, right?
