Features: The Nine-Rank System (Jiupin Guoren Fa) was an important selection system during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods. This book attempts to break stereotypes, correct inaccuracies, and provide a complete and accurate depiction of the "original history" of the Nine-Rank System. It reveals the exploration, attempts, and eventual choice of the selection system as a strong pillar of ancient Chinese bureaucratic politics and a powerful "commanding baton" for education, ultimately leading to the path of the Imperial Examination system.
