Features: Tang Dynasty's imperial examination strategies, where heroes are lured into the trap; Empress Dowager Cixi's abolition of the exams, leaving the nation to ponder the truth; For a thousand three hundred years of imperial examinations, how many have achieved fame? — Since the provincial and metropolitan exams were suspended in the Bingwu year, only Qi Rushan has been able to answer this question across generations. With names filling the examination papers, petals fall in abundance, and vitality surges. This is not just a review of names but also a critique of right and wrong, not just a narration of stories but also an evaluation of beauty and ugliness. Thus, the farther it recedes, the broader it becomes. The longer it remains, the deeper it resonates. The examination halls are gone, but are scholars, juren, and chuanjin still around? Yet, they stand shoulder to shoulder, and extraordinary talents are no longer unimaginable. Figures like Sun Chengzong and Wang Weiren, who left a legacy in history, have also found their essence beyond mere examination success in this encyclopedia of ancient Chinese electoral systems.
