Features: Tang Dynasty's strategy to lure heroes into its fold; Empress Dowager Cixi's abolition of the imperial examinations, leaving the nation pondering its roots; For over a thousand years of the imperial examination system, how many have achieved fame? — Since the abolition of the provincial and metropolitan examinations in the Bingwu year, only Qi Rushan has been able to answer this question through generations. With names filling the examination papers, petals scattered, vitality surges. It is both a review of names and a review of right and wrong, a commentary on stories and a commentary on beauty. Thus, the farther it recedes, the broader it becomes. What remains, the deeper it grows. The examination halls are gone, but are there still scholars, juren, and chancellors? Yet, figures stand shoulder to shoulder, extraordinary talents no longer beyond imagination. Just as Sun Chengzong, Wang Weiren, and others have left their names in history, they too have found their essence beyond mere examination titles in this encyclopedic work on ancient Chinese electoral systems.
