Features: "Imperial Examination" was once a "not bad" bureaucratic selection system. It originated in the Sui and Tang dynasties and was abolished in the late Qing Dynasty, lasting over 1,300 years. The more than 700 top scholars, 110,000 jinshi, and millions of ju ren produced by it, along with countless scholars who remained at home and recluses living in deep mountains, together form a bittersweet chapter in the long scroll of Chinese history. The "Elegant and Popular China" series selects topics such as Chinese figures, social classes, historical sites, local customs, and daily life, recreating the rich historical and cultural information and traditional cultural elements of China through highly visual images and text. Whether in content or expression, it strives to break the boundary between elegance and popular culture, absorbing high academic research while maintaining a fun reading experience, offering a comprehensive interpretation of Chinese culture. It is a classic illustrated book that appeals to both scholars and the general public. This book is part of the series, "Imperial Examination."
