In ancient China, the selection of talents was through the "filial piety system" through the special examination of personality in the DPRK, and it was recommended to the emperor, but this system was very easy to bury talents, until the birth of the imperial examination system in the Sui Dynasty in 605, but the number of people who entered the dynasty as officials through the imperial examination system was also very small.
In ancient times, the top three of the examination system were distinguished as champions, list eyes, and flowers, followed by lifting people, and secondly, Xiucai, mentioning Xiucai, often two people will be poor and acidic to build a relationship, and this is also related to the image of TV dramas starring Xiucai, so in ancient times, xiucai was admitted, and now what is the academic qualification?
Xiucai in the Han Dynasty and filial piety system and the name of the subject, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to avoid Liu Xiu changed to Maocai, Xiucai is also one of the earliest subjects, as for the difficulty of wanting to pass the Xiucai, in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period of the "Beitang Shuqian" there is a record: Ce Xiucai, must be the five strategies are all through, worship langzhong.
Since then, xiucai section has been used, until the Tang Dynasty when the examination system was gradually perfected, and Xiucai branch was the most difficult subject at that time, from Wude to Yonghui years, each year Xiucai was only one or two people, because it was too difficult 651 to stop the Xiucai subject, if compared with the yuan, basically the yuan can stand on one side.
The Biography of Du Zhengxuan records that Yang Su, the prime minister, read Du Zhengxuan's article and said: "Even if Zhou Gong and Confucius are reincarnated, they can't pass the Xiucai, this true Xiucai, I can't reach it", Du Zhengxuan is also known as the first person of Xiucai.
Some people have said that just now the author said that it is the comparison of xiucai and the comparison of the title of the Tang Dynasty, according to the Tang Dynasty's "Du's General Code", it can be recorded: the first xiucai is the highest, the five strategic strategies, there are upper and upper, upper and middle, upper and lower, middle and upper mortal fourth, although there are four grades, but there are still very few who can pass the xiucai.
After Xiucai was abolished, the title, the eye of the list, the exploration of flowers, also appeared in front of the world, to the Song Dynasty Xiucai branch was not completely abolished, but changed to the Ceremony Department examination, the person who passed is Xiucai, but the difficulty has been reduced a lot, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Xiucai became the basic township test passer title.
People who become Xiucai can see Zhixian without kneeling, and the local government cannot torture Xiucai, in fact, in some TV series, Xiucai always appears in the official court, just because they have certain rights, the people can report any grievances to Xiucai, which is a bit like a lawyer.
And those who become Xiucai, it is not easy to get a meritorious name, they can only teach without income, Xiucai is also related to poverty, if the Tang Dynasty or the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the "Xiucai Section" is put now, I am afraid that even the examination of civil servants will be able to be compared.
That is to say, as long as you can pass the talent examination in ancient times, basically there is no problem in being a civil servant in modern times.
