A Cultural History of Civil Examinations in Late Imperial China Hardcover - 2000 - 1st Edition
by Benjamin A. Elman
First line
This account of late imperial civil examinations begins by looking carefully at the historical conditions within which native and conquest dynasties appropriated the civil service and literati teachings (ju-hsueh, usually called Confucianism) in China before 1400.
From the rear cover
"A very important study of one of the most important institutions in Chinese history, one without which the China we have today would certainly be a vastly different place."--Peter Bol, author of "This Culture of Ours" Intellectual Transitions in T'ang and Sung China

Elman uses over a thousand newly available examination records from the Yuan, Ming, and Ch'ing dynasties, 1315-1904, to explore the social, political, and cultural dimensions of the civil examination system, one of the most important institutions in Chinese history. For over five hundred years, the most important positions within the dynastic government were usually filled through these difficult examinations, and every other year some one to two million people from all levels of society attempted them.' - University of California Press
