1. In the imperial examination in Qing Dynasty, scholars described the imperial examination society as the most representative name in ancient China. In the political structure of traditional society, the imperial examination system played an important historical role, which laid the foundation of autocratic rule in feudal society, consolidated the unity of China, restrained the vicious development of autocratic monarchy to violence, selected and trained a large number of talents for governing the country and keeping the country safe, and effectively promoted the prosperity and development of China culture. The imperial examination system, founded in the Sui Dynasty, was further revised in all aspects in the Tang Dynasty, continuously developed and improved in the Song Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. It has a long history and profound significance. The establishment of the imperial examination system was a major reform of the official selection system in ancient China, which was adopted by the feudal dynasty and became a basic system of official selection in feudal countries. Compared with several official selection systems before Sui Dynasty, it is beneficial to provide more human resources for the country and effectively improve the ruling role of administration in maintaining centralization. Qing Dynasty was the last feudal ruling dynasty in Chinese history. On the basis of inheriting the experience of the previous generation and according to its own historical conditions and characteristics, it constantly improved and adjusted the feudal system to meet the needs of its own development and strengthen its rule over the feudal society. Its feudal system developed well in the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, the imperial examination system in Qing dynasty is more perfect than before, which is the epitome of the imperial examination system in previous dynasties. Judging from the procedures, contents and the provisions of the examination venue, it is also relatively perfect in past dynasties, with the characteristics of high standardization and stylization. Secondly, The Scholars is a long satirical novel written by Wu according to the social environment of the Qing Dynasty at that time and his own life experience. There are nearly 200 characters in the book, and the image of scholars is particularly vivid. As we all know, most of the characters in The Scholars are real people, but they are pictographs. If you refer to the collections of various factions in Yungan, you can't list the characters one by one, but their temperament and ingenuity are often nine times out of ten. "It's like the preface of" The Old Man Living in Idleness "lending his life to paper. The reader, under no circumstances, can take it away from the mirror. In The Scholars, Wu Wei portrayed different characters in different living environments and showed a very broad picture of life, including various characters about cities, villages, government officials and ordinary people, which made them live in his pen and ink. Those who are interested in fame and fortune and flattery (,Jin Fan, Kuang Superman) are keen on fame and fortune all their lives. They are humiliated and condescending. Before the senior high school entrance examination, they were subjected to all kinds of ridiculous thoughts and behaviors, which made us read about ridiculous and poor people. While mocking them, the author expressed more sympathy for them. Those who are proud of fame and fortune (Zhang Jingzhai, Wang Hui, Yan, Yan Jiansheng) are all immersed in the poison of fame and fortune, which is difficult to cure; Others (Guo Tiebi, Niu Buyi, Zhang Tiearm, Zhao Xuezhai) have no intention of fame and wealth or self-esteem. These people are a group of derivatives of the imperial examination system, or frustrated in the examination field, or lost in their official career for various reasons. In order to make up for their deep sense of loss, they imitate the ancients, pretend to be celebrities and show off their poems. They all put on airs, cling to powerful people, brag about each other, pretend to be lofty, claim to be careless about fame and wealth, but they are obsessed with fame and wealth in their bones and are reluctant to go; Finally, fame and resignation are the highest realm and the mainstay (Du, Zhuang Shaoguang, Yu Yide, Chi Hengshan). Third, the practical significance of The Scholars in contemporary times. Studying The Scholars is of great significance to our real life. Cao thinks: 1, narrow talent evaluation criteria can only lead to one-sided development and abnormal growth of talents. 2. If you don't believe in books and authority, you can gain true knowledge. Only by overcoming the concept of hierarchy and having both ability and political integrity can we cultivate real talents. These three viewpoints are all derived from scholars, which have an important enlightening effect on contemporary education. From the perspective of social structure, the premise and possibility of applying for civil servants. The establishment and gradual implementation of the national civil service system has broken through the limitation of the previous state administrative organs that pay too much attention to the pre-existing factors such as region, identity and household registration, broadened the talent selection field of relevant government departments, and built a relatively fair competition platform for candidates. Then analyze the unexpected consequences of rationalization of examination motivation from the perspective of subjective factors. From the perspective of human motivation, civil servant candidates, as the main body, make a comprehensive analysis of society and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of various occupations and industries, and think that it is a rational choice to enter the civil service through examinations. Faced with the increasingly severe employment situation, the market risks brought by the financial crisis and the imperfection of China's social security system, people tend to choose more stable jobs. Jiao Qun believes that the craze for public examinations is like this: a group of people who take public examinations are not dedicated to the people and the cause. But for black income, the supreme right. To sum up, the imperial examination system described and criticized in The Scholars and its literati status are similar to the current civil servant craze in many aspects. This work hundreds of years ago is still of great practical significance to our modern society. Source: Enterprise Herald
