There were 202 champions in Ming and Qing Dynasties, 35 of whom were from Suzhou.
Although the above list is just some examples of academicians and top scholars. However, from this handful of data, we can also see the advantages of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Talent, culture and economy promote each other, and the emergence of talent affects the development of regional economy and the improvement of cultural level. Emperor Kangxi once said: Southeast is a land of wealth, and Jiangzuo Wenju (ǒ u). It can be seen that Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are by no means ordinary.
