2. The imperial examination system, also known as imperial examination and imperial examination system, was a system for selecting officials through examinations in ancient China. It is called imperial examination because it adopts the method of selecting scholars by subjects. The imperial examination system began with literary works, and all the literary talents were selected to govern the country, so literary works were the main part of the imperial examination system. After Emperor Wendi acceded to the throne, the system of Zheng Zhi with Nine Grades was abolished. According to historical records, in the first month of Huang Kai's third year, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty wrote a letter to "Xian Liang". In 587, the seventh year of the emperor's reign, Jing Guan, the general manager and the secretariat, were appointed as two imperial examiners, namely, "ambition, honesty, diligence" and "fairness and economy".
In Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian initiated the martial arts examination for selecting military commanders. It was renamed Wu Ke in Qing Dynasty. Historically, Wu Juyi has been detained about 500 times. Compared with the civil imperial examination, the military imperial examination is less valued. Military exercises in past dynasties were sometimes abolished and sometimes resumed. The status of martial arts background is also lower than that of scholars with liberal arts background. Before the Song Dynasty, there was no "martial arts champion". The first martial arts champion was Yi Xue from Fujian, who was born in Song Shenzong. Later, he fought against Xixia and died. Famous military commanders who were born in Wuju in history include Tang Dynasty (the early years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty had different martial arts), Xu in the Northern Song Dynasty (who was born as a scholar, and later gave up martial arts and was awarded the champion of martial arts), and Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty (who was a scholar during the Jiajing period of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty).
