The Abolition of the Imperial Examination and Modern Chinese Society
About This Novel
The abolition of the imperial examination was one of the most important changes in modern society. Whether we can evaluate it realistically and draw lessons from it depends on a comprehensive and clear understanding of the relevant historical facts. In particular, the decision-making process, the intention of the system change, the aftermath arrangements, the feelings of the relevant people and the actual impact on all parties in society are crucial. This research result has corrected some biases and misunderstandings in the past, and is conducive to deepening the understanding of the relationship between the abolition of the imperial examination and modern society, and has important academic value. This research result confirms that institutional changes are not isolated. The process of the immediate suspension of the imperial examination must be examined in conjunction with the overall changes in society in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China in order to rectify the source. If the relevant connections are ignored or separated, it will not only easily confuse the difference between direct and indirect effects, but even amplify the individual into the whole, hindering correct judgment and leading to misunderstanding of other related issues. Therefore, the research results have application value in methodology.
