The Imperial Examination System and Literary Evolution in the Song Dynasty
by Zhuge Yibing
About This Novel
Since the birth of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has affected social politics, culture and life in many aspects, especially the impact on scholars, which also restricted the literary creation at that time. The imperial examination system was greatly improved in the Song Dynasty, which not only greatly increased the number of candidates, but also improved the selection and management systems of the imperial examination system. For a long time, academic circles have always focused their research on the imperial examination system and its social significance, focusing on historical elaboration, and to a certain extent, neglected the impact of the imperial examination system on the texts of contemporary literati. As the official career promotion path that had the greatest impact on Song Dynasty literati, the imperial examination system most directly affected the literary creation and literary themes of Song Dynasty literati.
