Reading Changes and Knowledge Transformation: a Study of the Books Used for Imperial Examinations in the Late Qing Dynasty
by Cao Nanping
About This Novel
This book takes the imperial examination books of the late Qing Dynasty as its research object, and attempts to reveal how the imperial examination system in modern China responded to the same "great changes unseen in three thousand years" in knowledge. During the late Qing Dynasty, the introduction and impact of Western learning prompted the imperial examination system to respond. The publication and circulation of imperial examination books were not only affected by the adjustment of the intellectual orientation of elite scholars and the reform of the imperial examination system, but also deeply involved in the practice of imperial examinations. Taking the books used for imperial examinations as the entry point for research will help deepen our understanding of the reading world and knowledge world of Chinese scholars in the late Qing Dynasty.
