Research on the Selection System and the Poetry Creation of Literati in the Tang Dynasty
by Chen Tiemin
About This Novel
The guard-by-election system was an important part of the official selection process in the Tang Dynasty. Its essence was that civil servants below the sixth rank could not serve continuously and had to take turns to retire from office. Moreover, they often served for less time and had more time to retire. This situation had a significant impact on the lives and creations of scribes. This book first discusses the formation and development of the selection system in the Tang Dynasty. Secondly, it explores the ways for civil servants in the Tang Dynasty to get rid of being elected. Getting rid of the election means that civil servants can be appointed officials without having to participate in the selection of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, that is, they can become ministerial officers of the fifth rank or above or permanent staff officials of the sixth rank or below, so that they can continue to serve as officials. Finally, it briefly describes the influence of the Shouxuan system on the life style and literary creation of scribes in the Tang Dynasty, such as the style of seclusion and landscape pastoral poetry.
