Something is seriously wrong about this article. Good read and that make it the worst article on this subject. Both horizontally (culture) and vertically (history) sort of figure speak.
First there are obvious a few major break of that system. Start with no such system unlike what is said. In fact the very examination was sort of inverted by a Tang dynasty emperor, even with a declaration that from now on all the literate will be in my grasp. And unlike that eight-box system, it is much more free style and corrupted as such. Hence the system to standardize the exam. Genarlaisation if one has to should at least divide into period.
Another thing is call it chinese, which is whilst “obvious” but is also wrong. The whole thing is Hans. It is exclusive due to its subject matter. Of course they do not look at you on race as Hans is not a race. Look at today so called chinese. You can sense there are major difference even in height and look (the southern and northern “race”) that nobody care. Still it is strictly Hans from Tang to Qing. That is reason why when they escalate to university the study of “Chinese” disappears and becomes modern day Hans. You cannot say non-Hans language not chinese for political reason. But just ignore them and concentrate on Hans.
There is no chinese before 1911, an invention in 1911 to trick the Manchuria emperor to write that essay and Mongolia and Tibet to toe the line.
(United Kingdom all are English and let us study only English exam as uk exam. Work well for some foreigner and English. Wales aide, let us use the dominate language dominate and generalize it to America and Ireland which also use “english” as part of the English system.)
Well written and as lie goes, it is very bad as somehow it generalize to the extent that it is wrong.
