Trịnh Tuệ
The Confucian court examination system in Vietnam (Chữ Hán: 科榜越南, ) was a system for entry into the civil service, which was modelled after the Imperial examination in China, based on knowledge of the classics and literary style from 1075 to 1919. __TOC__ History The exams entered Vietnam during the Chinese domination of Vietnam, long era of Chinese occupation and adopted by subsequent independent dynasties as a way of filling the civil service. They were instituted at court level by the Lý dynasty's Emperor Lý Nhân Tông in 1075 and continued some 1000 years later toward the final years of the Nguyễn dynasty's Emperor Khải Định. The examinations were suspended by French Indochina, the French in 1913 with the very last local exams occurring from 1915 to 1919, thus making Vietnam the last country to hold Confucian civil service examinations. The royal court exams were typically held every three years, though the award of first prizes was far less frequent. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Juren
