Detailed explanation-1: -The Tang dynasty (618–907) created a system of local schools where scholars could pursue their studies. Those desiring to enter the upper levels of the bureaucracy then competed in the jinshi exams, which tested a candidate’s knowledge of the Confucian Classics.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the Song dynasty, the aristocratic families declined, and political power was held entirely by the emperor. The emperor’s position was thus consolidated, and he could control officials at will.
Detailed explanation-3: -The examination system was an attempt to recruit men on the basis of merit rather than on the basis of family or political connection. Because success in the examination system was the basis of social status and because education was the key to success in the system, education was highly regarded in traditional China.
