  Imperial examination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The imperial examinations (科舉; pinyin: kējǔ) in dynastic China determined positions in the civil service based on merit and education, which had promoted upward mobility among the population for centuries.
The Taiping regime was the first ever authority to admit women in the candidature, although later suspended the exam altogether.
The Chinese civil service exams began around the sixth century; by 115 CE a set curriculum had already become established for the so-called First Generation of exam takers.
