What are the main differences between the electoral systems of Han, Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties?

The electoral system in the Han, Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties has its unique characteristics in history, and the main differences are as follows:

Election system in Han Dynasty: The system recommended by officials was implemented in Han Dynasty. Officials can recommend talented people, which will be reviewed by higher-level officials and recommended to the emperor. The recommended talents must take the imperial examination and achieve certain results before they can be selected.

Jin Dynasty's electoral system: Jin Dynasty practiced the system of filial piety and faithfulness. Filial piety refers to a scholar with high moral character, diligence and achievements who is recommended by local officials and appointed by the court after examination.

Election system in Tang dynasty: the imperial examination system was implemented in Tang dynasty, that is, talents were selected through the imperial examination. The imperial examination is divided into two stages: the court examination and the final examination. The court examination was presided over by the emperor himself, while the final examination was presided over by local officials. Only those who pass the exam can get the official position.

The electoral system in Song Dynasty: The imperial examination system was implemented in Song Dynasty, which included provincial examination, provincial examination and palace examination. After the provincial examination, the local officials presided over it, the provincial officials presided over it, and the imperial examination was presided over by the emperor himself. Only those who passed the examination were awarded official positions, and this imperial examination system continued until the abolition of the imperial examination system in Qing Dynasty.

In a word, the electoral system in Han, Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties is different in history, from the system of recommending officials to the system of advocating filial piety, and then to the imperial examination system, all of which reflect the historical development and progress. These electoral systems supported and maintained the stability and development of the imperial court by selecting talents, and had an important impact on the formation and development of China's history and culture.
