What is the equivalent of Jinshi now?

Speaking of the academic qualifications of Jinshi, let's first look at what level the ancient Jinshi belonged to. Let's look at it from the perspective of the ancients. What is the academic qualification of ancient scholars equivalent to now?

In the imperial examination system that has been used in ancient times, China passed the imperial examination set by the central government and was called Jinshi, which is also the origin of the ancient imperial examination and its name. It first appeared in the Book of Rites. During the great cause of Yang Di, Jinshi was established. Tang also set up this subject. Anyone who takes the test is called Jinshi, and those who take the pilot test are called Jinshi. At that time, the two subjects of Jinshi and Mingjing were particularly important in the Tang Dynasty. Later, poetry fu gradually evolved into the most important examination content for Jinshi. In the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, after the imperial examination, Jinshi was awarded the first place, which was called Jinshi.

From the first imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was abolished in 1905. For a long time near 1300, the role of Jinshi was the absolute protagonist in China politics. In the long history of 1300 years, there are about 1 10000 scholars, with an average of 84 per year. Jinshi is divided into the top three, one with three people, and they are given to Jinshi and; Twenty-three are given to scholars, and the number of scholars is uncertain.

This starting point of Jinshi is the final destination of Juren. If Jinshi can make the list, the worst treatment is just being sent to a remote place as a county magistrate, which is different from juren. If you can be a small county magistrate at retirement age, it will be considered an ancestral virtue.

Generally speaking, even if Jinshi has no ambition, no ability and bad luck, he will not be able to enter the imperial court in the downtown area for a lifetime, and he can also get a five-product magistrate to retire at the local level, which is the same level as the municipal party secretary of the prefecture-level city now. And the vast majority of Jinshi, honed in decades of officialdom, how many can also mix a three dynasties veteran, and at worst, is also a wealthy prince.

In other words, if you can get into the ancient Jinshi, it can basically be said that you are doomed to the end of your life, and you will eventually be a provincial or ministerial cadre with real power or a deputy national cadre. Assuming that your grades are better (that is, the top three), you are almost determined to become a national cadre with great practical power.

Of course, this is only a rough comparison, just because the social system and history are different, the social system changes, and the exam difficulty is different, which also determines that it is impossible to correspond completely.
