A Cultural History of Civil Examinations in Late Imperial China pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In this multidimensional analysis, Benjamin A. Elman uses over a thousand newly available examination records from the Yuan, Ming, and Ch'ing dynasties, 1315-1904, to explore the social, political, and cultural dimensions of the civil examination system, one of the most important institutions in Chinese history. For over five hundred years, the most important positions within the dynastic government were usually filled through these difficult examinations, and every other year some one to two million people from all levels of society attempted them.
Covering the late imperial system from its inception to its demise, Elman revises our previous understanding of how the system actually worked, including its political and cultural machinery, the unforeseen consequences when it was unceremoniously scrapped by modernist reformers, and its long-term historical legacy. He argues that the Ming-Ch'ing civil examinations from 1370 to 1904 represented a substantial break with T'ang-Sung dynasty literary examinations from 650 to 1250. Late imperial examinations also made "Tao Learning," Neo-Confucian learning, the dynastic orthodoxy in official life and in literati culture. The intersections between elite social life, popular culture, and religion that are also considered reveal the full scope of the examination process throughout the late empire.
沒想到也有把這本書看完的一天。要寫出這樣的書,花費的心力可以想見,還是頗值得敬佩。Elman一方面認為何炳棣等人高估了明清的社會流動,強調科舉其實是文化再生產的機制;但在此同時,科舉也是明清政治控制與社會穩定的支柱。 在課上搭配了讀了另一本2010談清代捐納的博士論文,寫的很有意思。它指出,我們大多低估了捐官的重要性(從另一方面講,就是高估的科舉的重要性)。其實捐官在清代非常普遍,甚至連有些獲得進士頭銜的人都要透過捐官來加速自己在官場的晉升。
