For more than 1, 000 years, the Chinese bureaucracy was mostly made up of people who succeeded in imperial examinations.
Children learn about culture and practices martial art since childhood in order to pass imperial examinations. Then became a civil or military official to uphold their ancestors.

1,乡试(provincial imperial examination , every 3 years), PASS ↓ will be appointed as officials.
2,会试( metropolitan examinations、 every 3 years) PASS ↓
3,殿试(palace examinations,hold by the emperor )
