In ancient times, would someone conduct imperial examination immigration similar to college entrance examination immigration for the sake of imperial examination?

Did the ancients have imperial examination immigrants? The teaching resources in each place are different, and the admission in each place is different. The ancient imperial examination also had the phenomenon of imperial examination immigration.

In ancient times, because of the existence of the household registration system and the prevalence of the imperial examination system, many talents were sent to the ruling court. What I have to mention here is the so-called college entrance examination immigrants, which refer to those students who take advantage of the differences in college entrance examination scores and admission rates in different places to take exams in areas with relatively low college entrance examination scores and high admission rates through household registration migration or transfer. But the ancient "imperial examination immigrants" are not the current college entrance examination immigrants. At that time, they were all called "fake".

The imperial examination system was founded in the Sui Dynasty and gradually improved in the Tang Dynasty. There are so many places to register, and there are also many people who apply for it. Liu Zongyuan said in the preface to seeing off Xin Sheng: "Young men in Beijing often oppose the hundred counties."

As a result, many talented people choose college entrance examination immigrants because of their household registration. Bai Juyi, a poet known as the "poet demon" and "poet king", also immigrated to the imperial examination. Bai Juyi came to Xuancheng all the way because the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty stipulated that candidates must be "students" of academies or "rural tributes" selected by counties.

Bai Juyi is not qualified to be a "student", so he has to find a way to be a "country sage", but his household registration is too low. Later, he thought that his uncle Ji Kang served as the county magistrate and solved this problem.

In the Song Dynasty and the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the problem of college entrance examination immigration remained unsolved. It can be seen that college entrance examination immigration is a very difficult problem. The migration of college entrance examination not only existed in ancient times, but also was a very important event.
