What are the similarities and differences between the civil service examination and the previous imperial examination?

Can we say that it is almost the same?

It should be said that it also gives people of different classes the same opportunity to be in a high-level state of dominance.

There are also written examinations and interviews, and they are also divided into central examinations and local examinations.

The difference is in the content of the examination. The ancient imperial examination was mainly based on eight-legged essays, especially based on what the ancients said or did. It tested the candidates' writing skills and views on the current world. It was based on classical Chinese. Mainly articles, you can win by rote memorization of sample essays. If we say they are more similar, the current college entrance examination composition is quite similar to the ancient imperial examination. The interviews in the imperial examination were mainly about the emperor's questions, and the answers were answered on the spot, which was very random.

The civil service examination questions are targeted to a certain extent. The test questions are relatively flexible and more about testing a person's quality. Moreover, you cannot get high scores by memorizing them by rote. Interviews come in many forms and are not based on a single person's preferences.
