Which emperor started the imperial examination system?
The imperial examination system began in the first year of Sui Daye (58 1) and was implemented by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. The imperial examination system in Sui Dynasty was not perfect, but only the examinations of "Ming Jing" and "Fa Ming" were arranged to select officials.

In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination system was more perfect, and a large-scale imperial examination was held to obtain talents of Jinshi, Juren and Jieyuan. The Tang Dynasty also formulated the Unified Laws of Tang Wenhua, which stipulated the specific contents and procedures of the imperial examination system, thus promoting the further development and perfection of the imperial examination system.

In Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system developed to a higher level. The imperial examination system is divided into provincial examinations, provincial examinations, palace examinations and other large-scale examinations, and the principle of regional balance is implemented, so that every place has the opportunity to select talents. In addition, special examinations such as gifted scholar, martial arts and champion were added in the Song Dynasty, which further improved the accuracy and fairness of the imperial examination system.

From Sui Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination system became the main way to select officials and talents in China. It is not only a way of selecting talents, but also a way of social competition and communication, which has played an important role in promoting the political, cultural and social development of China.
