Want to check out the 1978 college entrance examination real questions at the Imperial Examination Museum?

Come to Confucius Temple but don't want to be squeezed into the Qinhuai River? Do you know about the Chinese Imperial Examination Museum? Next to the Qinhuai River, beside the Confucius Temple, this place is the Jiangnan Gongyuan of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the big examination hall for candidates from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Anhui, and it is also a rare underground space museum. Highlights The top scorer's answer sheet, the handwriting is just like printed text, worthy of admiration. It turns out that ancient candidates also brought cheat sheets, Tang Bohu was involved in an examination fraud case. To write an exam essay in such a small cage for three days, even a genius would be driven mad. And finally, there is: the first set of real college entrance examination questions from the 1978 restoration! It was so much simpler than now! But considering that those candidates didn't have the conditions to attend school properly, it's understandable! Tips Go later in the afternoon, the museum is open until nine o'clock at night, and the night view around Confucius Temple is beautiful, better than during the day. If you go during the day, you can stroll around the nearby Lao Mendong, which I personally think is more beautiful than Confucius Temple, with fewer people, and you can also climb the Zhonghua Gate City Wall, a genuine Ming dynasty city wall!! Knowledge Points: The Chinese imperial examination, started in the Sui dynasty and ended in the Qing dynasty, lasted for more than a thousand years. Three top ranks: Zhuangyuan (top scorer), Bangyan (second place), and Tanhua (third place) Three levels: Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, Tanhua The path of advancement: Tongsheng—Xiucai—Juren—Gongshi—Jinshi Examinations: Academy Exam—Prefectural Exam—Provincial Exam—Palace Exam
