What was the ranking of the imperial examinations that ancient scholars took part in?

In ancient times, scholars took part in the imperial examination, and their rankings were based on the rank of their achievements. The achievements were divided into four grades: the top scholar, the second scholar, the flower scholar, and the scholar. The top scorer was the best candidate in the imperial examination, usually from a poet, writer, or politician with excellent writing skills. The second and third place were the two candidates with the second best results. Jinshi was the most common rank in the imperial examination. It could be awarded to officials or businessmen, but the identity of a Jinshi was very influential in society at that time.
