May I ask if the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were like the emperor of the Song Dynasty who presided over the examinations and transcribed the names, and what was not objective enough in the imperial examinations at that time?
Although the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty were not presided over by the emperor and transcribed like in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination system was still relatively strict. In the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was presided over by officials at all levels and a strict grading system was implemented. The results of the examination were strictly confidential to prevent corruption. The imperial examination questions of the Tang Dynasty were mainly about poetry, literature, and classics. The examinees needed to have a certain degree of cultural accomplishment and talent. The admission criteria for the imperial examination was also based on the recommendation of officials and the ranking of the examination results, not purely on individual ability. Although the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty did not have the same measures as those in the Song Dynasty, the admission criteria of the imperial examinations were still subjective because the officials 'evaluation criteria were mainly based on their judgment of the candidates' talent and character. Therefore, the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty was not objective enough. However, in general, the imperial examination system was still one of the important ways to select officials in ancient China.
