The faceless society

Great Yan's imperial court's Official Selection process was like this:

The official Registrar's Department would organize a Registration Examination every time there was a major examination. Many people who were interested in becoming an official would choose which Ministry or local government they wanted to enter and take the examination when the time came.

There were written and combat examinations. The so-called written exam referred to the functions of the position that cultivators registered for. Questions were set and essays were written. They roughly explained how they should carry out their work and what they should do after entering the position. And the combat examination was naturally a test of cultivation and actual combat.
