“In principle [the examination system] was open to all qualified applicants regardless of social background, which made it unsually democratic …. But for a candidate to continue his studies without interruption for such a long period required a measure of economic support that was simply not available to poor people. Thus the contention that the doors of examination system were open to all applicants was an exaggeration, of course. Yet we must not lose sight of the historical context: the very idea that everyone should be eligible for examinations regardless of family background or lineage, was incomparably foward looking in its day. It is true that the examinations not only produced officals loyal to the state but also, at times, resentful rejected applicants who opposed the sytem. Yet when an old dynasty was replaced by a new, the latter usually undertook an early revvival of the examination system practically unchanged”
