Sinica Leidensia ;65Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph90-04-13937-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.Based on translations of an unique Tang text, the Collected Statements , this work explores a worthy social commentary on the examination life that its compiler witnessed. Gradually providing a full picture of the civil service examination, it describes the emergence of the literary culture surrounding civil service examination recruitment during China's Tang dynasty (618-907); considers the series of rituals that Tang examination candidates underwent throughout the annual examinations; contrasts lavish court ceremonies of the early Tang period with more private rituals of acknowledgement that became fashionable in the second half of the dynasty. An annual programme of rituals became the cardinal definition of examination recruitment for both participants and onlookers. With valuable insights into the political and social tensions in the Tang history of competitive examination degrees.Sinica Leidensia ;65.Reading an Annual Programme in the Collected Statements by Wang Dingbao (870-940)Civil serviceExaminationsCivil serviceChinaExaminationsHistoryEmployeesRecruitingTang Dynasty (China)ChinaHistoryTang dynasty, 618-907ChinaOfficials and employeesRecruitingHistoryCivil serviceExaminations.Civil serviceExaminationsHistory.EmployeesRecruiting.Tang Dynasty (China)352.6/5/095109021Moore Oliver1493773NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910784887803321Rituals of Recruitment in Tang China3716904UNINA
