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. 410 0$aSinica Leidensia ;$v65. 517 3 $aReading an Annual Programme in the Collected Statements by Wang Dingbao (870-940) 606 $aCivil service$xExaminations 606 $aCivil service$zChina$xExaminations$xHistory 606 $aEmployees$xRecruiting 606 $aTang Dynasty (China) 607 $aChina$xHistory$yTang dynasty, 618-907 607 $aChina$xOfficials and employees$xRecruiting$xHistory 615 0$aCivil service$xExaminations. 615 0$aCivil service$xExaminations$xHistory. 615 0$aEmployees$xRecruiting. 615 0$aTang Dynasty (China) 676 $a352.6/5/095109021 700 $aMoore$b Oliver$01493773 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784887803321 996 $aRituals of Recruitment in Tang China$93716904 997 $aUNINA
