In the ancient times, ＂the study of imperial examination＂（Kejuxue） referred to the way and methods on how to prepare the imperial examination. In the modern age, ＂the study of imperial examination＂ means the systematic research of imperial examination. Now the study of imperial examination is not only a multidisciplinary research, but also an evolving and ongoing specialized field of academic research. The formation of the study of imperial examination is from the verification of the imperial examination system,the memories of historical events, the compilation of documents and the composition of the data to the exploration of theories and the construction of the specialized field of academic research on it.
