清代三次废除八股文的科举制改革及其对知识分子的影响

The Reform of Imperial Examination System in the Qing dynasty and Its Influence on Intellectuals

八股文作为明清时期科举考试的法定文体,在其运行的几百年间,为统治阶级笼络人才、巩固统治、强化中央集权发挥了重要作用;但其陈旧、刻板的弊端也随着社会的不断发展而日渐暴露。在清代,就有过三次废除八股文的科举制改革,伴随着这几次改革的是其对知识分子产生了重大的影响。

As an official form of examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the stereotyped writing had a very important effect on recruitment of talented people, consolidation control and strengthening centralization of government authority. However, its disadvantages were seen more clearly with the development of society. Therefore, the imperial examination system was reformed three times in the Qing dynasty, which had a deep effect on intellectuals.
