论中晚唐进士朋甲与官僚朋党的关系

On the Relationship Between Jinshi and Official Cliques in the Mid and Late Tang Danasty

中晚唐举人结为朋甲,相互延誉,干挠视听,无论士族与寒素,还是奥学雄文,凡是驰骋名利,欲谋取科第者,就不能避免受朋甲的影响。中晚唐进士朋甲是政局变化的一个附属品,正是因为宣宗以来,牛李党争渐息,宦官控制了朝政,以宰相代表的南司完全服从于宦官之北司,进士中芳林十哲依靠宦官实力为其登科创造条件,正是当时宦官专政在选举方面的表现。

In the mid and late Tang dynasty juren formed cliques in which they tried hard to praise each other,and interfere with public comments. Anyone who wanted to pass the examinations,either born rich or poor,learned or not could hardly avoid being influenced. Jinshi cliques were accessory to political changes. Under the reign of Emperor Xuanzong,as the party struggle between Niu and Li came to an end,the eunuches had the control the government,The premier completely followed the eunuches. A good example is that ten persons of a jinshi clique successfully passed the examination with the help of eunuches.
