科举制度与唐代社会文化的下移

On Imperial Examination and Relocation of Social Culture in the Tang Dynasty

科举发展至唐,导致了中国文化分层格局的大改观。开元天宝以后,随着科举制度的全面推进,崇尚进士与重文之风蔚然兴起,文化下移成为社会嬗变的一大亮点。私学炽盛,教育向民间推进的趋势加强,文学深入寻常百姓之家、文化受众的扩大,成为这一时期文化下移的显著标志。

At the time of the Tang Dynasty, imperial examination has generated the improvement of the culture stratification. After the High Tang period, literary ability was highly respected all around the society, which generated the phenomenon of culture relocation. And the population of old - style private school helped improving the population of literature among the mid and lower class at that time.
