唐代“类明经”试策考述——“官人文学”研究之一

On the Examination Essays in Lei Ming Jing of the Tang Dynasty——One of the studies on"Literature of the Officicals

试策是唐代科举的重要试项 ,也是唐代文学的重要文体。唐人取士科目众多且复杂 ,类明经是明经系列中与明经科相联系和类似的专业性极强的科目 ,主要包括明法、明书、明算等科目 ,各科考试皆仿明经 ,但多有“专业”考试 ;其中有试策 ,而试“帖读”尤为一般论者所罕及。

The Examination Essay was not only an important item of the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Examination, but also an important literary form of the time. Few people have studied the question so far: the research on specific problems of the essay examination system adopted to select shi (scholar officials)at that time, therefore, has become the basis of, and the prerequisite to, the study of the question. The examination subjects for the selection of shi in the Tang Dynasty were so numerous and complicated that they require careful distinction and arrangement. Lei Ming Jing , a special subject of the series of Ming Jing , had connections with and similarities to Ming Jing Subject, which covered a variety of subjects. Every examination of these subjects imitated Ming Jing , but some examinations were 'specialized', and one of them has been discussed by few scholars. Lei Ming Jing had special significance in the Imperial Examinations of the Tang Dynasty.
