唐代“平判入等”考辨

Study on Pingpanrudeng of Tang Dynasty

试判为唐代重要选官活动和考试项目,也是唐代文学的重要文体,但其具体制度已不甚详明,甚至常被误解,"平判入等"即为其例。"平判"应是"平选试判"的简称,"平选"则是指常规铨选,"入等"是指平选试判成绩"佳者","平判"成绩"甚拙者"谓之"蓝缕"。在具体处置时前者"升"后者"降"。"平判入等"也被称为"科目",但与"科目选"有所区别。

Testing verdict was one of the important official selecting examinations,and the important literary form of Chinese classic literature.However,people often misunderstand the mechanism of Tang's testing verdicts,for example,Pingpanrudeng.Pingpan means testing verdict in Pingxuan,which was the normal official-selecting system.The testing verdict result included Rudeng(good) and Lanlv(bad),which decided their official position up or down.Pingpanrudeng was different with Kemuxuan.
