再论科举学研究的现实意义——侧重谈对高考改革的历史借鉴

Rethinking the Practical Significance of the Imperial Examination Studies

科举作为中国历史上影响最大的一种人才选拔制度早已在百年前退出历史舞台,但考试选才这种方式依然存在,科举学因此具有强烈的现实性。科举“追求至公”具有超越时代的先进性与普适性;科举促进社会流动对改善当今社会结构具有积极示范意义;科举立法缜密确保考试权威公正亟待当今考试法治借鉴。科举学研究的现实意义不仅体现在对当今教育考试制度建设的启发借鉴上,还可延展到教育乃至政治领域的许多方面,从科举的公平性、社会流动、考试立法等角度谈古论今,仅是科举学研究的现实意义之“冰山一角”。

As the most influential talent selection system in history,the imperial examination has long been out of the stage of history,but the way of talent selection still exists.Hence,the imperial examination studies are therefore highly realistic.Typically,the idea of"pursuit of supreme equity"in imperial examination had the advanced nature and universality that transcend the times,and the promotion of social mobility by it has positive exemplary significance for improving the social structure nowadays.The meticulous legislation of the imperial examination system to ensure the authority of the examination,is exactly needed as the reference for the present educational examination system.Moreover,the practical significance of imperial examination studies is not only reflected in the inspiration for the construction of today's education examination system,but also can be extended to many aspects of education and even politics.On the whole,from the perspective of equity,social mobility,and examination legislation,it is only a"tip of the iceberg"of the practical significance of imperial examination studies.
