Students'school performance can be evaluated through two means, namely, homework and examination. This paper, intending to demonstrate that a rather sound system of local education and examination had been established in the Ming Dynasty, makes a comprehensive investigation and summary of the examination system of local schools in the Ming Dynasty from the following aspects: the daily homework and the monthly examination given by school teachers;the quarterly examination administered by the governors of prefectures, states and counties;and the yearly examination administered by the Minister of the Dynasty. Then it goes further to point out that this set of examination system had become somewhat externalism after mid-Ming Dynasty.
