Imperial Examinations History Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 12:01:30

Not far from the Fūzǐ temple complex, this museum is a recent reconstruction of the building where scholars once spent months – or years – in tiny cells studying Confucian classics in preparation for civil-service examinations. The exhibition provides valuable insights into the over-exacting culture of Confucian officialdom in dynastic China.
