According to a different source, this question refers to the text "The Chinese Civil Service Exam System” by Ichisada Miyazaki.
In this text, we learn that the Chinese civil service examination system originated in Ancient China nearly fourteen hundred years ago. Therefore, it is one of the oldest examination systems in the world.
The system was intended to identify the most capable young men in China, and educate them so that they might become part of the government. However, this was a long, difficult and tedious process, and many students and tutors found useful shortcuts to learning.
