The Abolition Day of the Imperial Examination System in China
On September 2, 1905, six governors and governors, Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong, jointly played the imperial examinations to promote the new school and to pursue practical learning. Empress Dowager Cixi finally decided that since 1906, all Township Council examinations would be stopped, and the provincial year-old examinations would be stopped, and the Minister of education would issue various textbooks promptly, instructing all governors to make overall efforts, and Yanyu Prefecture and prefecture would quickly set up Mongolian primary schools everywhere in the town.
This day is also Zhang Zhidong’s birthday. He was born on September 2, 1837 in Xingyi Prefecture, Guizhou Province. His ancestral home is Nanpi, Zhili. At the age of sixteen, Zhongshun Tianfu Xieyuan, and at the age of twenty-seven, he explored flowers and gave them to Hanlin College for editing and repairing.
