What is the imperial examination?
The imperial examination is the fastest and simplest way to climb the social ladder.
Scholars, peasants, artisans, and merchants, plus a warrior.
Merchants have always been at the bottom, no matter how rich they are, they cannot stand in the court. Perhaps they can collude with officials, bully and dominate the market, and become incredibly wealthy, but in public, they must always stay humble.
Peasant and artisan households, they are the most toilsome and overworked, as well as the most common and fundamental. It is said, ’The ruler is like a boat; the common people are like water. The water can carry the boat, but it can also capsize it.’ Yet, how many of those scholars actually care about the common people? The old Emperor and all the court ministers, who would truly concern themselves with the lives and deaths of dozens or hundreds of commoners?
As for the warriors, their strength can indeed bring many things: wealth, status, position, official titles, and so on. But Martial Artists stake their lives for it.
Be it in the worldly society or the officialdom, every Martial Artist must fight with their own strength.
