  • ... that Juren was a rank awarded in imperial China for those who passed the provincial level of the civil examination system? [1]
    • ALT1:... that in 1630, less than 2.6% of 49,200 or so juren candidates was awarded that rank? Source: WP:AGF; someone with access should check ch. 3, "Circulation of Ming-Qing Elites" in Elman 2013
    • ALT2:... that in 1630, less than 3% of candidates were awarded the rank of juren, the second highest civil rank in imperial China? Source: "provincial examinations 'gold went to the provincial graduate [juren], and [only] silver to the palace graduate [jinshi],' because the competition was much keener in provinces. By 1630, about 49,200 candidates empire-wide, 45 percent less than in the 'High Qing,' triennially competed for 1,278 provincial degrees. Only 2.6 percent would succeed" Elman, 2013 and Bai & Jia, 2016, Figure 1, p. 683

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:   - I prefer ALT1 and have suggested a slightly different wording in ALT2
QPQ: None required.
Overall:   I confirm that the Elman, 2013 citation is accurate as is Bai & Jia, 2016. QPQ not needed -- new user. Qwj5377 This looks good to me with ALT2 as the preferred hook. QuakerSquirrel (talk) 18:15, 7 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

What is Chinese?

edit

Under the picture in the upper right corner is the caption -

Chinese 举人 Traditional Chinese 舉人 Simplified Chinese 举人

What makes Chinese 举人 different from the other two, especially fron Chinese 举人? 2001:9E8:256:A200:20D9:3A74:86CB:E6A1 (talk) 00:28, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

The infobox was confusing; thanks for pointing this out. I've corrected it to show simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese, which indeed are both Chinese. (They're the two main versions of the Chinese writing system.) —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 09:52, 22 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
