China Imperial Examination Museum

The most worth seeing is the Imperial Examination Museum in Confucius Temple. I think it ranks first in this trip to Nanjing. It turns out that this four-story museum is completely built underground. Looking from above, there is a pool of water. The first thing you see when you enter the door is very creative. If you don't make a strategy in advance, this attraction can be easily overlooked. The first floor you arrive at is the bottom floor. The simulated starry sky and dynamic carriages on the top of the central hall really shocked me. Then you go up floor by floor to visit. It mainly talks about the evolution of the imperial examination. There are also many test papers from the original imperial examination. The fonts are really beautiful, and each one is as formal as a printed version. On the bottom floor, there is also a place for children to interact. I don't want to leave. Especially at the last exit, I saw the original imperial examination place. Every time I took the exam, I stayed in such a small grid with ventilation on one side for several days. It was really not easy. I really got a new understanding of the imperial examination. I also saw the information of Shen Shandeng, a juren in Jiaxing, which was also an unexpected gain.

The China Imperial Examination Museum is like a long-forgotten treasure box buried deep underground. You need to go down the ramp. The entire ramp is 130 meters long, symbolizing the 1,300-year history of the imperial examination system. On the left side of the ramp is a vast tile wall, with layers of tiles like fish scales, which means "fish and dragons transform" and "fish leaping over the dragon gate"; on the right side of the ramp is a bamboo wall, symbolizing that the imperial examination candidates must read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

As soon as we entered the Confucius Temple Pedestrian Street, we turned to the Jiangnan Gongyuan Imperial Examination Museum. In fact, there are two parts, one is the Jiangnan Gongyuan on the Qinhuai River, and the other is the Imperial Examination Museum we entered. We went in by chance, because the street was too crowded and we wanted to find a place to visit first. Unexpectedly, it was a pleasant surprise! The Imperial Examination Museum is very special, with a total of four floors, all located underground. The architectural style is unique, and the dreamy sound and light means are used very well. It tells traditional stories in the most modern way. It seems that Jiangsu is indeed a province with strong science and technology and a great humanities province. The simulated starry sky is very beautiful.

The main part of the museum is underground. I remember it has four floors. From the entrance, you can slowly go downhill and reach more than ten meters underground. It introduces the past and present of China's imperial examination system in detail.

The visit takes 2 hours (if you don’t like this kind of thing, you can skip the North Courtyard. The scenery in the South Courtyard is suitable for taking photos, but it is still interesting to read the stories from ancient times).

The Imperial Examination Museum is in Confucius Temple. Fortunately, it opens quite late, so you can visit Qinhuai and the museum at night. The Imperial Examination Museum is divided into two courtyards. It was very cold that day. I walked around the corridor of the museum again and again, step by step, and it was probably a "return". Is this for us to have a little understanding of the difficulties of the students at that time? There is almost no heating in the museum. I think I should wear the thickest cotton shoes. The most people in the imperial examination are from Jiangsu!

The location is very close to where I live. It is on Gongyuan Street. I have nothing to do in the evening, so I go to Jiangnan Gongyuan first. I thought there was only one Gongyuan and a lantern show. I thought that even if it was a student ticket of 25 yuan, the ticket price was too worthless. Later I found out that there is also a Nanjing Chinese Imperial Examination Museum in the south. It introduces a lot of knowledge about the imperial examination. It is very comprehensive. I learned a lot inside. I recommend it. The night view of Mingyuan Tower is also a very good view.

I bought a combined ticket for Jiangnan Gongyuan + Imperial Examination Museum + Mingyuan Tower. I personally think that the Imperial Examination Museum is a very worthwhile attraction to visit slowly. It is very impressive. There are four floors underground. Each floor has a different theme. It introduces various knowledge related to the imperial examination in detail. Pictures and animations can also answer questions. The figures are very lifelike. It feels like a place that pays attention to details.

The first time I saw the Imperial Examination Museum was on the screen saver of my Huawei phone. At that time, I didn’t know it was in Nanjing. During this trip to Nanjing, I browsed the scenery along the Qinhuai River on Ctrip and saw the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall. I quickly bought a ticket to visit it. The first thing that caught my eye was the familiar yet unfamiliar picture. The museum is cleverly designed, with two entrances separated by a street. After entering the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, you will enter the steps leading to the underground. There are imitation bamboo slips and stacked tiles on both sides as decoration, symbolizing that there is a path to the mountain of books and there is no end to the sea of ​​learning. There is also a restored examination room. The candidates in the small compartments probably want to make a leap. "No one cares about me for ten years, but I will be famous all over the world once I pass the exam."

We bought the ticket online for 45 yuan, which is highly recommended. First, we visited the ruins of Xiagongyuan along the Qinhuai River, then visited the Imperial Examination Museum across the road, and finally the ruins of Mingyuan Tower.



Jiangnan Gongyuan was first built in 1168 (the fourth year of Emperor Qiandao's reign in the Song Dynasty). During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Jiangnan Gongyuan reached its peak. There were 20,644 examination rooms alone, plus hundreds of ancillary buildings, covering an area of ​​more than 300,000 square meters. Its large scale and wide area rank first among all the Gongyuans in the country, and it is the largest examination hall in ancient China. Jiangnan Gongyuan Chinese Imperial Examination Museum is the only professional museum in China that reflects the Chinese imperial examination system. It is the Chinese Imperial Examination System Center, the Chinese Imperial Examination Culture Center, and the Chinese Imperial Examination Cultural Relics Collection Center. The museum has free explanations, and it is recommended to follow along. The museum is completely built underground and is a little cold. The museum goes down from the ground, with a total of 4 floors and 130 meters, and one meter is equivalent to ten years, which just implies the 1,300-year history of the imperial examination. After walking through the museum, you have also walked through the 1,300-year history of the imperial examination.

The Imperial Examination Museum is the former Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall, not far from the Confucius Temple. It is the largest examination hall in the country, and contains many cultural relics related to the imperial examination, which are very vivid.

This is the first time I have seen such a sunken museum, it is very novel. The content inside is also very comprehensive, detailing the beginning, rise and fall of the Chinese imperial examination system and its impact on the contemporary Chinese and world examination systems.

The China Imperial Examination Museum is one of the few indoor attractions that is open until 10pm. If your daytime schedule is full, you can come and visit at night.

The Chinese Imperial Examination Museum was converted from the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall into Shangbang and expanded from it. The Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall was the largest imperial examination hall in ancient China. In its heyday, it could accommodate more than 20,000 candidates to take the exam at the same time. Its scale and area were the largest among all the imperial examination halls in various provinces in China, and it was the largest imperial examination hall in ancient China.

In the long history of the imperial examination, there have been more than 800 champions, more than 100,000 Jinshi, and millions of Juren. The number of people involved in the imperial examination is too numerous to mention. They have long been influenced by Confucian classics, and have the ambition to "cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world", and pursue the ideal of "all under heaven". This is a great contribution of China to the world in the field of spiritual civilization, which can be compared with the four great inventions in the field of material civilization. Therefore, scholars call the imperial examination China's "fifth invention".

The China Imperial Examination Museum is located on the east side of the Confucius Temple in Qinhuai District, Nanjing, in the core area of ​​the Confucius Temple Qinhuai Scenic Belt. It is the center of the Chinese imperial examination system, the center of the Chinese imperial examination culture, and the center of the collection of Chinese imperial examination cultural relics. The museum has been opened to the public, including the three underground floors of the museum, Mingyuan Tower, Zhigong Hall, Haoshe, stele carvings, and Kuiguang Pavilion in Nanyuan on the ground, including 11 exhibition halls. It is the only underground museum in China.

Located in the downtown area of ​​​​Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River, it is crowded at night and it should be okay to pay to go in and take pictures.

The Imperial Examination Museum has Chinese characteristics and Chinese history.

Located in the Qinhuai River area, it was closed in the evening, so I looked at it from a distance.

We bought the Confucius Temple package, on the one hand, it was cheaper, and on the other hand, it was convenient. In the end, we finally found the ticket pick-up point, but the staff made a mistake. I don’t know how it is managed. Why can’t we just swipe our ID card to enter? Or we can go to the ticket center to handle it together. I still get angry when I think about it now!

I have no interest in history, so I looked at the night view outside. It's pretty good.

The Imperial Examination Museum is worth a visit. The building is nice and the content is also good~

We bought tickets on China-TravelNote one day in advance, which was a little cheaper. I felt that the Imperial Examination Museum was pretty good. We also bought a guide. There were small cubicle experiences, test papers, and test simulations inside. It was worth a visit. The walls were all designed with scrolls, which looked particularly spectacular.

It is really highly recommended. Mingyuan Tower is also here. Here you can learn a lot of history and culture, and know the evolution of China's imperial examination system. I walked around in it for a long time and felt that I had not finished. The museum is really large. Please note that you should follow the descending passage all the way to the entrance of the underground fourth floor of the Imperial Examination Museum. You should visit it from bottom to top. First, go down to the underground fourth floor and visit it layer by layer. First, you arrive at the Imperial Examination Family Mansion Archway. Passing through this archway, China's 1,300-year imperial examination time journey begins. Next to it is a name stamp with a time mark. You can find the characters in the name to form a name stamp. I bought it. The quality is very good and I like it very much. The 2-character one is 99 yuan, the 3-character one is 109 yuan, and the 4-character one is 119 yuan. I think the two-character name is a bit uneconomical, haha!

The museum is really cool, with rich content and unique architecture. All the exhibition halls are underground, and there are pools of water on the ground. There are four underground floors;

Going there at night has a different flavor and is definitely worth a visit.

Contains three major areas:

Main Museum, Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall, Mingyuan Tower

The main building and Mingyuan Building are in the same area

Jiangnan Gongyuan is opposite and requires a separate ticket to enter

Gongyuan is best visited in the evening.

I went in by accident. I thought the 50-yuan ticket was too cheap. I ended up walking around and spent the whole afternoon there. It is really worth a visit. I didn't know why I had seen people recommend this place until I went in.

A set of images of the promotion path of poor students who studied hard and made their dreams possible through their own efforts

There are free tour guides in the museum, but they have fixed start times. It is recommended that you follow the tour guide to visit first, you will find it really interesting. The tour guide only explains the fourth underground floor. After listening to the tour guide's explanation, you can appreciate the collections from the beginning.

Seeing the test papers of ancient people, I feel really ashamed. The handwriting of ancient scholars was really beautiful.

The Imperial Examination Museum is a museum worth visiting. It contains information about the history of the imperial examination and the design of the museum itself. It is located underground and has a strong sense of architectural design. It is a very good spot and is highly recommended. Please set aside two to three hours to walk around slowly and watch some introductory videos inside. I highly recommend the Imperial Examination Museum.

The Imperial Examination Museum mainly displays some exhibits related to the imperial examinations of past dynasties, such as the examination papers of the imperial examinations in the past. If you have time, you can slowly look at them there and do some ancient Chinese reading comprehension, which is also quite interesting. And the building itself, in the passage before entering the museum, has a lot of walls made of tiles and imitation bamboo slips. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder look really empty!

This museum is open until 10 p.m.

It is a rare museum that is open at night.

Start the tour from the negative fourth floor

The arrangement is good

Learned a lot of knowledge

There are many machines that can be interactive.

It's also great to participate

There are many small TVs in the venue playing video animations telling the history

The storytelling format is great

China's largest underground museum, an unexpected surprise!!! Highly recommended, a very attentive museum, worth a second visit, so beautiful!

This is the place where we used to take exams. It’s very small. Just take some photos at the door.

As a liberal arts student, I have a passion for history, so I spent a long time in the museum, walking slowly and reviewing the knowledge that the teacher had taught me. It was great!

This is probably the most interesting museum I have ever been to, and I learned a lot. The museum is suitable for walking slowly, rather than taking pictures all the way.

There were nothing but mountains of people and a sea of ​​people, and it felt like I was drowning in the crowd.

This is the place where ancient people took exams! Students who are taking the college entrance exams can come here to make a wish! Just walk in and play around!

The China Imperial Examination Museum was renovated and expanded from the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall, which was the largest imperial examination hall in ancient China. The museum opened in 2017 and has one floor above ground and four floors underground. Tickets are 50 yuan, including the north and south areas. Tickets for the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall in the south area are sold separately for 25 yuan.

Jiangnan Gongyuan is at the entrance of the Qinhuai River Scenic Belt of Confucius Temple. It takes about ten minutes to walk from Confucius Temple Station. The museum ticket is 50 yuan, and it is recommended to buy a combined ticket. Confucius Temple is said to be a free 5A scenic spot, but it is actually quite large. The antique-style commercial street in the middle is free to go (if you don't buy anything), and there are many attractions in between. Ticket offices are set up at the entrance of each attraction. Combined tickets can reduce the trouble of queuing to buy tickets, and there will be discounts. The Imperial Examination Museum is 50 yuan per ticket. The main exhibition area is located underground. It is also a very interesting experience to see the examination room of the ancients during the imperial examination. The historical documents about the imperial examination are very comprehensive.

It is located between Qinhuai River, Confucius Temple and Confucius Temple Food Street. There are several scenic spots in this area. However, Jiangnan Gongyuan and Confucius Temple are charged separately.

I feel that the design of this place is really thoughtful and beautiful. It is more rewarding to watch the content carefully. Hahahaha, but I don't have the patience to read them carefully one by one. I just took a quick look.

Very good.

It looks very grand from the outside, and it is also a beautiful experience to walk inside. It is well designed and I learned a lot about the imperial examination. It is worth a visit!

It was first built in the fourth year of Qiandao period of the Song Dynasty (1168) and is the largest and most influential imperial examination center in Chinese history.

The Imperial Examination Hall at night adds a bit of the scene of ancient students studying under lamplight at night. The reflection in the water is like a time machine, as if you can travel back to that era by jumping into it.

This is amazing! The Imperial Examination Museum is rich in content, with unique architecture, and is fun to look at. The top scholar's handwriting is really beautiful. A must-see attraction in Nanjing.

Go east to Jiangnan Gongyuan, the largest imperial examination hall in ancient China. At its largest, it had 20,644 examination rooms. Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, Wen Tianxiang, Wu Jingzi, Yuan Mei, Lin Zexu, Shi Naian, Fang Bao, Deng Tingzhen, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Chen Duxiu, etc. were all candidates or examiners here. Today, only Mingyuan Building, Gongyuan Stele and other important cultural relics and historical sites are preserved in Jiangnan Gongyuan. 40 examination rooms used by candidates during the examination, four treasures of the study, oil lamps, food boxes, and statues of candidates have been rebuilt. Mingyuan Building was originally located in the center of Gongyuan. It was a service center used to monitor candidates and provide them with help outside the examination papers. It is now the gate of the Gongyuan Exhibition Hall.

You can enter after buying the Confucius Temple package. I didn't look forward to it at first, but after entering, I found that this museum is really cool. All the exhibition halls are underground, and there is pool water on the ground. There are four floors underground. First go down to the negative fourth floor for a visit. When you finish following the route, the escalator is right in front of you. At the entrance of the exhibition hall is a dynamic wall of the number room, which uses animation to introduce what the candidates at that time were doing in their rooms (also the examination room). Thousands of people have thousands of faces, each is different. Entering the negative fourth floor, visitors are greeted by a three-sided wall of meteors. It feels like being in the starry sky when you walk in. It is so beautiful. Under the starry sky are neatly arranged books, implying that knowledge is like the vast stars and has infinite charm. Since the theme of the imperial examination is not very rich, the items in the museum did not leave a deep impression on me. But being in this magical semi-open-air building, rising from the ground little by little, that feeling is very satisfying. There is an answering area on the last floor. If you answer all three questions correctly, you can take a group photo on the wall, haha. Walking out of the underground, we went straight to the Mingyuan Building, which belongs to the museum, to see the housing. The Mingyuan Building and the housing are elegant and quiet under the lights at night. Berlin has 400 museums and a prosperous culture. No city in China has such a large museum group. But Nanjing is the city with the richest museums and the best interactive experience that I know of, so I think its cultural development will definitely be better than many big cities. It is a precious thing to dare to allocate important land to art that does not make money.

It is a place worth visiting, it is both entertaining and educational. Here you can feel as if the Chinese people in those days stepped into the imperial examination hall for their own destiny and future.

The unique architecture (imitating ancient scrolls), the collections in the museum, and the animated short film introducing the ancient Chinese imperial examination system are quite interesting and definitely worth the price of the ticket.

The museum is designed to be a long-sealed treasure box. It is the first time to enter a museum in such a unique way. Visitors need to go down along the 130-meter ramp that symbolizes the 1,300-year history of the imperial examination system and start the tour from the fourth underground floor.



On the left side of the ramp is a fish-scale wall made of tiles, and on the right side is a wall made of bamboo slips. Although the museum is built underground, it can sense the changes in light and shadow from the outside world. Looking up at the crack of sky, it is like a frog at the bottom of a well, as if only by studying hard can one climb out and see the outside world.



Along the ramp, there are 10 subjects engraved, such as "clean conduct" and "excellent academic performance". The exhibition hall is divided into layers according to the historical changes of the imperial examination system, from the Sui Dynasty to the college entrance examination system that is still in use today. In the past, when visiting a museum, I looked down through the glass, but this museum allowed me to look straight ahead, bringing the history that was blocked by the glass to me layer by layer.



In the past, if you did not do your homework before visiting a museum, you would not be able to understand it. The traditional museum visiting mode often only involves seeing and listening, and you see through the glass and listen with headphones.



The interesting thing about this museum is that it is no longer a museum that only displays cultural relics, but more like a contemporary art gallery. It allows people to understand history through more interesting installations. Even if they have not done any homework, they can still learn new knowledge after a visit.

When visiting a museum, people often feel bored because the exhibition halls are arranged in a monotonous way, the explanations are boring, and the cultural relics cannot speak. However, the Imperial Examination Museum has avoided this problem by turning many two-dimensional cultural relics into three-dimensional scenes.



TIPS

The museum is near the Confucius Temple. Because the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai River are must-see attractions, there are many tourists and a strong commercial atmosphere. On that day, I saw many tourists who did not come in because they had never heard of the museum's fees, so they came here to avoid the crowds.



This is a rare museum that is open until 10 pm, so you can plan your trip in the evening and go at mealtime when there are least people.

Jiangnan Gongyuan plays an important role in the imperial examination. It is the Gongyuan with the largest number of high-school students. The cultural atmosphere of Jiangnan region is really accumulated. The Imperial Examination Museum starts from the fourth floor below ground and gradually introduces the imperial examination system. The venue has various design elements and is not boring at all.

Imperial Examination Museum ¥45/person (student tickets are available)

The Imperial Examination Museum is the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall, which displays imperial examination plaques from various dynasties and some items related to the imperial examination, which is of great educational significance.

The Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall is divided into two parts, the southern and northern courtyards. The southern courtyard is ancient and quaint, and is located along the Qinhuai River. The northern courtyard is quite large and the main structure is underground. The tour starts from the fourth floor underground and goes up step by step. The content is very rich, with many multimedia displays, which is quite spectacular. You can learn about the imperial examination system in detail. It feels good and is worth watching.

I didn’t have enough time to visit Nanjing this time, but the building looks quite unique just from the outside. I think the view will be even more beautiful at night!

It's a very interesting museum. You should really set aside two or three hours to slowly explore it. I spent an hour and a half on the tour, which was quite rushed. I didn't get to see many things I wanted to take a closer look at.

It is a museum that will not make you feel bored. When visiting, you should first go to the fourth floor below ground, and then go up one floor at a time. There is a very good documentary on the fourth floor below ground, which reveals the development trajectory of China's imperial examination system. It is played every half hour. Friends who are interested should not miss it!

The exhibition hall of Gongyuan is very large and is mainly divided into two parts. It takes one and a half hours to visit, and the exhibition content is rich and not boring.

All things are inferior, only reading is superior.

Some people say that a person is noble not because he endures hardship.

Rather, he could endure hardships for the sake of future generations, not for fame and fortune, but for the comfort of the common people. They formulated systems and wrote rich poems, allowing us to see beautiful scenery without saying "wow, the sky is so blue", but "spring is late, and the flowers and trees are lush". They taught us that love can turn reeds and white dew into frost. They taught us that loyalty and courage can make us never return until we have conquered Loulan.

There is a sculpture of a little man sitting in a daze, which probably gives me this feeling.

It's well worth a visit. We three spent more than two hours wandering around the museum.

This was once the largest imperial examination hall in China and the only underground museum in China. The overall architectural design is very strong, closely integrated with scientific and technological means, full of novelty, and you won't feel bored while learning about the history of the imperial examination. The museum is very large and you need to reserve two to three hours. There are three or four floors in total. You have to go underground first and then slowly visit the upper floors. You must not miss it!

The China Imperial Examination Museum is also a museum recommended by many people to visit, and it feels quite interesting.

It tells the story of the evolution of the entire imperial examination system and records major events.

Children who are about to take exams or take the college entrance examination will come here to pray for a good omen. They can see the Qinhuai scenery. It's great.

In fact, there is really nothing to see inside, but they still sell tickets

You can experience the atmosphere and hardship of the imperial examination and learn a lot of knowledge.

I passed by and asked for a ticket, but after thinking about it I didn't go in.

The China Imperial Examination Museum and Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall are located on the left and right, and one ticket is valid for both. You can take your time to experience the charm of Jiangnan. The building is very distinctive, with the wall surface decorated with scrolls and fish-scale-shaped tiles.

The Imperial Examination Hall is located next to the Qinhuai River. It displays various examination tools and papers of candidates in the Ming and Qing dynasties. To be honest, if you are not interested in the imperial examination, you don't have to come. It doesn't feel worth it. The only thing that attracted me was that the temple was extremely quiet. I could lean on the railing and quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qinhuai without having to squeeze with the crowds on Confucius Temple Street.

Jiangnan Gongyuan is located in Confucius Temple and is one of the more famous buildings in Confucius Temple. It is easy to find, just on both sides of the road. The Gongyuan is not very large, but it still preserves some of the shapes of the ancient people's cubicles when they took the imperial examinations. Basically, you can go in and walk around for 20 to 30 minutes and then come out. It is not a very large place, but it is still worth visiting.



The most important thing is that you can buy a combined ticket with the Imperial Examination Museum, so the cost-effectiveness is relatively high. The Imperial Examination Museum and Jiangnan Gongyuan are just opposite each other. It is recommended that people who come to Jiangnan Gongyuan must go to the Imperial Examination Museum opposite to have a look, because that place can really give people a lot of surprises. It is a relatively large museum.

When the lights are on at night, the daytime is a little less beautiful. I arrived at around 4pm. I thought it would be very busy at first, but it was open until 9pm, so I had plenty of time. I felt the imperial examination system. Compared with modern times, the ancient imperial examination was stricter than the current one. The process was complicated and there were few places. It was time for dinner, and I was really hungry. The museum visit time was relatively rushed. Maybe I was too greedy for the beautiful scenery of the Gongyuan River and spent too much time. Overall, it is still worth going.

Jiangnan Gongyuan was first built during the Southern Song Dynasty. It is located on the Qinhuai River in the south of Nanjing, adjacent to the Confucius Temple, and is part of the entire Confucius Temple complex. Jiangnan Gongyuan is the largest imperial examination venue in ancient China and one of the main architectural complexes in the Confucius Temple area. Interested friends can go in and take a look. I didn't go in, but just looked outside. Every ten minutes at night, people wearing ancient costumes will come out to show off in Jiangnan Gongyuan, and each show lasts about 10 seconds.

I have been to Nanjing so many times, but this is the only time I felt that the 40 yuan ticket was worth it. I highly recommend it.

This place is suitable for friends who love photography. You can take good pictures here. The lighting effect is good. O(∩_∩)O~

Located in the Confucius Temple-Qinhuai Scenic Area, you need to buy a separate ticket.

This was the most powerful imperial examination academy in the country during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Candidates from Jiangsu and Anhui provinces came here to take the provincial examinations, and there were many talented candidates.

Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall and Confucius Temple are both near the Qinhuai River.

A good attraction where you can gain in-depth understanding of the changes in China's imperial examination system!

It is recommended to go there at night. It would be a pity if you don't see the night view.

I didn't go in, but the exterior looks pretty good~~~~ If you're interested, you can go in and take a look

Even if you haven't heard of Jiangnan Gongyuan, you must have memorized in your high school history textbook that "China's imperial examination system is an ancient examination system for selecting talents, which has a history of more than a thousand years."

The Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall was the largest imperial examination hall in ancient China, and it produced countless top students, such as Tang Bohu, Zheng Banqiao, Wen Tianxiang, Wu Jingzi, as well as Lin Zexu, Shi Naian, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, etc., who were all candidates or examiners of the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall.

Being in such a "key and prestigious school", a poor student like me also felt the atmosphere of the ancient academic masters.
