Nitpick: eunuchs are one of several categories of individual barred from taking imperial exams. This is why they fought so bitterly with examination selected officials, who got by merit what they got through extreme sacrifice. In general, eligibility for officialdom could be very biased. Sometimes geographical discrimination was pervasive, other times, ethnic discrimination (nomadic dynasties tended to discriminate against Han, Han against nomadic ethnics, though being the supermajority, capable Han could usually find a place). Professional butchers and sorcerers were nearly always barred from taking examinations. Merchants, other artisans, clerks, and priests sometimes were disfavored as well. In general, a prostitute, beggar, vagrant, slave, or comedian would know better than to even show up. I don't have sourcing for this, but an undertaker would probably also be considered too ritually dirty to take part. Eunuchs have the same issue, but clever politicking can make up for formal exclusion, anywhere and everywhere. Of course positive discrimination also existed. High officials' children consistently did well, for what reason is left to the imagination. Sometimes explicit favoritism was written into law (legacy preference if you will), but other times, if you had family in high places, that just was very convenient in knowing what to write. But when all was said and done, it still is the case that very meritorious scholars of low birth could slip through and make careers of themselves. For those not officially discriminated against, but unable to benefit from family connections either, the broad middle classes in other words, there was always room to dream about a career in service to the Emperor.

"There was the beginning and there was a beginning even before there was the beginning, and there was a beginning before that beginning when there wasn't the beginning yet." Zhuangzi, 2
that contemplation between whether you should enjoy your quiet life farming and fishing, or accept the offer of a king that have persistently visited you THREE times, even though you had hoped that he will give up.
You're an ancient scholar, with no renown and born from a humble background. You have studied the classics and arts, now in your study room grinding the ink with thoughts of the upcoming imperial examination and what lies beyond that when you pass it. You thought of becoming an official, a loyal citizen of the dynasty that will serve it to repay what it has done for the common people, like you. You thought of being a general, one that has mastered the brush and sword, to serve on the borders and guard the dynasty from those who seek to conquer it. You thought of being a teacher, to open a school nearby your village, to enrich the common people and pave the way for future scholars like you, for the dynasty. You dipped the brush gently and soak it in ink adequately. With refined grace and calligraphy, you wrote on the paper in no hurry. Your thoughts and feelings conveyed in it, what aspirations and goals that you could achieve. The words flow smoothly, with a pace and rhythm as vibrant as the coming of the spring. Even the background noises are drowned out from your hearing as you continuously paint your future in this simple paper. Tears unknowingly drop, you expressed your life happily on it. You considered putting a namesign below to make it known to whoever shall read your piece of writing who you were. Contently, you just simply described yourself as... - *An ancient scholar of a past dynasty*

this reminds me of the spring from my youth. i remember walking around the west river in order to relieve my mind of the stress that came after taking the imperial examination. i remember having high hopes of the future, as i've seen some of my peers raise themselves to the top because of this examination. i remember seeing the emperor sitting there with a bored expression on his face, judging us students. I had taken the palace examination, which, looking back at it, wasn't too hard. The questions were all about the current state of affairs in china, and I tried my best to answer the questions much to the emperor's liking so i'd be one of the more higher ranking officials. I wasn't ill, but I was tired - I had taken departmental exams just recently. I still find myself to be very lucky. a few years later, I remember the emperor - zhenzong, if I remember correctly - had introduced quotas on our degrees. That spring, i looked at the willow trees swaying with the slight wind. The sky was blue, the sun was surprisingly warm. This was the first time I decided to stop and smell the flowers, telling myself that no matter what happens, I'll be okay. I thank you for this playlist.
PLEASE make another like this, I listen to all sorts of music of every kind, and this particular set of guoyue and such has made me the most focused and productive I have ever been! Wang Danhong's piece and "High Mountain and Flowing Water" are now some of my favourites in years

"I am a duck" cit. Baiyujing 47
Me when I catch a glimpse of a Chinese princess riding in a carriage while traversing through the market as a farmer selling my family's tea.
Pretty much a prompt that still exists with the invention of gaokao
most kinds of music don't work with my adhd brain, but this playlist does omg. it isn't just alright unintrusive background noise i can deal with it helps me FOCUS which is huge. thank you! I appreciate you! and I'll probably make up half the views from now on lol
This is perfect music when raeding wuxia kyaaa✨️👏😍
Getting straight As with this banger!!! 🗣🗣
this reminds me of the spring from my youth. i remember walking around the west river in order to relieve my mind of the stress that came after taking the imperial examination. i remember having high hopes of the future, as i've seen some of my peers raise themselves to the top because of this examination.
i remember seeing the emperor sitting there with a bored expression on his face, judging us students. I had taken the palace examination, which, looking back at it, wasn't too hard. The questions were all about the current state of affairs in china, and I tried my best to answer the questions much to the emperor's liking so i'd be one of the more higher ranking officials. I wasn't ill, but I was tired - I had taken departmental exams just recently.
I still find myself to be very lucky. a few years later, I remember the emperor - zhenzong, if I remember correctly - had introduced quotas on our degrees.
That spring, i looked at the willow trees swaying with the slight wind. The sky was blue, the sun was surprisingly warm. This was the first time I decided to stop and smell the flowers, telling myself that no matter what happens, I'll be okay.
I thank you for this playlist.
that magnificent feeling when you've completed a term of chinese studies abroad (and are still oblivious about your pronunciation's awfulness)
pov: you're rich enough to afford a book, private tutor, and private musicians, and hopefully making use of those resources well
These keep getting more and more specific
PLEASE make another like this, I listen to all sorts of music of every kind, and this particular set of guoyue and such has made me the most focused and productive I have ever been! Wang Danhong's piece and "High Mountain and Flowing Water" are now some of my favourites in years
I could feel the scholars next to me passing the imperial examination while listening to this and studying
When the Yangtze minor dispute happened,killing 40 million people,driving four species to extinction but this banger came out.
This video found me at the perfect moment, I'm at work and mentally exhausted, this music is like a breath of fresh air ❤
my chinese exam was yesterday and this shows up in my recommended today
Just used this to help me concentrate on writing a allowed cheat sheet for my tomorrow's test for a course
thank you needed this for a late french essay to write
I've been looking for calming videos such as this for me to do working in background such as editing,sewing or cleaning ❤
I feel like I'm completing work with a tutor I've had respect and admire and a secret crush 😊
WE BOUT TO MEMORIZE EVERY LAW, WORD FOR WORD
Thanks friend on the other side.
This is perhaps exactly what I looked for studying.
This is honestly the best study music ever omg
Born to serve the people in the imperial court forced to learn calculus
Listening to this made me start 说中文哈哈 😂
Hopefully with the aid of these masterfully composed melodies, my studies may elevate me to the position of a trusted scholar-gentry...
