jan 1, 165 BC - Civil Service Exam – (Introduced c. 165 BCE)

Description:

The Han Dynasty institutionalized the civil service exam, selecting officials based on Confucian learning rather than aristocratic birth. This meritocratic system promoted education and created a class of scholar-bureaucrats who governed the empire. It became a model for governance in East Asia and lasted (with interruptions) until the early 20th century.
