Abstract

Imperial examination in song Dynasty became the mainstream form for scholars to enter officialdom. Interestingly, compared with the Sui and Tang dynasties, the number of jinshi in the Song Dynasty not only increased, but also compared with the tang dynasty, most of the jinshi in the Song Dynasty were from the common class. Fan Zhongyan is one of the representatives of “sorrow before joy”. His early background and imperial examination experience all influenced his later official career and spiritual outlook. Combined with the cultural background of the change of the style of scholars in the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan had a certain profound influence on the bureaucrat class and social outlook of the northern Song Dynasty.

Fan Zhongyan is a symbol of the transformation of the style of the young scholars in the early Song Dynasty, His life experience is the epitome of the civilianization of jinshi in the Northern Song Dynasty. So the study of this subject should focus on him.

Taking Fan Zhongyan as an example, this paper tries to discuss the formation and influence of the civilianization of jinshi in the Northern Song Dynasty.
