November 10, 1854, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom held "Heavenly Examination". Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had many criticisms toward Chinese culture, however, it immediately accepted the civil examination system. Civil examination system is already abolished though, its influences are still visible in many aspects in Chinese society and culture. Regarding civil examination's history, you may refer to our Bulletin: "From Civil Service Examinations to New Schools: Ts’e Lun and Knowledge Transformation in the Late Ch’ing Period, 1901-1905".
