The imperial examination system is a system of selecting talents based on examination results. This system is a great invention of Chinese rulers. Yang Jian, the founder of the Sui Dynasty, ended China's 300-year-long North-South split and was ambitious to build a strong and long-term empire. Therefore, a suitable talent selection system must be established to end the patriarchal politics in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This is why the imperial examination system was born.Later rulers of the Tang Dynasty, including Li Shimin and Wu Zetian, inherited and improved this system. At the same time, due to the great influence of the Chinese Empire on East Asia, Japan, Korea peninsula, Vietnam and other countries have also followed this system. In 1919, the last imperial examination in history ended in Vietnam. But this does not mean the end of the system. On the contrary, it continues to evolve and widely exists in today's East Asia.

Starting from the Yongjia Rebellion and the Jin family's southward crossing, China fell into a nearly 300 year north-south split, which was ended by the military aristocrat Yang Jian from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yang Jian's father, Yang Zhong, was a military nobleman in the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Zhong was granted the title of Duke Sui, and Yang Jian inherited his father. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Xuandi succeeded to the throne, taking Yang Jian as the kingdom of the upper pillar and the Great Sima, with a rising prestige. In 581, Yang Jian was abdicated to the throne by Emperor Jing of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the reign(年号) was changed into "Kaihuang(开皇, Kai means begin and huang means emperor)".
In 588, Yang Jian led Yang Guang out of Liuhe, Yang Jun out of Xiangyang, and Yang Su led the water army out of Yong'an. A total of 518000 troops attacked Chen. In December, Yang Su smashed Chen's garrison along the Yangtze River and headed east along the river. On February 2, 589, Han Qinhu attacked Jiankang City and captured Chen Shubao, resulting in the demise of the Chen Dynasty. Before long, the Chen troops in various regions were either surrendered under the orders of Empress Chen or combatted to death, but only the Lingnan region was defended by Madam Xian. On September 21, 590, Wei Guang, an envoy of the Sui Dynasty, and others comforted Lingnan. Madam Xian led the crowd to welcome the Sui envoy, and the Lingnan prefectures were known as the land of the Sui Dynasty. At this point, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which lasted for 300 years in Chinese history, ended and China was finally unified.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty carried out a series of reforms in political and economic systems. He revised the criminal law and system to suit China after the unification of the north and the south. Yang Jian implemented a system of three provinces and six ministries in the central government, changed the local three-level system of states, counties, and counties into a two-level system of states and counties, thereby consolidating centralized power. Tax cuts have been made many times to reduce the burden on the people, which promoted national agricultural production, and stabilized economic development. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty adopted military defense and political appeasement policies towards the surrounding ethnic groups, effectively addressing ethnic conflicts, and was revered as the "Saint Khan" by the northern ethnic minorities. During the Kaihuang period, the Sui Dynasty had a vast territory and a population of over 7 million households. During the 24 years of the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, he was determined to reform and achieved outstanding political achievements. But in the late years of his reign, he became increasingly suspicious and killed meritorious officials. On August 13, 604, Yang Jian passed away at the Renshou Palace. He died at the age of 64, with the temple name of Gaozu and the posthumous title of Emperor Wen, and was buried at the Tai Mausoleum.
Just like the Qin Shi Huang, who first brought China from secession to unification, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, tried to establish a long-term unified empire, but the Sui Dynasty, like the Qin Dynasty, was ended by the second emperor. Yang Guang seems to be a perfect heir to the dynasty. He was handsome, intelligent, and of good character. He was also an important general in the Sui Dynasty when the Chen Dynasty was wiped out. However, his obstinacy and overly inflated ambitions ultimately destroyed him and his dynasty. In the late Sui Dynasty, rebellions continued throughout the country, and the Li Yuan family from Longxi became the ultimate winner. Like the Han Dynasty, which replaced the Qin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was a strong and long-lasting dynasty. To this day, China's main ethnic group still claims themselves to be "Han people" and "Tang people.".
