Where did you take the exam that year?

Due to the shortage of funds, borrow? Take the exam in the examination room

The whole examination institute is divided into two parallel axes, east and west, so there are two gates. Dongdaemun, now the main gate of CPPCC. Simon, which is now the gate of the municipal party Committee.

After entering, the most striking thing is the one built by 1933? Zhi Ming building? , that is, the city auditorium directly opposite the gate. It is reported that Zhi Ming Building was the examination room for civil servants at that time. There were originally two examination rooms in the middle of the building, one for each thing.

193 1 was the first time in the Republic of China that there was no special examination room due to insufficient funds? National examination? In the former Central University and Nanjing Middle School (now Southeast University and Ninghai Middle School).

Like the * * * compound of the Municipal Party Committee, there were guards at the entrance of the examination hall in those days, but the guards were not soldiers with guns, but soldiers dressed in classical costumes and swords.

Who can apply for the exam that year?

After graduating from college, anyone can take the exam, and nearly 3000 people signed up.

1931July 15, Nanjing national examination institute held the first national high examination, which was the first civil service examination.

Like the current national examination, the civil service examination in the Republic of China was also very popular. According to this book, nearly 3000 people signed up for the exam that year. Because only Nanjing has a test center, it attracts people from all over the country to take the test. For example, those who came to register by boat from Jiangxi and Hunan went to register after landing and haven't decided where to live. On average, four or five hundred people sign up every day. Because of the large number of people, the registration was originally scheduled to end on July 5, and was later extended by 5 days.

What kind of people can apply for the exam? Is there a regulation in the examination institute? Can anyone take the exam after graduating from college? That is, college students who graduated from public and private universities, independent colleges and junior colleges can take the exam. However, the application procedure in those days was much more complicated than now, and it had to go through registration, physical examination and qualification examination.

How long will it take?

Take the exam for 7 days in a row and enter the examination room at 4 am.

The current civil service exam is only one day, and many candidates complain that the national exam is a torment.

In contrast, is the civil service examination in the Republic of China a field? Tug of war? Candidates should not only work hard for their brains, but also for their physical strength.

According to the records, the exam lasted from July 15 to July 2 1. Meet at 4 o'clock every morning to call the roll. If you are late, you can't get in. Then we start at 6 o'clock, and each exam lasts for 3 hours, twice a day. We had to sit in the examination room for six hours every day for seven days.

[examination questions]

What subjects do you study?

Chinese, law, finance, etc. , but also to give a speech.

The content of the exam is more complicated. For example, ordinary administrative staff should take 12 courses, including Chinese, civil law, criminal law, administrative law, modern political history of China, finance, labor law, etc. Diplomats and consular officers also have professional examinations, and they have to take English or French. In addition to the written test, there is an oral test. Candidates should give two or one special speech, each time limited to 15 minutes. The purpose is to test the eloquence, attitude, ability, management and leadership experience of these people.

How to keep the exam questions secret?

Who is the questioner? Lock? Stay in the house for two months.

Whether it is the national exam or the Jiangsu provincial exam, the questioner should close the topic before the exam. The same is true of the civil service examination in the Republic of China.

According to the book, the examiner is responsible for the proposition, marking and other work, and is employed by the state, mostly domestic celebrities and scholars at that time. And their list is absolutely confidential in advance. After receiving the letter of appointment from the country * *, all members gathered in the country * * to hold an oath ceremony. Dai will personally lock the place of the proposition and seal it with a red paper with the seal of the examination institute. From then on, in the next two months, the examiners could not contact with the outside world and could not concentrate on drawing up the examination questions.

Similarly, chefs and staff should be isolated from the outside world and it is forbidden to deliver any public or private letters and telegrams. When the exam is over and the results are officially released, Dai will personally unblock and release the examiners who have been locked for two months.

Is the exam difficult?

Only 40 of the nearly 3000 people passed the exam, and none of the girls passed.

Due to the difficulty of the test proposition and the high grading standard, the number of people who finally passed the written test was pitiful, and only 40 people finally passed. Dai, then president of Nanjing Examinations Institute, personally gave the candidates a total score of 10 to the National People's Congress, and reluctantly accepted the students of 100.

Of these 65,438+000 people, 40% have worked, with an average age of 27 to 28. According to the records, none of these 65,438+000 qualified personnel are women.

In fact, there were 20 female candidates. After two tests, 12 people survived. I thought that one or two people would pass, but in the end, none of them persisted and all of them fell into Sun Shan. Later, the examination institute analyzed that it may be because female candidates are not as good as male candidates in terms of competition courage, calm on the spot, and multi-disciplinary coping.

The examination room of the former national examination institute:? Zhi Ming building?

From next year, the Nanjing Municipal Committee Courtyard at No.41in beijing east road and the CPPCC Courtyard at No.43 in beijing east road will be opened to the public regularly. These two courtyards were formerly known as the National Examination Institute.

1928 The National People's Congress * * * established five major courts: administrative, legislative, judicial, review and supervision. Dai was appointed president of the examination institute. Subsequently, he led the preparatory staff of the examination institute to inspect the site selection.

According to the book, Dai was attracted by the beautiful lakes and mountains in Jilong Mountain (also known as Arctic Pavilion) and immediately made a decision to set the address of the examination institute here. To this end, the surrounding area was also demolished. On the west side of Wu Temple, the Construction Department has formed Wu Temple, Temple and Normal School, Mountain Hall and Guanyin Temple Fair. Big market? Expropriation and construction of the Ming and Qing style ancient buildings, namely the National Academy of Sciences, from the Pearl River in the east to Jilongshan in the west. Zhi Ming building?
