Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]
This article is or was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Yixiang Li.
There seems to be some confusion as to what the subject is. It is not about the education or examination system. Define what the "literati" is (presumably "scholar-official" is meant here, or the broader idea of an educated elite), then go from there - what they do (their work, whether they be bureaucrats or not), their position and influence in society, their culture, what differences there may be compared to earlier dynasties, etc. Hzh (talk) 22:11, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
