Abstract

During the Ming and Qing dynasties when the imperial examination system was prosperous, no matter the number or rank of chin-shihes, there was a big gap between Gansu and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other educationally developed places, its education level was relatively backward. Under the historical conditions of relatively backward local education, not only in order to show their political achievements and spread fame, but also to promote the development and to change the backward situation of local education, the local chroniclers with relatively low educational level, they were far-fetched and included historical figures not related to the local into the local chronicles. Therefore, the controversy about the native place of chin-shihes emerged.
