Shiuon Chu's article in the International Journal of Asian Studies, volume 20, issue 2, published by Cambridge University Press in 2023, examines the 1905 decree abolishing China's imperial civil service examinations as the start of a longer, more contested process than the decree's own date suggests, showing that examination style credentials continued to carry weight for graduates of China's new schools for several years afterward under a parallel incentive program, and arguing that a more decisive ideological break with Confucian scholarly identity came only with reformers' campaigns in the 1910s.
