Suzhou Zhuangyuan Museum exhibits materials on outstanding students from Suzhou

In China, a "Zhuangyuan" is someone who passed the "Jinshi" exam at the top of the "Imperial Examinations," an examination for civil servants that ran from the Sui dynasty until the end of the Qing dynasty. It seems that many Zhuangyuan came from Suzhou, and here is a museum that displays the history and valuable materials of Zhuangyuan from Suzhou. What I found interesting was that there was a display of cheat sheets used during exams 😂 The letters were about 1mm in size, so I wonder if they could have been seen during the exam, but it was interesting to see if cheating has been done in all eras 😁 📍Suzhou Zhuangyuan Museum ☑︎Address Intersection of Lindun Road and Qianjia Lane, Gusu District, Suzhou City ☑︎Opening hours 9:00-16:30 *Subject to change ☑︎Closed on Mondays ☑︎Admission fee Free ☑︎Access About a 4-minute walk from Lindun Road Station on Subway Line 1 #SuzhouTourism #China #Suzhou #SuzhouTrip #ChinaTourism #ChinaTrip
