Since the formation of China's feudal system, the feudal official selection system has undergone tremendous changes. From the Three Officials and Nine Ministers system in the Qin Dynasty, to the feudal official selection system in the Western Han Dynasty, which evolved from the filial piety and integrity examination system and the township and village selection system for officials in the Han Dynasty, to the Nine-Rank System in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, to the Three Departments and Six Ministries system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, to the continuation of the bureaucratic system and official positions in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and to the evolution of official positions in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China's feudal bureaucratic system has undergone a long and slow development, which played an important role in the emergence and finalization of China's feudal administrative system.References
