摘要
唐五代童子科与汉魏南北朝时期的“童子郎”、“童子奉车郎”、“童子”等名号有着直接的渊源关系。唐代童子科是唐科举制度下的一个小科目 ,其面向的对象为十二岁以下的儿童。童子由诸道荐举或乡贡 ,礼部主持考试 ,有时皇帝亦亲自召见、策问。童子登第者一般都授官 ,由于其年纪尚轻 ,一般都会参加制举或吏部科目选 ,以加快晋升速度。五代童子科基本上沿袭了唐朝旧制 ,但在童子年龄、荐送和乡贡、考试内容及入仕等方面都作了一定的调整。唐五代童子科举的产生和发展与唐朝历代皇帝、大臣重视儿童教育紧密相关。唐五代社会教育体制的变迁与完善 ,为儿童教育提供了良好的教育环境。
The childrens section of imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was related in its sources with those offices in charge of examination in the Han,the Wei and the Northwern and Southern Dynasties.The Tang childrens section,a branch under the imperial examination system,was set up to grade young candidates aged 12 or under.As a rule,those who passed the imperial examination,especially the palace examination,would be conferred an official position,but because they were still young they had to sit for speedy promotion.The Five Dynasties basically followed the Tang Dynasty in their practising the imperial examination system,only making some adjustment in respects of age limit,recommendation,choice of candidates at the town level,items in test paper,the way to become an official,etc.The childrens section of the imperial examination rose and developed by leaps and bounds in the Tang and the Five Dynasties,because successive emperors,ministers throughout the dynasties attached great importance to putting the system into effect.The change and perfection of the social educational system in those dynasties furnished a good educational environment for childrens learning.
