Keju was an ancient examination system. It began in the Sui Dynasty and lasted for 1,300 years until/till it ended in the Qing Dynasty. It was of great importance (important) in choosing excellent people to work for the country. The keju examinations were mainly about classical literature(文学). Poetry was very important in earlier keju exams,and later they paid more attention (attend) to writing. The examination was held once (one) every three years. And it was made up of 4 levels：the county examination(童生试),the provincial examination(乡试),the metropolitan examination(会试) and the palace examination. The palace examination was the most difficult (difficult) among the 4 levels. Students had to pass the lowest level first in order to take part in its (it) higher level. Each examination would take 1 to 3 days. Most students in ancient China had to go a long way to the capital city for the exam. As transportation in ancient times was not developed fully,they usually (usual) went to the capital on foot,and it took some people several months to reach (reach) the place. On the exam day,they had to be checked for fear of cheating on the test—like today's gaokao. Those who passed the palace examination were called jinshi. The top three jinshi were called zhuangyuan,bangyan and tanhua in turn. All the jinshi would be given a post(职位) by the emperor. So,the competition(竞争) was very fierce.
