清代乾隆年间,随着社会时局的日渐稳定,各级官吏队伍也陆续健全起来。于是,朝廷也就开始提高了从政者的准入门槛,提出非进士不能为官。然而,在当时进士毕竟是凤毛麟角,而赋闲在家中的举人不断增多,想成为进士也不是那么容易的事情。为了不影响科举制度的稳定,清朝不得不考虑为落第举人另择出路,这样一来,就使得“大挑制度”——清代选拔官员制度应运而生了。 During the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, with the steady social situation, the ranks of the officials at all levels were gradually being improved. As a result, the court also began to raise the barriers to entry of politicians, non-Jinshi can not be officials. However, at the time, the Jinshi was, after all, rare and the number of people who were idle at home was constantly increasing. It was not so easy to become a Jinshi. In order not to affect the stability of the imperial examination system, the Qing dynasty had to consider alternative ways to defeat the imperial examination system. In this way, the system of selecting officials with great powers was adopted - the system of selecting officials in the Qing Dynasty came into being.
