废科举后，清廷还继续举办有包括举荐孝廉方正在内的多种考试，在举荐孝廉方正特科实行过程中，其原本具有的科举属性和弊端仍被延续，遂引发时人和舆论的极大关注。这也提醒我们清末科举废除之后余留下来的包括举荐孝廉方正这样的举荐或考试制度，在实际运行过程中曾大大激发了时人的科举崇拜情结，因此非常有必要考察和重构清廷废科举之后残余的科举考试制度的运作及其产生的影响情况。

After abolishing the imperial examination, the Qing government still continued to hold a variety of examinations, including “Xiaolianfangzheng” （recommending filial, incoorrupt, upright and foursquare scholars）. During the implementation of these tests, its original attributes and disadvantages of the imperial examination were entirely retained, which attracted great attention of the people and the public opinions at that time. This tells us that the remaining examination system, including Xiaolianfangzheng, actually stimulated people′s imperial examination worship during its operation. It is necessary for us to examine and reconstruct the operation and influence of the imperial examination system after its abolition in the Qing Dynasty.
