This is a replica of a grand golden list, which gives the names of successful candidates in the palace examination held in 1904. This palace examination, held in celebration of Empress Cixi's 70th birthday, was the last imperial examination in the history of China. Showing candidates who passed the palace examination, the list was called the "golden list" because it was written on a piece of yellow paper affixed with the imperial seal. This artefact is from the Shanghai Jiading Museum.   Close
