This is a set of regulations issued by the Qing Dynasty imperial court for candidates participating in the imperial examination system. The content can be broadly divided into five sections. First, it outlines the rules for the attire and conduct of scholars. Second, is the roll call for candidates entering the examination hall, and third, regulations for their conduct before the exam begins. The final two sections detail the conduct during the examination and the procedures for submitting the completed exam papers and exiting the examination hall.

Although this regulation consists of only 12 rules, its level of detail and thoroughness is remarkable. It highlights the meticulous requirements and importance placed on the selection of talent by the government during the Qing Dynasty.
