Bureaucracy of merit

Unsourced and orphaned, expansion is unlikely. I suppose whatever is salvageable can be merged into imperial examination. Timmyshin (talk) 00:41, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect: There is no content in this unreferenced article which can enhance the thorough Imperial examination article. Although the "X of Y" title seems an unlikely English search term, Google Books shows it used in at least one book, so a redirect to the main article could have value.
