关于明代武举,并未像《明史·选举志》中所载那样于明初开科,亦未于成化年间开考。经考证,明代武举于天顺八年偶一行之,自弘治以后才形成制度,连续举行。明行武举是对武职世袭的一种否定,选拔了一些确有才干的将领,在科举制度史上占有重要地位。但是,明代武举社会地位较低,所考“策论”往往流于纸上谈兵,对其重视程度采取实用主义态度,故对挽救明王朝的衰亡收效甚微。 As for the martial law in the Ming Dynasty, it did not start as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty as set out in “History of the Ming and Election,” nor did it take place during the Chenghua period. The textual research, the Ming Dynasty Wuju in Tianshun eight years even a line, since Hongzhi formed a system, held in a row. Ming Wu Wuju is a negation of the hereditary class, selected some really capable generals, occupies an important position in the history of the imperial examination system. However, the military rank in the Ming dynasty was low, and the “test theory” often went down on paper and took a pragmatic attitude toward it. Therefore, it did little to save the decline of the Ming dynasty.
