Is the last scholar Zhang Jian or Liu Chunlin?

Zhang Jianzhong won the first prize in 1894, and then took three imperial examinations. The last time was 1904, when Empress Dowager Cixi celebrated her seventieth birthday, a Cohen was added, and Liu Chunlin got the top prize. 1905, at the invitation of Yuan Shikai and other governors, the Qing government stopped the imperial examination, and ordered that all provincial examinations, provincial examinations and provincial examinations should be stopped from Bingwu (1906). At this point, the imperial examination was completely abolished. So the final champion can only be Liu Chunlin of 1904, not Zhang Jian of 1894.

Liu Chunlin (1872- 1944), a native of Suning County, Zhili Province (now Hebei Province), has high attainments in poetry, calligraphy and painting. As he is the last scholar in the history of China, he calls himself "the last man among the ancestors", and some people call him "the curtain call of ancient scholars". The champion and later commissioned imperial academy to write, but he didn't become an official at home and decided to go to Japan to study. 1907 returned to China as a supervisor of Baoding Higher Education Institute. 1909 was elected as a member of the advisory committee, and was later elected as a member of the advisory committee. The first meeting of the Senior Advisory Council began, and Liu Chunlin attended the meeting. The Senior Advisory Council was established by the Qing court in preparation for the constitution, with the purpose of cultivating the ability of parliamentarians and laying the foundation for the establishment of a bicameral formal parliament in the future. Members are composed of elected and elected members (members elected by the provincial advisory committee). The provincial advisory committee is the highest legislative and supervisory body of the country with certain independence, or a transitional mixed parliament.
