通过参加科举考试的士人数量来推测南宋士人占人口比例,要比以科举及第者来推测士人比例要更为精确。由此可知南宋不同地域的士人阶层发育的程度是不同的,福州的士人阶层所占比例在南宋是最高的,其他不少州府的士人阶层在南宋后期都已经有了不同程度的发育,但在人数上并未达到一个很高的比例。而且各个州府内部的不同县份士人数量也是有很大差异的。同时,南宋时期不同地域“士人阶层”发育的速度是明显不同的。在北宋时,江南东西路、两浙东西路、福建、四川诸路就已经达到一个比较高的程度。而总体上广南两路以及荆湖北路则相要差一些,直到南宋才有某些州府达到一个比较高的水平。 It is more accurate to infer the proportion of Southern Song scholars as a percentage of the population by attending the imperial examinations than by the Imperial Examination and the first. It can be seen from the Southern Song Dynasty different regions of the development of intellectuals are different levels, the proportion of Fuzhou’s intellectuals in the Southern Song Dynasty is the highest, many other state government scholars in the late Southern Song Dynasty have had varying degrees of Development, but the number did not reach a high proportion. And the number of people in different counties within each state is also quite different. At the same time, the rates of development of “scholarly classes” in different regions in the Southern Song Dynasty were significantly different. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jiangnan East-West Road, Liangzhe East-West Road, Fujian, and Sichuan all roads have reached a relatively high level. On the whole, both Guangnan Road and Jinghu North Road were worse than others until some of the Southern Song Dynasty reached a relatively high level.
