Document #6: “The basic justification for the Chinese Imperial (civil service) Exams was that appointees to civil service positions were not to be chosen through special or inherited privilege, but through an individual's own abilities.

Using information from both documents above, explain how civil service examinations helped China achieve a Golden Age. Describe at least two ways.
