Many exam questions in Xingshi and Huishi in the Ming-imperial exam were from Shijin.This study focuses on the exam questions based on 237 questions from 61 Huishis and 1340 questions from 337 Xingshis. It applies historical bibliography citation analysis and statistical methods to sort out the exam questions that came from Shijin. It can probe into not only the length of the exam questions, but also the types and distribution. With the statistics and historical bibliography combined, the tendency and preference of the examiners can be figured out. Furthermore, the reasons of preference can be explicated, also the effects on examinees,choosing one of the Five Classics for the exam, and on the compilation of Shijin reference books for the imperial examination can be understood.
