The term is generally applied to the officials appointed through the imperial examination system. For around 1,300 years, from 605 to 1905, mandarins were selected by merit through the extremely rigorous imperial examination. The mandarins were the founders and core of the Chinese gentry. The litter (jiao) is a class of wheelless vehicles, a type of human-powered transport, for the transport of persons. A commoner used a wooden or bamboo civil litter, while the mandarin class used an official litter enclosed in silk curtains. Sedan chairs were once the only public conveyance in Hong Kong, filling the role of cabs. Private chairs were an important marker of a person's status. Entitled: "Ein mandarinen, besuch abstatten."
