Why is the college entrance examination arranged on the 7th, 8th and 9th?

Starting from 1979, the national unified entrance examination for ordinary colleges and universities is fixed on July 7th, 8th and 9th every year. In order to reduce the adverse effects of hot weather and natural disasters on the college entrance examination, it is beneficial to the physical and mental health of candidates, improve the quality of examinations and promote the full implementation of quality education. It is decided to adjust the college entrance examination time from 2003, and the college entrance examination time is fixed on June 7, 8 and 9 every year.

College entrance examination is a system for selecting new students in colleges and universities. China has a history of 1300 years, which once showed the superiority of selecting talents and deeply influenced East Asian countries.

The establishment of the modern college entrance examination system in China has two important sources: one is the traditional examination thinking and value formed by the imperial examination system, and the other is the mode and means of the western modern examination system.

Although the meaning of July is profound, the exam in July has always been criticized by people, because the weather in July is hot and natural disasters often occur. Floods, rainstorms and typhoons often occur in the south, which will not only affect candidates' examinations, but also have a great impact on the organization of the college entrance examination and the safety of candidates' going back and forth from the examination room. So in 2002, the country decided to start from July 2003 for human reasons.

Because the exam month has been adjusted, July 7 has become June 7. People are very much in favor of the country's practice on the examination date, and according to the homonym of the revised examination date, such auspicious words as admission column are put forward. With the help of this sentence, I wish the candidates who are referring now can get good grades in 678 and be admitted to their favorite universities.
