Betting on the Civil Service Examinations
註釋"Weixing was a highly-organized lottery practice wherein people bet on the surnames of which candidates would pass the civil and military examinations in China. This book reconstructs the inner mechanisms of Weixing and other lottery games and traces a series of institutional revenue innovations surrounding lottery regulation from the 1850s to the early 1900s, depicting an expansive community created by the lottery with cultural and informational channels stretching around the world."--
