　　From the perspective of the examination itself, after the postgraduate entrance examination outline was released, Wang Yufei analyzed that the adjustment of the outline of each subject focused on the details, but combined with the overall change trend, more attention was paid to the examination of the examinee's knowledge understanding and practical application ability.
