How did the japanese way of hiring officials differ from the chinese during the nara period?

The answer is:

Government officials were hied based on wealth and land

Explanation:

The Nara period was a time in Japanese history from about year 710 CE to 784. It began when a new capital was established in a city later known as Nara.

In the early A.D. 700s, Japanese emperors built a new capital city called Nara. It had broad streets, large public squares,

Buddhist temples, and Shinto shrines. Nobles' families lived in large, Chinese-style homes. During the Nara period, the

Japanese emperors ranked government officials into a hierarchy. However, they did not follow the Chinese practice of

using examinations to hire officials. Instead, the emperor gave positions to nobles from powerful families. In return for their  services, these officials received large farms.
