Recognize Talents
鑒別有德才的人或辨別人的優(yōu)劣。中國人自古注重任人唯賢，使其在國家治理中充分發(fā)揮作用，認(rèn)為這是實現(xiàn)國家良好治理狀態(tài)的重要保障。而鑒別賢才無疑是第一要務(wù)或必要前提。它要求執(zhí)政者本身也有相應(yīng)的杰出德才，卻不以自身的德才為傲。這被認(rèn)為是治國理政的難點所在，也是治國理政智慧的最高表現(xiàn)。
The ability to recognize individuals with both moral virtue and competence, or to discern the merits and shortcomings of people, has been a profound pursuit throughout Chinese history. Many historical classics suggest that the future of a well-governed state hinges on its ability to recognize and leverage the role of virtuous and competent individuals. Identifying such outstanding talent requires those in power to not only possess distinct moral and intellectual character, but also a humility with which to guard against self-glorification. This ability, which is at the heart of good governance, is crucial to effective governance.
