Confucius said, "I am more than enough to be the servants of Zhao and Wei, the great doctors of Jin, but I can't be the doctors of Teng and Xue."
Xueersi
Mencius said, "When a saint is in office, a wise man is in office." When a sage is in office, a talented person is in office. People in power need virtuous people to grasp the direction and determine the correct route. Doctors are people who do specific work and need capable people.
When selecting talents, we should give full play to their talents and learn from each other's strengths. Meng Gong is honest, upright and noble, but nobody is perfect, so we can't blame him. Meng Gong is more than enough as a housekeeper, but his intelligence may not be enough. There are many things in the post of Chinese medicine, and talents are needed.
A man of noble character is not necessarily talented. Talented people often rely on their own talents, and often look down on those noble "decorations", but they don't know that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If the policy line is wrong, the harm will be even greater. The role of a virtuous person is to determine the correct principles and routes. Only when virtuous people and talented people cooperate with each other can they truly have both ability and political integrity.
