野无遗贤
“野无遗贤”是指民间没有遗漏不用的贤人,但凡德才兼备的人都能为国所用。这是古人“尚贤”理念的具体体现。中国自古注重任人唯贤、人尽其才,认为这是实现国家良好治理状态的重要保障。察举制、科举制等中国古代各种人才选举制度,都是基于这种理念而建立的。“野无遗贤”也被认为是国家良好治理状态的标志之一。
No Sagacious Person Ignored
When no sagacious person was ignored, all men with virtue and talent were employed by the government. This is a demonstration of the ancient concept of "exalting the worthy." Since ancient times, China has emphasized that people should be appointed to official positions in accordance with their virtue, and each person should perform his role to the fullest. This was believed to guarantee the sound governance of the state. All systems for selecting people for official posts in ancient China, including selection by recommendations or by imperial examinations, were established on the basis of this conception. The principle that "no sagacious person is ignored" was regarded as one of the symbols of good governance of a country.
引例野无遗贤,万邦咸宁。(《尚书·大禹谟》)(民间没有被遗漏的人才,各邦国都太平无事。)
No sagacious person is ignored by the government. All states stay in peace. (The Book of History)
