In ancient China, an important system of selection was the "probation system", that is, the recommendation system. **You can directly become ** by electing petty officials or even ordinary people. This system was born in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was more popular in the Han Dynasty, until the emergence of the imperial examination system in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the inspection system came to an end.
How to truly achieve fair employment under the recommendation system is an important issue that has a direct bearing on whether the dynastic regime can maintain long-term peace and stability. In this regard, there is an ancient man 2,500 years ago who set an example for us, he is Qi Xi, who was in charge of military and political power in the Jin State during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Qi Xi (620 BC - 545 BC), Ji surname, Qi family, name Xi, the word yellow sheep, food in Qi (now Qi County, Shanxi), so it was named Qi Xi.
According to the record of "Zuo Chuan Qi Xi Juxian", in 570 BC, Qi Xi, a lieutenant of the Jin Kingdom, asked to return to his hometown, and the Duke of Jin Mourning approved his request and asked Qi Xi who could replace him as a lieutenant. Qi Xi did not hesitate to recommend to Jin Mourning Gong to understand the fox.
Jin Miangong asked rather strangely: "Xie Hu is your father-killing enemy!."”
Qi Xi replied calmly: "The gentleman can ask, not the enemy's hatred." ”
It's a pity that Xie Hu died of illness before he could officially take office.
So, Jin Mourning Gong asked Qi Xi if there was anyone else who could take over the post of lieutenant. Qi Xi recommended his son Qi Wu again.
Jin Mourning Gong felt strange again: "Qi Wu is your son!."”
Qi Xi replied again: "You can ask if you ask, not the son of the minister." ”
This is Qi Xi's excellent quality of "not avoiding hatred outside, and not avoiding relatives inside".
Soon after, the lieutenant of the lieutenant died of his lieutenant. Jin Mourning Gong once again asked Qi Xi's opinion, and Qi Xi recommended Yang Tongue Chi, the son of Yang Tongue, to take over.
Jin Mourning Gong asked incomprehensibly: "Why do you recommend both your enemies and those who are close to you?"”
Qi Xi replied firmly: "The lord is asking who is competent, not about the relationship with me!."”
Jin Mourning Gong was moved by Qi Xi's concept, so he appointed Qi Wu as the lieutenant of the middle army, and the son of the sheep tongue post Yang Yu Chi was the deputy of the middle lieutenant.
When the country needs talents, Qi Xi always adheres to the principle of public spirit, and recommends talents for the country according to the competency standards required for the key position of lieutenant, without considering personal relatives and grudges. This method of recommendation, which is unbiased and not afraid of the opinions of the monarch and courtiers, shows his serious and realistic spirit in selecting talents for the country.
It is rumored that Xie Hu is a native of Dongjili, Qi County, and is honest and honest. When he was in an official position, he recommended his retainer Xing Boliu, who had a dispute with him, to be the party guard. Xing Boliu learned that Xie Hu recommended him and expressed his gratitude to Xie Hu. However, Xie Hu responded indifferently: "Lift the son, the prince also;."Grievances, selfishness, and grievances are the same. ”
Qi Xi's son Qi Wu was also an outstanding talent in the Jin Kingdom at that time. He is "studious but not playful, professional but not lewd, gentle and gentle on small things and calm about big things, and straightforward without flowing". After serving as a lieutenant, the army was managed in an orderly manner.
Qi Xi's practice of "not avoiding hatred externally, and not avoiding relatives internally" was highly praised by the society at that time, and was called "calling it hatred, not slandering;."Establishing his son is not a comparison;It is not for the party. ”
When Confucius heard about this, he was also amazed: "If you don't avoid revenge when you move outside, you don't avoid your son when you move inside, Qi Huangyang can be described as a public person." ”
Sima Qian also praised in the "Historical Records": "Qi Xi can be described as not a party!."The external move does not hide the enemy, and the internal move does not hide the child. ”
Later generations believe that the "unbiased, non-party, royal road" mentioned in "Shangshu Hongfan" refers to people like Qi Xi.
Historically, there has been an endless stream of people who "do not avoid hatred when they move outside", and there are not a few people who "do not avoid relatives when they move inside". However, Qi Xi may be the only one who can have the quality of "not avoiding revenge and not avoiding relatives internally" at the same time. His high style and bright festival have set a fair model for future generations in the selection of the best in ancient times.
Qi Xi's noble qualities and excellent morals in the historical background of the ancient selection have been vividly demonstrated in the article, and his lofty principle of "not avoiding hatred and not avoiding relatives in the internal promotion" has become a model for future generations to learn from Xi. The concept of fair employment embodied in this principle not only has a far-reaching influence in the ancient political system, but also provides a useful reference for the leadership and selection system of today's society.
First of all, Qi Xi's fair employment is reflected in his cautious and realistic attitude towards talent selection. When faced with the question of succession to the post of lieutenant in the Jin Kingdom, he first recommended Xie Hu, even though Xie Hu was his enemy. Qi Xi insisted that "the gentleman asks for the enemy, not the enemy", showing his high loyalty to the country and the public interest. This kind of decisiveness to separate the state from the grudge shows his insistence on fair employment and his character of not fearing power and scheming.
Secondly, Qi Xi also adhered to the principle of fair employment when choosing his son Qi Wu. He said to the Duke of Jin Mourning: "The king asks Ke, not the son of the minister." This response shows that Qi Xi's only criterion for selecting talents is ability and competency, not personal relationships. This far-sighted and non-partialistic attitude makes Qi Xi's selection more fair, reflecting his deep concern and responsibility for the long-term stability of the country.
Qi Xi's behavior was not only highly praised by the society at that time, but also left a far-reaching impact on later generations. His principle of recommendation was praised by later generations as "not avoiding hatred in external promotion, and not avoiding children in internal promotion", and became a model for fair employment. This concept of advocating justice has also been continued in Confucianism, and Confucius's praise for Qi Xi has been praised by future generations. Qi Xi's selflessness, selflessness, and selflessness in the process of selecting ** have set a moral example for future generations of politicians, and also injected positive energy into China's political and cultural traditions.
However, we should also realize that Qi Xi's concept of fair employment is not a pure theory, but is rooted in the soil of the social and political system at that time. In the ancient political environment, it was the basic duty of the country to serve the country with virtuous and capable ministers, and the reason why Qi Xi was able to show the quality of fair employment under the framework of this system was not only the factor of his personal noble character, but also the influence of the background of the times and Confucianism.
To sum up, Qi Xi's fair employment principle of "not avoiding hatred outside and not avoiding relatives inside" is a bright pearl in the ancient selection system. His noble qualities and profound thoughts have provided valuable historical experience and moral enlightenment for future generations. In today's society, we also need to pay attention to fair employment in the process of selecting leaders and leaders, carry forward Qi Xi's public character, and make positive contributions to building a more just and harmonious society.
