论《吕氏春秋》一书的“用贤”思想及产生的时代背景

The Discussion on Ideology and Background in Appointing the Worthies in Lüshichunqiu

《吕氏春秋》虽被列为杂家著作,但却与一般的杂家著作不同,该书以治国理政之道为要旨,可谓"见王治之无不惯"。其中,尤以"用贤"思想最为突出,不仅强调了"用贤"的重要性,而且,进一步提出了访求贤者的具体方法和使用贤者的原则要求。《吕氏春秋》所以能有如此丰富的"用贤"思想,无疑是当时特定历史条件的必然产物。

Though Lüshichunqiu was thought as a work of tradition, in fact it is really very different with others. It is a general political book for administration of the country. It especially expounds how the ruler appoint the worthies, which contains the importance of appointing the worthies, the criteria of measuring, the way of testing, judging and using. There are a lot of ideology for appointing talent in Lüshichunqiu, because it is a essential product under the special historical condition.
