论先秦谋士的谋略与归属

An Argument of the Strategy and Ascription of the Pre-Qin Period Advisers

先秦谋士,多出生寒微,为跻身仕途,他们纷纷寄人篱下,做人门客。为人出谋划策,以期受人赏识。一旦有机会证明自己,为己为人,为国为天下苍生都会殚精竭虑,谋士风采一展无余。然当所谋之事已成,若非理智地功成身退,大多晚景凄凉,或遭小人嫉妒,或遭惑主猜忌。

The most of the Pre-Qin Period advisers were born poorly and they had to go under someone else＇s roof, being a hanger-on of an aristocrat, for their political life. They gave their advices and suggestions to their aristocrat owner and expected for the appreciation. Once they got their chance to prove themselves, for both themselves and the others, they did expend their whole life making contributions for the living lives, which is the style of the Pre- Qin Period advisers. But if they failed to get retired rationally and appropriately when their achievements were complished, they mostly got a miserable senectitude by flunkes＇ envy or their owners＇ suspicion.
