重才与求衡:论明孝宗的用人观

Valuing Talents and Seeking Balance:On Personnel Strategy of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty

成化(1465-1487)末年国家铨选制度趋于崩坏、人才每多困于壅滞,明孝宗即位后,下诏求举天下异才,并突破了以德行为先的传统用人观念。此外,为重振朝纲、防范党争,明孝宗在选任高级官员时,对其地域来源作出了一定的制约与调整。为防止权势偏移于某一文官机构,明孝宗在其统治的前中后期,通过人事层面的调换,实施不同的阁部制衡之策。

In the late years of Chenghua(1465-1487),the national talents selection system tended to collapse,talents often were trapped in the obstruction.After Emperor Xiaozong ascended the throne,he issued an imperial edict to select talents around the whole country,which broke through the traditional concept of using talents based on moral behavior.In addition,in order to revitalize the party program and prevent party strife,Ming Xiaozong made certain restrictions and adjustments to their regional sources when selecting senior officials,and he implemented different strategies of balancing the Cabinet and Six Ministries through personnel adjustments in the early,middle and late periods of his reign to prevent the power from shifting to a certain civil institution.
