左宗棠经略西北时期的人才思想及其实践

Zuo Zhongtang's Talent Policy and Practice during his Administration in the Northeast Area

左宗棠在开发西北期间,视人才为国家由贫弱而富强的根本。为维护民族团结和边疆安全,他广设义学,普及教育,大办书院,刻发书籍,甘肃分闱,拓展士路,推广汉族先进文化,推行洋务,发展少数民族地区文化教育,培养少数民族人才。其中许多经验对我们今天的西部大开发仍有启迪。

During the administration in the Northeast Area, Zuo Zongtang looked upon the talented personnel as the decisive factor for the strength and prosperity of the country. In order to uphold national unity and safeguard the security of the border areas, he made great attempts in different aspects, such as encouraging free school by popularizing education, setting up new academy of classical learning, encouraging publications, enrolling students respectively between Shanxi Province and Gansu Province, thinking out many ways for scholars to develop, promoting the advanced culture of the Han Nationality, carrying out foreign affairs, and developing regional education and economy of minority nationality. Even today his experience still brings positive enlightenment to China's exploitation of the Western Regions.
