Modern Chinese Guide

仲弓做了季氏的家臣总管，问怎样管理政事。孔子说：先给下属分派职责，宽恕他们的小过错，选拔举用贤能的人才。仲弓说：怎样才能识别贤才而举用他们呢？孔子说：举用你所了解的，你所不了解的，别人难道会舍弃他们不用吗？

James Legge Translation

1. Chung-kung, being chief minister to the Head of the Chi family, asked about government. The Master said, "Employ first the services of your various officers, pardon small faults, and raise to office men of virtue and talents." 2. Chung-kung said, "How shall I know the men of virtue and talent, so that I may raise them to office?" He was answered, "Raise to office those whom you know. As to those whom you do not know, will others neglect them?"
