Idioms and allusions

The death of Zhiyao lies in his talent and virtue. Talent and virtue are two different things, and the secular people often can't distinguish them. Generally speaking, they are wise, so they are wrong about people. The so-called talent refers to intelligence, insight, strength and perseverance; the so-called virtue refers to integrity, fairness and peace. Virtue is the auxiliary capital of virtue; virtue is the central commander of talent. The bamboo in Yunmeng, Hubei Province, is called vigorous all over the world. However, if its curvature is not corrected and it is not matched with a cluster of feathers and arrows, it can not be used as a sharp arrow to penetrate solid objects. The steel produced in Tangxi, Henan Province, is called Jingli in the world. However, if it is not melted, cast or forged, it cannot be used as a weapon to break through hard armour. Therefore, if you have both ability and morality, you are called a saint; if you have no talent and morality, you are called a fool; if morality surpasses talent, you are called a gentleman; if talent surpasses morality, you are called a villain. The standard of selecting talents is that if a sage is not found and a gentleman is appointed, it is better to get a fool than a villain. Why? Because a gentleman holds his talent and uses it to do good, while a villain holds his talent and uses it to do evil. If you have the ability to do good, you can do good everywhere; if you do evil with the ability, you can do all kinds of evil. If a fool wants to do evil, he will not be able to do it because of his lack of wisdom and strength. There is a limit, just like a dog biting someone, but people can subdue it. The villain not only has enough intrigue to play evil, but also has the brave power to show off violence, just like the hungry tiger wings, the harm can be imagined! People with virtue are respected, and people with talent are loved. People who respect people are often far away, and people who love people are often full-time. Therefore, people who inspect and select talents are often blinded by their talents and forget to inspect their morality. Since ancient times, the country's corrupt officials, the family's black sheep, because of their talent and moral deficiency, leading to the collapse of the country is really numerous, not only Zhiyao a person. Therefore, if a statesman can carefully examine the two different standards of talent and morality, and know the order of choice, how can he lose talent!
