唐朝是个人才辈出的时代,可唐朝的选人却有点儿怪。唐时的《选举志》提出选拔人才的标准是:一曰身,体貌丰伟;二曰言,言辞辩正;三曰书,楷法遒美;四曰判,文理优长。这四法第一是长相,第二是语言表达能力,第三是书法,第四才是文章。以这样的标准来选人,一定会使一批有才而貌陋者无法施展,实际上也确使有才无貌者吃了大亏。 The Tang Dynasty is a talented generation, but the Tang election is a bit strange. Tang’s “Electoral Chi” put forward the criteria for selecting qualified personnel: one said body, body Feng Wei; second said words, rhetoric; Third, the book, Kai law beauty beauty; The first is the appearance of the four methods, the second is the language skills, the third is calligraphy, the fourth is the article. To choose people with such a standard will inevitably result in a number of talented people who are unable to display their skills. In fact, those who are talented will no doubt suffer a great deal.
