Original (Chinese)
Ren Wu Zhi by Liu Shao The original Chinese: 人物志 劉邵 〈自序〉 夫聖賢之所美，莫美乎聰明；聰明之所貴，莫貴乎知人。知人誠智，而庶 績之業興矣。是以，聖人著爻象則立君子小人之辭，敘《詩》志則別風俗 雅正之業樂》則考六藝祇庸之德，躬南面則授俊逸相之材，皆所以達眾善 而成天功天功既成，則並受名譽。是以，堯以克明俊德為稱，舜以登庸二 八為之賢為名，文王以舉渭濱之叟為貴。由此論之，聖人興德，孰不勞聰 明於任使者哉！是故，仲尼不試無所援升，猶序門人以為四科，泛論眾材 以辨三等。人之德，尚德以勸庶幾之論。訓六蔽以戒偏材之失，思狂狷以 通拘抗之材以明為似之難保。又曰：察其所安，觀其所由，以知居止之行 。人物之察是以敢依聖訓，志序人物，庶以補綴遺忘；惟博識君子，裁覽 其義焉。 〈九徵〉 蓋人物之本，出乎情性。情性之理，甚微而玄；非聖人之察，其孰能究之 哉？ 凡有血氣者，莫不含元一以為質，稟陰陽以立性，體五行而著形。苟有形 質，猶可即而求之。凡人之質量，中和最貴矣。中和之質，必平淡無味
