During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister Feng Deyi to recommend(推荐) talented people.

 1 , several months passed, Feng didn't recommend anyone. "I tried my best, but there are not unusual and 2 people at all, " Feng said.

"People are like utensils (器具). What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You cannot excuse yourself for not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our country?" said the emperor.

Indeed, each utensil or tool has its use. A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to 3 food. We can't use a knife as a 4 . Like a utensil, each person has special strength. Nobody is perfect. We can't expect a person to be good at everything.

With this idea in 5 , Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He 6 them important positions, which helped them make the best use of their talents. His talented people helped the society 7 and created a "golden age".

Some people say if a person is talented 8 , we should give them a chance. The same idea can be found in The Analects of Confucius (《论语》). Treating people as utensils shows that we can not only lead people well, but also allow different kinds of people to work well.

Today, the idea still makes 9 . If we become leaders someday, we should help others give full play to their strengths. 10 , Liu Bang let Zhang Liang and Xiao He work as advisors for their wisdom while inviting Han Xin to lead the army for his war strategies. Known as the "three heroes of the early Han Dynasty", they helped Liu build strong dynasty.
