賢人 Xianren (Person of Integrity)
賢德之人。“賢人”是古人所推崇的理想人格之一。“賢人”能夠踐行并維護人倫生活的各種規(guī)則，其言行被作為人倫生活的典范。不過，不同學派對于“賢人”之德的具體內涵會有不同的理解。儒家所言“賢人”，即能夠踐行仁義等道德，是為政的重要人才。而墨家所言“賢人”，則要能夠使治下的百姓以“兼愛”作為根本的行事原則。此外，如道家等學派則認為對“賢人”的推崇會導致無謂的紛爭，不利于社會的治理。
A person of integrity is one with the ideal character championed by the ancient Chinese. A person of integrity practices and observes all the ethical rules and standards in life, and his behavior is revered as the model for such a way of life. However, different schools of thought have different understanding as to what qualities a person of integrity should have. To Confucian scholars, a person of integrity practices moral virtues such as benevolence and righteousness and is considered competent for being an official. Mohists, however, believe a person of integrity should see that those under his governance practice universal love as their fundamental moral guidance. Still others, such as Daoist scholars, argue that exalting a person of integrity would lead to unnecessary controversy and would thus be detrimental to governance.
