As a classic work in the field of talent appraisal in ancient China, Liu Shao's "Guanren Jing" (i. E. "Characters") systematically constructed a theoretical system and practical methods for recognizing and appraising people. The book uses the "Nine Signs" to identify talent, uses the "Eight Views" and "Five Visions" to explore character and talent, and combines human characteristics with governance and selection of talents. It is not only an ideological treasure under the metaphysical trend of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but also provides a valuable reference for later generations in understanding people, employing people, and self-cultivation. It still has profound enlightenment in the fields of identifying people in the workplace and interpersonal communication.
