Understanding Pathways,Dialectical Analysis,and Innovative Development of the Meritocracy System from the Perspective of the"Second Combination"
The meritocracy system is an institutionalized selection process,embodying the era's transformation through the"Second Combination,"and reflecting the positive interaction between personnel and institutions.The ancient Chinese official system had merits such as the emphasis on virtue and talent in selection criteria,objective and fair employment methods,and an open and inclusive attitude towards talent.However,it also had drawbacks like outdated class at-tributes,servile monarch-subject relationships,and delayed developmental progress.Practices emphasizing experience,categorized appointments,virtue prioritization,integrity,and making full use of talents offer insights and references for the five major systems of cadre management in the new era.The modern meritocracy system needs to adhere to dialectical analysis,developmen-tal transformation,and practical orientation,achieving innovative development through inherit-ance and rejection,absorption and reference,and practical exploration.
