During the Tang Dynasty，Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister Feng Deyi to look for talented people.However，several months passed，F(xiàn)eng didn't find anyone.
"I tried my best，but there are not unusual and well-rounded people at all，" Feng said.
"People are like utensils （器物）.What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths.You should blame （責(zé)怪） yourself for not noticing talented people.How could you say that there are no talented people in our country？" said the emperor.
It is really true that each utensil or tool has a specific use.A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food.We can't use a knife as chopsticks.Like a utensil，each person has a special strength.Nobody is perfect.We can't expect a person to be good at everything.
With this idea in mind，Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds.He offered them important positions，which helped them make the most of their talents.A good example is Ma Zhou，who grew up in a poor family.Ma gave a lot of useful advice，so Emperor Taizong offered him a position and promoted （晉升） him many times.Ma helped the emperor deal with difficult problems and became a famous person in history.During that period，the important officials around Emperor Taizong，such as Fang Xuanling，Wei Zheng，LiJing，all were the brightest and the best of the time with their own strong points.
Emperor Taizong's talented people helped the society develop and created a "golden age".
