During the Spring and Autumn Period，there was a king called Duke Ping of Jin(557－532 BCE). One day，the king asked an officer called Qi Huangyang，“Who do you think is suitable for the position(位置) of Nanyang County?”
“Xie Hu is the right man for the job，” Qi replied without thinking. Surprised，the king asked，“Did you say Xie Hu? I thought he's your enemy(敌人). Why did you let him take such an important position?”
Smiling，Qi Huangyang said，“You didn't ask me my personal opinions of Xie Hu. You simply asked me who I thought would be suitable for the position. Therefore，I recommended Xie Hu.”
The king followed Qi's advice and made Xie Hu the officer of Nanyang County. And sure enough，Xie Hu managed the county very well and local people and his workmates all praised him.
Some days later，the king asked Qi Huangyang again. This time，the king was trying to find a suitable person for a judge(法官). Qi Huangyang recommended Qi Wu for the job. The king was surprised once again because Qi Wu was the son of Qi Huangyang. The king asked，“Why do you recommend your own son? Aren't you afraid people will say you are selfish(自私的)?”
Qi Huangyang replied，“You asked me who was the most suitable person for the position of a judge，and I think Qi Wu is.” Although the king was not quite sure about making Qi Wu the judge，he gave him the position. As it turned out，Qi Wu was a fair and talented judge.
Qi Huangyang's actions were praised by Confucius. He said，“Qi Huangyang was right. He recommended people because of their abilities and talents，not because of personal reasons，not because of fearing others' thoughts.”
