民主既是现代政党政治的核心价值,又是中国古代选官制度中的一种举措,具有历史传承性;既是干部工作的政治理想,又是干部制度变迁的重要推手,具有现实渐进性;既要体现竞争、择优的要求,又要兼顾公平、效率,要遵循其客观规律性;既要尊重多数,又要保护少数,要体现其宽容的人本意蕴。 Democracy is not only the core value of modern party politics, but also an initiative in the system of selecting and appointing officials in ancient China. It has historical inheritance. It is both a political ideal of cadre work and an important promoter of changes in the cadre system. It has gradual reality. To reflect the requirements of competition and merit selection, we must also consider fairness and efficiency and follow its objective laws. It is necessary to respect the majority and protect the minority, so as to embody its tolerant humanism.
