shàn ㄕㄢˋ (8): 擅長，精通。 Good at doing.
| 《·》: | 故善為君者，勞於論人，而佚於治官。 | | Therefore capable rulers are very painstaking in the selection of men while they may not be so careful in attending to the administration (themselves). | | 《·》: | 子曰：「晏平仲善與人交，久而敬之。」 | | The Master said, "Yan Ping knew well how to maintain friendly intercourse. The acquaintance might be long, but he showed the same respect as at first." | | 《·》: | 及至伯樂，曰：「我善治馬。」 | | But when Bo-le (arose and) said, 'I know well how to manage horses,' | | 《·》: | 善學者，師逸而功倍，又從而庸之。 | | The skilful learner, while the master seems indifferent, yet makes double the attainments of another, and in the sequel ascribes the merit (to the master). |
