Overview
A method for legitimate power transfer based on ancient Chinese sage king practices (Yao, Shun, Yu), emphasizing merit-based selection and extensive testing before formal transition.
Steps
-
Gather Recommendations
- Solicit input from ministers and regional officials (岳牧)
- Identify potential successors through collective endorsement
-
Test in Position
- Place candidate in official role
- Allow extended period of service (数十年 - decades)
-
Evaluate Performance
- Assess actual accomplishments and utility (功用既兴)
- Verify capability through demonstrated results
-
Formal Transfer
- Only after proven success, formally grant governing authority
- Recognize the gravity of transferring "heavy instruments of state" (天下重器)
Decision Points
- Do not proceed if candidate lacks broad support from officials
- Do not transfer power until performance is verified over time
Expected Outcomes
- Legitimate, stable leadership transition
- Reduced risk of unsuitable successors
- Public confidence in the succession process
Validation
- Confirm the candidate received broad endorsement from ministers and regional officials (岳牧), not just a single faction's support
- Verify the testing period produced measurable accomplishments (功用既兴) — not merely symbolic presence in office
- Assess whether the transfer acknowledges the gravity of 天下重器 (heavy instruments of state) through proper ceremony and public announcement
