魏成 / Wei Cheng

魏成 / Wei Cheng appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》06丨魏文侯选谁当宰相呢（1） as one of 魏文侯’s two chancellor candidates, opposite 翟黄. The source says Wei Wenhou ultimately chooses Wei Cheng after hearing 李克’s character-testing criteria.

Wei Cheng’s advantage is not described as administrative detail. The episode says he uses most of his generous income outside his household and thereby attracts 子夏, 田子方, and 段干木, people Wei Wenhou treats as teachers. That makes Wei Cheng a case for talent referral quality and extends respect-based talent attraction beyond the ruler alone.
