幹濟 [gàn jì] [gan ji]—
1. To have sufficient talent to accomplish tasks. 《隋書 [sui shu].卷六六 [juan liu liu].列傳 [lie chuan].李諤 [li e]》 (Book of Sui, Volume 66, Biographies, Li E): "The loss of the Way (喪道 [sang dao]) in the world reached its extreme in the Zhou Dynasty (周代 [zhou dai]). Those below had no sense of shame (廉恥 [lian chi]), and those above caused it to be so. When employing people, they only trusted their words; when selecting scholars, they did not observe their conduct. Those who were boastful and arrogant (矜誇自大 [jin kua zi da]) were then promoted (蒙擢 [meng zhuo]) for their ability to accomplish tasks, while those who were humble, respectful, quiet, and withdrawn (謙恭靜退 [qian gong jing tui]) were often overlooked (見遺 [jian yi]) due to their quietude (恬默 [tian mo])." 《福惠全書 [fu hui quan shu].卷一 [juan yi].筮仕部 [shi shi bu].薦托 [jian tuo]》 (Complete Book of Blessings and Benefits, Volume 1, Section on Divining for Officialdom, Recommendation and Entrustment): "There are people who are capable and efficient (之人 [zhi ren]), who externally handle the superior's (上司 [shang si]) departure from the capital (出京 [chu jing]), and internally manage the public affairs (公事 [gong shi]) of various yamen (衙門 [ya men])."

Tang (唐 [tang]) Dynasty, Kong Yingda's (孔穎達 [kong ying da]) 'Correct Meaning' (正義 [zheng yi]) states: 'To make all affairs accomplished and efficient, this is to emulate the perseverance (貞 [zhen]) of Heaven.'" 《新唐書 [xin tang shu].卷二二四 [juan er er si].叛臣列傳上 [pan chen lie chuan shang].陳少游 [chen shao you]》 (New Book of Tang, Volume 224, Biographies of Rebellious Officials, Part One, Chen Shaoyou): "Chen Shaoyou (陳少游 [chen shao you]) was skilled in adapting to circumstances (權變 [quan bian]). Wherever he went, he handled everything efficiently and competently, bribing powerful and favored individuals (權幸 [quan xing]), and thus he was frequently promoted."

幹濟:1.才能足以濟事。《隋書.卷六六.列傳.李諤》:「世之喪道,極於周代,下無廉恥,上使之然。用人唯信其口,取士不觀其行,矜誇自大,便以幹濟蒙擢,謙恭靜退,多以恬默見遺。」《福惠全書.卷一.筮仕部.薦托》:「有幹濟之人,外而上司出京,內而各衙門公事。」
2.有良好的成就。《易經.乾卦》:「《文言》曰:貞者,事之幹也。」唐.孔穎達.正義:「使事皆幹濟,此法天之貞也。」《新唐書.卷二二四.叛臣列傳上.陳少游》:「少游長權變,所至一切幹濟,賄謝權幸,以是數遷。」
