  释 义: 指要同时听取各方面的意见,才能正确认识事物;只相信单方面的话,必然会犯片面性的错误。
  出 处: 唐代魏征曰:兼听则明,偏信则暗.示 例: 唐朝人魏征说过:“~。”
  ★毛泽东《矛盾论》
  多方面听取意见才能辩明是非得失;只听一方面的意见,就信以为真,往往要作出错误的判断。汉代王符《潜夫论·明暗》:“君之所以明者,兼听也;其所以暗者,偏信也。是故人君通必兼听,则圣日广矣;庸说偏信,则愚日甚矣。”《资治通鉴》唐太宗贞观二年:“上问魏征曰:‘人主何为而明,何为而暗?’对曰:‘兼听则明,偏信则暗。’”
  [原文]
  上问魏徵曰:“人主何为而明,何为而暗?”对曰:“兼听则明,偏信则暗。昔尧清问下民,故有苗之恶得以上闻。舜明四目,达四聪,故共、鲧、欢兜不能蔽也。秦二世偏信赵高,以成望夷之祸;梁武帝偏信朱异,以取台城之辱;隋炀帝偏信虞世基,以致彭城阁之变。是故人君兼听广纳,则贵臣不得拥蔽,而下情得以上通也。”上曰:“善。”
  [释文]
  唐太宗问魏徵:“君主怎样叫明辨是非,怎样叫昏庸糊涂?”魏徵答:“广泛地听取意见就是明辨是非,偏信某个人就是昏庸糊涂。从前帝尧明晰地向下面民众了解情况,所以三苗作恶之事及时掌握。帝舜耳听四面,眼观八方,故共、鲧、驩都不能蒙蔽他。秦二世偏信赵高,在望夷宫被赵高所杀;梁武帝偏信朱异,在台城被软禁饿死;隋炀帝偏信虞世基,死于扬州的彭城阁兵变,所以人君广泛听取意见,则贵族大臣不敢蒙蔽,下情得以上达。”唐太宗说:“好啊!”
