Zeng Guofan was a famous master of Neo-Confucianism in the late Qing Dynasty, with profound academic attainments. He said: "A person who can really read is good and more expensive than being strong", and he should have the spirit of "three years of old rain, three years of diligence, five nights of solitude and eternal youth". The beauty of writing or masculinity, "focusing on adventure"; Or female beauty, "it is important to get a natural taste." To write an article, you need to work hard on the momentum. "You can rely on reason to do things with anger, but no matter how reasonable it is, it is not gray." We should pay attention to appropriate details, people's details, people's details, and "those who know the position one after another, cut short" is also "the writer's first priority." For Wengui, we should find our own way. "The way to write lies in the beautiful weather." . "Clear rhyme, sonorous, is the first wonderful scene of the article".
The art of parenthood
Through the education of family members, the Zeng family has trained good children from generation to generation. Although it is a big family of Houmen, there has been no dude in 100 years, which cannot be said to be the success of Zeng Guofan's educational thought. The theoretical system of Zeng Guofan's family education is: taking the Eight Classics as the classics, taking the Eight Treasures as the latitude, interspersed with four key words, three auspicious words and three unbelievers, the latitude and longitude are coherent, and the context is connected, forming a complete theoretical system of family management; This theory is different from China's traditional core idea of educating future generations, and it opposes the theory that famous family trainers such as Confucius, Mencius, Zhu Xi and Yan Shi have always adhered to and put into practice. It is of great practical significance to the educational confusion faced by almost every family in today's society.
Battlefield operational plan
Zeng Guofan started as a scholar who trained Xiang Army and governed the country, and suppressed the largest peasant uprising in China history-the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. His military thought is extremely rich in connotation, and it does have something extraordinary. He believes that the number of soldiers is small, but fine, "serenade is strong", "the more soldiers, the weaker the strength; The more reimbursement, the poorer the country. " Advocate the separation of military and political affairs and take responsibility. He bought foreign guns, cannons and ships, which promoted the modernization of China's military weapons. To run the army, strict military discipline is the first, and at the same time, it is intended to cultivate "harmony" and the soldiers are United. He believes that "the general has the heart of death, and the foot soldiers have no life." There are four requirements for selecting candidates: "First, knowing people and being good at their duties, second, being good at containing the enemy's situation, third, being brave in doing things, and fourth, doing business in an orderly way." Zeng Guofan's strategy and tactics are the most abundant in his military thoughts, which are worth learning today. For example, "use soldiers like rabbits." Quiet as a virgin ",the technique of subject and object is wonderful," Zhazhai fights to the death ",the navy should not attack with the wind, choose a good camp," self-government first, then enemy control ",attack the city in deep trenches and high bases, attack the city in tunnels, cooperate with land and water, use static braking," pull out the roots first, then the headland "and so on.
The way to make friends in life
Zeng Guofan is quite insightful about the way of making friends. He believes that it is important to be generous to make friends, and to "be honest and upright, compromise and be tolerant, but be selfless and suspicious." "Don't take advantage of others in everything. Don't take other people's money seriously. " Brainstorm, listen without being deaf. "The way to observe people is to be ethical but not bureaucratic, organize more and talk less." In terms of life, Zeng Guofan believes that "in this troubled times, the poorer the better." As a senior official, "it is always good to have less money and less production." "forbearance is the first priority for officials", "virtue is damaged by fullness, and happiness is reduced by arrogance". Men must be careful with the word "light". "It is not particularly rich and famous. The prosperity of his family name is determined by heaven, that is, whether the virtue of learning is established is mostly related to heaven. Just laugh it off." "Don't do your own work, don't do your own fame", "The sooner you retire, the better". Zeng Guofan wrote twelve proverbs, which basically summarized his way of making friends in life.
Self-cultivation strategy
Zeng Guofan summed up twelve aspects of cultivation: respect, sitting quietly, getting up early, reading books, reading history, being cautious, nourishing qi, keeping in good health, knowing that the sun will die, knowing that the moon will die, writing, and staying indoors at night. He believes that the ancient people's self-cultivation has four effects: "Caution alone gives birth to kindness, respect and strengthen the body, benevolence and joy, sincerity and respect". Zeng Guofan did not believe in medicine, monks and witches, immortals, honesty, cleverness, truth and wealth. "Life is poor, know life has no worries."
Character cultivation is helpful to his career. First of all, he is sincere and consistent in appearance, and everything can be made public. The second is respect, awe, no evil thoughts in my heart, dignity and dignity. The third is silence. Mind, qi, spirit and body should be in a state of peace and relaxation. The fourth word is sincerity, no boasting, no lying, no empty talk, truth, one is one, and the other is two. The fifth word remains the same, with regular life, moderate diet and regular daily life. The highest state is "cautious independence", with a god holding his head three feet high. He kept a diary every day, checked and reflected on his words and deeds every day, and in his later life, he constantly put forward more requirements for himself: to be diligent, modest, kind, honest, to know life, to cherish happiness, and so on, in an effort to make himself a saint at that time. Many people think that personality cultivation is an empty thing, and that cultivation is an ethereal thing, even a pedantic thing, but Zeng Guofan's lifelong career and cultivation are the most important reasons for his career success.
Zeng Guofan thought: "there are about five things in the method of keeping in good health: first, always sleep and eat;" Second, punish poverty; Third, abstinence; Fourth, wash your feet before going to bed every night; Fifth, walk three thousand steps after two meals a day. " The four words "eyesight", "rest", "sleep" and "diet" are the most important ways to maintain health, and you should know how to recuperate when you are recovering from illness.
Zeng Guofan ordered himself twelve courses:
Main aspects: neat and serious, clear and clear in the bow, such as the rising sun.
Sit-in: Sit-in for four hours at any time every day to keep calm, such as Zhen Ding.
Get up early: get up at dawn, and don't cling to love after waking up.
Reading is the only way: don't read his book until it is finished.
Reading history: read three histories (Historical Records, Hanshu and Houhanshu) and circle ten pages every day, although things are uninterrupted.
Attention: Pay attention to the moment, the first time.
Nourishing qi: there is nothing to say to people when the gas storage is demonstrated.
Fitness: saving labor, abstinence and dieting.
Know everything every day: read and record your thoughts every day. Seeking deep meaning is eccentricity.
Yuezi never forgets what he can do: write a few poems every month to test the accumulated amount and the prosperity of qi. Don't indulge in ignorance, it's easiest to drown your heart.
Writing: Write for half an hour after dinner. Any pen and ink entertainment is regarded as your own course. Never wait until tomorrow, the more you accumulate, the harder it is to get rid of it.
Don't be exhausted when you go out at night.
Zeng Guofan's skill of knowing people by employing people
How to use people, especially how to use the right people, is extremely profound. Zeng Guofan's way of employing people is an important part of his success in life. He never blindly selects people and confuses authorization. Instead, he should keep his eyes open and follow the method of "he who sees through people first uses people", which shows his leadership and management wisdom.
Four methods of employing people: doing, saving, learning and forbidding;
Understand people's essence, qi and spirit;
Appoint three kinds of people: wisdom, speech and labor; Zeng Guofan inherited the independent style of Tongcheng School Fang Bao and Yao Nai, and founded the "Xiangxiang School", an ancient prose in the late Qing Dynasty. He talks about ancient prose, emphasizes the sonorous tone and tries his best to cover it up. Ancient prose is profound and magnificent, which can convey the spirit of Han Fu, so it has a magnificent artistic conception and can get rid of the disadvantages of Tongcheng School, which is called by later generations. The Zeng family had a patriarchal clan system in Tongcheng, but it changed and developed later. As a model of the text, he compiled a hundred kinds of miscellaneous notes on classics and history, which is not controlled by Tongcheng and is called Xiangxiang School in the world. Yan Fu, Lin Shu, Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao were all influenced by his writing style in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He is the author of hundreds of Quezhai Anthology, Poetry, Reading Record, Diary, Shu Shu, Letters from Home, Family Tune, Miscellanies of Classics and History, and 18 poems. No less than 100 volumes, known as the Complete Works of Zeng, spread all over the world. He is also the author of The Way of Learning and Five Proverbs. Zhu Dongan's Selected Works of Zeng Guofan
