Zeng Guopan, a modern politician, strategist, neo-confucian and writer in China, was one of the four famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that the existence of him and three other famous ministers kept the Qing Dynasty going for 50 years. He was a pioneer of China's modernization, built the first warship and opened the first ordnance school, which was the first time he proposed to send overseas students to learn advanced western technology. Many of these international students have become the pillars of the motherland. He did business all his life, suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, recruited talents, and made many great achievements. The official to the governor of Liangjiang, the governor of Zhili, and the university student of Wuyingdian were awarded the first-class Yi, named. However, Zeng Guopan has made great achievements not only in politics and military affairs, but also in ideology and culture. Many of Zeng Guopan's words and deeds, as well as many of his words, are very enlightening, so the world calls him half a saint.

Three commandments of Zeng Guopan: Don't talk too much, don't get angry, and don't beg. Although the world calls Zeng Guopan a semi-saint, saints are also human beings and cannot be surpassed. The sanctity of Zeng Guopan is not that he is perfect. That is, despite his shortcomings, he warned himself wholeheartedly, corrected his shortcomings and guided himself on the right path. Zeng Guopan's Three Commandments came into being under such circumstances. It was Zeng Guopan who put forward the idea of warning himself from time to time after realizing his own shortcomings.

Don't say too much.

The Book of Rites says: Bad words don't come from your mouth, angry words don't go against your body, and idioms are lost when you talk too much, which shows its importance. The first rule is not to talk too much, that is, Zeng Guopan told himself to talk less.

After Zeng Guopan entered the Hanlin, he once celebrated his father's birthday and invited many relatives and friends. One of them is very close to Zeng Guopan, and they are outspoken and casual together. But that day, Zeng Guopan drank too much because he was happy. I didn't know what he said was offensive, so I left at that time. After waking up, Zeng Guopan regretted it very much and reflected: there are three major problems in this matter: I don't believe in disrespect on weekdays and rely too much on each other, and I also; Compared with that time, one is out of line, disgusted with rudeness, and the other is; After the quarrel, people, I am shameless and unreasonable. Bad words don't come out of your mouth, and angry words don't show up on your body. I don't know. Why ask others? Remember this and take it as a warning!

Restrain anger

Anger is an emotional expression of people. But if a person is too grumpy, there must be something wrong with him. The reason why Zeng Guopan wants to abstain from anger is actually to create a healthy psychological environment, so as to achieve the realm of surprise and surprise. In order to achieve such a spiritual realm, Zeng Guopan also specially learned the method of meditation from his good friend Feng Shutang. The method of nourishing qi can only be known, but not done.

Quit begging

To quit begging is to give up greed.

Zeng Guofan once wrote such a poem to his brother Ceng Guoquan: Zhong Ming slanders books in the left column, and there are multiplication and division everywhere in the world. He bowed his head and worshipped the sheep, saying that all space. Tell his brother that if someone says hello, naturally someone will say that you are not good. Fame and fortune are actually floating clouds, as long as you can stick to your sincerity. Just like Zeng Guopan himself, after his Xiang army suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it reached its peak for a while. Some even advised him to proclaim himself emperor, but Zeng Guopan chose to kill the Xiang army himself, focusing on the overall situation.
