What is housekeeping? Family style is clear, warm and just. Zeng Guofan's family letter is such a book that contains the way of managing the family.

"Letters from Zeng Guofan" has a wide range of contents, including the way of running the army and politics, as well as the talk of dealing with the world. Since its first publication, it has been widely circulated, and it is a very important material for studying Zeng Guofan himself.

Zeng Guofan's letters from home are leisurely, free in form and free in writing, and contain true knowledge and good words in plain family affairs.

Zeng Guofan studied hard all his life and did a lot of research in self-cultivation, scholarship, politics and health preservation. He advocated Confucianism, emphasizing practical application, and became another "Confucian dog teacher" after Confucius, Mencius and Zhu.

Zeng Guofan's letters are divided into 10 parts: self-cultivation, scholarship, family planning, politics, life, military management, employing people, teachers and friends, financial management and health preservation. Bian Xiao chose three parts and made reading notes, which benefited a lot. Not only because of Zeng Guofan's insight, but also because of his affection, care, erudition, diligence, thrift and introspection.

Another thing worth learning is that Zeng Guofan attached great importance to the art of speaking in his correspondence with his family, which is worth learning from each of us.

This is a book that hates being late.
