About This Novel
The "Mingyuantang Essay" in this volume is a collection of memorials by famous officials since the Han and Tang Dynasties compiled by Zeng Guofan, with a total of seventeen articles. Zeng Guofan felt that he had been "stranded among the soldiers for a long time", and his younger brothers came to help him in times of need, all because of "emergency." This kind of brotherly love is deep, especially like the situation when a wagtail bird strays from the flock and the rest sing. Therefore, the purpose of the two poems "Chang Di" and "Xiao Wan" in the "Book of Songs" is "wagtail", and the hall is named "Mingyuan Hall" to express the fraternal love of "fighting brothers", and the title of the memorial collection was drafted. Zeng Guofan gave "detailed criticism" and "discussing the meaning and method" of the selected memorials, hoping that his two brothers, Zeng Guohua and Zeng Guoquan, could understand and master the gist of writing the memorials. ; "Collected Poems" is Zeng Guofan's own collection of poems. It is divided into four volumes, and the beginning and end of the poetry creation are marked before each volume. Most of Zeng Guofan's poems are ancient style poems and rhythmic poems, with very few quatrains. The language is natural and simple, focusing on narrative. For example: "Lotus flowers are like the sea in summer, and thousands of willows are hanging down in spring." "There are few fallen sounds and broad books, and suspicious post messengers."; "Collected Works" is mainly the birthday preface or epitaph written by Zeng Guofan to his colleagues. Either the emotions are sincere or the writing is simple, there are many things that are worth mentioning.
