"Ting Jing" is a "case-breaking work" written by Zeng Guofan during his lifetime. In Li Hongzhang's words, this book is the secret to "proficient in nature and keeping oneself in the world". The so-called "strength" means that the power cannot be used up, the merit cannot be monopolized, the famous names must be given some concessions, and the strong and soft must be combined with each other, and do nothing but do everything; when the goal is reached, no further progress can be made; the lack itself is perfection.

Reader comments
There are more than 200 descendants of the Zeng family who are leaders in various fields. Thanks to Zeng Guofan's family culture, we also benefit from Zeng Lao's thoughts and ideas. Reading this book as one of the three classics will make you a lot better.
I particularly agree with what he calls the mental quality of the "inner sage". As the book says, being cautious in solitude is the highest state of self-cultivation. I have been married for so many years, and I understand that only by maintaining this mentality at home and at work can we better cope with various challenges. Moreover, other perspectives mentioned in the book were also very enlightening and made me think more about my own life. I think this book is not only suitable for boys, but also suitable for everyone. I recommend it to you!
Zeng was a semi-sage in Confucianism and Taoism, and he and Yangming Gong were the only Confucian people who established moral principles and meritorious service.
Well written and beautiful.
I will continue to study🀄️, it makes sense, I am studying hard!
Zeng Gong's great work swept away confusion, and the whip penetrated the heart, and the dirt in the heart was washed away. Read regularly, irritability subsides, alarm bells sound, and evil thoughts disappear.
Good, very good, very good, thank you 100%!
This book explains in detail various situations in life from all aspects, and also introduces in detail how to deal with them. It's a rare good book
