Biography of Zeng Guofan

This is an excellent biography of a historical figure. Reading it in one sitting allowed me to understand Zeng Guofan, a controversial historical figure, from a side perspective. As the saying goes: To become an official, learn from Zeng Guofan. However, the Zeng Guofan in this work also suffered a lot in the officialdom in his early years. He was only good at summarizing and revising. Later, he got out of the predicament and became prosperous. He also paid enough tuition in the officialdom.

Reviewing this rare good book by Zeng Guofan, you can see the machinations and the tenderness of the world. What's more, the protagonist is a mortal body of flesh and blood, which makes the image of Zeng Guofan more concrete.

Zeng Guofan, the most perfect person in China in the late Qing Dynasty, was depressed when he was young, but eventually became a great leader in his later years, and soared to the sky. He became one of the few Han ministers in the history of the founding of the Qing Dynasty who entered the upper echelons of the ruling group, and single-handedly promoted Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and other famous Han ministers in the late Qing Dynasty. This book is an excellent biography of Zeng Guofan. Based on complete historical data, the author uses a peaceful writing style to tell the story of Zeng Guofan's life in detail, truly reproducing the image of a minister who supported the building in the storm.

The book is very good. It allowed me to understand the relationship between the three ministers of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang. The three important ministers admired and supported each other because of their talents. I respect Zeng Guofan's persistence, like Zuo Zongtang's intelligence and bravery, and admire Li Hongzhang's flexibility. Zeng Guofan spent his whole life in the army and ups and downs in the officialdom. He died at the age of 61. He was suffering from overwork. He wiped out the Taiping Army, allowed his younger brother to plunder Tianjing, carried out foreign affairs, set up a military factory, and handled the Tianjin religious case unfairly, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the revitalization of China! Sweet and sour, all kinds of flavors of life!

The defender of the feudal monarchy, with his ordinary appearance, is as good as the genius, and has become a model of contemporary Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism. He is the first of the three heroes of the ZTE and a supporter of the Westernization Movement. He has experienced ups and downs in his life, but he has more than ordinary people's tenacity, a discerning eye, and exhaustive efforts to continue his life for the late Qing Dynasty for 50 years. We cannot judge the ancients from today's perspective, but we can immersively review the lives of the ancients from books.

The content in the book is extremely exciting, and the description of Zeng Guofan is also vivid, making people feel like they are experiencing it personally. Zeng Guofan's father, Zeng Linshu, suffered repeated defeats. The impact of repeated defeats was admirable and deeply affected Zeng Guofan.

This book is so well written. It is restored to history. It is both true and objective. It is written with flesh and blood. It vividly displays Zeng Guofan's life trajectory before the eyes of readers. Let us deeply feel Zeng Guofan's exhaustion, self-denial, dedication and dedication to the cause of death. He is almost a perfect man, but he was born at the wrong time and was crushed by the current government. However, he still served the country and revived China. How can one person turn the tide? How pathetic!

When I was a freshman in high school, I only read about the origins of the Westernization Movement and the reasons for its failure in history books, but I didn't have a deep understanding of it. I didn't have much feeling. I just felt it was a pity. In my senior year of high school, I read his family letters, felt his spirit, and respected him as a person. He came alive in my world, like my own relative, teaching me diligently. To this day, reading this biography of Zeng Guofan and understanding his detailed life brings tears to my eyes. The author's writing style is delicate and the descriptions are very good. I think some of the personal emotional descriptions are also very touching. It is very warm and lively, not cold, and explains the facts. And that's what I like too. If you want to read something realistic, you should still read history books, or some very realistic genres.

This book has a clear structure, tight logic, realistic content, and smooth writing, but it lacks ups and downs and grandeur. Many historical events are not too prominently described and decorated, and it is as plain as a documentary, rather than like a biography of a character, with too much exaggeration. After reading it, although I have some understanding of the life of the historical figure Zeng Guofan, I don't feel much of the exaggerated admiration for a saint. I feel that Zeng Guofan's life is like a true portrayal of an ordinary person's life, but as he said, his luck is indeed much better than ordinary people. He has great talent, good teachers, friends, and useful people, so the heights he can reach throughout his life are beyond the reach of most ordinary people. And his character traits, such as timidity, cowardice, prudence, rationality, sensibility, willfulness, tolerance, toughness, early uprightness, nobility, solid eyes, smoothness and sophistication in the later stage, savvy, resourceful and decisive, calm and calm, are all the true character portrayal of an ordinary person. There is no exaggeration or underestimation. It is not the perfect image of a saint supported in the minds of us ordinary people. After reading, I realized one important thing, that is, no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes when they are immature, or everyone has a growth process. There is no instant perfection, and there is no imperfection that is always addicted to the trough. You cannot use black and white to judge a boundary. In fact, this boundary does not exist at all. A person's life is only a few decades. If you can conscientiously do a few things successfully that convince yourself and others, I think it is considered a success. As for the stumbling, stumbling, imperfect things, or things that have flaws on the road of growth, just treat it as a touchstone, and don't be too harsh. Finally, I still recommend everyone to read the biography of this historical figure.

The writing is very good and careful, and the degree of authenticity and objectivity is very high! Looking at the life course of a generation of great men and sages can be of great inspiration and educational significance to our descendants. Especially when they have different political opinions from capable people who are officials in the same dynasty, they can understand and respect each other. Being able to be grateful and repay kindness to those who have given you kindness throughout your life is also a valuable asset that our modern society lacks most and is worth learning!

The words are concise and concise, the writing is flowing, history is based on facts, and the writing is rich in emotion.

Gained a lot of knowledge. Zeng Guofan's merits are far greater than those before. The author truly presents a flesh-and-blood man in front of us, allowing us to understand history, respect history, and give thumbs up.

It tells the story of 61 years of helpless life, helplessness and falling when encountering setbacks, and then getting up again and again; from being upright and young when he first became an official, to being well versed in the way of dealing with people, which made his career a little smoother, and he was able to calmly deal with doubts and slanders; there are too many excellent qualities worth learning from, and it is a rare life model for ordinary people [laughs]

This book is very interesting! The story of Zeng Guofan is so exciting! He went from an ordinary scholar to an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty. He experienced many difficulties and setbacks, but he persisted. I think he is very powerful and I admire his courage and determination. Just like I didn't do well in the exam last time, but I didn't give up, studied hard, and finally got good results. I also like the writing style of this book, which is simple and easy to understand, making it easier for me to understand Zeng Guofan's story. I will recommend this book to my friends so that they can also understand the legendary life of Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan was a model scholar nurtured by feudal ethics. He always adhered to Confucian ethics throughout his life, was loyal to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and also adhered to the decadent dynasty. In the turbulent situation of the late Qing Dynasty, he turned the tide and created a prosperous era of Zhongxing. Create the Hunan Army, destroy the Kingdom of Heaven, run Western affairs, and learn skills. The concept of "managing the world for practical purposes and putting people first" enables it to benefit the people. The quality of perseverance and perseverance enables them to move forward courageously in the face of adversity. His broad mind and noble personality make him famous all over the world. It can be said that Zeng Guofan was the last perfect man under the feudal system.

It truly outlines the legendary tortuous life of Zeng Guofan, elaborates on the merits and demerits of the characters, and paints a magnificent historical story that makes people admire and sigh, what a magnificent person he was!

The book tells readers a real Zeng Guofan, a flesh-and-blood historical figure with detailed information, and they benefit a lot from reading it.

Most of the content is objective and more realistic than history books.

It's very interesting. This is the first biography I've read. After seeing his life's ups and downs, I don't know what to say. Maybe I haven't accumulated that kind of experience yet, so I'll save this question for the time being and wait until the future to answer it.

Zeng Guofan is known as a saint-like existence. In that turbulent era, he was able to achieve success and it was inevitable. His rights and wrongs have become the talk and reference of future generations, and they have been criticized and constituted his life!

It is a book worth studying, especially Zeng Gong. His ups and downs and glorious life are ultimately inseparable from his personal efforts, his vision, his advancement with the times, and the people who supported him. It is worthy of study by future generations.

It allowed me to see that such a famous figure is just like us ordinary people. He has a process of ignorance, stubbornness and self-righteousness. In such an environment where he is ostracized, isolated and without any support, he can not only persevere to the end, but also reflect on himself. Finally, he can sum up experience, learn lessons, and change himself in order to achieve the goal of building a career. It is worth learning. It makes me see that as long as we ordinary people believe in ourselves, learn to take advantage of the trend, learn to see the strengths of others, and cooperate with excellent people, we can also achieve success.

Rigorous historical research on the Republic of China and in-depth psychological description of Zeng Guofan created this masterpiece.

Through the detailed description of Zeng Guofan's life and deeds, the author gives readers a deeper understanding of this great politician and military strategist of the Qing Dynasty, and also makes the period of Chinese history he represents more vividly presented to readers.

This is a work with the highest level of writing that I have ever heard. At the same time, I feel deeply for Zeng Wenzhenggong who worked hard for the country throughout his life and was honest throughout his life. But he also lamented that his improper handling of the Tianjin religious case in his later years ruined a lifetime of wisdom. Just as no one is perfect in the world, there is no simple black and white...

A generation of prime ministers who have made great contributions to the country and the nation. The setbacks experienced are beyond the reach of ordinary people. A great scholar of a generation has a firm goal and direction, and always sticks to it without changing his original intention.

Rotation is the main theme of this story. At the same time, the joys, sorrows and joys of life are added to it. Under the influence of the uncontrollable and impatience of life and the background of the times, individuals follow the trend and find it difficult to calm down. If they don't follow the trend, the pain of being excluded is narrated.

The book details his way of life, self-examination and employment of people, and also has profound insights into politics and military affairs.
