Complete Works of Zeng Wenzhenggong

In the text: I think that if I want to use useful talents, I should not go outside the scope and let them engage in academics. Zhuge Liang, a minister of the Han Dynasty, said: "Talents must learn, and learning requires knowledge." Gai Zhi Lun, but all talents who want to learn are eager to learn, and they set an example better than me, the emperor, so they can control the foundation of transference. After Emperor Sheng Zuren came to power, he was diligent in learning and asking questions. The Confucian officials gave lectures day by day, regardless of the cold or heat, and the Wanshou Holy Festival was not allowed to stop. The three vassals also continued to use troops. They summoned the courtiers and discussed with them back and forth. Therefore, there were many talented people and many good scholars at that time. These wise sayings are still very reasonable and can be practiced today.

Zeng Wenzhenggong is Zeng Guofan, and Zeng Guofan is a master of history. This book is a collection of books written by Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guofan's deeds. Zeng Guofan was a famous strategist, military strategist, and Neo-Confucian in modern China. His wisdom is still valuable today. I highly recommend that those of us who are very interested in historical figures read this book. His insights into history and his family letters with warnings to his family are very useful to read today.

Zeng Guofan was an important politician, military strategist and educator in the late Qing Dynasty. He was born in Hunan Province and was eager to learn since childhood. He held a series of important positions in officialdom and participated in the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion. His works and letters were compiled into "The Complete Works of Zeng Wenzhenggong", which includes his political theory, military strategy, educational concepts and other aspects. The contents of the book had a profound impact on the fields of politics, military and education in modern China. He said: "Reading thousands of volumes, writing is like a god", emphasizing the importance of reading and writing for self-cultivation, cultivation and creativity.

As a biography, its content can be said to be very detailed. Moreover, it can be said that everything is detailed, because the book not only includes some of Zeng Guofan's well-known political and military achievements, but also includes some details of his dealings with others. It shows this person's life from all aspects and has produced a very three-dimensional image. When the country was in danger, he abandoned his pen and joined the army to turn the tide. He has certain attainments in literature and military affairs. At the same time, the details in the book can also be seen as he cherishes his own army officers. He is able to go to court and go to the military camp, and he is a bright star in the long history of history.

The whole book was compiled by dozens of scholars, celebrities, officials and gentry. Based on the original text, a lot of processing and arrangement work was also carried out in an attempt to pass on Zeng Guofan's knowledge to future generations. The whole work includes one volume of the first volume, thirty volumes of memorials, thirty-three volumes of letters, twenty-eight volumes of poems written by eighteen schools of thought, twenty-six volumes of miscellaneous works of classics and history, six volumes of manuscripts, four volumes of collected works, four volumes of poetry collections, and two volumes of Ming Yuantang's essays. , Two volumes of compendium of hundreds of classics and history, ten volumes of Qiuquezhai's reading records, two volumes of Qiuquezhai's diary notes, four volumes of miscellaneous works, twelve volumes of chronology, etc. The complete collection is very complete. This is a book that requires time and effort to read slowly.

"If you think carefully about the ancient craftsmanship, there are four main reasons for its effectiveness: it is said to be cautious and independent, and the mind will be peaceful. It is said to be respectful, and the body will be strong. It is said to seek benevolence, and people will be happy. It is said to be sincere, and it will be sacred. Those who are cautious and independent will not neglect the subtle, follow the reason, and introspect without guilt, so the heart will be peaceful. The person who is respectful will be neat and solemn on the outside, dedicated and pure on the inside, and will be unremitting in the village, so the body will be strong. The person who seeks benevolence will have a strong body. If you use your heart to nourish your people, you will be self-less, and your friends will be happy. If you think sincerely, your heart will be honest, and your words will be sincere, and you will be sincere and sincere, so the effect of the four will be achieved. I am still thinking about my merits in case of emergencies. "I have benefited a lot from reading it again, and it has a good guiding effect on my life.

This book is great! It is the essence of Zeng Guofan's life knowledge. It not only tells the principles of life, work and knowledge, but also covers a lot of life wisdom. I especially like some of the content in the book about self-cultivation and family management, which I find very practical.
