Zeng Guofan said: People's temperament is difficult to change due to their innate nature, but reading and studying can change people. "Zeng Guofan's Nine-Nine Strategies for Successful Great Events" provides people with an opportunity to learn. Of course, Zeng Guofan belonged to the feudal era after all. His hatred for the peasants in the Taiping Rebellion came from the bottom of his heart, and he spared no expense and life to protect the late Qing Dynasty, which was about to collapse. This is what we want to deny.
Reader comments
This book mentions that people's temperament can be changed through learning, and I agree with it. Just like I learned dance since I was a child, it not only made me more temperamental, but also exercised my willpower. However, Zeng Guofan hated the rebellious peasants and worked for the late Qing Dynasty. This was his historical limitation. We must look at it from a dialectical perspective, take its essence and discard its dross.
