When talking about the general trend of the world, if things are divided for a long time, they will be united, and if they are united for a long time, they will be divided. The same is true for the ups and downs of officialdom.
Have you ever thought that a hundred years ago, in the turbulent late Qing Dynasty, there was one person who, as a scholar, managed to make great achievements in the officialdom?
Have you ever wondered what kind of resourcefulness and cultivation can turn a scholar into a political superstar and be worshiped by future generations?
The book "Officials Should Learn from Zeng Guofan" is to take you back to that era and reveal the secrets behind Mr. Zeng.
Zeng Guofan is now on the altar, but at the beginning he also waded through the quagmire step by step.
This book is not just a lie, it is straight to the point. It tells the story of Mr. Zeng's youth when he first entered the officialdom, how he managed to survive in a court where corruption was rife; from the wars that quelled the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to the steps he took in the Westernization Movement. As you read it, hey, you really get a taste of it.
Zeng Guofan was not only a master of state governance, but also a master of moral cultivation. His "Standing the Meridian" is not only a secret book for dealing with villains, but also a mental method for self-cultivation. Through a letter from the family, we can seem to see this big man holding a pen under the lamp, writing every word carefully, teaching his children and nephews how to stand firm in troubled times, and how to maintain their true intentions in the world of fame and fortune.
In short, the book "Officials Should Learn from Zeng Guofan" is like brewing a pot of good tea for you, allowing you to unknowingly absorb the essence of Master Zeng's wisdom on officialdom survival and life in a relaxed atmosphere. Regardless of whether you want to make a name for yourself in the workplace or are simply interested in that period of history, reading this book will definitely make you want to put it down and enjoy it.
