Read the complete works of Zeng Guofan's Feng Shui legends

1On a hot day in August, 867, Zeng Guofan chatted with Zhao Liewen, a disciple of his staff, and saw that Zeng Guofan's Liangjiang Governor's office didn't even have a famous calligraphy and painting. Zhao Liewen asked him, Won't people laugh at you for being too modest? Zeng Guofan said: "In the future, if you write an epitaph for me, you can add this sentence." Zhao Liewen replied, "Teacher, you have compiled books and chronicles for decades, and such moral articles will not be written in the afterlife for thousands of years. I'm afraid I don't have a big hand to cut your back accurately. "

1on the fourth day of February, 872, Zeng Guofan died at the governor's office in Nanjing at the age of 62.

When the Qing court got the news, it first descended to the DPRK for three days, and the highest level represented by Cixi held an emergency meeting to study and set the tone for Zeng Guofan's outstanding contribution to the Qing Dynasty, especially to affirm Zeng Guofan's outstanding contribution to pacifying the civil strife of the Taiping Army, and to give a posthumous gift to a teacher. And awarded the highest honor behind them-posthumous title Zheng Wen, which made Zeng Guofan the only eight people in the Qing Dynasty who won the posthumous title. At this point, Zeng Guofan completed the final conclusion of the Qing Dynasty.

Zeng Guofan's spiritual world is quite contradictory, and even there have been many cases of "knowing and doing differently".

In his letter to his family, he once vowed: "I don't believe in Feng Shui at ordinary times", but I was very concerned about the burial of my ancestors, and even tied my fate to the grave. After his grandmother was buried in the graveyard chosen by his grandfather, Zeng Guofan reported with joy in his family book: "After his grandmother was buried, everything went well at home, his illness was cured, and his tinea was cured, and he was promoted to the second level at once." After that, Zeng Guofan began to believe in Feng Shui from never to abnormal.
