Zeng Guofan's Brief Introduction and Excerpts from Family Letters and Instructions
Zeng Guofan's Brief Introduction, Letters from Home and Excerpts from the Original Letters from Home
Self-confidence is nothing more than a letter from Qin Shen to Zeng Guofan.
At the height of my family's prosperity, there were nearly 20,000 generals and four or five thousand people. How many people have left this place recently? Since six months ago in Yuan Di, how many people have worshipped Jun-eun seven times, and recently they look like brothers? In a day, the moon is full, the moon is full, and the family is full.
Guan Ziyun: When the bucket is full, people will generalize; when people are full, the sky will generalize. I said that the sky was almost invisible, and it was still a fake hand. Flint is complete, Wei Xiang is generalized, and Xuan Di is generalized. Zhuge Ke is complete, Sun Jun is almost complete, and Wu Zhu is almost complete. It's too late to regret the arrival of others. When my family is rich, don't wait for the arrival of the nobles. My brothers and I should try to summarize ourselves first. What is the way to summarize ourselves? It is nothing more than the word "serious and diligent". Recently, I changed the word "Qing" to "Lian", "Shen" to "Qian" and "Diligence" to "Lao", which was very simple and made me do something.

My family is in its heyday, and I am fighting for the position of the boss. Yuan Di has nearly twenty thousand troops, and Ji Di has four or five thousand troops. How many times has this happened in modern times? In the past six months, Yuan Di has thanked Jun-eun seven times. How many of them have been like this recently? The sun will set in the west at noon. When the moon is round, it means it will be short. My house is full.
The pipe said: when the bucket is full, it will be scraped; People are complacent, and it's up to the sky to scrape them off. I said that the leveling of the sky is invisible, or that it depends on people using artificial hands to level it. Flint is full, leveled by Wei Xiang and leveled by Xuan Di. Oshima Geke was full, leveled by Sun Jun and leveled by Wu Zhu. Wait for someone else to shave before you regret it. It's too late to regret! When my family is well-off, I should try my best to shave by myself, without waiting for the day or others to shave. How about scraping yourself flat?
It is nothing more than three words: clear, cautious and diligent. Recently, I changed the word "Qing" to "Lian", changed the word "Shen" to "Qian" and changed the word "diligent" to "old", which was particularly clear and simple, and I did something wrong.

Mingde, Xinmin and Zhi Zeng Guofan's Letter from Zeng Guofan.
There are only two things we have to study: first, carry forward morality, stress honesty and integrity, and be carefree; When a person studies, he practices the art of reciting words and chapters in order to defend himself.
If a guy doesn't study, he will, that is, if he calls himself a scholar, he will engage in "university".
"University" has three programs: Mingde, Xinmin and Perfect, all of which are internal affairs. What's the use of reading if you can't be considerate of your body and say that these three things have nothing to do with my body? Although he can write poetry, Boya boasts that he can only be regarded as a literate herdsman, pig and slave! Can you call it a reasonable and useful person? The selection of scholars by the imperial court means that they can speak on behalf of the sages, understand the principles of the sages, and make a trip to the sages so that they can stay in office and make contributions to the people.

There are only two things in our study: first, we can be worthy of our parents by improving our moral quality and practicing the methods of learning honesty, integrity, self-cultivation and family harmony; First, study books and practice reciting and memorizing words and chapters so that rice can defend itself.
People just don't study. As long as they call themselves scholars, they must act according to the university.
There are three programs in "University": showing virtue, teaching people to be kind and reaching the highest level, all of which are within my duty. What's the use of reading if you can't attach these three things to yourself and say that these three things have nothing to do with yourself? Even if you can write articles, write poems, claim to be learned, and follow the rules, you can only be regarded as a cultured pig! How can you say that he is a reasonable and valuable person? The imperial court selected scholars according to the articles they made in the examination, saying that they could write books on behalf of sages, and they would certainly understand the truth of sages and implement their methods, so as to be officials and manage the people. He set an example himself.
Brief introduction of Zeng Guofan
Zeng Guofan (1811872) was born in Xiangxiang County, Changsha City, Hunan Province (now Shuangfeng County, Loudi City, Hunan Province), and was born in Shi, Han nationality. In the late Qing dynasty, he was the founder and commander-in-chief of Xiang Army. Military strategist and politician in Qing Dynasty, founder of Huxiang Prose School in late Qing Dynasty. One of the four famous ministers of ZTE in the late Qing Dynasty, from the official to the governor of Liangjiang, the governor of Zhili and the university student of Wuyingdian, was awarded the first-class righteous Hou Yong, and the Japanese were correct.
From Zeng Guofan's letters, it is not difficult to find that he is very strict in educating himself and his family. Zeng Guofan was the most powerful Han Chinese in the Qing government, but he was in office for more than 20 years. Apart from his old house, he has never built a house in the province, nor has he bought an inch of land. He personally founded two Huaiyin tickets. The face value of this salt is 220 silver, but the interest is very high. The annual interest is 4200 silver.
Later, this salt ticket rose from 220 to 22,000. At that time, as long as there were one or two such salt tickets at home, it could be called a wealthy family. However, Zeng Guofan specifically told his family not to accept salt tickets. Many years after his death, their family didn't have such a salt ticket. If he relied on his power and position at that time, it would be extremely easy to get one or two hundred such salt tickets. It doesn't seem illegal, but it is to get tickets according to the rules. Relying on his own power for personal gain is something Zeng Guofan failed to do. He once swore to his employees that he would not take any money from the army and send it home! For decades, he kept his promise.
Zeng Linshu has four daughters and five sons, Zeng Guofan is the second child, and there are one elder sister, three younger sisters and four younger brothers at the top. Because the youngest sister died young, there are actually eight brothers and sisters. Zeng Guofan is the oldest of the five brothers. For his younger brothers, he did his duty as a brother, thinking that this was filial piety. If you can't teach your brother to become famous, it's unfilial. Zeng Guofan regards learning morality as the foundation of his younger brother.
Several younger brothers understand everything in principle, but in practice, they are always unsatisfactory. If the country is lazy and impetuous, Guohua cannot stand setbacks and the country lacks self-control. In this regard, Zeng Guofan earnestly taught his brothers to be determined and concentrate. Zeng Guofan cared about his younger brothers' studies, and participated in their opinions in choosing their studies, choosing teachers, supporting their younger brothers to study in provincial capitals, and paying tuition fees. Several younger brothers went to Beijing to study beside Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan not only personally taught his younger brothers to read, but also donated to build prisons for them to carry out scientific research and create conditions. But the most fundamental thing is to hope that my younger brothers can see things clearly and cultivate their self-cultivation through reading. Zeng Guofan encouraged and attached importance to the criticism of his brothers.
Under the education and influence of Zeng Guofan, several younger brothers grew up to meet Confucian standards. He became the commander-in-chief of the Xiang army, and once took care of housework, clan affairs and local affairs in his hometown, becoming an influential local elite. And was killed in the war to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
