[Reading Notes] front and side of Zeng guofan

For many people, Zeng guofan's main significance proves what kind of height a person with equal qualifications can achieve under the impetus of willpower.

Cai Yuanpei commented on these political scholars who master the power: "Since the Han Dynasty, although many thinkers have come forth, his ambition cannot be out of the range of Confucianism, but his philosophy is used to speculate on everything, they often want to be disconnected ...... There is no scientific premise for this philosophy, and it will always be based on the holy word, instead of being out of the scope of tedious philosophy. For a whole four thousand years of Chinese education, apart from the emergence of science and the success of metaphysics, it can be said that, in fact, there is no external influence, it only happens from simple to complex changes."

The old man once said, "There is no gentleman in the world, and there is no person in the world who remains unchanged. Today, we can know people who can do something, and we are gentlemen. Tomorrow we don't know people who don't know what to do, that is, people who do not know what to do, it is a gentleman, and it is very private and real-time as a villain ". With such a stand, we can take facts and evidence as the basis, take people lightly, destroy people lightly, and be independent and unafraid. "

Zeng guofan can become Zeng guofan, relying not on moral courage, but constantly updating his spirit. "The person who has been attacked by past lives can be more self-developed; the person who has not been attacked by past lives can be self-created ".

Hu Shi made a comment on ZHU Zi, saying that Zhu Zi is a very smart person. "I studied zen when I was 15 or six years old, and only after middle age can I correct his ideas, it is a secular learning that seeks to find the ultimate wisdom of the Spirit, and changes to "better understanding, better understanding, and better understanding.This is nonsense: "There are brilliant talents who are willing to make great achievements ".

The old man once had a feeling of regret for the word "stupid". In fact, he liked it. "I am a scholar of mine, I am confused about awkwardness, that is, when I am self-defeating, but I am diligent enough to make up for it, if you are careful, you cannot sell your wisdom, but the mistake is even worse ". He has always emphasized diligence and perseverance. To make things look like everything in the world, there must be two ways: one is scale, the other is skillful, and the other is from diligence and perseverance. Everyone knows this and doesn't think it is very clever. Later, I thought that his strength lies in his practice for life.

When I was studying English, the teacher said, "What is a genius?" A genius is a persistent endurance. At that time, everyone laughed and watched him talk about his path of writing, only then can we understand that the human mind must be refined like a rough rice, and then refined as a whole.

The old man said: "If you are useless, you will be able to help others. This is not what a weak person can do. It must be fierce. You can never be weak by fighting with blood ."

I am ashamed to understand what I once said. What determines success or failure is not in the height, in the place of the lie, not in the long place, or in the place of the plane. It depends on whether or not people are at risk. There is no other way.

After a few decades, he also taught his son in his book: "There are very few things in the world that do nothing, and there are only half of the people who do what they do, and half the people who do what they do ." "When there are hundreds of ends," and "only the reverse approach is acceptable ". "The so-called good guys fight their teeth and swallow blood, the real adversity is also a good way ."

After repeated movies, he became more and more aware of his critical weaknesses: he was so proud, eager, dry, and strong.

Zeng guofan finally realized that those who act too quickly seem to be strong but actually weak. The real strong in this land is the seemingly weak man. The so-called "the best in the world, the best in the world, the best in the world", "Rivers, so for the king of the valley, with its good ". The so-called "big soft non-soft, just to the beginning ". The potential rules of Chinese society cannot be swept away at once. The hypocrisy, numbness, smoothness, and deception that he used to look down upon are essential means to survive in this land.

Zeng guofan called his home for two years as the Year of "big regret". After more than a year of home residence, Zeng guofan's way of thinking has undergone a major change. Later, he recalled his change and said, "In the past, he was very confident, he was able to bend and stretch, and he was able to hide his skills. Since Ding Wei and Wu's great regret, he knows that he has no skills and he has seen others in everything. Therefore, he has been studying for nine years since Wu, which is different from that before he was forty years old ".

Previously, he always held a mentality of "everyone is drunk and I am awake" to people. Now he is trying to tolerate the ugly survival of the officialdom, to understand their difficulties, to make every effort to comfort and to make profits when necessary ".

Wu Fang's explanation of the energy and limitations of the transfer of ideas-from Zeng guofan's view of the historical ins and outsZeng guofan's complexity has had a wonderful analysis: "Zeng guofan's success mainly lies in his grasp of the essence of traditional political culture by holding his identity, employing people, governing the government, and using the 'wang baacha, there are principles and flexibility, that is, the document does not give up the right to change. He has two hands and three hands instead of only one hand, this kind of "Two Hands" pattern (the combination of Confucianism and Confucianism in a table) was practiced by Zeng guofan. It is false to say that his scientific attitude is false. The situation is indeed bad to the point where "no false is not". Therefore, Zeng guofan can say "sincere pseudodecoration '. This is probably an embarrassing truth about the history of Chinese political thoughts ."

Zeng guofan was a typical angry youth in his early years. Single-line thinking, self-defeating, cynical, and arrogant. Start with a single means, strong style, rigid to fierce, never go forward. As a result, it's a shame to hit the wall everywhere. After the middle age, Zeng guofan finally became more harmonious in the battle with the world. However, this kind of harmony is not all in his nature. It is realized from the fall again and again by the indomitable spirit. It is from the simplicity of Fang Gang. This is the difference between Zeng guofan and others. Therefore, his yuan Rong is based on simplicity and simplicity. It is different from the power of the secular smooth and witty realm. After a discount, Zeng guofan's initial heart did not change. His ambition is still "to make the Customs simple again ". He no longer thinks that he can quickly achieve his goal through thunder. However, he still believes that through the infiltration of the power, the day will be month, will still achieve this ideal. He said: "What's the beauty of customs? ." That is to say, the overall social ethos can be promoted by one or two people with the right to have the virtues, so that the people in the world can go from top to bottom, and then to the good. "The heart of one or two people is righteous, then the people and the people go to righteousness; the heart of one or two people is to benefit, then the people and the people go to profit. The trend of the people, the trend, although strong, do not dare to reverse ."

However, everything is too late. Any advantage step forward will immediately become a disadvantage. The advantage of Zuo zongtang is that he is clear and pure, while the disadvantage is that he is clear and pure. Deep in everyone's heart, there is a powerful instinct of "self-centered" and "high-Belated people. This kind of instinct can not only promote strong and strong competitions, but also make people arrogant and even jealous. Therefore, this kind of instinct must be able to cultivate, sharpen, sharpen, and harm the horse just like it can. Zuo zongtang is a human, but he is good at observing people and is not good at self-observation. Compared with Zeng guofan, his introspection is undoubtedly too far apart. For his arrogant self-confidence, he lacks the skill of making a decision. Therefore, his "straight" and his "clear" directly present the "Seeking for intent" in his heart. His two major interests in his life are all rooted in compliment and cool ratings.

He believes that friendship is more elegant, and he wants to "Be honest and upright, and believe in the disadvantages of selflessness and suspicion ". He concluded that, to be friends, we should first be honest: "People come with 'false', and I am going to be honest. For a long time, we will also be honest ". The second is Jing. "As for the way to communicate with people, the word" jing "is the main character ". Next, forgive me. "I have to stand steadily step by step, and I must know that others must also be stable. I want to work everywhere, and I want to know that others must also work. The so-called da also. Today I am in good condition, and I expect there will be adversity in the day;

Today, I am arrogant, and I expect that people from other countries will also be angry with me, or those who will be new to me ". Then there is a mess, "Just forget the machine can eliminate the public machine ". In interpersonal communication, you must not care too much about anything. Finally, we need to be "not jealous ". Zeng guofan believes that this is extremely important, so that in his later years, He used "no jealousy", that is, "No jealousy", as his will, and told future generations.

The smooth cooperation between Zeng Zuo's early stages was built upon Zeng guofan's profound cultivation. Zuo zongtang's life's attention is focused on success, and his mind lacks this effort. This is the biggest gap that once left.

From February to June, Zeng guofan spent nearly a year and a half in his hometown. This period of time is another extremely important life-related node in Zeng guofan's life, except for the hard work and self-repair of the road. Zeng guofan, who is extremely competitive, kept himself in the room like a closed Monk. sitting in the room is a whole day, thinking hard about the cause of his failure. He realized that the style of work was too rigid, which was one of the main reasons for him to hit the wall everywhere.

Do not read old and evil.

Military Affairs in Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces. Zeng guofan uses people and sets up the principle of being a person and a person of talents. He will never put this person under his or her own support and will not be promoted. He had long wanted to gain greater development space for Zuo zongtang. Zhejiang

Bao erge, a British historian, once said: "Zeng guofan is the most influential man in China. When he died, all the governors had done his jobs, and nominated by him. If he had hoped, he may have become an Emperor ." Although exaggerated, it reflects the great influence of Zeng guofan from one side.

Zeng guofan, just as ordinary people, has many shortcomings, big and small. First, the mind is impetuous and cannot sit still. Zeng guofan was naturally happy to interact with each other, and liked the excitement and humor. In the first two years of Beijing, he spent too much time in social networking. Every day, he had to go to the east to get a string of Xi, eat and eat, entertain others, and talk about games. Although he booked his own curriculum, he did not perform well. He had too little time to study carefully, and he had no time to study. In his diary, Zeng guofan said in October that after October's "stay in the museum", he "would have to work hard", but "day-to-day rest, I don't know how to spend more than 40 days ". He concluded that in his more than 40 days, in addition to writing a few letters to his family, he gave a dead letter to others. "I am all neglected, because I have been living through the day, so there is no record on the day ". Therefore, he has set up a daily class for himself in his diary. He needs to get up early every day, write one hundred big words, study Classics, read historical documents, and write poems and compositions. Second, it is arrogant and undercultivated. Although his qualifications are not very good, Zeng guofan has exceeded himself in his friends circle in the Rural Areas of Hunan, and he is also a teenager, so he once looked forward to him. When he left home to go to Beijing to serve officials, his old grandfather, who had few words but was well-known, gave him such a parting speech: "er is good, ER's official work is endless, erruo is not proud, it is better." Once. On that day, he got up early and did not get any income. But at the beginning of the afternoon, people wanted to be arrogant and could no longer do anything, then I scolded myself for being a real animal!" Section 54th: procedure of "reincarnation" (1) II. Procedure of "reincarnation": a person of thirty years is the most important watershed in Zeng guofan's life. Zeng guofan's greatest significance to future generations is that he has proved in his own practice that a person can become a superman through "cultivating changes. In other words, if a person sincerely invests in self-improvement, his skills can increase by ten times, his knowledge can be excellent ten times, his mind can be expanded ten times, and his temperament can be pure ten times. A dull person, through self-polishing, can also see thoroughly, stand up, say, do it. Those who are noisy can also become calm and calm. A paranoid person can also be open-minded and never give up.

Recently, I have made one or two good friends to learn the so-called scholars, economists, and practitioners. It was just when I first learned that the famous ministers like Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi could learn from them, and the famous scholars like Sima Qian and Han Yu could also learn from them, and the sages like Cheng and Zhu could also learn from them.

Maslow divides human needs into four levels. The first level is the food, the second level is the safe living environment, the third level is the need of interpersonal communication, and the fourth level is the fame and honor of fame and fortune. The last layer is self-implementation. Self-realization is to burn the energy of your own life to the fullest and turn yourself into a capitalized person.

The enormous potential of human beings is often unknown to humans. The so-called mediocre person is a person who has been sleeping for a lifetime. Because of his or her desire, his or her will is weak, and his or her wisdom is unknown, an ordinary person can only use a very small part of his or her potential in his or her life. Heroes are awakened. They are strong in nature and have a strong mind. They can make full use of their potential. The "Sage", or "self-fulfilling" state, is achieved through hard work, through a lot of desire winding, overcome all kinds of difficulties, the ability to mobilize their own potential to the extreme.

Zeng guofan has targeted his goal in self-realization, that is, "perfect person ". He believes that if this goal is achieved, other goals will naturally be achieved. In his letter to the younger brother, he said, "You do not have to take advantage of the cheap price:" To be a bright man and a good man, you have a good reputation, a good faith, and a casual answer, you don't have to love it." That is to say, if we become a bright and bright man, we will naturally be able to achieve daily life and success.

Zhu Xi has a deep understanding of this point. He said to His disciples, "it is necessary to encourage them to work hard and work with them! If the two sides start to fight, do not ask the first question, only the exam will go! In this way, we have done our best. If it falls on the top of the half, the half sink and the half float, it's a great deal! Zeng guofan strongly agrees with Zhu Xi's sentence. To grow people, there must be a bitter process. It's always easy and comfortable. Writing Japanese lessons to cultivate self-cultivation means that Zeng guofan understands these principles in the "hot cooking" phase of his life. Zeng guofan no longer rush to seek success, and gradually corrected his sage view. He realized that there is no Superman in the world that has no flaws and will never make mistakes. Confucius himself said: "AMAP is not more than idle, and AMAP is also acceptable ". That is to say, it would be good if the big festival was good, and there would inevitably be some discrepancies in the Section. Confucius Gao Tu Yan Hui was also honored as a saint, because he was the only one of Confucius's children who had done "three months without violating benevolence. That is to say, for three consecutive months, he insisted on being highly self-made without making mistakes. He said: like ordinary people, saints have disadvantages. "The word 'taobao' and 'desire 'are also used by the Sages. If you have little patience, you will not be hurt. It is a famous saying ."

In his later years, Zeng guofan summed up his own life experience and said that a person's life is like a fruit maturity process. Do not worry, or slack. Human efforts and daily cultivation will make a tree grow and grow quietly, and also let a person gradually mature: "no help, looking at the ground is growing ."

The above excerpt

After reading the story, I listened to luogic's thinking and talked about Zeng guofan and this book. So I 'd like to look for it.

For Zeng guofan, I have heard many things but float at the surface. This book starts from the young Zeng guofan and focuses on his and Zuo zongtang's life stories and trajectory. It can be said that two are qualified talents, the human nature is completely opposite to each other. Zuo zongtang, a wise man of tianzi, seems to have made a joke in his life. He cannot win a title by the imperial examination for a lifetime. Although Zeng guofan's qualifications are mediocre, however, the Imperial Examination and official career are still smooth. However, the young people are always angry and self-view high. Therefore, Zuo zongtang and Zeng guofan have fought for a lifetime, while Zeng guofan has worked hard in his mind, from a hot-blooded angry youth to being more tolerant than others, he accepted all kinds of social rules at that time to survive the world. Here, the story can be read slowly using books. I believe it will be helpful.

Actually, what is the significance of reading Zeng guofan? Or Zhang guofan, Li guofan ......, As a sentence in the book"For many people, Zeng guofan's main significance proves what kind of height a person with equal qualifications can achieve under the impetus of willpower. ",In fact, this sentence is quite interesting.,It does not involve words such as success, but uses "height".
