Born in the last days, brave and diligent to help ZTE, the work is immortal
Self-extricating oneself from the customs, stoicism and not pulling out the sages, changing one's life against the heavens
"Zuo Chuan" Yun: There is merit on the taishang, followed by meritorious service, followed by a statement, although it has not been abolished for a long time, this is called immortality. For thousands of years, the three immortals of "Lide, Meritorious Service, and Speech" have become the highest pursuit of Chinese scholars, but it is easy to know and difficult to do, how many people are poor in their lives, it is difficult to make achievements, the origin is unknown, and it is even more difficult to say that they have one or two in immortality. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were Western powers around the outside, strong ships and cannons pierced through the country's gates, and inside there was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that swept across the earth, social turmoil, the people lived in water and fire, and the disaster was deep. In a chaotic world, Zeng Guofan took Confucianism as the root, self-encouraged self-cultivation, aspired to be a sage, and was willing to take great risks, on the "Respect for Chen Shengde Three Ends to Prevent Fraud and Neglect", pointing directly to the faults of the Xianfeng Emperor, was ordered to handle regimental training, founded the Xiang Army, painstakingly managed, after 12 years, conquered Nanjing, pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his far-sighted thinking, looking at the world, and creating a foreign affairs movement.
The Draft History of the Qing Dynasty compares Zeng Guofan to Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, Pei Du of the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Yangming of the Ming Dynasty. Liang Qichao believes that Zeng Guofan "made virtue, meritorious service, and made promises, and the three were immortal, and his achievements shook the ancient and the present." Zeng Guofan was born in the fertile soil of traditional Chinese culture, became self-motivated and self-shaping, is an outstanding representative of Chinese scholars, his historical merits are enough to stand in the annals of history, leaving behind a more considerable spiritual wealth, "Zeng Wenzheng Complete Works" the whole book of 5.8 million words, is Zeng Guofan's disciples, students, subordinates, staff and other editors, more comprehensive preservation of Zeng Guofan's writing, is the essence of his lifelong learning. The content is mainly divided into three categories, one is the evaluation of Zeng Guofan by the outside world. For example, after the death of Zeng Guofan, the emperor gave instructions on his merits and related pensions, the sacrifice texts and inscriptions personally approved by the emperor, the biographies in the history of the country, the deeds of Zeng Guofan played by the governors of various places, Shinto inscriptions, epitaphs, and the annals of Zeng Guofan. The second is the article written by Zeng Guofan personally. Such as recitals, poems, letters, diaries, official documents of instructions, and reading notes. The third is zeng guofan's selected compilation of other people's articles. For example, 18 poems of everyone, classic articles of the Hundred Classics of History, and the sonatas of famous courtiers of past generations.
