A large part of Zeng Guofan's historical achievements is due to his powerful "art of knowing people". In zeng guofan's letters to future generations, we want to know whether a person is a gentleman or a villain, mainly look at these 2 points, and look at a quasi.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > interesting</h1>
Zeng Guofan said in a letter to his descendant Ouyang Xun: "Mortals are highly talented, depending on their interests. The lowly are in the vulgar and vulgar rules, and the more and more polluted, the high ones are admiring the track of Zhe Shenglong, and the day is wise, and the wise and foolish are not wise, and the reason is not. ”
This means that if you want to know whether a person is a gentleman or not, you must look at the other person's ambitions and interests. People who aspire to be inferior are content with popular, mediocre, despicable habits, and tend to be increasingly dirty and inferior. The aspirant followed the broad-minded and wise trajectory of the ancient sages, and thus grew closer to the sublime and sensible.
From our perspective, this is indeed the case. Those who like to get up early, love to read and study, fitness and sports will often go uphill, on the contrary, those who like to eat, drink and have fun, covet material enjoyment, live a comfortable life like Adou every day, in fact, they are consuming their own vitality, which is a sign of life's decline.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > look at thoughts when alone</h1>
Zeng Guofan wrote in the "Classic of Ting": The villain is born of the delusion of a single thought for his own sake, accumulates delusion and is arrogant, and deceives others.
It means that when the little person is alone, he often has bad thoughts, and over time, he accumulates more, and it is easy to act arbitrarily, and naturally he will do bad things.
To this end, Zeng Guofan put forward the requirement of "cautious independence", which means that when people are alone, they must also be strictly self-disciplined, and they cannot do things that violate principles because there is no one to supervise them.
If you can also be cautious in your thoughts, words, and behavior when you are alone, you can be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth and the questioning of ghosts and gods. In the long run, the heart will be stable and calm, which is exactly what a gentleman needs and can do.
Therefore, with reference to Zeng Guofan's knowledge of the people, when looking at people, we must look at a person's interests and thoughts when they are alone, so that we can know whether a person is a gentleman or a villain.
I have to say that Zeng Guofan's recognition of people really helped him a lot.
Zeng Guofan as a "half sage" of the late Qing Dynasty, his life can be said to be very instructive. Before the age of 30, many people and many things are not accustomed to it, and getting along with colleagues is also self-centered. However, after entering the official field later, he changed his ideas and style, and eventually achieved the first minister of zhongxing in the late Qing Dynasty.
