Assess the first hero and commander-in-chief of the peasant uprising in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the founder and commander-in-chief of the Xiang Army, and their military achievements are dazzling;

With the ability to see acquaintances, legends are fantastic. When we meet for the first time, we can predict a person's future and destiny by observing him.
He has his own set of epistemology about Feng Shui and fate.
These chats all feel safe and a little scary. In fact, Zeng Guofan has many inspirations and reference values for ordinary people.
Zeng Guofan's qualification is average, and he was a bit "stupid" in his early years. His life course is a bit like Guo's. Rely on their own constant self-reflection, self-improvement, thoroughly remould oneself, and made N achievements.
Middle-aged people have successfully changed themselves and successfully transformed themselves. People's stereotypes and changes have always been a problem that puzzles many people. Zeng Guofan clearly analyzed himself by publishing diaries and other means, showing everyone the possibility and happy ending of a person's own change and self-transformation.
Everything is more important than persistence. Persistence is victory, and you have the confidence to die. Zeng Guofan committed suicide three times in the military struggle of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. From food, clothing, housing and transportation, to the code of conduct for officials, to learning and upgrading, to military struggle, principles are being established and strictly observed.
In fact, after reading Zeng Guofan's basic necessities, as an official's behavior, I feel that this person's life is very bitter haha. Spiritually, introspection and self-cultivation take the road of asceticism; Materially more frugal, life is extremely difficult; In officialdom, we are strict with ourselves, but we are quite flexible and have double standards in treating others.
Firmly believe in change, persist in study and reflection every day, take honesty as a teacher, dare to do anything, and have made achievements beyond that in many aspects of reading and work. God will never let a person succeed casually. "You must work hard first, starve his body and empty his body", and then keep on insisting. This is still the best reference book for our students today.
"Don't help, look at how high the flat is!"
