Scholars hope to learn from him the experience of self-cultivation and scholarship; Officialdom people hope to learn from him the experience of being an official in politics, so that they can embark on the fast lane and rise to the top; Parents hope to learn from his way of managing the family and educating children, and cultivate excellent children and grandchildren. It can be said that Zeng Guofan left a lot of spiritual wealth to future generations.
Through understanding Zeng Guofan's life, we know that his personal efforts and influence played an important role from a scholar to a big official of the Qing court, from leading troops to the Westernization Movement. Those spiritual wealth still have great reference significance for us today.
Today, I want to tell you a story about his handling of people, which may inspire you.
In our work, we have to deal with all kinds of relationships and things every day. Being able to handle affairs has become an important symbol of evaluating a person's ability in today's society. How can I do one thing well?
Zeng Guofan told us: Know things first, then do things.
Zeng Guofan believes that if people want to achieve something in this life, they must first understand things. To be reasonable is to know the truth of the matter and have your own judgment on the cause and effect of the matter.
He once wrote in Zeng Guofan's family precepts:
"Ignorance is ridiculous, and righteousness is ridiculous; The villain is solid, and the gentleman is also awkward. "
It means that if you can't even do things, then whether you are a gentleman or a villain, whether you are out of public interest or selfishness, you can't do things well.
Why is Governor Zeng Guofan so important? What should I do if I am entrusted? Please look at his story. ...
In the four years of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan was appointed Governor of Liangjiang and held a high position. One day, he was processing official documents at home when he suddenly heard something outside the hospital. An old voice shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let me in! I'm looking for Hiroichi! "
"What are you looking for? How dare an old country man run wild in front of our governor's house! "
Zeng Guofan in the mind a surprised, his real name is take off your coat, home elders all know. He hurried out and saw an old man dressed as a farmer pushing and shoving with the porter. The old man was none other than Zeng Guofan's michel platini.
Zeng Guofan personally welcomed michel platini into the mansion, and took wine and delicacies as guests. During the dinner, the old man prevaricated and said he had something to ask:
Originally, Zeng Guofan's ancestral home in michel platini was in Hunan, and his ancestral grave had excellent geomantic omen. This treasure trove of geomantic omen was valued by a local rich man at that time. The rich man first paid a high price for the land. Because it is a ancestral grave, the old man naturally refused. When the rich man saw that he couldn't buy it, he bribed the local government and wanted to rob it.
The old man was so popular that he had to hang himself. Fortunately, someone next door reminded him: "You are really promising as a godson. Why don't you ask him for help? "
Hearing the truth, the old man rushed to Nanjing anxiously and asked Zeng Guofan for help.
Zeng Guofan listened and said to michel platini, "Don't worry, I have my own way."
So he ordered his family to accompany him to michel platini to play around in Nanjing, and sent people back to Hunan to investigate the reasons.
The people sent to Hunan will come back in two days. The fact is that the rich man is bullying others, just as the old man said. This is Zeng Guofan's heart in order to have a score. More importantly, he was not blinded by emotions, but conducted a truth investigation to determine the facts.
The next day, the Governor's Office was decorated with lanterns.
When the new governor took office, dignitaries from all over the south of the Yangtze River came to congratulate him. When people came here, Zeng Guofan invited Platini.
Also wrote an inscription for the old man in public, saying:
Such as the father's right servant, such as Zeng Guofan.
The effect is that michel platini is at the scene, and Zeng Guofan, the adopted son, offers sacrifices.
In the afternoon, Zeng Guofan wrote a fan for the old man and spread it among the major yamen in the south of the Yangtze River.
Now, the difficulties of the elderly can be solved without the personal intervention of the governor.
In fact, this way of dealing with things is very appropriate, and three experiences can be summarized:
First, make an accurate judgment before doing something. It is reasonable and prudent for Zeng Guofan to help michel platini through investigation and study. We will not be blinded by emotions, but respect facts and truth.
Second, think about problems and stick to principles. Zeng Guofan hated abusing power for personal gain all his life, and he didn't associate with his hometown officials at ordinary times, but michel platini had to help him. He didn't help until he was sure that the old man really had grievances. The heart of justice cannot be ignored.
Third, be flexible. If Zeng Guofan personally supports michel platini, local officials will be afraid and won't be discussed, and the inscription on the fan will help michel platini without any trace. The right medicine, let the wicked retreat, and skillfully resolve the crisis.
In our real life, it is inevitable to deal with some secular relationships, so what should we do? I believe that after reading Zeng Guofan's story, you also have some feelings and gains!
