Why do some people regard Zeng Guofan as a model?

There used to be a saying that "being an official should learn from Zeng Guofan, doing business should learn from Hu Xueyan, and being a man should learn from Du".

The perniciousness is deep, but it also makes sense. Zeng Guofan is really good at being an official, Hu Xueyan is also very accomplished in business, and Du is also very skilled in dealing with people.

However, with the development of society, some things are actually not good. For example, Zeng Guofan was an official, talking about power, Hu Xueyan was a business of collusion between officials and businessmen, and Du was a real underworld.

If you study these things blindly, it is actually a sign of losing yourself. People still live for themselves all their lives, and it should be themselves, not others, who please themselves. Therefore, we must learn something well, not the kind of intrigue.

Take Zeng Guofan as an example. Many people say that they want to learn from Zeng Guofan, but they give up. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was pacified, they knew how to retreat quickly and disband hundreds of Xiang armies decisively, so that they could distinguish the development of the times. It is indeed a good thing that people can stand at the top and not be carried away by victory. But for us ordinary people, how many people can stand at the peak and have the opportunity to retreat quickly?

I've been in a muddle all my life. I haven't been in the first class of high-speed rail, business class by plane, and stayed in a five-star hotel (in fact, if I can take the train instead of the high-speed rail, staying in an express hotel is already very cutting meat). And then you want us to learn to back down? Are you kidding? We must learn to forge ahead in the rapids!

I think what Zeng Guofan is most worth learning is that he can work hard in any environment, especially in the face of setbacks!

Many people may think that Zeng Guofan, as a generation of great scholars, should be a person with high academic level. In fact, Zeng Guofan is simply a stupid child with low talent. He worked hard on his own and found a way.

Zeng Guofan's family has a long history, especially after Zeng Guofan became famous, which can be traced back to five or six hundred years ago. However, when the genealogy was opened, no one was admitted to the scholar. If there is, it is his father Zeng Linshu.

Zeng Guofan's grandfather was stimulated by others when he was young and vowed to let his son embark on the official career of the imperial examination, but there was no pedigree of reading at home. Zeng Linshu, Zeng Guofan's father, as the hope of the Zeng family, passed the imperial examination from his teens until he was 43 years old. He took 17 times in a row before winning the first place, and finally he was proud.

In order not to lose at the starting line, Zeng Guofan began his scientific research at the age of fourteen. Compared with his father, Zeng Guofan's road to Jinshi was smoother. After all, he was admitted to the top seven subjects.

Well, I can't make it up. In fact, Zeng Guofan's road to scientific research is also extremely tortuous, because he took the exam with his father, who, as an "old acquaintance" in the examination room, was always pointed at, especially when the father who failed the exam took his son to engage in scientific research. It's really embarrassing.

In Zeng Guofan's sixth expedition, that is, his father's seventeenth expedition, his father finally got into the scholar, which was a happy thing for Zeng's family, but it was a low point in his life for Zeng Guofan.

It turned out that after this expedition, Zeng Guofan's name was regarded as a negative textbook by the learning platform. "Criticizing the listing is unreasonable."

In the ancient imperial examination, the article evaluation was not graded, but graded, with a grade of * * * 6, and the last item was the lack of arts and sciences. Now we scold others for their poor writing and say that their articles are unreasonable. Thirdly, there is a lack of arts and sciences.

Ancient scholars pay most attention to face, which can be published as a negative textbook. In fact, it is equivalent to the present zero-point composition, which is a shame in Hunan Province. Obviously, Zeng Guofan's article should be among the persuasion.

Why did Zeng Guofan 14 take part in the scientific research at the age of 0, and was criticized for being listed in the sixth scientific research?

In fact, Zeng Guofan is stupid. After Zeng Guofan became famous, jokes about Zeng Guofan's study became popular in Hunan. It is said that once a thief went to Zeng Guofan's house to steal things, just in time to catch Zeng Guofan's back Yueyang Tower. It turned out that Zeng Guofan had to recite an article by himself every night before going to bed. The thief didn't know, and wanted to wait for Zeng Guofan to fall asleep before stealing.

As a result, the thief waited for half a night on the beam, slept twice, and woke up to find Zeng Guofan still holding "Li Qing's four-year spring ..."

The thief couldn't listen any longer, so he jumped off the beam and cursed Zeng Guofan's nose. You are also worth reading. I can recite it after listening to it several times. After reading Zeng Guofan again, he roared off, leaving Zeng Guofan alone in the wind. It's quite popular in recent years. The takeaway brother looks at the legend that the king who plays with others is too bad and helps others to be kings.

In fact, the story of Yueyang Tower is not easy to recite. I remember when we were studying, it was very difficult to recite, but we learned ancient classical Chinese, so it should be easier to recite. After all, The Story of Yueyang Tower has more than 300 words, and we haven't recited it all night. It really makes no sense.

Whether the story is true or not, this kind of joke is popular in Hunan only to persuade the younger generation to make progress, telling them that people with low IQ like Zeng Guofan can be admitted to Jinshi, and you can be admitted as long as you work harder.

In fact, most people do not lack initial efforts. What they can't accept is repeated blows, and their efforts have not been rewarded. Some people have given up several times in a row.

For example, Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who was almost contemporary with Zeng Guofan and was Zeng Guofan's lifelong enemy, gave up scientific research directly after three rural examinations and took extreme measures to change the whole universe.

Whenever Hong Xiuquan had half Zeng Guofan's ability to resist setbacks, he would not have embarked on the road of uprising. In fact, Zuo, who later became an official with Zeng Guofan, easily passed the provincial examination, but he gave up three consecutive attempts.

It is difficult for a person like Zeng Guofan who has passed six childish tests and been criticized as a negative textbook to summon up the courage to participate in scientific research.

But it was this failure that strengthened Zeng Guofan's perseverance in gaining fame and fortune. After learning from a painful experience and actively looking for ways to fail, he finally passed the seventh children's test. After all these twists and turns, he was able to cope with it with a more stable attitude in the later provincial examinations and exams.

Later, Zeng Guofan passed the provincial examination and tried twice. At the age of 28, he became a scholar and was already very young. After all, in the Qing Dynasty, when the population was under great pressure, the enrollment rate of scholars in the total population was almost the same as that of 5 million in the lottery now.

It can be said that Zeng Guofan is not necessarily excellent compared with the scholars of past dynasties, and his final exam results are only the top three.

But as the son of a farmer, he has no background, and he finally jumped into Longmen by "studying hard" and became the pride of the whole village. In this regard, Zeng Guofan's efforts and ability to resist setbacks are admirable.

On the other hand, children nowadays can't stand the slightest injustice. Under such a complete educational condition, the result is a pile of blx, which is often in the news. From primary school to doctor, some students often can't stand the pressure that is nothing to us, so they give up their fresh lives.

This kind of education should really make people reflect. Should we learn from Zeng Guofan and carry out some anti-frustration education?
