Thoughts on reading Zeng Guofan's letters

After reading a famous book, I believe everyone has their own reading comprehension accumulation and needs to write an experience review. So how to write a post-reading feeling is more infectious? The following is a review of Zeng Guofan's letters I compiled for you, hoping to help you.

After reading Zeng Guofan's letter, 1 days ago, Wang Ning's lecture at Xijin Primary School left a deep impression on us. These materials are both easy to understand and rich in connotation. Combined with my own educational experience of more than 20 years, I explain "how to cultivate children's good habits", so as to smoothly realize the connection between children and help them make a smooth transition. Among them, the comments on parents' words and deeds are humorous, pointing out that parents' guidance plays a decisive role in children's learning and growth, and family atmosphere, habit strength, quality cultivation and role model are better than preaching.

"Zeng Guofan's Letter" also pointed out: "As for taking on great events, self-cultivation and family planning are all on the word' Qiang Ming'" to teach children and grandchildren, with the word "diligence and modesty" as the main word; "Self-study can be strong, but if you can't win, you can't." Zeng Guofan was praised by later generations as "a teacher will become a perfect person." There are many articles in his family letters about caring for his family, persuading and inculcating his sons and nephews, encouraging and urging them to study hard and be modest. Later generations appeared, Zeng, Zeng Baosun, and other outstanding figures. For example, "We have only two things to learn: one is to enter the moral field, and the other is to learn", "I only hope that my younger brothers will have determination and perseverance", "I will teach you a lesson with a thick quilt, take hard work as the body, be modest for use" and "combine rigidity with softness, and don't neglect it". The theme of the letter from home emphasizes the ideal of life, spiritual realm and moral cultivation, and inherits and carries forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. It also brings reference to the educational concepts and methods of parents and teachers. Give children a warm and democratic family atmosphere, attach importance to their spiritual world and personality cultivation, and give them a healthy body and correct values. This is the real way to prevent children from losing at the starting line.

After reading Zeng Guofan's letter, I finally read Zeng Guofan's letter, which is quite touching. In fact, I like Zeng Guofan very much, as well as his good family style, and even admire Huxiang people more. Their family style is very similar to ours, and his family precepts are exactly the same as those my father taught me.

I have learned a lot from reading, being a man, treating diseases and keeping in good health, and military affairs.

We study for two reasons: one is Xiu De, who stresses honesty, integrity, self-cultivation, and keeps a house to live up to this life; First, practice your studies well and practice the method of memorizing words and chapters well, so as to stand on your own two feet.

Reading Zeng Guofan's letters these days makes me feel humble. I am more determined to read and write, and I don't study for fame. Reading is not so profitable, and writing is constant, but I hope I can stick to it.

Talking about calligraphy: "True knowledge is the great source, so don't give up on yourself."

"Everything in the world is based on Gankun. Take calligraphy as an example: pure spirit, surging breath, smooth vein and concentrated internal rotation are also avenues; Exquisite structure, road behind, shortened fit. This is also the way. All dry words are full of gas, and all Kun words are full of form. Rites and music are based on behavior, and rituals are based on Kun. Those who enjoy writing lyrics have endless strength, that is, the meaning of music; Twisting is legal, which means the meaning of ceremony. "

Zeng Guofan said, don't believe too much that medicine is right. No wonder many well-meaning doctors in Hexi refused to prescribe medicine for me. I think keeping healthy is better than taking medicine. It is better to read and write at home than to travel around. Leave an inch of land and an inch of wealth, why spend more money? Every time you spend money lavishly, you will feel guilty after helping others. The family style of the poor is indispensable.

Life is not perfect, you can't be perfect for yourself, and it's a blessing to keep it inadequate.

Thoughts after reading Zeng Guofan's letters 3 Zeng Guofan was a great scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and admired by many celebrities in modern times, so he wanted to try to read Zeng Guofan's books to increase his income. "Letters from Zeng Guofan" contains the classic letters of Zeng Guofan's official career, and there are many places worth learning. Here, I also talk about my own experience.

People admired by China literati are called sages, which is also the goal pursued by sages. For this goal, generation after generation has been working hard, but only a handful of people have become sages, which shows that it is difficult to achieve results. Zeng Guofan is one of them. From his letters, we can see his spirit of constant pursuit. Sages, first of all, are saints, and saints are in an almost perfect state. Zeng Guofan is constantly pursuing this state, constantly improving his moral character, saving himself day by day, constantly striving for perfection, blaming himself and being complacent. In constant introspection, Zeng Guofan is a model and model for scholars.

Secondly, saints, sages, sages, have profound knowledge and superior ability. While being strict with himself, Zeng Guofan also did his best to be an official. He kept dealing with the Qing government, foreigners and Taiping rebels, and he was defeated and fought repeatedly, and the more frustrated he became, the more brave he became. He promoted Zuo, Li Hongzhang and other dignitaries in the late Qing Dynasty, promoted the development of the Westernization Movement, made outstanding contributions to the modernization of China, and was a saint.

When I was young, I studied Zeng's collected works with great concentration, and came to the conclusion that "I am stupid enough to be close to people and only obey". Even in his later years, he once said: Zeng Guofan is the most powerful figure in the landlord class. Zeng Guofan's many advantages are especially worthy of our serious understanding and study in modern times.

Thoughts on reading Zeng Guofan's letters 4 Zeng Guofan was a famous minister of ZTE in the late Qing Dynasty, a modern sage of Confucianism, and was called "semi-saint" by later generations. Reading Zeng Guofan's letters, we can deeply understand his achievements in "keeping fit, managing the army and employing people", and we can also deeply feel the life that he has worked tirelessly. The ten-year Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement achieved itself and helped the building collapse in the late Qing Dynasty. Although he failed to become an official, he can also be called a minister of famous Confucianism.

First of all, in terms of self-cultivation, we should be diligent, not arrogant or lazy, get up at dawn, sweep the court, and be a "hardworking, modest and honest" gentleman. Later, I talked about the methods of "stubborn and strong, frugal and open-minded, open-minded" and so on.

Secondly, in terms of scholarship, we should pay attention to "specialization and constancy". Once said: "Hard work is like digging a well, and digging more wells is not as good as a spring. It is better to raise one well and try to use the spring. " In reading the history of the Bible, he taught his children: "Make a good plan, read at least 20 pages every day, and don't exhaust the classics, so as to avoid fishing for two days and drying the net for three days. Some people can't even finish reading the Thirteen Classics in their lifetime. " Educate children to study hard through classics. He also said: "There are endless ways to learn, but perseverance is always the main thing."

Third, in managing the family. There are three auspicious things: filial piety, diligence and forgiveness. Eight decisions on housekeeping: morning treasure tests and sweeps books, vegetables, fish and pigs. It is also said that fame is not necessarily the first thing in life, and filial piety can also be done. When conducting harmonious education for children, it is said that "I have never heard that brothers are not harmonious and families are prosperous, and I have never heard that brothers are harmonious and families are prosperous." In short, in running a family, filial piety is the first, and brotherhood is the second.

Fourth, in terms of employing people. When Zeng Guofan pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, all the battles he personally led were "repeated defeats and repeated battles", and most of the battles fought by his generals were victories. Shi Dakai once commented on Zeng Guofan: "Although he is not good at using soldiers, he can learn to be talented and strategize, and he has never heard of it since the incident." Bing Jian, edited by Zeng, is a book about understanding people.

Zeng Guofan's practical learning can be said to be an inexhaustible source of knowledge. If we can learn and make good use of it, it will be of infinite benefit to us.

Thoughts on Zeng Guofan's Letters 5 Zeng Guofan, as half of China's semi-perfect man since Confucius, almost achieved the three standards of China's three traditional literati, which is really rare. Although it is derogatory to say that he is semi-perfect, it is an affirmation. Zeng Guofan was strict with himself all his life, managed his family well and managed his army well. It can be called self-cultivation. In Zeng Guofan's letters, these aspects are discussed in great detail.

In this "Letter from Zeng Guofan", my first concern is a large number of contents related to the collection and payment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in his letters. Zeng Guofan's letters are detailed and concrete, which are very good historical materials to guide him how to run the army and how to arrange it during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. For example, Zeng Guofan recorded the battle of Xiangtan in detail in his letter on the fourth day of April in Xianfeng four years, and his deputy Taqibu defeated the Taiping Army. What is especially rare is that he did not admit his failure, and the army he personally led was defeated by the enemy. Combined with the description in Zeng Guofan's letters and other historical materials, it has a more substantial and three-dimensional impact on this image.

Zeng Guofan avoided the front lines of Anqing and Tianjing because of defeat, but still showed concern about his ninth brother being trapped by his former enemy in his letters. Zeng Guofan's letters are of great significance to our understanding of the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so we should read more.

In addition, since it is a letter from home, Zeng Guofan also wrote in his letter from home that he is not bored with the education of his children and getting along with his family. He taught his sons and how to study, and trained them into excellent Taoist talents. In addition, Zeng Guofan had a broad vision. He also instructed Ceng Jize to learn foreign languages and eventually became the first ambassador of China. These contents are of great practical significance for us to learn knowledge, educate children and even be human.

Reflections on Zeng Guofan's Letters 6 As an outstanding and most controversial figure in China's modern history, his letters to Zeng Guofan are important materials for studying Zeng Guofan and the history of this period. Zeng Jiashu's writing is leisurely, free in form, free in thought and free in writing, and contains true knowledge and good words in daily family affairs. Although Zeng's works have been handed down from generation to generation, only one letter from home can reflect his knowledge and moral cultivation, thus winning the reputation of "the highest generation of moral articles" and becoming the last spiritual idol of China feudal society.

Zeng Guofan's family education thought is mainly reflected in his letters to his sons Ji Ze, Ji Hong and their brothers. There are more than 330 letters from Zeng Guofan, which is the most complete one in history. The book is divided into three categories: housekeeping, self-cultivation, persuasion, financial management, emergency, making friends, employing people, marching, traveling and chores, *** 10. The Zeng family has always been very strict and well-behaved. Zeng Guofan was influenced by his family style and was strict with his children. His guiding ideology of family education has many merits. For example, they inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation in teaching their children to study, study, work hard, be thrifty, be self-reliant, be persistent, cultivate themselves and be officials. "Learn from Zeng Guofan politically and Hu Xueyan commercially." Zeng Guofan was regarded as a "model of officialdom" by politicians in modern times. He is familiar with the history of China, knows the way of officialdom, and has accumulated a set of unique skills in officialdom, which he applied to the officialdom in China and was invincible. Zeng Guofan is the best son, who can reassure his parents; Is the best brother, teaching and taking care of siblings, considerate; Zeng Guofan is a kind father and a good example for children. His letters from home emphasize the ideal of life, spiritual realm and moral cultivation. In the modern society where family ties are becoming more and more indifferent and neighbors are strangers, they really have the value of persuading the world to change their customs and are worth reading. Most official families are it runs in the family, but the Zeng family is full of talented people, and a number of famous diplomats, poets, educators, scientists and senior cadres have emerged.

After reading Zeng Guofan's letters, I feel that he is diligent and self-sustaining, regardless of his official position. "I have been an official for more than 20 years, but I dare not get a little bureaucratic habits. I have maintained a cold and simple family style in eating and living." Zeng Guofan is in the position of Zaifu, but he is very frugal. His original wife has been leading the children to live in his hometown in the countryside, and the plaque of "auspicious symbol" and "waiting symbol" is not allowed to hang outside the door. Zeng Guofan demanded that "we should lead the family at low cost, manage the family frugally, and swear in the army not to send a penny to the family." My wife has no spare money at home, so she cooks and weaves herself. Because she was thrifty all her life, she won the reputation of "the highest generation of moral articles".

Diligence and self-control, the most important thing is to be strict with yourself. "Sun and others have no livelihood in Beijing, so they can't send money back for future use. It's a pity. " Zeng Guofan often felt guilty because he had no money to honor his parents, and was deeply worried because he had no money to support his family. At that time, Zeng Guofan had just been blessed by the emperor and had to work hard to make a difference. It stands to reason that there should be a steady stream of gold and silver for him. Why can't he even help his family? I don't do anything right, I don't accept it, I am strict with myself everywhere, and I am so poor that I don't even have the cost of going back to my hometown.

We should be diligent and self-sufficient and be kind to others. "If someone is an official at home, he has to be more relaxed among his neighbors, and his family has to be more conservative." Zeng Guofan not only set an example, but also set an example for the people around him, set rules and remained poor. It is precisely because I am an official in the DPRK that I should be lenient and strict with myself and restrain my relatives and neighbors, so that I can be cautious, cautious and cautious.

Diligence and self-control are the foundation of a prosperous family and a strong country. Since the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China advocated economy, people all over the country have taken active actions. Only the "CD-ROM" operation can save 8 million tons of fat on the table every year, which is equivalent to the oil content of 6.5438+0.5 million tons of soybeans. Table residue, which is regarded as insignificant, can reduce soybean imports by more than 6.5438+million tons every year. See the big from the small, be diligent and frugal, and oppose extravagance and waste, not only at the dinner table, but also at the moment. In today's socialist spiritual civilization construction, we have the responsibility to pay more attention to diligence and self-improvement, consciously practice socialist core values, and be qualified citizens and aspiring young people.

Reading Zeng Guofan's Letters 8 Zeng Guofan is an important historical figure in China's modern history. He rectified the bureaucracy and advocated science, which made the Manchu dynasty linger on for 60 years. His works and thoughts are equally far-reaching. As a prominent and most controversial figure in China's modern history, his Letter from Zeng Guofan is free in form, thought and writing, which contains insightful opinions and good words in ordinary family affairs. Although Zeng Guofan's works have not been handed down from generation to generation, only one letter from home is enough to reflect his knowledge and moral cultivation, thus winning the reputation of "German articles, the first generation".

There are more than 330 letters from Zeng Guofan, which is the most complete one in history. The book is divided into 10 categories, such as family management, self-cultivation, persuasion and making friends, etc. Zeng Guofan's family has always been very strict and disciplined. Zeng Guofan was influenced by his family style and was strict with his children. His guiding ideology of family education has many merits. For example, they have inherited and carried forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation in educating their children to study, study, work hard, be frugal, be self-reliant, be persistent and cultivate themselves.

Zeng Guofan is the best son, who can reassure his parents; Is the best brother, teaching and taking care of siblings, considerate; Zeng Guofan is a kind father and a good example for children. His letter from home tells the story of life ideal and moral cultivation. Every time he writes a diary, he records the difference of one thought and the loss of one thing in the diary of that day. He showed no mercy to his mistakes, and also communicated with his friends to achieve the role of supervision. In the modern society where family ties are becoming more and more indifferent and neighbors are strangers, it does have the function of alerting the world.

This book has benefited us a lot and is well worth reading!

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 20XX, CCTV reporters interviewed "What is Family Style" in the street, which caused a heated discussion among the audience and netizens. What is family style? What is your family style? Different respondents gave different answers. Some answers make people laugh and give us deep thoughts. For example, a child said that their family style is to be beaten every week. I don't know what family style is, but I know that family style is composed of family life style and cultural atmosphere, which plays an extremely important role in children's growth.

There is a saying in China that "one generation makes a rich man, and three generations make a noble man", which is enough to illustrate the role of family style in "letting things go smoothly". To be a model in this respect, Zeng Guofan is unique. It was once known as "Lide's meritorious service is immortal, a teacher and a perfect person". What is the family style of the Zeng family? Reading Zeng Guofan's letters may give you a glimpse of his family style. This book contains more than 200 letters written by Zeng Guofan to his parents, brothers and sons and nephews. The information involves eight aspects: self-cultivation, scholarship, housekeeping, financial management, making friends, treating people, being an official and keeping in good health. It is said that Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek were deeply influenced by it, which can repair the family style for readers and bring valuable reference.

Zeng Guofan repeatedly mentioned diligence, humility, perseverance, tenacity and introspection in his letters home. Pay attention to studying in Germany and get rid of arrogance, arrogance and grumbling. During the Xianfeng period, Fu Yuan, the ninth brother, said in his letter that "the meeting would be dull if the interest was not here" and warned in his reply that "this is a major event".

Mortals must concentrate on one thing and persevere from beginning to end. Don't change your mind, think like this, sit on this mountain and look at that mountain. It was after reading this passage that young Mao Zedong strengthened his principle of concentrating on research. On the other hand, in the current academic world, impetuous spirit prevails, academic fraud happens from time to time, and teachers and students cannot concentrate on their studies, which directly affects academic innovation.

The corruption of the style of study will inevitably lead to the corruption of the world style, and then affect the style of study, which should be a concern of the whole society. Only by rectifying the style of study can we carry forward the world style.

Read Zeng Guofan's letters, 10 Zeng Guofan, the word Bohan, No. Hunan Xiangxiang people. He was the most prominent (running Xiang Army and Westernization Movement) and controversial figure (Tianjin religious plan and suppressing Taiping Heavenly Kingdom) in China's modern history. As a Han nationality, he was able to occupy a high position under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and his words, deeds and virtues were also praised by later generations. Therefore, as such a far-reaching figure, his thoughts and knowledge are worth learning from. Among them, Zeng Guofan's letters, as his masterpiece, are called three major letters with Fu Lei's letters and lifelong advice. Zeng Guofan's letters are divided into three parts: self-cultivation, persuasion, family management, financial management, making friends, governing politics and employing people.

In the self-cultivation article: "When a mortal does something, he must concentrate all his energy on it and never change his mind. If he thinks so, he will sit on this mountain and look at that mountain. People are not constant, and nothing can be achieved in life. " ; "Probably can stand up, without complaint, carefree. Stand up, strive for self-improvement, stand up, reach out, do things tactfully and work. "

In the exhortation: "People should be interested in reading, knowledgeable and persistent.". Aim high and never dare to be indecent. If you have knowledge, you will know that knowledge is endless. If you dare to be self-sufficient, you will never succeed. These three are indispensable. "

In the article on making friends: "Everything is expensive. If you hire a non-professional teacher, you won't benefit. Ask for a friend who is not expert, and you will love or not, and your heart will be expert. If you learn from him, you can't start. If you see different ideas, it will be a big deal. "

Of course, Zeng Guofan's success or failure, how future generations evaluate it, history is objective and fair after all. As Churchill said, "Architects build buildings, and buildings build architects." For Zeng Guofan, history created Zeng Guofan, and Zeng Guofan also influenced the modern history of China.

Comments on Zeng Guofan's Letters 1 1 Zeng Guofan is a very prominent and controversial figure in modern China. A Letter to Zeng Guofan mainly describes Zeng Guofan's main activities in his life, reflecting his important thoughts in politics, life, running the family, studying and running the army. Mao Zedong commented on Zeng Guofan, "approachable, taking Ceng Wenzheng alone", which shows the great influence of Zeng Guofan. After reading all the letters from home, I personally have the following four feelings:

0 1, learn the way of keeping in good health.

Zeng Guofan attached great importance to preserving health and prolonging life. In many letters, he mentioned "observing father's training to keep healthy" and "saving labor, abstinence and diet". It is precisely because of his emphasis on the way of keeping in good health that he has a strong body, which enables him to travel south and fight north, and assume the great responsibility of being a pillar of talent for decades.

02. Learn its reading method.

"First, be ambitious; second, be knowledgeable; third, be persistent. To set a goal in reading, only extensive and persistent reading can achieve success.

03, learn the way to run the army.

Zeng Guofan and his younger brother Ceng Guoquan talked about politics or the army in many letters. For Zeng Guofan's way of running the army, when Ceng Guoquan was guarding Nanjing, he was already the general of hosts. A letter from Zeng Guofan advised him to be calm, calm and thoughtful; The other is to persuade him to pay attention to choosing successors as soon as possible, saying that' the first meaning of doing great things is to choose multiple successors'. "

04. Learn how to be a man.

A letter from Zeng Guofan shows Zeng Guofan's lifelong pursuit of "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world". For example, in his letter to his younger brother, he repeatedly exhorted, expected and warned: "We can only study in Germany." Pride is long, but you never make progress, so you are down and out all your life and never make progress. "Zeng Guofan pursues patience first in his life, advocates thrift in everything, and is not proud of being an official. He was the first minister in the late Qing Dynasty, the founder and commander-in-chief of the Xiang Army, and was praised by later generations as "the first perfect man through the ages".

Nowadays, with the rapid development of information technology, no matter how far the distance between people is, it seems close at hand. People can communicate anytime and anywhere through telephone, SMS, WeChat and Internet.

However, no matter how convenient and quick it is, I always feel a little less. I wonder how many young people have written letters now. When I think back to my school days, I write and receive letters myself. When I read them, I feel very kind and warm. I can remember every word and sentence in the letter vividly, as if the sender was sitting next to me.

Zeng Guofan's letters seem to be talking about the difficulty of staying behind. Between the lines, there is deep concern, respect, care and concern for grandparents, parents, brothers, wives and children, relatives and friends. Every letter of Zeng Guofan is full of deep affection. A generation of celebrities showed us his profound moral cultivation through letters from home. Looking at his letters from home, I felt the deep affection for his family in his bones. He was an official in Beijing, and wrote in his letter to his grandfather: "People who are officials in Beijing make a living from the East …" He mentioned the hardships of life many times in his letter, but he always tried his best to help his family and relatives.

Seeing this, I am very moved. Now we live in an era of rich material life, but almost everyone feels very confused and confused. Maybe we are confused because we lack the same affection and friendship as him. In deeper thinking, I suddenly realized that the golden key to maintaining family ties and friendship is not fame and fortune, but profound cultural accomplishment and moral edification.

A person without culture and moral cultivation is a beast at best, even if he is rich in gold and silver. After all, because people are animals that rely on feelings, there is no difference between animals and animals without feelings.

After reading Zeng Guofan's letters, 13 Zeng Guofan was born in the Qing Dynasty. He was not smart in his early years and his fate was ill-fated. But with his own efforts, he became an important official in the late Qing Dynasty. Although his intelligence is not as good as others, he always checks himself. With a little effort, I persisted for decades. The same is true of Zeng Guofan's education for future generations. Even people who are a little stupid can succeed by their own efforts. What excuse do we have for not being diligent? You can't take shortcuts in the process of learning, you must be down to earth.

After Zeng Guofan's rebellion, he was promoted to a second-class official, but he was low-key and humble; When the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty regarded itself as China, Zeng Guofan was learning western learning and made great contributions to ZTE in the late Qing Dynasty. Modesty, let's make continuous progress, and don't be complacent because we have made some achievements; Modesty, let's make continuous progress. "All bets are off, but modesty benefits", modesty makes us better ourselves.

Although Zeng Guofan was an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, he believed that "poverty" was the way of "goodness" and educated future generations. If a person or a family doesn't know how to be frugal, it will eventually go to ruin. Just like we can't compare shoes, schoolbags and so on. We should keep everything simple and study hard. Otherwise, it will become a waste of learning because of comparison, and only care about material things all day. Diligence and self-discipline, take the initiative to be like the poor in material life. People who can do this may become great in the future.

Zeng Guofan was able to achieve virtue, make contributions and make a statement because he knew that "people are defeated because of laziness, things are defeated because of arrogance, and family is defeated because of luxury." We should also learn from his diligence and modesty, make a little progress and make ourselves better. But don't be too modest, too modest will make people lose many opportunities for exercise.

Some people may think something like "Then I must be the second Zeng Guofan" after reading this article, but they don't know that some things should not be pursued excessively. Excessive pursuit is also a kind of "luxury". You don't need to do what Confucius, Wang Yangming and Zeng Guofan did, as long as you do your best.
