Zeng Guofan is how to "virtue, merit and speech of three immortal, as a teacher, a general and a perfect man".

This quote is from someone who admires Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan is the embodiment of traditional culture, in accordance with Confucianism, do people, do things, do the government. Advocates of all things to be diligent, thrifty and honest, not to be proud of the official, cultivate oneself, seek the official with virtue, the rule of etiquette first, and seek political office with loyalty.

His words and deeds were the same, and he was highly respected by the people at that time. Long-term vision, laying the foundation of modern China, is the first person in modern China.

Some people even called him "the modern saint".

Mao Zedong was y influenced by him, and the "Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points of Attention" originated from Zeng Guofan's song on military governance.

The most controversial thing about him is that he suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement. Because Marx believed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the world's first regime with the nature of ****productivism, so this movement in the current evaluation of Chinese historiography must be positive, this movement is positive. Then suppress this movement Zeng Guofan must be negative.
