Attentive respect
When it comes to Zeng Guofan's family precepts, everyone will think of his grandfather Xing Ganggong's eight-character formula, "Book vegetables, fish and pigs, sweep the treasure early." Xinggang Gong is Zeng Guofan's grandfather, formerly known as Xing, whose name is Yuping, and his middle-aged name is Xinggang. Although he can't read, he is regarded as the wisest man in Fiona Fang. From being a man, managing a family, and educating children, Xing Ganggong did what the sage said, exactly. The Zeng family pays attention to the front courtyard and hall, and the back garden and vegetables. There should be fish in the pond, pigs in the fence and willows outside the wall; Men get up early to plow the fields, while women do needlework to take care of the family. The clothes of the Zeng family, from hats to shoes, have to be sewn by the women of the Zeng family themselves.

Every time he writes a letter, he earnestly demands that "if a husband's family is happy and harmonious, his brother will do whatever he says, and his brother will do whatever he wants, and he will not do anything if he steams peacefully." Those who are invincible have nothing. I hope that adults will look at men's ambitions! " "Afraid, male brushed brother come again, will hurt the gas. Brothers live in harmony, although poor self-protection small accounts will flourish, brothers will not live in harmony, although aristocratic families will fail. Men know this very well, so I told all the adults in the class that harmony is the first priority for men and brothers. " As the saying goes, "harmony" is the key to the prosperity of a family.
