Part one: Being an official is not to enjoy a happy life. As long as you have money in your pocket, rice in the warehouse and poetry in your stomach, you are the prime minister in the mountains.
Bottom line: You don't need to take medicine to pray for a long life. I hope you are healthy, carefree and have no creditors. You can be a fairy on the ground.
Horizontal batch: happy every day.
The evaluation of Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, has always been mixed. But there is no doubt that Li Hongzhang does have some real talents. The Li family and his son are known as "three scholars in one school".
Li Hongzhang helped Zeng Guofan to revise the throne, changing "repeated defeats" into "repeated defeats and repeated wars". With a little change, he refined an indomitable courage. As a result, instead of blaming Zeng Guofan, the court rewarded him.
Li Hongzhang is outstanding in literary talent and good in writing. Like other literati, he often writes couplets. These couplets reflect the inner world of this historical figure and his life track from a specific angle.
