Extended data:
The way to realize Zeng Guofan s family style and family instruction;
1, officials themselves take the lead in setting an example.
As a famous university student in the late Qing Dynasty and Yi Hou Yong, who was named first-class by the court, the gate of Zeng Guofan's mansion was very narrow and simple, allowing only two people to pass side by side, showing deep humility and low-key restraint.
It is through the vivid summary and long-term practice of being a man that Zeng Guofan is called "perfect man" by the world, and even more called "perfect man" by the world, setting an example of honesty, humility, filial piety and prudence for future generations and family trees.
2. Infiltrate the idea of family style into the dribs and drabs of family life.
In Zeng Guofan's mansion, the reception room was ingeniously named "No Slow Room". This name was originally the name of Zeng Guofan's study, and was later named by his son Ceng Jize as the name of the reception room on the first floor of Zengjia Library.
It means that visitors, whether officials or citizens, celebrities or white pudding, should not be treated lightly, but should be treated equally and warmly. So we found that all the rooms in Zeng Guofan's mansion had almost no threshold. This further highlights that Zeng's peaceful and simple family style has continued from Zeng Guofan himself to his descendants.
3. Zeng Guofan took history as a mirror and explained to later generations how to stand on the world through a large number of letters from home.
Zeng Guofan has always placed reading in the most important position in his letters to his family. He believes that the purpose of reading is not to read dead books and be a nerd, but to achieve two things: entering Germany and reading. Kinder pays attention to sincerity, integrity and self-cultivation, while studying in Germany pays attention to memorizing words and chapters, so as to have the means and skills to survive.
Under the influence of Zeng Guofan's family style, there were not many politicians in his family after the third generation, but a number of outstanding talents in the fields of mining and metallurgy, civil engineering, medicine and radio emerged during the Republic of China and after liberation. It is the good family style handed down from generation to generation that makes the Zeng family in Hunan last for a hundred years, and many people in later generations have become the pillars of the motherland's construction.
