Zeng Guofan believes that the following ten things should be paid attention to in child-rearing: (1) diligent housekeeping and strict observance of family rules. (2) Filial piety eliminates arrogance. (3) "Work first". (4) The way to stay at home is not to spend too much money. (5) Marriage "is not necessarily rich or expensive". (6) Avoid luxury in family affairs and be frugal. (7) Running the family: test, treasure, morning, sweep, book, sparse, fish, pig. (8) Relatives should attach importance to feelings rather than things. (9) Don't get tired of housework. (10) Choose a tutor for consultation.
To sum up, there are six main contents of Zeng Guofan's godson, namely "diligence, filial piety, frugality, benevolence, regularity and modesty".
As the saying goes, "three generations are not rich", but according to the survey, Zeng Guofan and his four brothers' family, 190 years ago, have produced more than 240 famous talents, not a dude.
Such a prosperous family is rare at all times and in all countries, and the reason should be attributed to Zeng Guofan's adopted son.
Zeng Guofan taught his children the six contents of "diligence, filial piety, chastity and modesty" through six methods: training, religious belief, teaching by example, teaching by example, teaching by example, teaching by example, teaching by example, teaching by example, teaching by example, teaching by example, teaching by example, instilling them in their hearts and melting them into their blood. Zeng Guofan's teaching method and Zeng Guofan's family education idea are the treasures of China's educational thought. This is still of great guiding significance to our modern education today.
