Let’s talk about physiognomy first. In Zeng Guofan’s physiognomy formula, look at the nose and eyes, look at the spirit, look at the hands and feet, and look at the language. It is basically similar to our current HR interview level. The nose and eyes determine most of the facial features. People with regular facial features are more likely to leave a good impression on others. People who are in good spirits naturally have plenty of energy to deal with work, and there is a high probability that they can achieve certain results. Hands can tell whether a person has good habits, especially nails. The hands of people who often do manual labor are different from those of people who do not do housework at all. The latter are softer, lack strength but are clean and white. A person who speaks in an organized manner must have clear ideas, proving that he has a certain understanding of what he is talking about.

This idea of ??fortune telling is correct for most people, and it is also correct to adopt these methods in employment. But there are exceptions to everything, not to mention that it is only a descendant's opinion that Zeng Guofan never knew the wrong person in his life. Did he really not fall in love with the wrong person? There have been ups and downs in his life, and it has not all been smooth sailing. If he really had superb physiognomy, judging from others, Zeng Guofan would not have gone through such hard work and been put on the list of inspirational models.

Let’s talk about Zeng Guofan’s attitude towards his children. He had three sons and five daughters. According to traditional thinking, he teaches his son but ignores his daughter, and his preference for sons over daughters is very obvious. So who did his daughter marry? Zeng Guofan probably wouldn't use physiognomy to interview his son-in-law. Moreover, the family he married his daughter to was either the son of a colleague or the adopted son of the family, and he did not marry into a high position. He naturally thought that the son of his colleague would be as talented as his colleague, but he forgot that the nine sons born from the dragon were different. Under the trust, Zeng Guofan will not pay attention to the marriage situation of his daughter who he does not value. The fact that four of his five daughters had unhappy marriages and died young illustrates this point.

Did Zeng Guofan really not know that his daughter was not doing well? He knows it. In marriage, Zeng Guofan thinks this way. Even if his daughter is really wronged, according to Zeng Guofan's idea, the most important thing is for her daughter to be more wronged and to be harmonious. Without the support of her father, it is normal for a married daughter to meet someone unkind and live a miserable life. When Zeng Guofan's eldest daughter was getting married, he knew very well that his old friend's son was crooked. In order to live up to his old friend's advice, Zeng Guofan decided to marry his daughter. This kind of decision is definitely not the way to truly love your daughter. Sure enough, when the eldest daughter got married, she encountered her husband marrying someone else first. He wrote to his brother. When Zeng Guofan found out, he just told his daughter to let his son-in-law go. If it didn't work, he would personally educate the son-in-law. Only when the eldest son-in-law embarrassed Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan chose to break up with his son-in-law forever, completely forgetting that he had a daughter who was pushed to that bad son-in-law.
