The book "The Greatest Way to Be Clumsy" summarizes Zeng Guofan's life as "emphasis on patience, clarity, sharpness, prudence and diligence, and being able to spare time and be strong". My sentiments and understanding can be summed up in three sentences: very hard work, very studious, and very accomplished.

1. Very hard. Reflect the character of endurance. Zeng Guofan's life was not smooth. He did not go well in exams, had bad health, and did not go well in officialdom. Among them, Zeng Guofan's psoriasis was extremely itchy and uncomfortable, and he could bleed when scratched. At the same time, it also faced a series of external pressures, from the imperial court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In such a situation, Zeng Guofan endured his irritation and expressed his understanding of the nature of life in the world's most difficult situation. How can there be free time in the world? Life is suffering. If you want to be free, you should have the courage to face various problems and solve them well, so that you will have more concentration and motivation.

2. Very studious. Reflect the word diligence. It can be said that these two good habits of getting up early and keeping a diary will accompany him throughout his life and will benefit him a lot. Morning people have a lot of quiet time to think, read, and have a lot of energy, while also planning and getting started for the day. Keeping a diary gives people an opportunity to review, summarize and reflect, and has a record and opportunity to explain and improve life. It also produced the famous complete works of Zeng Wenzhenggong. At the same time, the mind, body, eyes, hands, and mouth, and the Five Arrivals formulas also tell people the basic principles for doing things. Zeng Guofan's private library is China's largest with more than 300,000 volumes, which also shows his obsession and emphasis on books.

3. Very promising. Reflect the word Qian. Zeng Guofan established three pillars of morality, words and merit. In terms of meritorious service, he established the Hunan Army, defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, built China's first ship, established the first military engineering school, introduced and translated the first batch of Western books, and sent the first batch of students to the United States. The complete works of Zeng Wenzhenggong are enough to prove his moral integrity. At the same time, there is no prodigal son in his descendants, which also shows his ideological influence.

Therefore, it can be said that Zeng Guofan's vitality and influence are very huge, and it is worthy for every Chinese to repeatedly experience his inherent spiritual value and influence, so as to improve the level and realm of himself and his family's descendants.
