Who were the people in history who were virtuous and meritorious? Or a virtuous person? List the facts

It is said that there are only two and a half in the history of our country, namely Confucius, Wang Yangming and Zeng Guofan (half).

"Zuo Zhuan" - The supreme leader has established virtues, followed by meritorious services, and the third has established words. Even if they are not abolished for a long time, these are called the three immortals.

Wang Shouren, also known as Wang Yangming, was a native of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yangming is a "master of mind" in the history of ancient Chinese philosophy. His philosophical reflections on the meaning of life are rebellious and challenging. His contribution lies in the unprecedented improvement of people's subjective consciousness, which also turns over the history of ideology. Today there is a "Four Stele Pavilion" in Yuyao, Zhejiang Province, and there is a stele pavilion commemorating him. Wang Yangming is known as "a famous Confucian scholar and a capable minister in world affairs". There is a couplet in his former residence that reads: "If you are virtuous and meritorious, you will be truly immortal; if you are clear-minded and clear, you will be able to teach with clear knowledge."

Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan is a bit controversial, but he is also a very important figure. He was a military strategist, Neo-Confucianist, and politician during the Qing Dynasty, and he also made great achievements in literature. Therefore, all the "Three Immortals" characters have enough three things, and they must be virtuous and meritorious. He is quite controversial in modern Chinese history: he was both the culprit in suppressing the Taiping Rebellion and an advocate of the Westernization Movement. Zeng Guofan has many things worthy of people's thinking and learning, ranging from running the country and the army to running the family and cultivating one's character. Mao Zedong believed that the reason why Zeng Guofan's scholarship was "valuable" was that he did not stick to the words and texts themselves. Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek, Liang Qichao, etc. all worshiped him as a personality idol. Mao Zedong once wrote to Xin Li Jinxi: "If you are stupid than others, you will only obey Zeng Wengong." For people in modern times, the person I admire the most is Zeng Wengong, Zeng Wengong. Chiang Kai-shek warned his disciples many times: "You should read more books and letters by Zeng Wenzheng, Hu Linyi and others." Someone used a couplet to summarize Zeng Guofan's life: "Three immortal virtues and meritorious deeds, a teacher, a general, a prime minister, and a perfect man."
