Zeng Guofan is a very famous politician and writer in the modern history of our country. I have had a good habit of being diligent and studious since I was a child. I was already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics when I was eight years old. Under the influence of poems and books, he also has his own set of educational concepts. "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter" is one of his representative works, and some of its principles are still used today.

“I taught my children to be diligent, thrifty and modest.” This sentence was written in a family letter to his children in China, but it is also applicable today. What these three words represent is hard work, thrift, and humility. In fact, this can be regarded as a traditional virtue in China. By educating your children in such words, you can also enable them to possess such beautiful character.

“The way to use troops depends not on weapons but on people.” In terms of managing the army and employing people, Zeng Guofan had his own opinions. In his opinion, for soldiers, weapons are not the most important, but individuals are the most important. character and personality. Therefore, for soldiers, he usually educates them to have some good character and treats them like a father treats his children.

“Rise at dawn, don’t be attached to others after waking up.” This is Zeng Guofan’s opinion on living habits. For many young people today, it is difficult to develop such a habit. Most young people have irregular work and rest habits, and it is difficult to get up early. If you persist, you will definitely be able to bring some unexpected surprises and benefits.

It can be seen from Chinese Fan’s family motto that he has many beautiful qualities, and he also attaches great importance to the excellent traditional virtues of hard work, thrift, and humility. And possessing these beautiful qualities actually has lifelong benefits for individuals.
