After reading a book, I believe you will gain a lot. At this time, you need to carefully record it and write down your thoughts after reading it. Many people must be worried about how to write a good review. The following is a review of Zeng Guofan's biography (generally 6 articles) that I have collected. Everyone is welcome to share. Thoughts after reading the Biography of Zeng Guofan Part 1
Recently, I read "The Biography of Zeng Guofan" online.
What moved me about this article was: Zeng Guofan’s lifelong love of learning and his loyalty. Zeng Guofan's life was based on loyalty, diligence and thrift, and he had a flexible and changeable attitude towards life.
Zeng Guofan was born in Baiyangping, Heyetang, Xiang Township, Changsha Prefecture, Hunan Province (now Tianping Village, Heye Town, Shuangfeng County, Loudi City, Hunan Province) to an ordinary farming and studying family. He is not a gifted and smart child, but he pays attention to learning methods. He requires himself to abide by the way of self-denial and constantly renew and reflect on himself. Eventually he became a famous politician, educator, and military strategist. Advocated the Westernization Movement and founded the Hunan Army. He has made significant achievements in running the family, running the army, running the country, and education.
We must learn from his diligent and frugal style in life. In terms of study, we must learn from his good ability to accumulate experience and lessons, and constantly reflect on ourselves every day. As he said: "A person should study every day. It was his lifelong love of learning and loyal character that made him one of the most famous figures in modern Chinese history. Comments after reading the biography of Zeng Guofan 2
I have been reading this book for a long time, and it deeply moved me. At first, I thought of Zeng Guofan as a bad guy in the textbooks, but now, I know that he is the belief of most people and is not completely good for individuals. and completely bad. He was also such a person. He lived his life as a sage, but he could not live a life of integrity and peace of mind. His turbulent life also brought many different things to me. Feelings, I can’t tell exactly what they are, but I feel that they are very close to our ideals and our original intentions. As we go further and further, we need to take care of our hearts and preserve our dexterity and loveliness. A far-sighted vision and some requirements and expectations for oneself. There is no certain standard for saints and perfect people, and our living conditions are also different. It is difficult to ask ourselves what to do.
"A gentleman should be cautious about his independence". I have always wondered what I believe in. Is it textbooks? This subtle, profound and lasting influence gradually penetrates into our souls, grows into our bones, and grows into a healthy person. I have always pursued perfection, but it is also the rhythm of three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. Today I know. That is your own laziness. If you want to be a better version of yourself, you must exercise self-control. Yesterday I watched Bai Yansong's "Dialogue" and he said, "Freedom is self-discipline." In an era of materialistic desires, everyone must be more self-disciplined and form their own good character. Develop standards of behavior. In the days to come, I will try to be a better person. Remarks after reading the Biography of Zeng Guofan 3
I was quite touched after reading "The Biography of Zeng Guofan" recently, especially about Zeng Guofan's academic spirit in the first half of his life. I admire him very much. I think this kind of spirit can be described as a "nerd" philosophy. Zeng Guofan's scholarship in the first half of his life can be described as a nerd. I think this kind of spirit is rare in China because he has no ears to hear what is happening outside the window and only concentrates on reading. People who read books from sages are considered useless idiots, but I think that only by being an idiot first can you become a smart person later.
An old Japanese scientist once said this: "If you want to become a scientist. , must be smart. "In a sense, this is indeed the case. The so-called smart people can be said to be like tourists with fast legs and feet. Although they can reach places that others have not yet set foot on quickly, they may miss the roadside. People with stupid brains are like walking. Slow people, always strolling behind, often hold the treasures in their hands effortlessly. Smart people can look at all the difficulties and obstacles on the road precisely because of their speculations. At least they have this premonition, so they often It is easy to dampen one's own enterprising courage. For stupid people, the work of others always seems to be outstanding, and at the same time, they feel that the work of big people can also be done, so it naturally stimulates their own ambition. Even if a smart and pretentious person can be a teacher, it is difficult for everyone to become a master. As Su Dongpo said, it is rare to be confused. I think the state of being confused is a kind of idiot's philosophy.
Not everything in life has a clear answer, and not everyone can distinguish between good and bad. When you encounter something that cannot be changed or is harmful or harmful to you, being able to pretend to be confused or stupid is indeed a very high level. The essence of the so-called nerd philosophy is to be able to turn a blind eye to some things in life. When you turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to some bad things in life, they often develop in a good direction. Maybe it's the truth that the willow will be planted unintentionally, and the willow will be shaded. This principle is well reflected in Zeng Guofan. He was able to thrive in the officialdom in the later period because he fully displayed the rare and confused idiot philosophy.
In today’s material world, people attach great importance to their own interests and do not allow anyone to harm their own interests. There is nothing wrong with this, but if you go over it, it will be a superficial performance. It may be better to be confused once. This is the "idiot" philosophy that I learned from Zeng Guofan. Comments after reading the biography of Zeng Guofan Chapter 4
Today I read that Zeng Guofan was not successful in military and political affairs. He was relieved of military power by Emperor Xianfeng. He fell into a low ebb in life at the age of 47. In extreme pain, he picked up the advice recommended by his friends. Lao and Zhuang's works, calm down and reflect on the past.
Zeng Guofan reflected that he repeatedly ran into obstacles in the officialdom and suffered bruises and bruises. Not only was the emperor's petty-mindedness and the ministers' selfishness, but also the many flaws in his own personality, temper, temperament, and style, also important reasons. Looking back on my past life, I always had a strong sense of moral superiority. I thought I was upright and others were arrogant but I was innocent. Therefore, I was superior to myself and humbled others. I was sharp-edged, spoke too harshly, and acted too straightforwardly, which of course easily aroused the resentment of others. At this time, Zeng Guofan finally realized that those who act too rigidly may appear to be strong on the surface, but are actually weak. Zeng Guofan, who had been dormant at home for two years, kept reflecting on himself. When he came out of the mountain, he behaved completely new and treated people as if they were two people.
I marvel at Zeng Guofan's "middle-aged reform", which was so thorough and effective in self-reflection. It is an example that we should learn from. The goal for 2019 is suddenly clear! In fact, human growth is a process of constantly reflecting on oneself and analyzing oneself! Reading about Zeng Guofan, I am constantly re-examining myself as he goes through his ups and downs. Although I cannot be Zeng Guofan, his way of life is worth learning. Comments after reading the biography of Zeng Guofan Chapter 5
I have always been interested in the life of Zeng Guofan. Zeng Guofan was an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty. His life was full of ups and downs and full of legends. How should we interpret such a person?
Teacher Luo Zhenyu who recommended "The Biography of Zeng Guofan" said: Zeng Guofan was extremely ordinary, with an ordinary background, many shortcomings, and average intelligence. But it is this process of ordinary transformation that has reference significance for most people. I also wanted to learn from it, so I started reading "The Biography of Zeng Guofan".
Zeng Guofan studied hard since he was a child. He studied at Yuelu Academy in his hometown in Hunan for a year and a half, took the Hunan Provincial Examination, and passed the exam. Later, when he packed up his bags and went to the capital to take the exam, he failed. Later, with the encouragement of his father, he stayed in the capital and studied hard. However, he failed to pass the exam and his family did not have the ability to support him to stay in the capital.
However, his father did not blame him for his failure in the examination room. After returning home, he locked himself in his study and studied hard. He once again embarked on the road to Beijing, and his family borrowed money to pay for his travel expenses. This time he did not disappoint his parents, he won the Jinshi. This time he made his parents proud, because at this time the Zeng family had not produced a Jinshi in six hundred years, but this did not satisfy Zeng Guofan. Later, he was appreciated by Emperor Daoguang, and he became a concubine in the Hanlin Academy. From then on his legendary story began.
After reading "The Biography of Zeng Guofan", my feeling is that Zeng Guofan was a very powerful person. He had an average IQ and did not get the top prize in the exam, but his life goals were very clear and he kept working hard for his goals. Reading, in the end Huang Tian paid off. Although Zeng Guofan was later criticized by people, people are not saints, and no one can make mistakes. As a person who received traditional education, Zeng Guofan did his duty and devoted himself to the Qing Dynasty. From him I learned that I must be patient and a person with a bright heart.
After-reading the Biography of Zeng Guofan Chapter 6
During this summer vacation, I have read many famous books, but the one that remains fresh in my mind is "The Biography of Zeng Guofan", which describes the famous military strategist of the Qing Dynasty. , the book of Chinese studies by the writer Zeng Guofan.
This story happened in the late Qing Dynasty. The original Zeng Guofan was not called this name, but Zeng Zicheng, and his nickname was "Kuan Yi". Zeng Zicheng was born in the 24th capital of Hetang, Hunan. From then on, a generation of loyal ministers came to the world. This book mainly tells the story of how he worked hard and studied day and night when he was young, and finally became a famous minister. Later, the Hunan Army was established to help Emperor Xianfeng fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, going through countless hardships and obstacles. Finally defeated the Taiping Army. But the good times did not last long. The Tianjin religious incident was triggered by the British theocratic religion. During this period, he was called a traitor by the people because of this incident. After the incident subsided, he died of illness in the governor's office a few years later at the age of 62. He devoted his life to the cause of the Qing Dynasty.
I admire this loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who worked for the people and never left his post. His literary accomplishment is even more remarkable. He has been able to memorize ancient and modern masterpieces such as "Xiaoyaoyou", "Historical Records", and "Selected Works" since he was a child. From this point of view, I admire his memory and patience, because he took the book "Historical Records" Generally speaking, this book is very thick and difficult to read. If it were me, I would have put it aside and played with it. But he can persevere and never give up. What makes me admire me even more is that when the Hunan Army he formed was beaten to pieces by the Taiping Army and no scraps of armor were left, his will was not broken. Instead, he made a comeback, reorganized the army, and continued to fight. When Zeng Guofan became famous, he went to pay homage to his mentor's tomb. After reading this, you can't help but ask, why did he think of his mentor just now? Where is his filial piety? All I can say is that there is a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety.
This is a masterpiece that records historical figures! It is a rare and good book that taught me not to be too hasty or too hasty in doing things, otherwise I may make big mistakes. This book is very interesting and there are many truths waiting for you to discover.
