In Zeng Guofan's view, the key to educating children based on society and keeping this family alive from generation to generation is two words: diligence and thrift. He asked children to remember sixteen words in life-diligence makes them rich, diligence makes them healthy, diligence makes them frugal, and they will never be poor! Zeng Guofan's understanding of thrift is very profound. The easiest way for a family to maintain prosperity and development is to learn to live frugally, be proud of being rich, be discouraged from being poor, and be diligent in managing the family. Diligence can not only keep fit, but also make work a very common thing in daily life. Always be diligent and thrifty, and a family will continue to develop.
