Zeng Guofan's Six Commandments are required knowledge points. It can be said that after reading Zeng Guofan's "six commandments" in life, he learned his way of being a man and doing things.
1. the first commandment: don't do what you want for a long time, and don't go to places where people are contending.
2. the first commandment: don't do what you want for a long time, and don't go to places where people are contending.
3. the third commandment: saying that people are short is to protect themselves, and boasting about their own strengths is to avoid others' strengths.
4. The first under the temptation: Profit can be * * but not alone, and strategy can be few but not numerous.
5. The fifth commandment: mediocrity in ancient and modern times is defeated by a lazy word, and talents in ancient and modern times are defeated by a proud word.
6. the sixth precept: when doing great things, knowledge should be the main thing, while talent should be the supplement; Where great things are achieved, people seek to live in half, and providence lives in half. 2. What are Zeng Guofan's famous sayings? What is Zeng Guofan's motto?
Leave room for everything, be generous and accommodate others.
I'm afraid of doing anything that I don't deserve. Too lofty will hurt benevolence, too obedient will hurt righteousness, so it is also expensive to mean the middle way.
be calm, and then you can go through the dangers of the world. Entangled, you can test my talent; Wave and current are all the rage, so you can test my operation; Difficulties and obstacles can test my thoughts; Shocking the balance can test my strength; If you are ashamed, you can test my operation.
be diligent in the country, frugal at home, faithful in words and respectful in deeds. Self-sufficiency in talent and self-esteem in ability are taboo for villains and thin for gentlemen.
be quiet first, then think about it, and do it if you grasp it in five or six minutes. It is shameful to be a slave, and it is hateful to be headstrong.
if you don't stick to it, it's the middle way. It's not unusual, but it's the most elegant to make Apollo flow popular.
those who are engaged in official business, who have to look far ahead and make great achievements in the past, have a large scale and a small comprehensive management. Both are indispensable. Don't be too sympathetic. Take observing talents as the first priority, start a new stove, reopen the world to the bitter end, what is done is done, and just listen to it. The hero who started his business in the prosperous times, with an open mind as the first meaning, forbade big talk, and was pragmatic in spirit, with almost two eyes. God is evil to rape a man to stand on his own feet, and he must have a stubborn spirit. What he said today is not good for small interests. Tomorrow, don't blame others for being thick and thin because of small interests. It is precisely when honing heroes that they often mention their vitality to make things happen in the world difficult, but those who can last for a long time should not lightly criticize the ancients and let go, so as to make them bold and have the meaning of Ning Zhuo's artlessness, and then they can last a hundred kinds of ills, all of which are done from laziness. Where great things are achieved, people seek to live in half, and God's will lives in half, and it is difficult to guard against cleverness, perseverance and self-cultivation. It is necessary to cultivate one's mind first, and then happiness is self-loathing. There are two sides to losing without arrogance and fierce virtue: to be proud for a long time, to talk too much, to lose reputation, and to be suspicious from far and near, and not to be more bitter because of physical weakness than to cherish wisdom. Being able to coordinate with others is the third meaning. All useful things should not be scattered, but also be diligent and respectful. Although fools have the flavor of wisdom and wisdom, ordinary people should pay full attention to this matter. It is always appropriate to reward their strengths, while at the same time regulating their shortcomings. Where there is prosperity, there will be decline, so we must plan ahead. Wealth is too heavy, and it is not good to be satisfied with the world and the people. Those who should reduce should definitely reduce it. Those who should save money should definitely save money and look at the children of poor families in the village. The more charming you look, the more difficult it is to become a gentleman. Those who take know life as the first priority and enjoy great fame will have strange disasters. When encountering difficulties, they must work hard from the word patience. When they are determined to show frustration and humiliation, they must grit their teeth and inspire themselves, save their gas and grow up to be wise. We must learn from others and focus on gas. There are only two things, one is to enter Germany, and the other is to study. Why use people? Evil looks at the eyes and nose, true and false at the lips, fame and spirit, wealth and spirit. You should not be too smart, dignified and heavy, and humility and tolerance are expensive. It is rich to have something to return to, and it is rich to have something to save. Why choose a place? Why choose the time? But ask yourself if it's true! First, we must be ambitious, second, we must be knowledgeable, and third, those who have been attacked by past lives can be more self-sufficient; Those who have not been in the past life can create their own brothers and harmony. Although the poor and self-protected small families will prosper, the brothers will not be harmonious. Although the aristocratic families will fail, they will not be greedy for money, and they will not break their promises. With these three provinces, natural people will respect people's sincerity, and then they will be sages for a long time. It is not dependent on the amount of reading. I am only cautious every day, and I would rather not start a war for a few days. Doing things silently and odorlessly, we should be precise and simple, and we should not live alone. If we are willing to shirk our responsibilities, we can do it. All aristocratic children have the same food, clothing and daily life as those of those who are poor, so they can achieve great things. If they are infected with wealth and habits, it is difficult to expect to be a successful person. Because they are born, it is difficult to change, but reading can change their temperament and manners. If you don't make a mistake, you must grit your teeth and be determined, and you must be respectful. From the latter, for example, those who are born today with the ability to make achievements, who do not complain, especially those who use the family way for a long time, do not rely on the temporary official position, but rely on the long-term family rules, not on the sudden occurrence of one or two people, and rely on the public to maintain the king's government, which is based on less anger, and the pro-family is based on winning the favor, which is a long-term suspicion. It is only worth laughing at and breaking the heart, and the way to enjoy the name alone is to fold the happiness. 3. Zeng Guofan wrote the classical Chinese "original talent"
How thick and thin is the wind? It's just what one or two people want. People are born, the weak are weak, and all of them are also. There are one or two sages and wise men, then everyone will be ordered by you, especially the wise men. If the heart of one or two people is righteous, then everyone will go to righteousness with it; If one or two people are interested in profit, then everyone will go with it. The trend of the people and the return of the situation, although there is great strength, do not dare to go against it. Therefore, it is said, "Those who scratch everything are not ill with the wind." The desire of the wind is in people's hearts, which is very small at first, but ultimately irresistible.
the former king ruled the world, which made all the sages in power, and their people also appealed to justice, so the way was the same. Since the world religion has declined, the so-called one or two people are not in power, and their heart's desire cannot but be expressed as words, but broadcast as sound. And everyone, the potential can't help but obey, and steam for practice. As a result, the party has risen, and the talents of the moment have come out. There are those who advocate benevolence and righteousness, and their disciples also die of benevolence and righteousness; Those who advocate utilitarianism will die of utilitarianism and never return. When the water is wet, the fire is dry, and it has never been a long time. Today's gentleman is in power, saying, "There is no talent in the world." He died in a clever place, and he could not transfer customs as he wanted, while Tao Zhu I was a man. And turning to Xie said, "no talent", can it be said that it is not false? No also. In a city with ten rooms, there are righteous people whose wisdom is enough to move ten people, and they will be able to choose the best of them. Those who are wise enough to move a hundred people will be able to pull out the best of them.
However, the people who changed their customs and Tao Zhu I were not in a brilliant place. Anyone who lives more than one life is also responsible. If you have a country, you will be careful with those who are in heaven. If the doctor of the earth has to talk about it and keep it, he will be afraid of doing what he wants, fearing that it will be improper, bad customs and thieves. If you follow it, after decades, there will be one person who will get its effect, and you will not see it.
Trial translation:
Where did the simplicity and thinness of social fashion come from? It just comes from the ideological tendency of one or two people. Among the people, there are mediocre and cowardly people everywhere. If there are one or two talented and intelligent people, everyone will support them and listen to their teachings. People who are particularly talented and intelligent have a lot of supporters. These two people's hearts are oriented towards benevolence and righteousness, and everyone pursues benevolence and righteousness with him; These one or two people are inclined to fame and fortune, so everyone will compete with him for fame and fortune. What people go to forms the general trend. Even if there is great power, no one dares to violate it. Therefore, it is said, "Nothing shakes everything in the world faster and stronger than the wind." The influence of social fashion on personal thoughts is very weak at first, and will be irresistible in the end.
In ancient times, emperors ruled the world, so that all the wise and intelligent people occupied important positions and held power. They also used benevolence, righteousness and morality to educate the people, so the social norms were unified and the fashion was the same at that time. After the decline of world education, the above-mentioned one or two people are not all in important positions, but their aspirations are bound to be vigorously promoted and widely spread from their mouths, causing momentum. Then everyone will have to listen to their call and gradually form a custom. In this way, their like-minded followers will gather and increase, and temporary talents will be produced from here. Those who advocate benevolence and righteousness, his followers will die for benevolence and righteousness without hesitation; Those who call for utility, his followers will also sacrifice for utility and never look back. (Zhou Yigan Gua said in classical Chinese:) "Water flows to a wet place, and the fire burns close to something dry." There is no appeal that cannot be sensed, and this situation has been around for a long time.
nowadays, gentlemen in power often say, "There are no talents in the world". They are in high positions and dignitaries. They can't use their ideals to change fashion and cultivate contemporary talents, but they refuse to say, "There are no talents", thinking that this is not self-deception, okay? I can't! In a small town of ten families, if there is a gentleman who advocates benevolence and righteousness, and his intelligence is enough to change ten people, he will certainly be able to select the best of the ten people and cultivate them into useful people; If his intelligence can change a hundred people, he will certainly be able to select the best among them and cultivate them into useful people. Then, changing customs and cultivating a generation of talents is not just a matter for people who live in dignitaries. Anyone who has half-time jobs has the responsibility to participate in this matter.
People who dominate the state administration adopt my ideas, and if they are here, they will carefully choose talents who can * * * safeguard the throne; When a scholar-bureaucrat adopts my opinion and thinks that he is here, he will be cautious, afraid and cautious about his own ambitions, fearing that his ideas are occasionally inappropriate, thus ruining fashion and destroying talents. According to this method, after decades, there may be an effective day, right? This is not what I can foresee.
Original, one of the styles of argument, covers the original meaning of things to show people. This body originated from Han Yu's five original works, and later generations were caused by it; Its twists and turns are restrained, which is contrary to the argument. Han Yu's original way and Huang Zongxi's original gentleman are famous works of "original" style. This paper discusses the problem of talent training, from emphasizing the importance of talents, talking about the methods of training talents, and then discussing that it is Tao Zhu's unshirkable responsibility to achieve results in the future, which can be described as the original and the best. Talents in Tao Zhu should change their customs, which is always advocated by Wen Zhenggong, and it can be found in both recitation and diaries. This argument is most specific and subtle. The political situation in the late Qing Dynasty was full of events. In order to save the decline, Zeng advocated starting with Tao Zhu talents and changing the atmosphere; Gong Zizhen, another fierce reformer, also cares about talents. He sneers at current politics and seeks to liberate talents. Gong Zizhen's account of illness can be compared with the original talents and read. 4. Zeng Guofan's famous saying
"Heaven avoids cleverness". Heaven hates opportunistic behavior. "The world is the most clumsy, and the world should be the most skillful; To be sincere in the world, to be false in the world ","great wisdom is foolish, great ingenuity is clumsy ",and one point of hard work is rewarded. "Heaven avoids cleverness", and the road of opportunism will not be long. Mr. Lu Xun once said that "playing tricks is also effective, but limited". Taking a shortcut may be effective, but it is limited, and it is not far away. Life must be clumsy. All successful careers are like this, they are very hard, and they are the result of long-term hard work and labor. There is no pie in the sky, and there is no free lunch on earth. Don't believe in any planning. If you have an idea, you can get rich overnight. There is no such shortcut in the world. Life is one step at a time. What is the road? What comes out step by step is the road. We should take our own road in a down-to-earth manner. Mencius said that "the source of gangsters, who don't give up day and night, are backward in the Pacific Ocean", and the spring water is rolling out, day and night, filling the potholes and moving on, and finally flowing into the sea. The ancients talked about the highest philosophy of life extracted from life. We should be honest, move forward step by step, work hard and be stupid, and never be clever and harm others. In the Analects of Confucius, Confucius said, "Clever words make you look good, but it is rare to be kind." People who are opportunistic and flattering face to face rarely have "kindness" and are generally villains. A thousand words from sages mean that people should start from the side, understand the big truth from small things, and see the big from small ones. We should be down-to-earth and conscientious, and step on the earth, not in the clouds, which will fall down. That's not where we step. "The terrain is Kun, the morality is loaded", and a career can only be done based on the earth.
"Heaven avoids profit". When the moon is full, it will lose money. On the 15th, the moon is the roundest, and on the 16th, it will start to lose money. It is a natural phenomenon that the sun will drift at noon. The first nine divinatory symbols said that "Kang Long has regrets" and "expensive without position, high without people". If it is too high, it will be extremely counterproductive. "Guanzi" says that "the bucket is full of people, and the sky is full of people". If the bucket is full of people, it will be scraped flat, and people will not be happy if they are full of God. "Heaven loses money and benefits modesty", the nature of heaven is to make the surplus lose money and compensate the dissatisfied, and the surplus is full, just like the monthly surplus loses money; "The tunnel becomes surplus and flows modestly", and the nature of the land is to make the surplus overflow and flow to the depressed place. There are sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes, including a modest hexagram, which is drawn like this, with Kun above and Gen below, with Kun as the land and Gen as the mountain. The mountains are higher than the ground, but we should be modest enough to put the mountains below the ground and put ourselves at the bottom. This is modesty. People like modest people, "water can only make the sea below, and mountains can't be too high to reach the sky."
"Heaven forbids two things". Second, there are two minds, not dedicated, disloyal and persistent. The ancients often said, people have no two purposes, and their hearts are useless. Those who have no ambition always aspire to it, and those who have aspirations make Chang Zhi. Learning is expensive and constant, and seeking things is expensive. To achieve a career, we need the spirit of insisting that the castle peak will not relax, and the dedication of "the clothes are getting wider and wider, and people are haggard for Iraq", so that we can have the realm of "suddenly looking back, but that person is in the dim light". Only with the ambition of "poverty can't be moved, wealth can't be lewd, and power can't be bent" can we have the integrity of not being a "second minister" until death, and "no one has died in life since ancient times, so we can keep our hearts and take care of our history." "Life is always the first virtue". Confucius advocated that "a gentleman should never pass".
Life is honest learning, "avoid cleverness, avoid surplus and avoid two", which is the right way of life. 5. Zeng Guofan wrote the classical Chinese "original talent"
How thick and thin is the wind? It's all about what one or two people want. People are born to be weak, and it's all about what they want. If there are one or two sages and wise men, everyone will be ordered by you, especially the wise men. If one or two people want justice, everyone will go to justice with them. One or two people's hearts are interested in profit, then everyone will go to profit with them. Although there is great power, they dare not go against it. Therefore, it is said, "Those who scratch everything don't worry about the wind." The wind's desire is in people's hearts, but it is ultimately irresistible. The first king ruled the world, making all sages be treated.
