How high is the sky and how thick is the earth? I'm afraid no one can know. Of all the things in the world, what is more difficult for people to know is the human heart from across the belly, especially how to guard against the villains around you. The sage Zeng Guofan made great contributions in his life, and single-handedly saved the Qing Dynasty from danger. The most powerful thing was not his "great achievements", but his ability to recognize people. According to Zeng Guofan's theory of recognizing people, the most important thing about whether a person is a gentleman or a villain is to understand these three points and understand that honest people can also be smart in dealing with the world.

To put it bluntly, the core of Zeng Guofan’s ability to recognize people lies in seeing through human nature. The fundamental difference between a gentleman and a villain depends on human nature. Human nature is difficult to see through. Once you understand human nature, it will be amazing. It is basically considered a "half-immortal level". We ordinary people do not seek to become half-immortals, but we seek to protect ourselves and seek happiness. The human heart is not only separated by the belly, but also by the blurred and yellowed fat, which is even more difficult. The ancients said that "the true story can be seen in the details." Combining Zeng Guofan's skill of recognizing people and observing the details, it is estimated that a person can be seen almost clearly.

The first detail: chatting manner, distinguishing authenticity

Appearance comes from the heart, and the words of this gold and jade are sincere and do not deceive others. The way a person looks when he speaks can tell a lot. The expression mentioned here does not only refer to the expression, but also refers to the comprehensive display of the five senses. Whether a person is a gentleman or a villain can basically be determined by his demeanor. The demeanor of a gentleman is often formed by the precipitation of temperament. He is natural and unpretentious, calm and leisurely, like a spring breeze; Therefore, if you understand the details of how to identify authenticity when chatting, honest people can also observe words and emotions and deal with things shrewdly.

The second detail: the tone of speaking, the depth of understanding people

Zeng Guofan is a master of recognizing people. He can often judge by the tone of his voice whether the other person is a knowledgeable gentleman. , still a shallow and ignorant villain. The tone of a gentleman is upright and upright, with a strong sense of power; the tone of a villain is confusing and confusing because of the weird thoughts in his heart. He is always covering up something, but in the final analysis he still has nothing to offer. Honest people understand this detail, and love gentlemen and stay far away from villains to achieve their own goals. This is the first step in being smart in life.

The third detail: Gestures and movements, judging people’s quality

Gestures and movements are used properly, which can well assist oral expression, control emotions well, and move freely. People are sincerely convinced, thus making the other party feel like a spring breeze. Gentleman gestures, used appropriately and appropriately to assist what you want to express, communicate with others with a static expression of "no fight, just fight", which will not put invisible pressure on people; villain gestures, on the other hand, dance around and make you unable to understand others at all. What he is saying, even when he says something emotional, he does something to make you "shut up". Most of the honest people are stupid. They judge people's quality by their gestures and actions. It's not a big problem for them to be smart in dealing with the world.

Getting along with others is an art, and the knowledge involved cannot be fully explained in just a few words. In a nutshell, what Zeng Guofan tells us is how to identify people through the above three details. Whether a person is a gentleman or a villain, these three details basically make it clear. Only when honest people understand the above three details can they behave wisely. In the final analysis, the most fundamental purpose of how an honest person can identify a gentleman or a villain is to "take sides". An honest person will naturally not suffer any loss if he follows a gentleman. On the contrary, if he follows a villain, the final outcome will be nothing more than losing both inside and outside.
