Example Essay on Reading Experience from Zeng Guofan’s Family Letter for Grade 6

The sixteen-character motto of “Zeng Guofan’s Family Letter”: “A frugal family will be prosperous, and a diligent person will be healthy; if you can be diligent and frugal, you will never be poor or humble. "Not long ago, after reading this book, I deeply felt that diligence and frugality are the foundation of self-cultivation.

Be diligent, frugal and self-sufficient, regardless of whether you are an official or a commoner. "I have served as an official for more than 20 years, and I dare not get into the official habits. I still stick to the humble family customs in my diet and daily life." Zeng Guofan, who was the prime minister, should not be frugal and stay away from luxury. In the capital, he saw that the children of the aristocratic family were blindly extravagant, corrupt and squandering, so he refused to allow his children to live in the capital. His first wife has been living with her children in her hometown in the countryside, and no plaques saying "Prime Minister's Mansion" or "Hou Mansion" are allowed to be hung outside the door. Zeng Guofan demanded that he "lead his subordinates with integrity, run the family with frugality, and vowed not to use any money from the army to support the family." His wife had no money at home, so she cooked and weaved herself. "The moral article crowns the generation".

Be diligent, frugal and self-disciplined. "Sun and others are in Beijing. They have no other livelihood and cannot prepare anything to support them. I am so ashamed." Zeng Guofan often felt guilty because he had no money to honor his parents, and was deeply worried because he had no money to support his family. At that time, Zeng Guofan had just "enjoyed the emperor to go to heaven." Well, you have to be able to test the difference." It stands to reason that there should be an endless stream of gold and silver sent over, so why can't even the family help? He does not do business, does not accept bribes, and is strict with himself in everything, so much so that he is so poor that he even returns to his hometown. There is no money to save money for relatives.

Be diligent, thrifty and self-sufficient, and be kind to others. "If someone in your family is an official, you must be lax with your neighbors, and you must be conservative in your family affairs." Zeng Guofan not only set an example, preferring poverty to corruption, but also set an example for those around him, established rules, and remained poor. Just because you are an official in the government, you must be more tolerant to others and strict to yourself, and you must restrain your relatives and neighbors, so as to be cautious, cautious about independence, and cautious about power. The motto written in the family letter can be applied to today's world. How many leading cadres have fallen under the sword of anti-corruption, all because they failed to take care of themselves and the people around them.

Diligence, thrift and self-sufficiency are the foundation of a prosperous family and the foundation of a strong country. Since the Party Central Committee advocated conservation, people across the country have taken active actions. The "CD-ROM" action alone has saved up to 8 million tons of fat on the dining table every year, which is equivalent to the oil content of 15 million tons of soybeans. It is regarded as an insignificant table residue but It can reduce soybean imports by more than 10 million tons per year. Seeing the big from the small, practicing diligence and frugality, and opposing extravagance and waste cannot stop at the dining table, nor can the trend of frugality just arise for a moment. Today, as we build socialist spiritual civilization, our party members and cadres have the responsibility to pay more attention to diligence, thrift and self-sufficiency, consciously practice the core socialist values, and be qualified citizens, aspiring young people and promising cadres.

Example 2 of the sixth grade Zeng Guofan’s reading experience

Speaking of Zeng Guofan, the first thing we think of is his political style in the Qing Dynasty and his political achievements. However, in fact, he is an important historical figure in modern China. He is known as the first famous official in the late Qing Dynasty, a perfect man through the ages, and a model in officialdom. He purified the political style, advocated Western learning, and initiated the Tongzhi Renaissance, which allowed the Qing Dynasty, which was about to collapse, to continue for more than 60 years. No one can imitate his achievements. Mao Zedong once said in his youth: "If you are stupid than your neighbors, you will only obey Zeng Wenzheng." This shows the great influence of Zeng Guofan. The same was true for Chiang Kai-shek, who also stated that he would only serve Zeng Guofan throughout his life. Chiang Kai-shek also used "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter" as a teaching material for the Whampoa Military Academy to educate the military and educate them morally.

Zeng Guofan’s family education thoughts are mainly reflected in the letters he wrote home to his sons Jize, Ji Hong and his younger brothers. There are more than 330 family letters of Zeng Guofan, which is the largest number of family letters preserved in history. The whole book is divided into 10 categories: family management, self-cultivation, education, financial management, emergency relief, making friends, working with people, marching, traveling, and chores. The Zeng family has always been very strict and organized in running the family. Zeng Guofan was influenced by his family tradition, and he was very strict with his children and taught them earnestly. There are many merits in his guiding ideology of family education. For example, in teaching children to read, learn, be diligent, frugal, independent, perseverant, cultivate themselves, and serve as officials, they all inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

"In politics, one should learn from Zeng Guofan, and in business, one should learn from Hu Xueyan." This is a widely recognized saying by people with lofty ideals in modern times. Since modern times, Zeng Guofan has been regarded as a role model in officialdom by political figures. He is familiar with Chinese history, has a thorough understanding of the ways of officialdom, and has accumulated a set of unique officialdom skills of "preserving poverty". "Poverty is the way to protect one's official position, and poverty is the way to good one's body." This is one of his creeds. This creed was applied to the Chinese officialdom, making it invincible and invincible. He wrote a couplet "Feeding a bunch of spring meaning, supporting two poor bones" to motivate himself, and be a good official who upholds poverty and integrity throughout his life, "civilian officials are not greedy for money, military officials are not afraid of death". It can be seen from the family letter that Zeng Guofan was a good son who could make his parents feel at ease; a good brother who could teach and take good care of his younger siblings and was considerate; Zeng Guofan was a kind father and a good example for his children.

His family letters emphasize life ideals, spiritual realm and moral cultivation, which are considered unattainable by today's people. In a modern society where family ties are becoming increasingly indifferent, neighbors and relatives are strangers, and people are indifferent and materialistic. Reading "Zeng Guofan's Family Letters" seriously has the value of persuading the world to become secular. It is really worth reading for everyone, especially for today's wealthy people. Second-generation education goes a long way. Since ancient times, most official families have only been prosperous for three generations, and most of them lost their hereditary glory because of the dandy children's "civilian officials love money, military officials are afraid of death." However, the Zeng family has had talents from generation to generation, and there have been a number of diplomats, poets, educators, scientists and senior cadres such as Zeng Jize, Zeng Guangjun, Zeng Yoonong, Zeng Baosun, Zeng Xianzhi and so on. Zeng Guofan had profound intellectual accomplishments. Mao Zedong was very accurate when he said that he was a "person who did things (did things) and preached (leave behind ideas and doctrines)". He studied diligently throughout his life, admired Confucianism, and emphasized pragmatism in dealing with the world. He became another "Confucian master" after Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi; he innovated the literary theory of the Tongcheng School, and his poems and proses presided over the Daoguang period. In the literary circles of the three dynasties of Xianfeng, Xianfeng and Tongzhi, it can be said that he was a figure who was crowned with moral articles throughout his life.

After reading "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter", I felt not only admiration but also admiration!

Sample essay three on reading Zeng Guofan's Family Letter

"Traitor, executioner" , traitor" is Zeng Guofan's evaluation recorded in history. However, starting in the 1990s, a study appeared in China's ideological and cultural circles to comment on Zeng Guofan's craze. Why does the same character lead to completely opposite conclusions? Zeng Guofan lived in an era of earth-shaking changes in Chinese society. I think it was the fierce, sharp, and complicated national struggle that pushed him to the forefront and created his complex thoughts and character. His life's activities had a significant impact on Chinese social history in three aspects: military career, industrial creation and academic cultivation. Being flattering or demanding are not what I want to say. The merits and demerits of the past are left to readers with more profound thoughts to make judgments. What I want to say is after I read his family letters again, about the words of "being an honest person" that run through his family letters.

There are five Zeng Guofan brothers, and he is the eldest. As the elder brother, he fully shouldered the important responsibilities of his brothers in studying, behaving, and cultivating themselves. His family letters mentioned his grandfather Zeng Yuping's family management instructions many times. His earnest teachings on how to behave in society, engage in political affairs, observe family traditions, and take care of body and mind fully reflect his demeanor as an elder brother. One of the "Teaching Di" chapters is specifically written to Cheng Di and Zeng Guoquan, who are responsible for housework at home. Zeng Guofan insisted on teaching his younger brothers to study and be good people, regardless of many aspects. This moved me for a long time, so I couldn't help but want to write it down to encourage my colleagues and friends. I personally don’t think anyone would have any objection.

In the first month of the eighth year of Xianfeng's reign, Zeng Guofan wrote to his younger brother Zeng Guoquan that he should be an honest man. Zeng Guofan believed that he was an honest person by nature, just because he had seen a lot of vicissitudes of life and was experienced in the world, and sometimes he used a little cleverness to make changes, which made him bad. (Haha, after reading this, I still feel that this guy is somewhat excusing himself) Looking at the next sentence, I can accept it again. He also said that in fact, using these techniques to make changes is always not as easy as others, and it will make people laugh in vain. What is the benefit? He reflected on himself and thought that it would be better to "return my true nature to me and regain my inherent nature." Because he is smart A person should first be an honest person and work hard toward the ordinary. He advised his younger brother to return to his loyal and honest nature as soon as possible and never go down the road of technical changes, which would make him more and more despicable. He believes that even if others treat you with cunning and deceit, you should still treat them with simplicity and kindness, and treat them with sincerity. Over time, other people's opinions will be eliminated. If you just blindly intrigue and refuse to give in to each other, then how long will it take to retaliate against each other?

You can say the merits and demerits of Qianqiu, but I think anyone will be moved by the connotation of the above text. Such family training, such teaching. When will it become obsolete? Who has any objections? Throughout human history, every great man has his own unique personality charm. Zeng Guofan is not a great man, but his sincere teachings naturally demonstrate the deep inner cultivation of this man. I thought deeply once I read it, and I couldn't help but be moved when I read it again, so much so that I wanted to read it many times. Until deep into the depths of this person's soul, there is a measure of one's own.

Being an honest person is really an eternal and golden rule. I am thinking more deeply now, because of Zeng Guofan’s family letters, I think I will be inspired by this family training and think longer.

Sample essay 4 on reading experience of Zeng Guofan’s family letters for the sixth grade

Zeng Guofan is a legendary figure in Chinese history. Later generations spoke highly of him, “one of the four masters of late Qing Dynasty and ZTE”, “ancient and modern "The First Perfect Man" and so on. Not many of his works have been passed down to later generations, but they are very important. Reading them will benefit people a lot. You can get a little idea of ??them from "Zeng Guofan Family Letters".

It’s called a “letter from home,” but it’s not. The work is in an epistolary format, the text is easy to understand, and the content is meaningful. After reading it carefully, I feel that it is like food, which can maintain the continuation of spiritual life; like a hospital, which can heal the scars of the soul; and like a supermarket, where abundant things are available. It's up to you...

First, about reading and self-cultivation.

Zeng Guofan believed that scholars should first have ambition when studying. Only those who are ambitious will not be willing to be inferior; secondly, they must be knowledgeable.

If one has knowledge, he knows that knowledge is endless and he does not dare to be self-sufficient. He is like a river boy looking at the sea or a well frog looking at the sky. They are both ignorant. "My life has an end, but my knowledge has no end." This is the truth; thirdly, there must be perseverance. If there is perseverance, nothing can be accomplished.

Regarding the process of reading books, you should read them one by one. If you haven’t finished a book, you must not read other books. Reading here and there is because you are influenced by the outside world. In addition, scholars also pay attention to nourishing qi, that is, being calm and calm, saying everything to others, having qi stored in the Dantian, and being open-minded. Pay attention to self-preservation, that is, abstinence from sex, labor, and diet. Too much desire will only bring trouble to people, while excessive fatigue will make people exhausted physically and mentally and lose all hope. The third word of caution. Scholars should always be careful when speaking, as the saying goes, "Misfortune comes from the mouth."

Second, about fame.

In traditional Chinese culture, the reputation of scholars is a long-standing topic. Thousands of years of official career history can be said to be the ultimate evaluation of scholars: "Those who succeed are kings, and those who fail are bandits." , but Zeng Guofan also has his own opinions on this evaluation standard. He learned from a letter at home that his fourth and sixth brothers failed to pass the exam, and he felt sad. He believed that the name of the subject was determined by his previous life and could not be forced at all. There are two purposes for scholars: one is to strengthen moral cultivation and pay attention to sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, and family integrity, so as not to disgrace the ancestors; the other is to study to gain fame and achieve a career in order to extend one's life. And the most important thing to continue life is to feed yourself. Farmers, craftsmen, and businessmen work hard to support themselves, and scholars work hard to support themselves. They are all the same. If a scholar succeeds in the examination, he will be paid a salary in the court. If he fails, he will be taught in the countryside, or be a guest clerk, or a guest in the palace. All of these need to be calculated according to his ability in order to be able to live well. To take a step back, even if you are on the list and serve as an official in the court, you must still consider your talents and virtues, so as not to be in a deadlock in the future. However, whether all of this is gained or not depends entirely on God's will, and whether the karma is good or not is up to oneself. However, there is no karma in the world and people who have no food and clothing are like farmers' farming. Even if there are famine years, they will definitely fail. There will be good years, just like a merchant's goods are overstocked and unsalable, there will also be times when they sell well. Then scholars, if they are good at work, will eventually gain fame. Even if they don't, they will definitely find other ways to support themselves. In Zeng Guofan's view, fame is not the main thing, but making a living is the key.

Under his educational philosophy, his son Zeng Jize was not only accomplished in Chinese poetry, calligraphy and painting, but also had a strong interest in Western mathematics, physics, chemistry and linguistics. He also wrote many academic monographs. He also taught himself many languages ??and was proficient in English. He later became a diplomat of the Qing Dynasty. When Zeng Jihong, who was nine years younger than Zeng Jize, took the imperial examination, political corruption and fraud in the examination room were common. Zeng Guofan happened to make him a marquis. He was afraid that his son would go astray. Before the examination, he specifically told his son not to "have any contact with the state or county before the examination." "At the beginning of your career, you must know how to respect yourself." Before the results were released, he once again told his son to respect himself. Zeng Jihong failed many exams, and later became a self-taught mathematician in modern China. He has a mathematical monograph handed down to the world. The two sons embody Zeng Guofan's thoughts on fame and fame: "Whether you get fame or not depends entirely on God's will, and whether you are good at work or not, it is up to you." Such insights are great foresight.

Third, a gentleman’s worry.

The ancients once said that "life begins with literacy and worries begin, and you can forget about it when you first remember your name." This means that once a person learns and literacy, his life's worries and ups and downs will begin. Zeng Guofan believed that people's worries are the same as those of a gentleman. A common man's worry is that a gentleman's mind is big enough to tolerate all things and all peoples, and he has the ability to reflect on himself internally and assist the king externally. Then he makes his parents not humiliate him by giving birth to him, so that he can be worthy of being a man of heaven and earth. Therefore, a gentleman considers himself inferior to Shun. It is not as good as Zhou Gong to worry about his own moral character and lack of academic progress, worry about the stubbornness of the people and cunning people on the border, worry about the villain being in power and the gentleman fleeing far away. Of course, these are the worries of the superior people, and they are compassionate. feelings. An ordinary person would worry about the daily trivial matters of food and clothing, worldly honor and disgrace, and false reputation. In Zeng Guofan's view, an ordinary person's worries are nothing to worry about. If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. A person's life is limited to three meals a day, and his life is only seven feet long. "Even if there is an iron threshold for a thousand years, it is still a pile of dirt steamed buns." Why bother with a mere vain name and a small profit?

Fourth, there is a limit to the number of ups and downs in consciousness.

The rise and fall of all things has its own destiny. In the correspondence between Zeng Guofan and his family, there was an incident: Zeng Guofan sent one thousand taels of silver to his family, explaining that 600 taels of silver would be used for expenses and debt repayments, and 400 taels of silver would be used for gifts to relatives and friends. The Zeng family was not rich, and as a member of the family The eldest son has to pay for various expenses at home and the tuition fees for his younger brothers. Zeng Guofan himself often borrows money to make ends meet. But under such circumstances, why does Zeng Guofan still squeeze out money to help relatives? The reason is that he uses himself In other words, if you think that your family's fortune is too prosperous, you must be extra careful, thinking that the way to maintain profitability is to maintain peace. Zeng Guofan was the fastest-promoted person in the history of the Qing Dynasty, setting a record of "seven moves in ten years." Such a miracle is certainly related to his political ability, but on the other hand, it is also inseparable from his high political insight.

Zeng Guofan was born a commoner without any background or support. However, he was familiar with the dangers of officialdom. His experience in officialdom made him cautious at every step. For the sake of his career and economy, he not only had strict requirements on himself, but also on his family members, for fear that due to his official position, he would be in trouble. While changing the family's financial situation, it also breeds bad habits in the family, so you have to help your relatives when you are also in difficulty, and be extra careful when repaying debts. If there is a loss and the debt is not clear, then the good will fall short, and this is also the way to live happily." It is not good to be exhausted, and it is not good to be carried away.

In addition to the above four points, there are many other points of interest in "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter", such as about family harmony, about making friends, about running the army, etc. Read a family letter and read about Zeng Guofan's romance through the ages. A family letter can tell you about the rise and fall of a family. If you read a family letter, you will know how to work hard if your mind is calm!

Mao Zedong commented on Zeng Guofan, "I am superior to others in my neighborhood, but I only obey Zeng Wenzheng." This shows the great influence of Zeng Guofan. After reading all the letters from home, the main things that touched me personally were the following four aspects:

01. Learn his health-preserving methods
