Zeng Guofan said fortune telling

The power of human beings will never be distorted by the power of nature.

Zeng Guofan's life can be said to be a life of mutual destruction with himself. Before that, he said: I don't believe in two things in my life. One is that I don't believe in Feng Shui, and the other is that I don't believe in fate.

But after rich experience, he began to believe in Feng Shui and fate.

Why do many entrepreneurs, successful people and rich people believe in Feng Shui? Why do these powerful people like to study Zeng Guofan? In fact, they believe in Feng Shui and are all inspired by their predecessors.

Li Ka-shing, Ma Yun, Zong Houqing, founder of Wahaha, and Bill Gates all believe in geomantic omen.

Before that, Zeng Guofan was attracted by his long-admired grandfather. He didn't believe in Mr. Feng Shui, monks, Taoist priests, wizards and doctors. This also affected Zeng Guofan. At this stage, Zeng Guofan did not believe in Feng Shui, and once really believed in Feng Shui until his family's fortune changed.

In fact, many people are superstitious about "supernatural power" because they judge by their own experience. However, many times, people's experience is not necessarily effective.

Coupled with the death of his grandmother, Zeng Guofan realized that "natural forces" were beyond human control. At that time, grandma died, and grandpa asked to be buried in his favorite pigou chong. People advised him that the feng shui in this place is not good, but how to change what he decided?

Zeng Guofan can only agree, but to the surprise of Zeng's family, after his grandmother was buried, there were many happy events at home. His grandfather got well, and three people were added to his family. Ceng Guoquan also won a scholar, and Zeng Guofan began to get a promotion and a raise.

What's going on here? Zeng Guofan believes that it is obviously the good feng shui of the grandmother's burial place that makes the Zeng family prosperous.

He himself believes that the natural force of Feng Shui is given by God and beyond the control of human power.

He also learned the essential differences among people, animals and plants by studying the orientation of biological heads.

He said: where the sky is round, people's heads are round, like the sky, and their feet are square, like the ground. People walk upright between heaven and earth, with their heads in the sky and their feet on the ground, so they can accept the meaning of heaven and earth, have knowledge and understand the truth.

Animals, on the other hand, have their feet down and their heads forward. They can only accept the deviation between heaven and earth and only understand the knowledge of a mold. For example, the crow said that something bad had happened, the dog could only watch the door, and the cow could only plow the field.

Neo-Confucianism believes that everything is evolved from Taiji Qi, and since it is Qi, it can inspire each other. Zhu believes that people explain ghosts and gods by the evolution of qi.

Indeed, people often say that a person's life is a breath. A tree has a layer of skin. As long as he doesn't swallow his last breath, it means that this man is still a little saved.

Therefore, since we are human beings, we must be competitive.

Fate is hard, do your best, or listen to fate.

When Zeng Guofan had rich life experience and experience, he began to believe that there was a more mysterious and powerful destiny above Feng Shui.

In fact, as early as the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, people thought that heaven was a powerful personality with will and dominated everything.

Among them, Confucius believed in destiny. He often said: a gentleman has three fears, one is afraid of destiny, the other is afraid of adults, and the third is afraid of the words of saints.

People often say that fate is determined by heaven, that is to say, the greatness of fate lies in its uncompromising and unshakable nature.

As early as in China culture, the influence of fate on China people is also deeply rooted.

You may have heard people say that character determines fate. Zhu He said that fate determines character. In other words, people's wealth has a destiny.

If you have read Zeng Guofan, you can see that Zeng Guofan in his youth was actually a typical "man can conquer nature" socialist. He believes in the power of will and that human will is omnipotent. Man's fate is mainly in his own hands, and anyone can be reborn by his own will.

That's because when he was young, he had no experience and didn't know what fate was for him.

In other words, young and frivolous, the winner is king. In fact, if these are useless, you can only have a mouth addiction while you are young.

But the reality is that many times, people's efforts and gains are not directly proportional.

Some people are not born to study, but they can do great things after entering society. Some people have a low starting point, but they have a great career. Although some people come from rich families, they have accomplished nothing in their lives.

So, fate is like a woman's heart. You have no idea what the next second will bring you. This may be the mysterious reason of fate.

Just like Zeng Guofan, there are too many unexpected things in his life. Before the age of 28, he took seven scholar exams before he succeeded and failed twice. He never imagined that his fate had been smooth sailing since he was 28 years old.

Therefore, it is not entirely up to one person to decide what one's achievements can achieve. He thought a long time ago that in order to make contributions, things in the sky are half and people are half.

Life and death are life, and wealth is in the sky.

Some events are too large for one person or a group to decide.

There are many levels of strength behind, such as weather, geographical location, human harmony, history, humanities, etc. The role that a person can play is very limited.

At the beginning of the Taiping Rebellion, many Qing generals wanted to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, his power in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was on the rise. Because of the civil strife in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the subsequent administrative riots, Zeng Guofan later led the Xiang Army to victory.

Therefore, after these experiences, Zeng Guofan believes that the scope of people's subjective efforts can be quite narrow, and environment and opportunities are far more important than people's efforts.

The education we received from childhood is also subjective, but now think about it, man and heaven are subjective and objective, how can subjectivity be greater than objectivity, and how can man overcome heaven?

The cruelest fact in this world is that fate cannot be violated. On the contrary, the game of life has completely lost its charm.

However, it is because of fate that the game will not end. Since the game won't end, why care about winning or losing?

Just do your best and leave it to fate.
