Zeng Guofan's example of fortune telling

Let's talk about faces first. In Zeng Guofan's physiognomy formula, look at nose, eyes, spirit, hands and feet, and language. It is basically consistent with our current HR interview level. The nose and eyes determine most of the five senses, and people with correct five senses often leave a good impression. People with good spirits naturally have plenty of energy to cope with their work, and naturally they can achieve something with great probability. Hands can tell whether a person has good habits, especially nails. The hands of people who often do manual labor are different from those of people who don't do housework at all. The latter is soft and lacks strength, but it is clean and white. A person who speaks in an orderly way must have a clear mind, which proves that he has a certain understanding of what he says.

This kind of mind-reading is right for most people, and it is also right to adopt these methods in employing people. But there are exceptions to everything, what's more, Zeng Guofan's life is only the view of future generations. Is he really right about the wrong person? His life has been ups and downs, not smooth sailing. If you really had superb physiognomy and looked at yourself from others, Zeng Guofan would not have gone so hard and was included in the list of inspirational models.

Besides, Zeng Guofan's attitude towards his children, he has three sons and five daughters. According to the traditional thought, his godson ignored his daughter and obviously preferred sons to daughters. Then who did his daughter marry? Zeng Guofan probably wouldn't interview his son-in-law with physiognomy. Moreover, the family he married off his daughter is either the son of a colleague or the adopted son at home, and there is nothing to climb. He took it for granted that his colleague's son would be as talented as his colleague, but he forgot that he had nine sons, which was still different. Under the trust, Zeng Guofan won't pay attention to the marital status of his daughter who he doesn't value. His five daughters failed in four marriages, and the ending of his early death can illustrate this point.

Zeng Guofan really didn't know that his daughter was not doing well? He knows. In terms of marriage, Zeng Guofan thinks so. Even if the daughter is really wronged, according to Zeng Guofan's idea, the daughter is more wronged, and kindness is the most important. Without the support of her father, it is normal for her married daughter to meet the wrong person and lead a miserable life. When Zeng Guofan's eldest daughter got married, he knew very well that the son of an old friend was crooked. In order to live up to the entrustment of his old friends, Zeng Guofan decided to marry his daughter. This kind of decision is by no means a way to really hurt the daughter's family. Sure enough, the eldest daughter got married, and the husband married someone else first, so he wrote to his brother. After Zeng Guofan knew about it, he just told her to let her son-in-law. If it really doesn't work, she will adopt a son-in-law herself. Only when the eldest son-in-law embarrassed Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan chose to be with his son-in-law forever, completely forgetting that he had a daughter and pushed it to the bad son-in-law.
