Zeng Guofan wrote his own epitaph: "Don't believe in books, believe in luck"?

This is Zeng Guofan's self-evaluation. At that time, Zeng Guofan's Xiang army succeeded in "suppressing bandits". He doesn't think it's all his own credit. He believes that the main reason for the failure or even demise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is themselves. He realized that his ability to write a book was instantly destroyed in such a big game of chess, so he refused to take credit, not to mention how wise he was, but gave more than half of the credit to God. This should be his heartfelt words. Although unexpected and even a little funny, it is not hypocritical at all.
