Zeng Guofan's Enlightenment

Today, I began to read Ceng Shiqiang's Enlightenment from Zeng Guofan. Why did I choose this? First of all, Ceng Shiqiang is a master of Chinese studies. I have heard of his wisdom of the Book of Changes before. It is said that many of Zeng Guofan's revelations were answered through the Book of Changes, so I was curious. Secondly, Zeng Guofan is also very attractive to me. Compared with Confucius and Wang Yangming, Zeng Guofan was not a genius, and even recorded mediocre qualifications. Through the efforts of the day after tomorrow, it is more worthwhile for me to copy my homework.

People are born with dry hexagrams and dragons, but as long as one of them changes, the whole hexagrams will be different. We know that Zeng Guofan's life involves many factors. In fact, it was easy for him to walk down the ramp, but he didn't. Then how did he make his life so successful? This is really worth learning.

Zeng Guofan's life curve, he began to decline at the age of 30 ~ 4 1, and it was tortuous. He started to go up at the age of 50 and finally died at the age of 62. Life is a curve, everyone goes through various twists and turns, and finally walks through his life.

Zeng Guofan has suffered a lot in the past ten years, and he can't die or live. From 4 1 to 50 years old, this whole decade is the most difficult and painful period in his life, but it is also the most successful and lucky period. One can change one's own destiny. But remember: only you can change, and no one else can. The change of mentality and behavior is entirely your own behavior, and others can't help you.

From the Book of Changes, Zeng Guofan's life was changed by himself, from dry divination to long divination, and finally became a regular divination.
