Fan's experience in reading Zeng Guofan's letters in the sixth grade
Zeng Guofan's 16-character motto: "frugality is prosperous, diligence is healthy;" Thrift, never be poor. "Not long ago, I read this book and deeply felt that thrift is the foundation of self-cultivation.
Diligence and self-control, regardless of official position. "I have been a servant for more than 20 years, but I dare not have a little bureaucracy. I eat and live in a cold and simple family style." Zeng Guofan is in the position of Zaifu, so he is not thrifty, nor is he extravagant. He refused to let his children live in Beijing when he met aristocratic men who were extravagant, corrupt and profligate. His original wife has been leading the children to live in his hometown in the countryside, and the plaque of "auspicious symbol" and "waiting symbol" is not allowed to hang outside the door. Zeng Guofan demanded "to be honest and frugal, and vowed not to send a penny to his family." My wife has no spare money at home, so she cooks and weaves herself. Because she was thrifty all her life, she won the reputation of "the highest generation of moral articles".
Diligence and self-control, the most important thing is to be strict with yourself. "Sun and others have no livelihood in Beijing, so they can't send back the money they bought. Too embarrassing. " 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 "been blessed by the emperor and had to do his best." Arguably, there should be a steady stream of gold and silver sent, why can't even help his family? Doing nothing, not taking bribes, being strict with myself everywhere, so poor that I don't even have the cost of going back to my hometown.
Diligence and self-control, become better and be kind to others. "If someone is an official at home, he has to be more relaxed among his neighbors, and his family has to be more conservative." Zeng Guofan not only set an example, but also set an example for the people around him, set rules and remained poor. It is precisely because I am an official in the DPRK that I should be lenient and strict with myself and restrain my relatives and neighbors, so that I can be cautious, cautious and cautious. Proverbs from letters from home, put in the contemporary era, how many leading cadres have fallen under the sword of anti-corruption because they have not managed themselves and the people around them.
Diligence and self-control are the foundation of a prosperous family and a strong country. Since the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China advocated economy, people all over the country have taken active actions. Only the "CD-ROM" operation can save 8 million tons of fat on the table every year, which is equivalent to the oil content of 6.5438+0.5 million tons of soybeans. Table residue, which is regarded as insignificant, can reduce soybean imports by more than 6.5438+million tons every year. See the big from the small, be diligent and frugal, and oppose extravagance and waste, not only at the dinner table, but also at the moment. Today, in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, we party member cadres have the responsibility to pay more attention to diligence and self-improvement, consciously practice socialist core values, and be qualified citizens, ambitious young people and promising cadres.
Learn from Zeng Guofan's sixth grade reading letter: Fan
Speaking of Zeng Guofan, our first thought is his political style and achievements in the Qing Dynasty. But in fact, he is an important historical figure in China in modern times, known as the first minister in the late Qing Dynasty, a perfect man through the ages and a model of officialdom. He purged the political style, advocated learning from the west, and initiated the rejuvenation of tongzhi, which made the Qing dynasty, which was about to collapse, last for more than 60 years, and its achievements were unmatched. In his youth, Mao Zedong once said, "Fools love their own people and serve Ceng Wenzheng alone." Visible zeng guofan's great influence. The same is true of Chiang Kai-shek, which also shows that Zeng Guofan is the only one in his life. Chiang Kai-shek also used Zeng Guofan's letter as a textbook for self-cultivation in Huangpu Military Academy.
Zeng Guofan's family education thought is mainly reflected in his letters to his sons Ji Ze, Ji Hong and their brothers. There are more than 330 letters from Zeng Guofan, * * *, which is the most complete one. The book is divided into three categories: housekeeping, self-cultivation, persuasion, financial management, emergency, making friends, employing people, marching, traveling and chores, *** 10. The Zeng family has always been very strict and well-behaved. Zeng Guofan was influenced by his family style and was strict with his children. His guiding ideology of family education has many merits. For example, they inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation in teaching their children to study, study, work hard, be thrifty, be self-reliant, be persistent, cultivate themselves and be officials.
"Learn from Zeng Guofan politically and Hu Xueyan commercially." This is a famous saying widely recognized by people with lofty ideals in modern times. Zeng Guofan has been regarded as a model of officialdom by politicians since modern times. He is familiar with the history of China, knows the way of officialdom, and has accumulated a set of "keeping poor" officialdom juexue. One of his creeds, "Being poor is to protect officials, and being poor is to be healthy", is used in China officialdom and is invincible. He wrote a pair of couplets, meaning "to raise a group of young people and two poor bones" to motivate himself and be a good official all his life "civil servants are not greedy for money and military officers are not afraid of death". As can be seen from the letters from home, Zeng Guofan is his son, which can reassure his parents; Yes, brother, I can teach and take good care of my siblings and be considerate; Zeng Guofan is a kind father and a good example for children.
His letters from home emphasize the ideal of life, spiritual realm and moral cultivation, which is beyond the reach of modern people. In the modern society where family ties are becoming increasingly indifferent, neighbors and relatives are strangers, people are indifferent and materialistic, it is really valuable to read "Letters from Zeng Guofan" carefully, which is really worth reading, especially for today's rich second generation education. From ancient times to the present, most bureaucrats have been in a state of decline for three generations, mostly because of the "civil servants love money and military officers are afraid of death" of dude children. However, the Zeng family is full of talented people, and a number of diplomats, poets, educators, scientists and senior cadres have emerged. Zeng Guofan has profound knowledge accomplishment, and it is very accurate for Mao Zedong to say that he is a "man who works (does business) and preaches (leaves his thoughts and theories behind)". He studied hard all his life, respected Confucianism and emphasized practical application, and became another "Confucian master" after Confucius, Mencius and Zhu. He innovated the literary theory of Tongcheng School, and his poems presided over Daoguang, Xianfeng and Tongzhi literary circles, which can be described as a figure in moral articles all his life.
After reading Zeng Guofan's letter, I naturally admire or admire!
Experience of Third Reading Zeng Guofan's Letters by Fan Wen in Grade Six
"Traitor, executioner and traitor" is Zeng Guofan's evaluation in history. However, since 1990s, there has been an upsurge of research and criticism on Zeng Guofan in China's ideological and cultural circles. Why does the same personality lead to the opposite conclusion? Zeng Guofan lived in an era of earth-shaking social changes in China. I think it was the fierce, sharp and complicated national struggle that pushed him to the forefront and created his complicated thoughts and personality. His life activities had a great influence on the social history of China in three aspects: his military career, his pioneering industry and his self-cultivation. Flattery and demanding are not what I want to say. Zeng's merits and demerits are still left to readers with deeper thoughts to judge. What I want to say is the content of "being an honest man" that runs through his letters after I read them again.
There are five Zeng Guofan brothers, and he is the boss. As an elder brother, he fully shoulders the heavy responsibility of his younger brothers to learn, be a man and cultivate themselves. His family letters mentioned many times that his grandfather Zeng Yuping managed the family's legacy. He was inculcated in life, politics, family style, body and mind, which fully reflected his demeanor as an elder brother. One of the articles, Teaching My Brother, was specially written for Cheng Di and Ceng Guoquan, who are housework at home. Zeng Guofan insisted on teaching his younger brothers to study, to be good people and to put aside many aspects. This moved me for a long time, and I couldn't help but want to write it down and encourage my peers. Personally, I don't think anyone will disagree.
In the first month of the eighth year of Xianfeng, Zeng Guofan said in a letter to his younger brother Ceng Guoquan that he should be an honest man. Zeng Guofan was confident that he was born an honest man, just because he was well-informed and sophisticated, and sometimes he changed his mind with a little cleverness, and as a result, he learned badly. (Ha ha, after reading this, I still think this guy has some suspicion of exonerating himself. ) Look at the next sentence, which is acceptable again. He added that in fact, using these skills to change the situation is not as handy as others, which makes people laugh in vain. What are the benefits? He introspected himself and thought it would be better to "give me back the true colors of my family and restore my own nature", because a wise man should first be an honest man and strive to be honest. He advised his younger brother to return to his honest nature as soon as possible, and never embark on the road of technological contingency, which would become more and more humble. He thinks that even if others cheat you cleverly, you still treat him with simplicity and frankness, and treat him with sincerity and frankness. Over time, people's opinions will be eliminated. If you are intrigued and don't give in to each other, when will the feud be repaid?
Let's talk about the merits and demerits of the Millennium first, but I think anyone will be moved by the connotation of the above sentence. Such family precepts, such teachings. When will it be out of date? Who has an objection? Throughout human history, any great man has his unique personality charm. Zeng Guofan is not a great man, but his inculcation naturally shows this man's inner cultivation. When I read it carefully, I was involuntarily moved when I read it again, so that I wanted to read it many times. You can't measure yourself until you go deep into this person's soul.
Being an honest person is really an eternal golden rule. I think deeper now, because of Zeng Guofan's letter from home, I think I will be taught by this family and think longer.
Experience of reading Zeng Guofan's letters in the sixth grade: Fan
Zeng Guofan is a legendary figure in the history of China, and he is praised by later generations as "one of the four great figures of ZTE in the late Qing Dynasty" and "the first perfect man in ancient and modern times". His works have not been passed down to later generations, but they are very weighty and people can benefit a lot from reading them. We can learn a thing or two from Zeng Guofan's letters.
It's called "letter from home", but it's not. The works are in the form of letters, which are easy to understand and meaningful in content. After careful reading, I feel that it is like food, which can maintain the continuation of spiritual life; Like a hospital, it can heal the wounds of the soul; Just like a supermarket, there are plenty of things at your disposal. ......
First, about reading and self-cultivation.
Zeng Guofan thought that a scholar should have ambition first. People with lofty ideals are not willing to be inferior; The second is to be knowledgeable. If you have knowledge, you will have endless knowledge, and you dare not be self-sufficient. For example, Hebo watches the sea, and the well frog peeps into the sky. "My life is limited and my knowledge is limited", which is the truth. Third, there must be perseverance, perseverance, nothing is impossible.
In the process of reading, you should read one book at a time. If you haven't finished reading a book, don't read other books. This is all because of the outside world. In addition, the scholar also pays attention to nourishing qi, that is, being calm, telling people everything, and being frank. Pay attention to health, that is, abstinence, labor and diet. Excessive desire will only bring trouble to people, while excessive fatigue will make people physically and mentally exhausted and hopeless. Third, be careful. Scholars should always pay attention to what they say. The so-called "disaster comes from the mouth."
Second, about fame.
In the traditional culture of China, the fame of scholars is an enduring topic. Thousands of years of official career history can be said to be the ultimate evaluation of literati's "winner is king, loser is enemy", but Zeng Guofan also has his own views on this evaluation standard. He was disappointed to learn from letters from his family that his fourth and sixth brothers failed the exam. He believes that the name of a family is predestined in a previous life and cannot be forced at all. Scholars have two purposes: first, to strengthen moral cultivation, to stress sincerity, integrity, self-cultivation, family harmony, and not to humiliate their ancestors; The second is to achieve a career through reading and becoming famous, thus prolonging your life. And the thing that sustains life is to feed yourself. Farmers, craftsmen, businessmen and laborers support themselves, and scholars work hard to support themselves, all of which are the same. If a scholar passes the exam, he will receive a salary in the DPRK. If he fails, he will either teach in the countryside, be a waiter for diners, or be a guest in the curtain. These all need to calculate his own skills to eat well. To say the least, even if you get on the list and become an official in the DPRK, you should count your talents and virtues to avoid being a vegetarian in the future. However, whether all this is won or not depends entirely on providence, and whether you are proficient or not depends on yourself. People who are not proficient in industry and have no food and clothing are like farmers farming. Even if there is a famine year, there will be a bumper year, just like a merchant's goods are overstocked and unsalable, and they will certainly sell well. Then a scholar, if he is good at his work, will eventually gain fame. Even if he can't, there must be other ways to support himself. In Zeng Guofan's view, fame is not the main thing, but making a living is the key.
Under his educational philosophy, his son Ceng Jize is not only proficient in China's poetry, calligraphy and painting, but also interested in western mathematics, physics, chemistry and linguistics. He had many academic monographs, taught himself many languages, and became a diplomat in the Qing Dynasty. Political corruption and cheating in the imperial examination were very common when older people took part in the imperial examination. Zeng Guofan just sealed the marquis. He is worried that his son will go astray. Before the exam, he deliberately told his son "don't associate with counties before the exam, and have a sense of self-respect." Before the announcement, he told his son to respect himself again. He failed many times, and later became a modern mathematician in China by self-study, and his mathematical monographs were handed down from generation to generation. These two sons embody Zeng Guofan's thought of fame and fortune, that is, "fame and fortune depend on God's will, but mastery is their own way", which is the great vision.
Third, the worry of a gentleman.
The ancients once said that "a man with a culture can rest on his reputation", which means that once he can read and write, the troubles and frustrations of life begin. Zeng Guofan believes that people's worries include the worries of gentlemen and ordinary people. A gentleman's heart has the ability to tolerate everything, all ethnic groups, introspect and help the monarch outside, and then let his parents not be ashamed of their own commitment, so that they can be worthy of people in heaven and earth. Therefore, a gentleman is not as good as Shun, not as good as Zhou Gong. If you don't make progress in your studies, you will worry about the stubbornness and cunning of the people and the distance between the villain's position and the gentleman. Of course, this is a gentleman's worry and compassion. In Zeng Guofan's view, ordinary people are worried about their daily trivial food and clothing, secular honor and disgrace, fame and fortune. Come to think of it, it's true. A person's life is only three meals a day, and his life is only seven feet. "Even if there is an iron threshold for a thousand years, it will eventually be a bunch of bumpkins." Why worry about small fame and small profits?
Fourth, rich in knowledge.
Everything has its ups and downs, and it has its own destiny. In Zeng Guofan's letters with his family, there is one thing: Zeng Guofan sent 1200 taels of silver to his family, and explained that 600 taels were used to pay off debts and 400 taels were used as gifts for relatives and friends. The Zeng family is not rich. As the eldest son of the family, Zeng Guofan himself often borrowed money to live, but in this case, why did Zeng Guofan squeeze out money to help relatives? The reason, in his own words, is that the family is too rich, so we should be extra careful and think that we are the way to protect Thailand. Zeng Guofan was the fastest promoted person in the Qing Dynasty, setting a record of "moving seven times in ten years". This miracle is related to his political ability, but on the other hand, it is also inseparable from his high political insight. Zeng Guofan was born in a civilian, without any background or backer. But he is familiar with the dangers of officialdom, and his experience in officialdom makes him be careful step by step. For the sake of his career economy, he is not only strict with himself, but also strict with himself, for fear that his official position will change the financial situation of his family and form their bad habits. Therefore, he should support his relatives in his own difficult situation and pay his debts with extra care. "If the old debts are paid off, then if the debts are not paid off, it will be a good thing and a happy way." Too poor to get carried away.
Besides the above four points, there are many points in Zeng Guofan's letters, such as family harmony, making friends and running the army. Read a letter from home, read Zeng Guofan's eternal romance, read a letter from home, watch the rise and fall of a family, read a letter from home, if you are calm, why bother!
Zeng Guofan's experience in reading Fan Jiashu in the sixth grade.
Zeng Guofan is a very prominent and controversial figure in modern China. Zeng Guofan's letters mainly describe Zeng Guofan's main activities in his life, reflecting his important thoughts on politics, life, running the family, studying and running the army. Mao Zedong commented on Zeng Guofan, "approachable, taking Ceng Wenzheng alone", which shows the great influence of Zeng Guofan. After reading all the letters from home, I personally have the following four feelings:
0 1, learn the way of keeping in good health.
Zeng Guofan attached great importance to preserving health and prolonging life. In many letters, he mentioned "observing father's training to keep healthy" and "saving labor, abstinence and diet". It is precisely because of his emphasis on the way of keeping in good health that he has a strong body, which enables him to travel south and fight north, and assume the great responsibility of being a pillar of talent for decades.
02. Learn its reading method.
"First, be ambitious; second, be knowledgeable; third, be persistent. To set a goal in reading, only extensive and persistent reading can achieve success.
03, learn the way to run the army.
Zeng Guofan and his younger brother Ceng Guoquan talked about politics or the army in many letters. For Zeng Guofan's way of running the army, when Ceng Guoquan was guarding Nanjing, he was already the general of hosts. A letter from Zeng Guofan advised him to be calm, calm and thoughtful; The other is to persuade him to pay attention to choosing successors as soon as possible, saying that' the first meaning of doing great things is to choose multiple successors'. "
04. Learn how to be a man.
A letter from Zeng Guofan shows Zeng Guofan's lifelong pursuit of "self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world". For example, in his letter to his younger brother, he repeatedly exhorted, expected and warned: "We can only study in Germany." Pride is long, but you never make progress, so you are down and out all your life and never make progress. "Zeng Guofan pursues patience first in his life, advocates thrift in everything, and is not proud of being an official. He was the first minister in the late Qing Dynasty, the founder and commander-in-chief of the Xiang Army, and was praised by later generations as "the first perfect man through the ages".
