Extended information: Zeng Guofan believes that the most important thing is the principle of filial piety among family members. Filial piety is easy to understand, which means gratitude, respect and support for parents and elders. Xun refers to the harmony and friendship between brothers, that is, the harmony and harmony between peers. In Zeng Guofan's family letters, it is generally thought that he wrote the most letters to his children. In fact, he wrote the most letters to his younger brother, which shows that he attaches importance to the relationship between brothers. Zeng Guofan has a famous comment that the law of family prosperity is: the official family in the world is generally depressed after only one generation, because most of them are playboys; The family of merchants, that is, the family of private entrepreneurs, can generally be passed down for three generations; Farming and reading homes, that is, families based on farming and reading, can generally flourish for five or six generations; The family of filial friends is a family that pays attention to filial piety and manages the family with harmony, which can often last for ten generations and eight generations. Under the tenet of "ruling the family by harmony", Zeng Guofan also emphasized "managing the family by diligence". In Zeng Guofan's view, this diligence has two meanings: one is that family members should be diligent and frugal, and the other is that parents should be diligent in teaching by example. Zeng Guofan said these things, and he can take the lead in doing it meticulously, and he did it very well. For example, Ceng Jize, the second son, likes western sociology, and Zeng Jihong likes mathematics and physics. Although Zeng Guofan knows nothing, he can try his best to understand and study hard. Such a father is truly a "diligent" father. Under the influence of Zeng Guofan, Ceng Jize always taught children to learn English, mathematics and music in person, and also taught them to practice calligraphy, write poems and explain classics and laws. No matter how busy he was, he always took time out to spend time with his children and his family every day. This is the best family education. Therefore, there are many scientists, educators and social activists in Zeng Guofan's descendants, great-grandchildren and even great-grandchildren.
