Zeng Guofan's calligraphy

A gentleman wants to achieve great things, does not do long-term things, and does not go to places where people contend. A letter from Zeng Guofan. In Zeng Guofan's letter to his family, two sentences are very important: don't do things with long-term interests and don't go to places where people compete for each other. Because he conveyed a vision for the long-term livelihood of the family. Look at the first sentence first: don't do what you want for a long time. Literally, don't do long-term beneficial things.
